The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us... But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

I don't really know how to shout this from the rooftops any louder: If this actually happens, it would spell the end of U.S. numerical weather prediction--the scientific models, run on supercomputers, used to create virtually all weather forecasts. www.axios.com/2025/0...

After years of falsely claiming that MMR vaccines cause autism, RFK Jr. has published a new op-ed on Fox’s website encouraging people to get the vaccine amid a measles outbreak that has already resulted in the death of a school-aged child.
