@grumpygamer Did you have a car while there? Lived there for six years and I have many memories (and stories) of spiders infesting ours. Huntsman parked on the top of the back seat was my favorite.

Cities can now achieve “what was once thought impossible”: cutting air pollution by 20–45% in little more than a decade. A new analysis has found that 19 cities, including London, San Francisco and Beijing, cut levels of both PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by more than 20% since 2010, driven by measures such as cycle lanes, electric vehicles and restrictions on polluting traffic.

You know how in every movie set during WWII there’s a scene where Nazis are checking papers on the trains? That is the USA as of today

ICE seen at Atlanta airport amid partial shutdown

Armed federal immigration officers in tactical gear moved through terminals at some of the busiest U.S. airports Monday, standing near security lines and checkpoints after President Donald Trump ordered their deployment during a partial government shutdown that has disrupted air travel nationwide. The officers have not screened passengers so far. The Trump administration said they would supplement Transportation Security Administration staffing at certain airports but provided few details about exactly what they would be doing. After intensified immigration enforcement and protests in cities across the country over the past year, their presence has unsettled some travelers and raised new questions.

It’s simply beautiful to see. ICE agents, whose misbehavior is the direct cause of TSA agents not being paid, will be standing with TSA agents. Wonder if those ICE agents will be mentioning how much they are enjoying still receiving their paychecks.
