As a fellow attorney, it was extremely satisfying to see his updated status and the big, glaring consumer alert. He abused the privilege and is a disgrace to the legal community and (what remains of) the justice system.
The fish pepper (named for its common use in seafood dishes) is popular today, but it nearly disappeared altogether: that it still exists is thanks to William Woys Weaver, a Maryland author and ethnographer. In 1995, Weaver discovered a jar of seeds in the bottom of a freezer that belonged to his grandfather, H Ralph Weaver....
Oh good grief, don’t tell my parents. It’s already nearly impossible to get them to throw anything away; if they knew there was a fraction of a chance that their hoarding would prevent extinction of something, it would be absolutely impossible.
Though this is pretty cool if you’re not from a hoarder family. 😂
The transactions have bred fresh accusations that Alito, one of the high court’s six conservatives, is engaging in or aligning with partisan politics, despite a recently adopted code of conduct that directs the justices to “refrain from political activity.”
The 35-year-old Bank of America (BAC.N) investment banker who died from a blood clot earlier this month wanted to leave the U.S. bank because he was working more than 100 hours a week, according to an executive recruiter who spoke with him about seeking a new job.

"Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz landed Sunday in the United States in what senior Israeli officials said was a calculated move by the White House designed to strengthen the moderate wing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government,” Haaretz reports....
Netanyahu is every terrible Jewish stereotype wrapped in flesh. As a Jew, I abhor him. I would hate him if I weren’t a Jew, too, but his attempt to represent me and mine with his bloody hands earns him extra spite.
I hope Gantz’s visit further empowers those Israelis who are against Netanyahu and his genocidal agenda. Bibi needs to be gone.

I can think of a fantastic stopping point for Season 2 that’ll leave fans unfamiliar with the source material on the edge of their seats.
Unless it’s the scene that made everyone have certain feelings about Abby, which is decently early in the game, I’m not sure what scene they mean. Anyone have thoughts?
This is a weird one, but hear me out. Undiluted cold brew coffee mixed with chocolate meal replacement powder and milk. The powder and milk make it really foamy when mixed and it tastes so good; it would probably also be amazing blended with ice.
I don’t tend to eat until later in the day so this has the added benefit of making me feel less guilty for forgetting to eat.
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi militia, which has disrupted global shipping to display its support for Palestinians in the Gaza conflict, is now offering a place for students suspended from U.S. universities after staging anti-Israeli protests....
The US schools suspending/expelling peaceful protestors/occupiers are not creating the safe spaces they think they are, when it opens up opportunities like this (and makes them sound appealing).
I seriously hope no one tries to take them up on it because, if they weren’t antisemitic (specifically anti-Jewish), then the Houthis will definitely return them with a hate for Jews, since it’s one of their tenets.
