US Supreme Court temporarily blocks order to return migrant deported to El Salvador in error April 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily halted on Monday a judge's order requiring President Donald Trump's administration to return by the end of the day a Salvadoran man who the government has acknowledged was deported in error to El Salvador. Chief Justice John Roberts, acting on behalf of the court, paused the order by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis that the administration return Kilmar Abrego Garcia by the end of Monday, in response to a lawsuit filed by the man and his family challenging the legality of his deportation. more at https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-facing-monday-deadline-return-wrongly-deported-maryland-man-el-salvador-2025-04-07/

make room in those treetops, cheetah. i suspect you'll have neighbors soon.

this just makes me think of that line from jurassic park "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Dire wolves, made famous by “Game of Thrones,” went extinct some 13,000 years ago. Now, researchers have bred gray-wolf pups that carry genes of their ancient cousins. For more than a decade, scientists have chased the idea of reviving extinct species, a process sometimes called de-extinction. Now, a company called Colossal Biosciences appears to have done it, or something close, with the dire wolf, a giant, extinct species made famous by the television series “Game of Thrones.” In 2021, a separate team of scientists managed to retrieve DNA from the fossils of dire wolves, which went extinct about 13,000 years ago. With the discovery of additional DNA, the Colossal researchers have now edited 20 genes of gray wolves to imbue the animals with key features of dire wolves. They then created embryos from the edited gray-wolf cells, implanted them in surrogate dog mothers and waited for them to give birth. The result is three healthy wolves — two males that are 6 months old and one female that is 2 months old, named Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi — that have some traits of dire wolves. more at https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/science/colossal-dire-wolf-deextinction.html

as one of those older people, i can see why some would be angry. but then again, investing is risky. i didn't start a 401k until just over a year ago, and i'm not counting on it for any part of my retirement. stock markets go up and down and it will go back up, unless we have a major disaster/war somewhere.

what i referenced earlier - not a go fund me page, but one called givesendgo and the screenshot is about 4 minutes old as of this post.

i'm seeing outrage on facebook about the perpetrator (karmelo anthony) having a go fund me account.......... and a "justice for karmelo anthony" group has already appeared

now you sound like a housecat.

in monkey terms, whoever flings poo the furthest.

an interesting video to watch.

and nightly poo flinging contests.

they should try rock paper scissors and the loser gets you.

the only permanent residency our resident chimp offers is in the treetops...........

morgan freeman isn't british........

A Texas high school star athlete was stabbed in the heart and left to die in his loving twin brother’s arms following a fight over a seat at a track meet, the boy’s heartbroken father said. Metcalf, a junior at Frisco ISD’s Memorial High School, was in the stands at the stadium when a confrontation broke out between the teen and 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony. Anthony, a senior at Centennial High School, was allegedly told he was sitting in the wrong seat before he drew a knife and launched his attack, Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. Anthony, 17, allegedly stabbed Metcalf in the chest as his victim’s brother, Hunter, watched in horror. more at https://nypost.com/2025/04/03/us-news/texas-teen-austin-metcalf-fatally-stabbed-by-karmelo-anthony-at-high-school-track-meet/

it seems neonred needs help

or he fell out of the tree..........

the early chimp gets the poo flung at him, so the saying goes............

duplicate topics merged. do not create multiple threads on the same or related subjects.

this is highly recommended

i fixed that for you

this is starting to sound like another episode of "fleece the taxpayers"

thread almost 3 years old locked to further replies. should one have questions, start a new thread.

"...some risk that gap could grow" - from the same clowns that sold everyone a lower number earlier for the entire project........... this is an excellent illustration of: "The sunk cost fallacy" is a cognitive bias where people continue investing resources (time, money, effort) in a failing endeavor, even when the best course of action is to stop, because of the resources already invested
