FEDERAL JUDGE REVERSES CONVICTION OF BORDER VOLUNTEERS, CHALLENGING GOVERNMENT’S “GRUESOME LOGIC”
“Monday’s reversal offers the latest evidence that the lengthy prosecutorial campaign has not only failed, it has now resulted in two novel cases in which RFRA has been used to successfully defend the provision of humanitarian aid on the border.”
Good news: a holiday specifically to allow people to vote, no matter their work situation.
Bad news: Virginia still had an official holiday for Lee & Jackson until 2020.
Dems: Getting shit done since 2020! Yeah, as a slogan, that kinda sucks.

I realize this is just two people that probably nobody here knows or has ever heard of, but I have to admit when I saw the headline that they’d been found after all, against all odds, ALIVE…well, it really did warm the cockles of my heart:
Cool indeed!
And I learned a new term: cadaver dogs
Helsinki Energy Challenge
The climate crisis is the most crucial challenge of our time, and cities have a key role in driving the shift to a low-carbon economy. Helsinki is one of the leading cities in the transition towards a sustainable future, with the goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2035. But there is an issue to overcome. Currently, more than half of the city’s heat is produced with coal. In order to achieve carbon-neutrality, we need radically new solutions to meet Helsinki’s heat demand. And we are not alone. To fight climate change, sustainable heating solutions are needed in cities all over the world. Heating not just beyond coal, but also beyond burning biomass.
That is why we are launching the Helsinki Energy Challenge .
A global one-million-euro challenge competition to answer the question: How can we decarbonise the heating of Helsinki, using as little biomass as possible?

Well that’s encouraging!
I’m encouraging right now!
This is the argument I can’t believe doesn’t come up more in the Billionaire’s Shouldn’t Exist argument in the primaries. Pundits and moderators keep framing the question either as a) the billionaire should be exterminated or b) the money should just…disappear, or gasp be paid in taxes. No one seems to mention, at least consistently enough that if siad otherwise-billionaire wanted to avoid those horrible fates, it could and should have gone to the workers
Omgosh, it is crazy easy. Lol We go there every few months. Besides what we order, we order to take home too. We went there for my daughters 17th bday (her choice) & took a friend. I left over $100 poorer and the teen with us took a picture to send to her dad on a mission trip in Uganda bc the three of us had SO much food. (They also put so many things on separate plates). Just call us gluttons.
