I know it's easy to be cynical about such statements, but I was at least a little encouraged by this:
Most rational people don't like nazis and their ilk.
Unfortunately many people are not rational.
Though many people who would denounce nazis, would love to enact most of their policies (usually, but not always, drawing a line at gas chambers and other forms of mass executions).
A guinea pig rescue center in Portland, Oregan asked Janelle Shane — a super-smart electrical engineer with a PHD from UC San Diego — to design a neural network that could name its adorable little balls of floof. She didn’t disappoint.
. . .
Shane created her model by feeding the neural network a sample of example guinea pig names — like Snickers, Pumpkin, Ginger, and Rascal. This list came from every guinea pig the center had ever rescued, as well as the names of their own pet guinea pigs, and every guinea pig they could find online.
The neural network took it from there, and generated dozens of other amazing names, including Gooper, Fuzzable, and Hanger Dan
New Hampshire Republicans tried to reassure critics by including exemptions designed to protect from prosecution doctors and women seeking abortions. The bill’s original language stated that “any act committed by the pregnant woman” or a doctor acting in his professional capacity wouldn’t apply in cases of second-degree murder, manslaughter, or negligent homicide. Unfortunately, “any act” implied, well, any act. The bill “allows a pregnant woman to commit homicide without consequences,” Republican representative J.R. Hoell told the Concord Monitor. “Although that was never the intent, that is the clear reading of the language.” *blooper sound effect*
Wait, so what was the point of the bill in their mind?
To stop the growing practice of bills making abortion and usually miscarriage treated as manslaughter. But since that requires a state law to support, and such a law would preempt an older law it contradicts thn really the point is nothing.
Good news gone better, #bearcam is back! You know all the pictures of bears atop a waterfall (Brooks Falls) waiting for salmon? It's a live webcam of that.
Salmon runs haven't started yet in full, so the bears aren't out in force ... yet.
I really want to visit Alaska someday... that would be super cool.

So, basically the plot of the movie Prevenge* is legal in New Hampshire, then?
But earlier this week in The Villages, there was news of another kind: A drug bust, followed by the discovery of a possible golf cart chop shop. Sumter County sheriff’s deputies and a SWAT team raided one Villager’s house Wednesday morning, after complaints from residents; there, they arrested five people on drug charges—including sale of methamphetamine and possession of heroin. One man was charged with the real-sounding crime of “unlawful use of a two way communication device.”
But chief deputy sheriff Gary Brannan told reporters police also found what they believe to be a golf cart chop shop, after multiple golf cart parts were found in the home.
This is not the first time police have been involved in golf cart thievery at The Villages. Just last month, police made three arrests stemming from a golf cart theft ring in and around the retirement community. Police said one of the men arrested in that undercover bust told them he steals about 30 golf carts a month. That’s one a day! Where do you even find the time to steal that many golf carts?
A Spanish court has ordered the remains of Salvador Dalí to be exhumed from his grandiose self-designed last resting place in an attempt to extract DNA for a paternity claim from a woman born in 1956.
Pilar Abel, a tarot card reader and fortune teller from Girona, a city close to Figueres in north-east Spain where both she and the artist were born, has been trying for 10 years to prove that she is his only child and, therefore, under Spanish law, heir to a quarter of his fortune. Abel claims she was conceived during a secret liaison in 1955 and that her mother, Antonia, told her on several occasions that Dalí was her father. She has said the physical resemblance is so close “the only thing I’m missing is a moustache”.
A court in Madrid said Dalí’s body should be exhumed after previous attempts to establish the truth of her claim failed. “The DNA study of the painter’s corpse is necessary due to the lack of other biological or personal remains with which to perform the comparative study,” the ruling said.
Abel’s lawyer said no date had yet been set for the exhumation, but “it could take place as soon as July”.

I would laugh my fucking ass off if they got Maury Povich to read the results.

I mean the poor woman should get the money for just looking like Dali. Thats not a desirable face
Have you seen the pictures in the article linked? She looks exactly nothing like Dali. I have a better claim at being Dali's heir than she does based on looks.
"Negative connotations?" Sorry guys, turns out our name is too fucking rad for us, wouldn't want to be associated with being fucking awesome. Keep the name and hire a halfway competent advertising firm and every kid in the land would be learning Taekwondo right now.
Update: The Local: Berlin Police Party
While most cities would have been kinda embarassed by having 200 of its finest sent home after excessive partying the Berlin Club Commission issued this statement in only slightly sarcastic support.
"Barely 10 days before the meeting of the world's political elites, Berlin's operation team has fulfilled its function as role models and organised a great party - traditionally costumed in uniforms, with music and excessive live performances,"
"The western world sips from a poisonous cocktail: Polarisation, populism, protectionism and post-truth"

A prowling pachyderm was spotted ambling through a Baraboo neighborhood Friday morning.
The elephant had escaped from Circus World before exploring a residential area off Rivercrest Drive near the museum grounds. Jaime Lynn, who lives in the neighborhood, said the animal was munching on leaves from her neighbor's trees and plants.
"She was just having some breakfast, I guess," Lynn said.

Ah yes, Meconium brand, eh?
Good news gone bad. Yellowstone grizzlies are recovering (good!), but US Interior is considering de-listing them as endangered. Which would allow, among other things, hunting outside the park (bad!).

I don't know. They'd mostly be offing adults--even in New Hampshire, not everyone reaches adulthood (plus, you know, people move).
Unless you get more twins in New Hampshire than in other states...
