  • But hey, at least they’ll still be to the left of the GOP, right?

    Correct. They will be to the left of the outright fascists. And it's that or the fascists. By voting for anyone else, you choose the fascists. Sorry, that's reality.

  • Four US daycare workers charged with spiking children’s food with melatonin
  • Sorry... why would daycare workers need parents' permission to add melatonin to a child's food? Are you serious?

    Harmful has nothing to do with it. You don't seem to understand about what daycare workers have the legal right to do.

    I sincerely hope you do not work around children.

  • Four US daycare workers charged with spiking children’s food with melatonin
  • Yes... they were arrested for giving it to children without their parents' permission.

    It is legal for a parent to give their child melatonin. Are you really not aware of that?

    I mean read the damn article-

    “The children’s food was being sprinkled with melatonin without their parent’s knowledge or consent,” police said they had determined after the investigation.

  • The Vatican declares that it can no longer confirm the supernatural... but you can worship it anyway.
  • It is in the sense that they're not actively promoting the supernatural, but this wishy-washy approach where they say you can still believe in it if you want to and there's nothing wrong with venerating supernatural things we can't confirm to be real is not as helpful as it could be.

    apnews.com Vatican moves to adapt to hoaxes, Internet and overhauls its process for evaluating visions of Mary

    The Vatican has radically reformed its process for evaluating alleged visions of the Virgin Mary, weeping statues and other seemingly supernatural phenomena.

    Vatican moves to adapt to hoaxes, Internet and overhauls its process for evaluating visions of Mary

    > The new norms reframe the Catholic Church’s evaluation process by essentially taking off the table whether church authorities will declare a particular vision, stigmata or other seemingly divinely inspired event supernatural. > >Instead, the new criteria envisages six main outcomes, with the most favorable being that the church issues a noncommittal doctrinal green light, a so-called “nihil obstat.” Such a declaration means there is nothing about the event that is contrary to the faith, and therefore Catholics can express devotion to it.

    ...

    > The norms also allow that an event might at some point be declared “supernatural,” and that the pope can intervene in the process. But “as a rule,” the church is no longer in the business of authenticating inexplicable events or making definitive decisions about their supernatural origin.

  • Even if it had no longer-term health effects on a child's developing body (and I'm not convinced of that at all), it just seems like a bad plan considering kids already eat too much, get paranoid and make bad decisions.

    The Irish Lion in Bloomington has closed down after over 40 years.

    Article is a little old, but they posted this today:

    !

    No more blarney puffballs and lamb coddle.

    Their mahogany bar is one of only three built by the Brunswick company that exist in America.

    I hope whatever takes over the building remains a pub and keeps the tradition alive. It's been a pub for so long that it was one of the photos showing old bars in the intro to Cheers.

    DID YOU KNOW THIS FACT

    In case you need a fact-check:

    !

    And, while it is true that the two pyramids have similar dimensions (at the bottom), the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan does not have a square base, it has a rectangular base.

    The Great Pyramid in Giza is also twice as high as the Pyramid of the Sun.
