@arstechnica I could see a different administration changing that law because it would "save money" by not needing people to sit there waiting to turn the key. And then they'd take that money and somehow put it into their personal funds and say it's a "donation" or "gift" for "services rendered", and then try to build a new hotel with it in Moscow by bribing Putin and cozying up to him.
But hey, maybe that's just me.

My mom texts me that Tucker Carlson was fired b/c pharmaceutical companies pressured Fox to get rid of him b/c he was telling the truth about how vaccines kill people.
...
She is an intelligent, educated woman who has seen and accomplished much in her life
And 20 years of watching nothing but Fox News has turned her into a MAGA conspiracy theorists.
THIS is why I hate Fox News and MAGA... it's personal.
B/c it was not enough to silence her voice on the House floor, #Montana Republicans have banished Rep. #ZooeyZephyr from the state legislature for the rest of the session. She will not be permitted to represent her 11,000 constituents who elected her to speak for them. GOP lawmakers misgendered Zephyr & accused her of violating decorum by opposing their anti-trans bills & saying they would have “blood on their hands”. Protesters who supported her were arrested. This is what #fascism looks like.
Hermitage Castle, in a remote corner of the Scottish Borders south of Hawick. This is a castle with a truly forbidding reputation and atmosphere, and in our picture is oddly reminiscent of the figure in Edvard Munch's "The Scream".

Jake Broe has another great video about the situation in Ukraine.

In case you don't know, Jake is a really great supporter of Ukraine who has updates every two days or so. He always gives a calm and realistic analysis and synopsis of the situation overall. If you can, go and sub to his channel for his amazing support and videos with tons of great insight. He also highlights videos from Ukraine from the soldiers and troops as well at the end of each video.
I've been following him regularly since a long while.
Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.
