FoxNews.com has NOTHING on the front page (above the fold) about the former President being credibly accused of and charged with obstruction of justice to evade prosecution for mishandling classified national defense information.
The lead story is about Bud Light.
And this (Fox) is the news site that Trump doesn't favor.

the virtue signaling about Mitch McConnell has begun.
Mitch McConnell helped kill my father, mother & brother because we never had enough money to take care of their medical issues.
McConnell normalized EUGENICS with his relentless attacks on health care rights.
anybody who says you do not have a right to live unless you have all the money in the world? that person wants you dead
thru legislation, McConnell killed my family. Nazis had a name for that: MURDER BY BUREAUCRACY

Pennsylvania Rethinks Funding for Child ID Kits After Investigation
==A bill that would require purchasing the kits is facing key opposition after ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found no evidence that they’d ever been used to find a missing child.

Hey scientists and other folks in STEM (including grad students)! If you're looking for a flexible and very rewarding outreach opportunity that doesn't take a lot of time, I highly recommend signing up to be a scientist penpal for a middle schooler:

A cynic, OTOH, might suggest that Google and Apple are turning privacy into recycling: a Hobson's Choice of false agency, externalised onto the user, who is then expected to shoulder the blame for abusive correlation post-collection, weeks or months after the fact.
Mastodon Feedslightlyoff@toot.cafe ("Alex Russell") wrote:
The most generous interpretation is that this is another baby step towards actually doing something about extremely pervasive native app tracking.
A realist might counter by noting that, at no point, has Apple seriously fought for real comprehensive privacy laws, and is instead trying to get everyone to focus on collection-time, which isn't even where the action is.

Apple gets a lot of credit for fire-and-motion tactics that don't actually improve privacy much.
Today's example: a feint at clamping down on fingerprinting.

- Wisconsin Republicans tried to shut down active duty military voting by Absentee Ballot. a State Court rejected them.
“two Wisconsin voters and state Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R) against the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) alleging that WEC must immediately sequester and stop counting absentee ballots completed by voters in the military. The lawsuit was filed after Milwaukee Elections Commissioner Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata illegally requested three military absentee ballots under fake names and sent them to Brandtjen; Zapata was later fired and charged with a felony for doing so.”

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
by Wendell BerryLove the quick profit, the annual raise,
vacation with pay. Want more
of everything ready-made. Be afraid
to know your neighbors and to die.
And you will have a window in your head.
Not even your future will be a mystery
any more. Your mind will be punched in a card
and shut away in a little drawer.
When they want you to buy something
they will call you. When they want you
to die for profit they will let you know.
So, friends, every day do something
that won’t compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it.
Denounce the government and embrace
the flag. Hope to live in that free
republic for which it stands.
Give your approval to all you cannot
understand. Praise ignorance, for what man
has not encountered he has not destroyed.
Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias.
Say that your main crop is the forest
that you did not plant,
that you will not live to harvest.
Say that the leaves are harvested
when they have rotted into the mold.
Call that profit. Prophesy such returns.
Put your faith in the two inches of humus
that will build under the trees
every thousand years.
Listen to carrion — put your ear
close, and hear the faint chattering
of the songs that are to come.
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.
So long as women do not go cheap
for power, please women more than men.
Ask yourself: Will this satisfy
a woman satisfied to bear a child?
Will this disturb the sleep
of a woman near to giving birth?
Go with your love to the fields.
Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head
in her lap. Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.
As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn’t go. Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection.https://cals.arizona.edu/~steidl/Liberation.htmlvia https://theconvivialsociety.substack.com/p/embrace-your-crookedness
