Google has slowly changed how it displays driving directions to limit routes to ones it thinks burn less fuel. When plugging in the drive to get to my parents it presents one option that uses a ferry. The directions treat the ferry like a bridge that you could use at any time, and it no longer presents alternate routes that use actual roads.
The ferry runs twice a day.

Trump repeating the lie that the Ukraine war is NATO's fault illustrates how Trump is clearly supporting Putin. Unbelievable if you think about the very likely scenario that he will be elected as the next president. It will be Putin's ultimate victory.

I’d like to see the NYT maybe dig a bit more to answer a key question: billionaires are giving to Trump and the RNC, but how much of that money goes to the campaign and how much is being siphoned off to pay Trump’s legal bills, debts, keep Truth Social afloat, and just straight up line the Trump family’s pockets?
It’s possible that this money is tracked diligently and completely above-board according to federal campaign laws and donor expectations.
It’s *possible* https://press.coop/@nytimes/112654737815431650

It’s disorienting and ominous, from this perspective to hear so many people “condemning the ten commandments” (of course that isn’t what’s happening— this is about religious liberty) but that isn’t how it’s being played. If you don’t want to hang the commandments in every classroom you must be against the values they represent. It’s all very 1990s— thing is those little towns have changed.
The churches have been replaced with prosperity gospel franchise operations. Mega churches.
