Saying they saw no reason to limit any potential agricultural use of the flammable combination of gelling agents and gasoline, officials at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved napalm as a pesticide Friday. “Following a thorough review, the EPA has found that napalm, with its ability to burn at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, is highly effective for both weed management and pest control,” said Administrator Lee Zeldin, who sought to assure the public that the highly incendiary liquid, which removes unwanted insects, fungus, rodents, raccoons, and deer with the press of a flamethrower trigger, posed no threat to human health whatsoever.

It's Fossil Friday! Behold the dazzling colors of an iridescent ammonite (Placenticeras intercalare). A relative of today’s squids, this ammonite lived some 80 million years ago near what is now Alberta, Canada. This fossil’s spectacular coloration is the result of millions of years of high temperatures and pressures. As these forces acted on nacre in this ammonite’s shell, it was transformed into a gemstone known as an ammolite. Along with amber and pearl, ammolite is one of only a handful of gems made by living organisms. You can spot this rare specimen in the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Collections Core in the Museum’s Gilder Center.

Trump is pushing to have Congress ‘expunge’ his impeachments

The president said Congress should pass the resolution to scrub his first-term impeachments, claiming he did ‘nothing wrong’

Rhian Lubin in New York Friday 12 June 2026 14:58 BST

Trump was impeached twice by the Democratic-led House of Representatives; first in 2019 over allegations of abusing the power of his office by attempting to extort a political favor from Ukraine, and again in January 2021 with charges of “incitement of insurrection” following the January 6 Capitol riots. The Senate acquitted him in both cases, which left him in office.

The president’s latest move to void the impeachments from the record follows his recent attempts to reverse the outcomes of multiple legal cases that ruled against him.

FUCK RIGHT OFF.

If this happens, the whole world will laugh at the US. Not that they're not laughing already, but why exacerbate the nightmare?

And it’s not only from an active choice to take your life, it’s also people who couldn’t afford treatment for a medical problem and chose to keep quiet how poorly they were doing until they died. They chose to suffer and quietly die rather than inconvenience their families with staggering medical costs.

What a fucking clown.

[republicandoorknob]

What an absolute failure of a human being.

Equating the missions to the Moon and the science/technology aspirations that benefitted the world to building a wrestling ring on the front lawn for a rapist's birthday party is comically pathetic yet is sold as a great achievement to MAGA fools.

I kind of miss the impulsivity that certain spaces used to allow. oh you want a hair cut today? hairdresser in the corner can fit you in before her 2 o’clock. tattoo of a cobra… sure leg or arm? even concerts, back when you could go to the box office thirty mins before any show. not saying these things don’t exist at all, but everything feels booked five months in advance and 10x more expensive

Hi.

Sidechaining is awful. Please don’t do this.
