Supply chain snags are driving up the prices for fish and chips. As many as half of the U.K.’s “chippies” could shut down. HASTINGS, England — Ever since she was old enough to walk, Terrilea Coglan was climbing aboard fishing boats that set sail each morning from the rocky beachfront of Hastings to harvest the key ingredient in Britain’s most iconic dish: fish and chips. The day’s catch travels just a short way from the boats up to the seaside fish and chips shops, or “chippies,” that pride themselves as much in the freshness of the fish as in the...

Anti-Israel government employees planning a "walkout" to protest the Biden administration's military support for Israel had their plans foiled after a snow day shut down all federal offices in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. Anonymous protest organizers claimed that "hundreds" of employees from the White House and other agencies, including the State Department, the Defense Department, and the National Security Agency, were set to skip work to participate in a "Day of Mourning" for Gaza, Al-Monitor reported last week. But their protest was thwarted when D.C. was hit with over three inches of snow late Monday, leading the Office of Personnel...

China's youth came of age during a time of huge economic growth. But now, a sense of gloom is hanging around them as the country's economy plateaus. China's slower-than-usual economic growth has put pressure on the country's millennials and Generation Z. Reared by a generation of Chinese who made their wealth during nearly four uninterrupted decades of explosive economic growth, they face much lower expectations for economic dynamism and their own prospects going forward. "China's golden years, the two decades or so after our country's reform and opening-up policies, are over. There's nothing I can do about this. I can...

This is an excellent video that is over three hours long. I don't agree with him on everything based on my own experiences, but this interview is still excellent. Worth watching for anyone who has an interest in the subject.

This video is one of many in a series created from an interview conducted by Edward C. Ezell with Eugene Stoner in 1988 at ARES Inc. in Port Clinton, Ohio. All the footage is courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. All I have done is cut some of the waiting time between tapes out and tried to fix the audio. Otherwise, what you are seeing is entirely unadulterated. Feel free to ask any questions about the various topics of the video in the comments. I will do my best to answer them.

On Friday, District Judge Aileen Cannon issued a new order in the Donald Trump classified documents case adding to the mountain of evidence that she is firmly in the former president’s pocket. Trump appointed Cannon in 2020 and the Senate confirmed her appointment in the days after he lost the 2020 election. It’s deeply offensive to the rule of law for judges to bend the law to benefit those who put them on the bench. Sadly, Cannon does just that.

While Phoenix's pantless light-rail run dates back to 2009, the 2019 ride was canceled and the event took a three year hiatus thanks to the pandemic in 2020. Now four years later, it's making a comeback, but things are a little different.

The caller told the operator, "we're trying to remain a little subtle." ABC News has obtained a copy of the 911 call requesting an ambulance for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who was transported from his Virginia home to Walter Reed Hospital after suffering complications from a surgery to treat prostate cancer. In the call, placed on Jan. 1 and obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, a federal employee working for Austin asks the operator for the ambulance to be discreet. "Can I ask -- that the ambulance not show up with lights and sirens? We're trying to remain...

We don’t let medicinal chemists insist they can make designer opioids.We don’t let nuclear engineers tell us they get to play with plutonium in private labs.So why have we let virologists hijack the debate over whether they should be allowed to make risky viruses - especially respiratory viruses like the flu - even deadlier?Over four years after Sars-Cov-2 escaped from a Chinese laboratory and killed millions of people, we are hardly closer to restricting, much less banning, the insane research tricks known as “gain-of-function.” Effectively, this work makes viruses and bacteria more dangerous - either more transmissible, more virulent, or...

[Catholic Caucus] The Time of Magical ThinkingLast year's Synod on Synodality was a moment of Magical Thinking, bearing no resemblance to historic Christianity.Joan Didion’s 2005 bestseller, The Year of Magical Thinking, left her readers a bit shaken. The rending account of her husband’s death was cast in a demimonde of disturbing shadows. For quite a time it tossed her into a twilight existence of strange disconnections and fantasy expectations. Hence her tantalizing title. Her mourning bore no resemblance to reality, only a loose pastiche of semi-mad concoctions. Didion’s book came immediately to mind when reviewing the results of last October’s...

Hunter Biden was loaded in more ways than one in October 2018, federal prosecutors alleged Tuesday in a scathing response to the first son’s attempt to dismiss weapons charges against him. Five years after the now-53-year-old’s sister-in-law-turned-lover Hallie Biden dumped Hunter’s firearm in a trash can behind a grocery store in Delaware, FBI officials re-examined the pistol. snip Agents removed the sealed Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver from a state police vault to photograph the weapon sometime last year and found white powder on the pouch that held the weapon, a court filing from special counsel David Weiss revealed. “An FBI...

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a superseding indictment with additional charges against two Minnesota brothers who said they acted to protect dying protester Rosanne Boyland from police at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The Jan. 12 superseding indictment charges Aaron James, 37, of Lindstrom, Minnesota, with nine criminal counts, an increase of one charge from the initial indictment filed against him on Sept. 29, 2021. Prosecutors added one count of civil disorder, a felony that carries a maximum prison term of five years. The indictment alleges that Mr. James obstructed Capitol Police during a civil disorder...

The Houthis don’t seem to have been dissuaded from attacks on US targets thus far. In the last couple days they have launched attacks on a US commercial vessel and at a US Navy destroyer. Fortunately, the missile aimed at the destroyer was shot down. Today, the US hit another target inside Yemen as the Houthis were preparing another strike. The strikes on Tuesday were aimed at four missiles that were being prepared to be fired from their launchers and posed an imminent threat to merchant vessels and Navy ships, the command said in a statement…Residents in the area said...

The number of rental units in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, has doubled, and prices fell by 20 percent following President Javier Milei's historic decree deregulating Argentina's economy. “In December, after Milei's announcement, that number doubled. Today, we have a stock of more than 800 apartments, and it grows every day,” said Alejandro Bennazar, director of Institutional Relations at the CIA.The newspaper's report details that the greater supply of units, together with the possibility of freely negotiating a contract between the parties, which was impossible with the previous regulation, had a direct impact on the drop in prices.“If the update...
