Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Seriously

To understand the magnitude of this loss, I was a biologist specializing in the recovery of federally endangered plants & their habitat in western NC, a region catastrophically damaged by Hurricane Helene. With my role eliminated, Helene recovery efforts in Asheville just got even more challenging.

Months after Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina, Asheville remains one of the top destinations for 2025.

When Jake Lenderman was a rock-and-roll-obsessed kid in Asheville, North Carolina, he never dared to dream about selling out two nights at the Orange Peel, the biggest club in his cozy mountain hometown. “One, maybe,” he tells me with a sheepish chuckle. “But maybe not sold-out, either.”

Idiocracy was a documentary

Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil

The term 'atheist' doesn't even seem logical to exist. It's akin to creating a word for a group of people who don't believe in the real existence of Superman.

Gan Shan West is what I would call my favorite comfort food restaurant in Asheville. Absolutely incredibly satisfying every single time. It's a tiny place, right next to a cool brewery you can try before dinner (Archetype). A fantastic date night destination. www.ganshanavl.com/online-order...

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Photographer Varun Aditya captured this stunning clip of a pride of lions without using a flash. The photographer spent three nights in a hiding place, waiting for the perfect moment.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This is Buster. He's having the best day ever. Gets to play in the pool AND get rained on at the same time. 13/10 every lab's dream
