White House acknowledges problems in RFK Jr.'s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ report Perhaps AI hallucinations? Make AI Healthy Again. MAHAhahahaha...

Court says Trump doesn't have the authority to set tariffs "Stuff" just got real. But why did it take them so long to rule?

Re-reading the Broken Earth series from N. K. Jemisin because it's been a few years now, and I'm seeing a lot of details I missed the first time through. I was thinking maybe Sonequa Martin-Green to play the role of Essen. She's 40 now so that fits. How about Morgan Freeman for Alabaster? Timothée Chalamet could be Hoa.

Live-Action Elden Ring Movie on the Way from A24 and Director Alex Garland Of course it's not going to be another video game to movie train wreck, right?

German court convicts 4 ex-Volkswagen managers of fraud in emissions scandal A decision that resembles actual justice? Well good on the German judiciary then.

More likely it's the result of confirmation bias.

I think you just contradicted yourself. The ready availability of USA sources vs. a higher risk of extracting central Ukraine sources will have an impact on investments.

I think they only said they have multiple games in development. That may indicate they have something other than WH40K in the works. Time will tell.

The US just found an enormous deposit of lithium on the Nevada-Oregon border. (US$1.5 trillion worth.) Another giant deposit was found in Arkansas. Not to mention large amounts of lithium found in fracking deposits. That may change the resource situation a bit.

Well it's almost barbeque season, if it isn't already.

Nothing really. It's a day of introspection.

Which is better: mental decline or mental derangement? I'm not sure either is useful in a leader.

I have watched WoT and it was okay entertainment. The problem always was that WoT dragged on for 15 books, and there's almost no way the series could have lasted that long. I'd rather see something like Jemisin's wonderful three volume Broken Earth trilogy in live action form.

The problem will be solved with a magic Sharpie marker, just you watch.

I'm finding Dorodo is a pretty good watch. It's certainly more adult oriented than many Anime series, with less of the goofy humor. The art for this fantasy medieval Japanese-style setting is decent as well.

Another incompetent decision has now been reversed: In reversal, Trump administration restores classes at the National Fire Academy

As usual, after complaining about a Democratic President's deficit spending, the Big B.S. Bill is predicted to add $3.7 trillion/decade to the deficit. Well at least that is less than the $7.8 trillion added during Trump's first term. (Biden's was $6.2 trillion.)

Norm! Yeah, back in college we all watched Cheers in the lounge. Good series it was.

I'm watching Orphan Black: Echoes on Hoopla w/ Krysten Ritter. It's a pretty nice service; all I need is a library card to check out an episode.

Trump confronts South African leader with baseless claims of the systematic killing of white farmers Well either Trump-whisperer Musk has him turned, or Trumps cray-cray is leaking. Maybe both.

My Sis had a nice trip to Scotland, England, and France all planned out, and I was happy for her since she's had some difficult times lately. She ends up in a hospital in Scotland with Legionnaire's disease. Sheesh, who gets Legionnaire's disease? Anyway, she's resting up and recovering now, thank goodness. But the holiday had to be cancelled.

Chicago Sun-Times prints summer reading list full of fake books It looks like we're living in "interesting" times. Or at least fakery times.

New policy limits new COVID-19 vaccines to just older adults and at-risk kids, thereby stopping the virus in it tracks. New Trump vaccine policy limits access to COVID shots The new health policy seems to be, "just die already, will ya?"

It's interesting that a guy with six bankruptcies to his name is now telling Walmart how to ru(i)n their business.
