My whole family used to crowd around the NES every weekend taking turns trying to beat this game, Lolo, and Zelda. StarTropics was one of our favorites, but we collectively could never beat it.

You got chocolate in my peanut butter!

Scientists have been scrambling to discover what happened; now the culprits are emerging. A research paper published by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), though not yet peer-reviewed, has found nearly all colonies had contracted a bee virus spread by parasitic mites that appear to have developed resistance to the main chemicals used to control them.

Varroa mites spreading disease.

Earlier this month, Zohran Mamdani went on Hot 97, New York’s preeminent hip-hop radio station, to tell the story of how he first entered politics. It’s a tale he’s told many times: In 2015, Mamdani started knocking on doors for an aspiring Queens city councilman, Ali Najmi. But when he told it this time, Mamdani highlighted the real reason he wanted to get involved.

That reason was Himanshu Suri, the Queens-raised rapper and co-founder of the groups Das Racist and Swet Shop Boys. Suri, better known as Heems, grew up with Najmi and had been campaigning on his childhood friend’s behalf.

It’s Heems.

But I thought DEI was bad…

Saved you a click: she thought $1.2 billion per year over 10 years totaled more than $1trillion.

DHS said that in addition to barring enrollment of future international students, “existing foreign students must transfer to lose their legal status.” The revocation, which DHS said was the result of “pro-terrorist conduct,” was first reported by The New York Times.

What does it mean that they “must transfer to lose”? Is she saying if they transfer they lose their status and that that transfer is being forced, or that they must transfer or lose it?

What is the justification?

What a waste of taxpayer dollars. If only there were a department for government efficiency that could fire everyone involved.

Only the best words.

It’s almost like someone backed out of an agreement that was already in place.

Thursday night into Friday morning

So the 13th into the 14th.

No idea, I just quoted the article since I hate those clickbait headlines.

The latest, deluxe end point of these time and attendance tchotchkes and apps is something like Austin-headquartered HID’s OmniKey platform. Designed for factories, hospitals, universities and offices, this is essentially an all-encompassing RFID log-in and security system for employees, via smart cards, smartphone wallets, and wearables.

I think it would be mandatory. It’s against “preferred” pronouns, right? If they prefer to be called by pronouns that match their gender, it would be illegal to use them?

Much obliged.

The Tennessee GOP has just made it a felony to vote against their policies.

Got a link? I hadn’t heard of this before now…
