Duterte was arrested in March by Philippine authorities on a warrant issued by the ICC. He is now being held at an ICC facility in the Netherlands.

At issue is whether the president has the authority to dismiss the heads of those agencies that are protected by Congress.

Historians and citizens who say they are concerned about the Trump administration's pressure on the Smithsonian are working to document exhibits, as they exist today, throughout the museum network.

NEW: Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises. Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found. By @emcahan.bsky.social

You know, Dems might do just as well to attack the TV network affiliate model as they would to undermine, say, car dealerships. The nation needs local news — but years of lax oversight and corporate consolidation have permitted the likes of Sinclair to turn local stations into political megaphones.

This is significant. I'm currently in Estonia, where the secretary general of the foreign ministry here told reporters including me that while they could have shot down the Russian jets that entered their airspace, they had "no intention of shooting anyone down" www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Time to get serious, WV. Playing politics won't save this state

This is really fun watching someone reverse engineer a Rush drum track. youtu.be/80lys4YdafM?...

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that the data showing the safety and effectiveness of vaccines is significantly more robust than it is for Leucovorin as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder. Gold Standard Science, eh fellas?

I haven't ever seen a dry-erase type notebook like this one that belonged to Thomas Jefferson.

let me share a little story about a remarkable wasp that I encountered yesterday in our local deserts I stumbled across her, and scrambled to get a few crappy photos .... but then realized that she had a burrow, perhaps a better photo op was possible ?? here she is at her burrow entrance.

One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

There's a very good reason why it's a very bad idea to let anyone own 38 stations on the same network.

New 💅 based on this awesome early 18th c. English Delft (tin-enamel). The distinctive color palette of blue, red and green is called Bristol, though it was also made in London. This vessel was found at George Washington Birthplace, and was likely used by the Washington family. #maniarchaeology

Lmao

NVIDIA is making a $300B "investment" in OpenAI that essentially pays OpenAi to buy its chips. OpenAI says it will now embark upon a buildout of data center clusters requiring 10GW of power, adding to the many GWs of data center demand already in the pipeline. What could possibly go wrong.

Aliens have the opportunity to do the funniest shit ever tomorrow

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

welcome to the resistance, acetaminophen

😂 love them

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/22/business/nvidia-openai-investment So do I get this right… #nvidia hands $100 billion to #openai for them to buy more NVIDIA chips with that? Is this a peak-hype perpetuum mobile?

OMG adorable

How many people can die in 3 crashes? 4? 6? How many lives are expendable to make a billionaire happy?

Sheesh, did NYT talk to this single guy? We've all argued with him on Twitter during the pandemic and there's no "impeccable integrity." There's a reason he's one of the original Great Barrington Declaration signees (an astroturf from a libertarian think tank).

He's absolutely right. Bullies only understand their ass getting handed to them. Oblige them. Every. Single. Time.

This is the coolest thing you'll see all day

So please don’t both sides the critique of the truly terrible NY Times piece this morning. As Daniel Patrick Moynihan said once: you are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts. The piece is garbage.

"I'm just asking questions" should be given all the credence of "I'm just selling early access passes from my 3-hour-old Steam account"

More than 150 lawyers and refugee NGOs report being ‘pressured into silence’ by far-right protesters

Looks like the FDA’s Vinay Prasad lied. Again.

Our first dishwasher wasn't even a built-in model. It was an ugly beast on wheels and you had to roll it over to the sink when you were ready to use it. It had two hoses that hooked up to the sink faucet for water and drainage. Totally steam-punk.

"Since 2002, right-wing ideologies have fueled more than 70% of all extremist attacks and domestic terrorism plots in the United States, according to the Anti-Defamation League." -- so call them out as liars when they say otherwise www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage
