North Carolina Republican candidate for Governor Mark Robinson claimed posts that appear to be his are not. However, Robinson declined the help of information technology specialists to prove his innocence. At the same time, Robinson threatens to sue CNN for sharing the...

A group of researchers at the Seoul National University of Science and Technology have presented a proof-of-concept for the first flying shopping cart. It's just a platform or wire basket mounted on drones to help you transport your groceries or other items; this is The...
Donald Trump's DJT stock share price is sliding even faster than Trump's standing in the polls: every week it continues to plummet, dropping another 6% this morning after dropping 7% on Friday. Sinking to $12.73 per share this morning, the ex-president's anemic stock hit...
A study found it is safer to let cyclists determine when it is safe to roll through a stop rather than requiring them to stop. It also helps to tell motorists when the law permits it. No one wants to be hit by a car, and bicycling on busy city streets inspires situational...
John Dog's Twitter Must Die suggests a grim, Catoesque grumble. But while it certainly makes its point, it's a jaunty, whimiscal, literate track that reminds me of songs by The Kinks, Elvis Costello, and, dare I say it, The Smiths. Imagine if Morrissey was really Irish and...
Kamala Harris 'plans to improve health, boost the economy and mitigate climate change,' write the editors of Scientific American, whereas her opponent 'rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical conspiracy fantasies.' The magazine is endorsing Harris for president in...

If he doesn't win this time, he won't be running in 2028. The usual Tasting Notes apply: he's rambling, he's caviling, he's hoping that he won't need to because he'll either be president or can be installed as such without the democratic process. — Read the rest The post...
Rayne Beau, a cat belonging to Benny and Susanne Anguiano, disappeared into the woods during a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. They searched for days before giving up and returning to Salinas, California. Two months later, they got a call from animal...
