Virtually All Countries Support Voter Photo ID – So Why the Filibuster?
Yet despite massive support among both Democrats (71%) and Republicans (95%), only one Democratic member of the House and one in the Senate are supporting the SAVE Act.
The optimistic interpretation is that 7 out of 10 Democrats are not comfortable cheating to win elections. Unfortunately, only one Democratic congressman is not comfortable with election fraud.
‘Historic first’: Massive US military jet airlifts nuclear microreactor to Utah
The US Departments of Energy and Defense transported a small nuclear reactor, or microreactor, via cargo plane for the very first time on Sunday.
This is crazy. During the Biden presidency, a chunk of the entire populations of third-world countries moved to the United States.
I’m about half-way through the first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. So far, I really like it. The series is based on other books by George R. R. Martin, and is in The Game of Thrones universe, about a century before that series.
Although it takes place in the same world, this series is not as cruel and complex as The Game of Thrones. Some places and family names are shared with GoT, but A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms doesn’t require prior knowledge to enjoy.
This missing person case is being covered like the Lindbergh baby. Nancy Guthrie is the mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, but that doesn’t seem like it would be enough for this case to dominate the news.
Maybe it’s just because true crime is a popular genre and this case is mysterious and engaging. It probably won’t have any long-term ramifications, so isn’t interesting to me. It almost seems like a distraction from the Epstein files, or whatever else is going on.
JAMA: Coffee and Tea Intake, Dementia Risk, and Cognitive Function
Findings In this prospective cohort study of 131 821 individuals from 2 cohorts with up to 43 years of follow-up, 11 033 dementia cases were documented. Higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower risk of dementia. Decaffeinated coffee intake was not significantly associated with dementia risk.
Drinking 2 or 3 cups of coffee resulted in half as many people getting dementia. You can read the entire study, or stop being a pussy and have a cuppa joe.
YouGov: Words that men or women are more likely to know
YouGov asked a bunch of Americans which words they knew. Some words were recognized much more frequently by men, and some by women.
Here are the words that men knew more:

Here are the words that women knew more:
bandeau, boucle, chambray, chenille, chignon, damask, doula, espadrille, freesia, jacquard, kohl, peplum, pessary, ruche, sateen, taffeta, tulle, verbena, voile and whipstich.
YouGov did not ask the surveyed people to define or explain the words.
Turns out Sparky really likes yelling at Rusty. Since Rusty doesn’t pay attention, he will get to yell at him again.
