Americans are increasingly critical of Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration, with a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finding negative reactions to some cuts made by his U.S. DOGE Service and skeptical that the government is cutting waste and fraud.

The poll finds 35% of Americans approve of the way Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration, while 57% disapprove. Negative ratings of Musk are up from 49% in February, while his approval has shifted little from 34% two months ago. He remains less popular than Donald Trump, who has a 39% approval rating and a 55% disapproval rating.

Two members of Elon Musk's DOGE have been given accounts on classified networks that hold highly guarded details about America's nuclear weapons, two independent sources tell NPR.

Luke Farritor, a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, and Adam Ramada, a Miami-based venture capitalist, have had accounts on the computer systems for at least two weeks, according to the sources who also have access to the networks.

Prior to their work at DOGE, neither Farritor nor Ramada appear to have had experience with either nuclear weapons or handling classified information.

On March 22nd, this journalist detailed the findings of a UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on “Israel’s systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since 7 October 2023.” That investigation focused primarily on the hideous, industrial scale rape and sexual abuse of male and female Palestinian detainees in Zionist Occupation Force prisons, a phenomenon so pervasive it can only be dedicated, determined policy, signed off upon and directed by the highest levels of the Israeli government.

Reinforcing that horrifying conclusion, buried within the Commission’s report are bombshell passages unequivocally charging the Zionist entity with deliberately committing “genocidal acts” in Gaza, consciously and intentionally “calculated to bring about the physical destruction of Palestinians as a group.” The details provided are irresistibly persuasive, and point to Israel being in flagrant breach of both the Rome Statute, and Genocide Convention. In a truly just world, the mainstream media’s mass omertà on this landmark ruling would in itself be a criminal act.

“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.

“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.

“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”

“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”

“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.

The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.

Good news,
the cause was identified by the Portugal Grid Operator and it wasn't sabotage (see Update in the article)

Due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 kV), a phenomenon known as induced atmospheric vibration. These oscillations caused synchronisation failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network.

Except Polievre doesn't have the warmth or compassion of a terminator.

Could I make a little gun and just walk around through the parking lot and aisles of the supermarket and freeze all the carts in place?

I waited for deeper into the episode and cut the closed captioning in hopes of increasing the difficulty.

The other horses were being ridden in lessons and Sandy was following the verbal cues the students were giving the other horses.

She isn't gaining weight as fast as I'd like, but her mane is getting so thick and soft, so her supplements are doing something. If she doesn't start gaining weight soon, I will probably put her on an additional senior supplement.

I am in contact with her owner without anyone playing messenge for us now, so care and stuff will be much easier to coordinate. I found out Sandy is 26, not 30. I was also told that I can ride her any time as long as she's in the condition for it. She's not close to being in riding shape and never may be in riding shape, but that doesn't matter to me. I don't need to ride her. I just want her to be happy and healthy and have the best old age she can.

My lovely cat is a senior citizen. She doesn't really like to play with her toys or chase things as much these days (she's on anti-seizure meds that make her a little unsteady which I think have made her play less enjoyable for her) so she spends a lot of her time looking out/sleeping in front of windows. But, whenever she realizes I'm about to nap, she gets super excited, jumps on the bed, yowls until everything is juuuuuuuust right (her soft blanket on top of mine but perfectly flat etc) but once we're both lying down, she starts purring the with the fury of a thousand rusty chainsaws, regardless of whether she's getting skritched. More so if she can get one of my arms working as a pillow.

So, even while her former favourite activities are falling off, we're both finding weird moments of happy while I try to avoid thinking about the inevitable. And there's something just so wonderful about hearing how aggressively happy she is just to hang out nearby for an extended period of time.

Don't really have a point but we woke up from a nap and I wanted to share.

I could practically feel the warm summer evening air on my skin when I took this shot- the sense of realism you get from the nature in this game is something else. Thank you crunching Rockstar devs who never got to see your children for your sacrifice

Also this shit came out on the PS4, further proof that we didn't need this newest console generation or these past few batches of overpriced GPUs that catch on fire and need additional support inside the case because they draw so much power and have bloated to such monstrous sizes

It's silly to use the geographical map of Canada to show election results. Land doesn't vote, people do.
