Oil giant BP not only funded the research behind an influential climate science paper, but company execs even tried to revise versions of it. “Chaps, I have had a go at rewriting the paper,” a BP climate adviser wrote the researchers at one point. (Published June w/ @drilledmedia.bsky.social)

It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

All to dodge one uncomfortable vote - much like his maneuvers last year to hold off the Epstein files. You don't have to be a Democrat to find that disgraceful. In less than seven weeks, Americans can change all this. 48 days to go

The weird thing about doing a deep clean is that the stuff I always throw out -- old financial docs, admin records, ancient mobile devices -- is also the stuff that historians and archaeologists love to find. Unfortunately, "it will be valuable in 1000 years" is not a good reason to save something.

USPS is reportedly pushing ahead with untested technology to carry out Trump’s attack on mail-in voting. The plan, if it’s allowed to go forward, could completely “derail” the midterms, according to a whistleblower. Trump will stop at nothing to cheat his way to victory.

Never bought a McDonald's toy in my life til this Godzilla/Hello Kitty mashup appeared. Three down, two to go. Don't need them all but scored a couple of Godzilla.
