That's one way to beat the heat. A spiritual leader brought his own air-con units while visiting an ashram in Haryana amid a heatwave in India. #India #heatwave #StraitsTimes

("While much of the world’s attention in recent years has focused on Gaza and Ukraine, the Sudan civil war has killed well over 150,000 people — and that count is more than a year old. Some estimate the death toll is more than triple that number")







Yeah, I know. I know. Print is dead. This is still a thrill for me.

The initial U.S. launch for drone deliveries launched in Lockeford, California, but ended in early 2024. Currently, Texas and Arizona offer drone delivery services for eligible customers, covering more than 50,000 items. Some consumers have raised concerns that products could be damaged during delivery. However, Amazon has addressed this by controlling drop heights, using protective packaging, and limiting the service to lightweight, durable items (under 5 lbs). 🎥 Credit: @swat957

(“Stephen Colbert’s return to Monroe in the ‘Only in Monroe’ episode was financed and produced by CBS Studios and was posted on Stephen Colbert’s YouTube...Colbert launched his new YouTube channel a day ago, and so far he has just one video up: His May 22 hosting gig on “Only in Monroe,” the public access show from Monroe Community Media. Here’s the rub: Others on YouTube beat him to the punch with their own uploads, including a site called “The Desk,” which has 620,621 views of Colbert’s “Only in Monroe” stint. In comparison, Colbert’s YouTube page has around 392,486 views of the same video.")

(“It makes no sense to me at all,” said Florida coach Tim Walton when asked about the drama of the series. “I have no idea where that came from. I don’t think that’s fair to the kids in both dugouts. I have no idea where that pot was being stirred...Yet the storyline quickly drew national attention after Williams was hit by the first pitch in the Super Regional opener on Friday. Even after Walton denied allegations of Williams being hit, the second baseman was again hit on the first pitch of the game on Sunday.")

@ghostlyarchive Sign outside of Portland’s Lone Fir Cemetery The full sign reads: WIPE YOUR FEET! Are you giving ghosts a free ride? When you walk over their graves, the ghosts who reside there can cling to your shoes, then come off later and haunt where they are unwanted. Help protect this fragile boundary between the land of the living and the spirits of the dead - don't accidentally introduce invasive ghosts. PLEASE USE GHOST BRUSH BEFORE LEAVING THE CEMETERY @Lone Fir Cemetery #lonefircemetary #cemeteryexploring #cemetery #ghosttok ♬ original sound - Rosie Grant
