Yikes! The “doomsday glacier” is melting faster than scientists expected. NOAA projects another 10 - 12 inches of sea level rise along US coastlines by 2050. Think on what that means… 💦 Miami: Streets & neighborhoods underwater 💦 NYC: Greater flooding risks for homes, businesses, subways

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

So weird, the Kennedy Center was financially stable and a meaningful contributor to the arts for 55 years. It was revenue positive by $41M in 2024. Gotta wonder what happened in the last 16 months to bring it so low. Everything he touches dies. Post Anything Here: InteractInk.com
