Comment on A Mystery Solved in the College Admissions Scandal: The Family Who Paid $1.2 Million

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who penned the book 'No Going Back' that detailed her murdering a puppy, horses, and at least one goat, has apparently decided to delete her official social media accounts on Xittet, Instagram, and Facebook after a furious bipartisan backlash. As it happens, America loves puppies. Her lack of empathy might have made her ripe for a vice presidential role with the felon, but she was buried for the murder of Cricket, her puppy, and the lies in her book was challenging to keep up with. Lies, lies, and more lies.

Stormy Daniels' donation page on GoFundMe donation page shows an overwhelming amount of support, bringing in nearly one million dollars to help her move to another location after threats poured in from unhinged Trump supporters. The donations will also assist her with legal fees after testifying in the criminal trial that led to Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felonies. The Guardian reports: The money comes from an online GoFundMe campaign started by a friend and former manager of the adult film actor, who recently appeared on MSNBC and described how supporters of Trump have bombarded her with social media harassment as he seeks a second presidency, including threats to rape and murder her daughter and other family. "It's become unsafe for her family and her pets," the fundraiser's organizer, Dwayne Crawford, wrote on the page for the campaign, which set a goal of $1m.

A viral video on Telegram a couple of weeks ago of a Russian soldier coldly dispatching a fellow soldier after he'd been hit by a drone has proven to be a problem that just won't go away. Although unconcerned with their soldiers' morale at the front, such videos pose a problem for recruitment so the powers that be thought it necessary to lie about the event and claim it was Ukrainian soldiers instead. Small problems with that claim include: they were wearing Russian uniforms with Russian insignia, the FPV video and the FPV drone that exploded were Ukrainian-made, and the geolocation of the event was behind the frontline on the Russian side near Robotyne.

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, shared an encouraging message to Andy Murray after his Wimbledon career came to an anticlimactic end. “An incredible Wimbledon career comes to an end,” Middleton said, via a post shared on Instagram stories on Saturday. “You should be very proud @andymurray.

The crew of a NASA mission to Mars emerged from their craft after a yearlong voyage that never left Earth. The four volunteer crew members spent more than 12 months inside NASA’s first simulated Mars environment at Johnson Space Center in Houston, coming out of the artificial alien enviroment Saturday around 5 p.m. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Kelly Haston, Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell and Nathan Jones entered the 3D-printed habitat on June 25, 2023, as the maiden crew of the space agency’s Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog project. Haston, the mission commander, began with a simple, “Hello.” “It’s actually just so wonderful to be able to say ‘hello’ to you all,” she said. Jones, a physician and the mission medical officer, said their 378 days in confinement “went by quickly.” The quartet lived and worked inside the space of 17,000 square feet (1,579 square meters) to simulate a mission to the red planet, the fourth from the sun and a frequent focus of discussion among scientists and sci-fi fans alike concerning a possible voyage taking humans beyond our moon. The first CHAPEA crew focused on establishing possible conditions for future Mars operations through simulated spacewalks, dubbed “Marswalks,” as well as growing and harvesting vegetables to supplement their provisions and maintaining the habitat and their equipment. They also worked through challenges a real Mars crew would be expected to experience including limited resources, isolation and delays in communication of up to 22 minutes with their home planet on the other side of the habitat’s walls, NASA said. Two additional CHAPEA missions are planned and crews will continue conducting simulated spacewalks and gathering data on factors related to physical and behavioral health and performance, NASA said. Steve Koerner, deputy director of Johnson Space Center, said most of the first crew’s experimentation focused on nutrition and how that affected their performance.
