    How were the twins delivered? Hard to imagine squeezing two fused heads through vaginal birth, so for the sake of the mother I hope it was C-section. Before "modern medicine" mother and head-fused twins would like just all die during attempt at childbirth and you would not need "modern medicine" to surgically separate the twins later. "What monsters would separate two sisters?!" Oh, that's who ... ... the operation was arranged by a charity called Gemini Untwined, which specializes in treating and researching craniopagus twins — children born with fused skulls, intertwined brains, and shared blood vessels. The founder of the charity, British paediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Owase Jeelani, led the operation that successfully separated Minal and Mirha.

    @jon-nyc said in It's Morning in America: https://x.com/KAErdmann/status/1836468686565314711 Great! Let’s take a deeper dive. We know that much of the GDP growth recently has been driven by new jobs, right? We also know that the vast majority of new jobs over the past three years have gone to foreign born workers… Oh, I know WaPo and Politifact have both fact checked that claim by pretending the workers returning to their pre-existing jobs post-COVID are new jobs, but we can all be honest here. So the real improvement for most Americans by the great economic conditions has only been in their retirement accounts thanks to S&P gains. Except, those gains have been mitigated for many/most(?) as they have been pulling money from those accounts in alarming amounts to pay bills. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-more-americans-are-making-hardship-withdrawals-from-retirement-accounts So you can claim it’s a good morning, but most Americans aren’t feeling it. And now, as it turns out, a significant amount of the foreign born labor market has been little better than chattel slavery or indentured servitude. https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/375011/feds-and-state-ag-investigate-an-alleged-human-trafficking-empire-run-in-springfield-ohio/ Now this is only Springfield, but the story is the same in Charleroi, and countless other small communities. A real hard look is being taken at countless migrant staffing agencies in the US, and so far it’s looking bad. Very bad. It was a good morning in the 1840s, too, back when Cotton was King.

    He's changed the claim to infra-red lasers. God, I hope they're not space lasers.

    The sheriff allegedly walked into the judge's outer office, told court employees and others gathered there he needed to speak to Mullins alone. He and Mullins then entered the judge's inner office, closed the door and those outside heard gunshots, according to The Mountain Eagle. I'll reserve judgment until we get more information, but the only thing I can think of that would anger this sheriff so much during that very short conversation, is if the judge said something racist. If he did, then, I have to say - maybe he got what was coming to him. Racism is wrong.

    @Jolly said in Travel Friendly: Makes sense to me... NOt knowing football but liking to comment, I will add my two cents. 5555 Makes sense to me also. Travel is tiring. Dont teams change cities once in a while also when they get a new owner or something? Would seem to be best to keep those in the same league close to each other.

    A teacher friend told me that in the US, up to Grade 8, kids are pretty much guaranteed to pass their grade. After that, it becomes a bit more tough. She called it "social promotion"

    Interesting, but I can see why they were not used widely.
