Hunter Biden's Explanation for Threatening Text to Chinese Exec Is Beyond Stupid On Wednesday, Hunter Biden testified on Capitol Hill and attempted to downplay the threatening text message he sent to one of his Chinese business partners, in which he indicated he was "sitting here with my father” waiting to discuss their deal.

Federal Judge Blocks Texas Border Security Law U.S. District Judge David Ezra ruled today that Texas Senate Bill 4 violates the U.S. Constitution and prior Supreme Court rulings that put the federal government in charge of immigration laws and restrictions. Senate Bill 4 was scheduled to go into effect on March 5. The new law would allow local law officers to arrest and state judges to deport illegal aliens along the southern border. Lawyers for Texas argued that the law signed by Governor Abbott in December is a valid response to President Biden's dereliction of duty on the border.

If this is not a current event, it is definitely (or should definitely be) a hot social topic to fling out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5 Reasons Why Poop Is Green, and When to See a Healthcare Provider Seeing green poop (stool) in the toilet can be surprising and scary. Poop is typically brown due to the normal digestive process and bile contents (the yellowish-green fluid that helps break down the food you eat). But normal poop can vary slightly in color from brown to green. Foods that you eat, as well as certain medications or supplements, can also turn your poop green. And sometimes green poop can be a sign of an underlying health issue. Let's take a closer look at the most common causes of green poop and when you need to see your medical provider about it.

Matt Taibbi is righteously horrified. This is NOT good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Wrote What? Google's AI-Powered Libel Machine Last night, after seeing chatter about Google/Alphabet's much-ballyhooed new AI tool, Gemini, I checked for myself. Any product rollout disastrous enough to cause a one-day share drop of 4.4% for a firm with a $1.73 trillion market capitalization must be quite a spectacle, I thought. Matt Walsh's recap was worth it just for the look on his face. Chuckling to start, by the end of the night I wasn't laughing, unprepared as I was for certain horrifying if lesser-publicized quirks of "the Gemini era."

We finally know why humans don't have tails Approximately 25 million years ago, an ancestor of both humans and apes genetically diverged from monkeys and lost its tail. No one had identified the genetic mutation responsible for this dramatic change in our physiology — until now. In a new study published Wednesday (Feb. 28) in the journal Nature, researchers identified a unique DNA mutation that drove the loss of our ancestors' tails. It's located in the gene TBXT, which is known to be involved in tail length in tailed animals. The impressive discovery began when first study author Bo Xia, formerly a graduate student at New York University who is now a principal investigator at the Broad Institute, injured his tailbone and became interested in the structure's origin.

The Government Really Is Spying On You — And It's Legal The freakout moment that set journalist Byron Tau on a five-year quest to expose the sprawling U.S. data surveillance state occurred over a "wine-soaked dinner" back in 2018 with a source he cannot name. The tipster told Tau the government was buying up reams of consumer data — information scraped from cellphones, social media profiles, internet ad exchanges and other open sources — and deploying it for often-clandestine purposes like law enforcement and national security in the U.S. and abroad. The places you go, the websites you visit, the opinions you post — all collected and legally sold to federal agencies.

Pretty powerful. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 2024 Election Will Be Neither Free Nor Fair There is nothing normal about the presidential election of 2024—nor should we attempt to normalize it, because the Democrats' behavior has been a tragedy for American democracy. As Matt Taibbi put it in an outstanding article analyzing recent moves from the Democrats, the "2024 presidential race increasingly looks like it will be decided by lawyers, not voters, as Democrats unveil plans for America's first lawfare election."

We seem to be in great need of our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke! ============================================================= JUST HANGING AROUND The psychiatrist at the insane asylum was doing his normal morning rounds. He entered a patient's room and found the patient sitting on the floor, sawing at a piece of wood with the side of his hand. Meanwhile, another patient was in the room, hanging from the ceiling by his foot. The psychiatrist asked his patient what he was doing, sitting on the floor. The patient replied in an irritated voice, "Can't you see that I'm sawing this piece of wood in half?" The doctor asked, "And what is this other fellow doing, hanging from the ceiling?" "Oh -- he's my friend, but he's a little crazy. He thinks he's a light bulb." The doctor asked, "If he's your friend, shouldn't you get him down from there before he hurts himself?" "What?! And work in the DARK?!"
