Zohran Mamdani is already revealing his true agenda of dividing “New Yorkers into two groups: the oppressed and their oppressors,” The Washington Post editorial board declared in a Saturday editorial. The newly-elected New York City mayor’s victory speech on Tuesday made it clear that his “view of politics isn’t about unity” or “[increasing] wealth” but rather about handing wealth “out to favored groups,” the editorial board said. The article describes Mamdani’s new “favorite word” as being “‘mandate’” because he will need “approval from the state to raise taxes” in order to achieve his agenda of “rent freezes,” “‘free’ child care and buses,” et cetera. “His [Mamdani’s] transition team includes several New York political insiders who understand how to pull the levers of power, as well as diehard ideologues such as Lina Khan, the former Federal Trade Commission chair,” the editorial board explained. Additionally, the Washington Post highlighted that “Mamdani has done nothing to suggest” he will back school children over “union bosses” when there’s a conflict of interest.  Mamdani has even stated that “he wants to phase out gifted-and-talented programs for elementary students,” the editorial board writes.  CNN commentator Van Jones also called Mamdani out for his “character switch.”  “I think the Mamdani that we saw on the campaign trail—who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing—was not present in that [victory] speech,” Jones said election night. “And I think that Mamdani is the one you need to hear from tonight.” Many people are trying to discern whether Mamdani will actually include them in his efforts as mayor now, Jones said, adding that he thinks Mamdani “missed a chance” to welcome more people “into the tent.” “I think his tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling,” Jones explained. “I feel like it was a little bit of a character switch here where the warm, open, embracing guy who’s close to working people was not on stage tonight, and there was some other voice on stage.” While Mamdani touted many “free” things in his agenda on the campaign trail, his victory party for his supporters and volunteers at the Brooklyn Paramount actually consisted of a very pricey cash bar, noted Politico Reporter Jeff Coltin.  Beers were $13, espresso martini coolers cost $22, and glasses of Riesling white wine were $15, Coltin reported. Social media was quick to point out Mamdani’s messaging didn’t match his reality. Said one user on X quoted by Conservative Brief, “Nothing says ‘for the people’ like charging $22 for a cocktail.” The post ‘Free’ Promises, Pricey Drinks: Mamdani Faces Backlash After Victory Speech appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Every year, thousands of dogs suffer injuries from unsafe toys, with choking incidents accounting for 15% of emergency vet visits according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. At DogingtonPost, we know that dog toy safety goes beyond just picking something colorful off the shelf. The wrong toy can contain toxic chemicals, break into dangerous pieces, or pose serious choking risks for your furry friend. What Makes Dog Toys Dangerous The squeaker inside that cute plush toy poses the biggest threat to your dog’s safety. Pet Emergency Treatment Services reports that squeaker consumption accounts for 23% of toy-related surgeries, with retrieval costs averaging $3,500 per incident. Small plastic eyes, buttons, and ribbons create equally dangerous scenarios when dogs tear them off during play. Hidden Risks in Common Toys Tennis balls present a threat that most owners overlook. The abrasive felt covering wears down your dog’s teeth with excessive chewing, while the rubber becomes a choking hazard once punctured. Rope toys unravel into long strands that wrap around intestines, creating life-threatening blockages. Rawhide chews swell in your dog’s stomach and can cause fatal obstructions (especially large pieces that dogs gulp down whole). Toxic Chemicals in Popular Products Phthalates found in soft vinyl toys disrupt your dog’s endocrine system, causing hormonal imbalances that affect reproduction and development. Pet cats and dogs have been noted to suffer harmful health effects from chemical pollution in the environment, often earlier than humans. Lead and cadmium contamination runs rampant in cheaply manufactured toys, particularly those from poorly regulated facilities. BPA exposure through plastic chew toys triggers behavioral changes and increases cancer risk according to veterinary toxicology studies. Your dog’s liver cannot process these industrial chemicals like humans can, making even small amounts dangerous over time. Size Matching Prevents Fatal Accidents A toy that fits entirely in your dog’s mouth will eventually end up there. Great Danes need toys at least 4 inches in diameter, while Chihuahuas require nothing smaller than 2 inches to prevent swallowing. The Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society found that 67% of choking incidents involve toys sized inappropriately for the dog’s breed. Measure your dog’s mouth opening when fully extended – the toy should be 50% larger than this measurement. Multi-dog households must size all toys to the largest dog present, as smaller dogs often attempt to play with oversized toys meant for their bigger housemates. Now that you understand these dangers, you need to know what features make toys genuinely safe for your pet. What Makes a Dog Toy Actually Safe Heavy-duty natural rubber stands as the gold standard for safe dog toys, with materials like those used in KONG products that provide exceptional durability. Food-grade silicone offers similar durability while it remains flexible enough to prevent dental damage. Nylon bones designed specifically for dogs provide long-term chew satisfaction without they splinter, though you should apply the thumbnail test – if your fingernail cannot make an indent, the material proves too hard for your dog’s teeth. Safety Certifications You Should Demand The absence of federal regulations for pet toys makes manufacturer certifications your best protection. Unlike products meant for human consumption, there are no safety regulations on pet toys and accessories. Seek toys labeled BPA-free, phthalate-free, and lead-free from companies that voluntarily submit to safety tests. West Paw subjects their toys to third-party testing through facilities, which performs fatigue and failure assessments that simulate months of aggressive chew sessions. Toys manufactured in the USA generally meet stricter safety standards than those from countries with minimal oversight (particularly those with lax chemical regulations). Trusted Brands That Prioritize Safety P.L.A.Y. and Chuckit! brands consistently demonstrate transparency about their production methods and material sources, which makes them reliable choices for safety-conscious owners. These companies publish detailed safety information and willingly share their test results with consumers. KONG maintains its reputation through decades of consistent quality control and material innovation that sets industry standards. Age-Specific Design Requirements Puppy toys require softer rubber formulations that accommodate teeth and jaws in development, with KONG’s pink and blue puppy lines specifically engineered for dogs under nine months. Senior dogs need purple KONG toys made from gentler materials that won’t strain teeth with age while they still provide mental stimulation. Adult dogs between one and seven years handle the classic red KONG durability, while power chewers require black KONG Extreme toys designed for the most destructive dogs. Size progression matters equally – puppies graduate from small to medium toys as they grow, which prevents the dangerous gap where yesterday’s appropriate toy becomes today’s choking hazard (especially during rapid growth phases). Once you understand these safety features, you need practical methods to evaluate toys before you make your purchase. How to Spot Safe Toys Before Purchase Read Labels Like Your Dog’s Life Depends on It Labels reveal everything manufacturers hope you will ignore. Scan for specific material declarations – natural rubber, food-grade silicone, or certified organic cotton tell you what your dog will actually chew. Vague terms like “non-toxic” or “safe” mean absolutely nothing without certifications that back them up. The FDA requires no safety tests for pet products, so manufacturers can claim safety without proof. Country of origin matters significantly – toys made in facilities with strict chemical regulations cost more but protect your dog from lead contamination that plagues cheaper imports. Check dates to avoid old inventory that may have materials that degraded (particularly rubber toys that lose structural integrity after 18 months of warehouse storage). Test Durability With Your Hands Squeeze every inch of the toy with your hands before purchase. Seams should feel completely smooth without loose threads that dogs can grab and unravel. Press your fingernail into rubber toys – if it leaves no mark, the material will crack your dog’s teeth. Shake the toy vigorously near your ear to detect loose internal parts that will become choking hazards within hours of play. Pull firmly on any attached pieces like ears, tails, or decorative elements. Components that move even slightly under pressure will detach completely once your dog applies serious force. Identify Construction Red Flags Testing facilities can evaluate pet products to various national and international standards including ASTM F963 and EN71 Toy Safety Directive, but your hands can identify obvious weak points that spell trouble. Avoid toys with visible glue lines or uneven surfaces that indicate poor quality control. Look for reinforced stitching on fabric toys – single-thread seams will fail within minutes of aggressive play. Check for sharp edges or rough surfaces that can cut your dog’s mouth or gums. Quality toys feel substantial in your hands, while cheap alternatives feel hollow or flimsy. Trust your instincts – if a toy feels questionable to you, it will definitely pose risks to your dog. Final Thoughts Dog toy safety requires vigilance that extends far beyond the initial purchase. Durable materials, proper size, and toxic-free construction form your foundation for smart toy selection. Natural rubber, food-grade silicone, and certified organic materials provide the safest options for your pet. Weekly toy inspections prevent emergencies before they happen. Replace any toy that shows cracks, loose parts, or frayed edges immediately. Even the highest-quality toys deteriorate with use, and yesterday’s safe toy becomes tomorrow’s choking hazard without proper monitoring (especially for aggressive chewers). Your dog’s safety depends on manufacturers who prioritize transparency over profit margins. Companies like KONG, West Paw, and P.L.A.Y. voluntarily submit to third-party tests because they understand the stakes involved. We at DogingtonPost provide ongoing coverage of pet safety issues and product reviews to help you make informed decisions about dog toy safety.

A kitten spotted alone in the rain has not only survived but blossomed and found the cat buddy she didn't know she needed. KasskroutteChatons Orphelins MontrealTwo months ago, a social media post went out pleading for help for a small kitten found outside, without a mother or siblings.Timid and wary, the kitten bolted into hiding. By the time help arrived, she had vanished. The next day brought heavy rain, and she was spotted again, huddled against the sidewalk of a bridge, soaked to the skin.Curled into a ball, she leaned against the curb for support as traffic roared past. Chatons Orphelins MontrealA kind-hearted woman rushed to the kitten's rescue. When she arrived, she saw cars whizzing by the helpless little one, but no one stopped to help."The kitten was huddled on the edge of the sidewalk and didn't know where to go, so she stayed curled up in the rain next to two cigarette butts," Celine of Chatons Orphelins Montreal shared with Love Meow. Chatons Orphelins MontrealWhen the rescuer reached down to lift her from the wet pavement, the kitten hissed with all her might—the only defense she could muster. "She could have been hit by a car or fallen off the bridge at any moment. Luckily, one person took action to help her."Volunteers quickly came together, arranging transport to bring the kitten to Chatons Orphelins Montreal. It took a network of caring people to get her to safety. Chatons Orphelins MontrealThey affectionately named her Kasskroutte after "casse-croute," which means snack in French. She was barely two months old, underweight, dehydrated, and starving. When offered food, she devoured an entire plate until her tiny belly was full. Veterinarians treated her for ear mites and stomach issues, and soon she began to heal."She went to her foster home, where she immediately felt comfortable and even started purring." Chatons Orphelins MontrealWith nourishing meals and endless affection, Kasskroutte began to gain weight and energy."She's enjoying her new life filled with cuddles, playtime, and security. She's so full of life and incredibly endearing. She's always ready to play, chasing feather toys, pouncing on anything that moves, or hunting for springs and hiding them in her secret stash." Chatons Orphelins MontrealWhen she isn't zipping through the house like a tiny tornado, she can be found curled up in a warm lap, purring herself to sleep."She purrs the moment you pick her up. She loves lounging with her people on the couch, and at night, her favorite place to sleep is on the same pillow as her humans, snuggled right against their heads." Chatons Orphelins MontrealShe follows her people from room to room and often "helps" on the keyboard when they work. She's not fond of closed doors and insists on being part of whatever they are doing."She has a huge need for attention and plenty of energy. She loves to climb and always finds the highest perch to watch what's happening around her." Chatons Orphelins MontrealWhen Kasskroutte met another foster kitten named Regliss, it was instant chemistry.They hit it off right away, playing, exploring, and napping together like lifelong friends. "She's so happy to have a companion. She's never bored now. They share everything, even the pillow with their humans at night." Chatons Orphelins Montreal"They love to play together, and when they're tired, they snuggle beside their people for a long, purr-filled nap."Thanks to a compassionate woman and a group of volunteers, Kasskroutte's life has been forever changed. Today, she races joyfully around the house, has all the food she could ever want, and a best friend to cuddle with constantly. Chatons Orphelins MontrealShare this story with your friends.

PBS’s newest Frontline documentary, “The Rise of Germany's New Right” concerns the rise of the AfD in Germany (Alternative for Germany) party and its supposed links to Nazism and Putin's Russia. Director and correspondent Evan Williams has also made the Frontline docs Germany’s Enemy Within (2024) and Germany’s Neo-Nazis & the Far Right (2021). Germany’s migrant problem surged after 2015, when former Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the borders to people (mostly fighting-age males, it seemed) fleeing the Syrian war. Over three million refugees and asylum seekers have entered Germany since, some bringing Islamic-style terrorism with them and causing understandable backlash toward the country's open-border policy. Yet terrorism involving migrants in Germany was barely noticed in the documentary and narrator Williams preferred to smear the AfD for noticing. He dredged up controversial statements and spurious links to Adolf Hitler. All the while, the main anti-Semitism on the ground in Europe today is coming from the pro-Hamas left. A scene featuring Elon Musk talking by video to an AfD rally looked straight out of a movie version of 1984, and the scare-mongering filmmakers made the most of it. Kai Arzheimer, political extremism scholar: This is absolutely unprecedented. A foreign billionaire using this platform that he owns to support a radical, if not extremist party during the election campaign was a first for Germany, and probably first for many European countries.... The hour-and-a-half documentary was filled with “far-right” and Nazi labels and, of course, Hitler references. Williams also noted “the Trump administration's expressions of support for Europe's far right” and lamented JD Vance’s condemnation of the “firewall” that keeps AfD from forming a German government no matter how many votes they get – in the name of “preserving democracy." Williams: In the fall of 2024, I was in Germany as the AFD swept to an election victory in the eastern state of Thuringia. Since the January 6 riots there has been a suspicious amount of love from journalists for intelligence services in the U.S. Frontline used as their main “expert” Stephan Kramer, domestic intelligence chief in the German province of Thuringia. After stating that a party many people voted for would have no voice, Williams saw no contradiction about banning AfD as a threat to democracy. Williams: Opponents of the AFD have long been warning that the party represents a threat to German democracy. Stephan Kramer is the domestic intelligence chief in Thuringia. He's Jewish, and one of the AfD's most vocal adversaries. Talking heads were all stacked with the alarmist view. Kramer played the Nazi card. Stephan Kramer, director domestic intelligence, Thuringia: ....We have a principle in Germany which is called defense of democracy. It comes out of the ideas and experiences that we had with Nazi dictatorship. Remember, Hitler and his Nazi (NSDAP) were elected into power. They didn't do a revolution. People voted for the Nazis to take over the power. Williams made sure the comparison took with viewers. Williams: Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany without ever winning a majority in an election. In 1933, he formed a coalition government, and then legally obtained emergency powers, enabling him to ban all other parties. Is that not what Germany is basically doing to the AfD? Williams couldn’t even mention terrorism when noting the 2015 influx of asylum seekers, skipping ahead to “unintended consequences…..A rise in anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment.” Yet Williams discovered “a wave of far-right terror attacks in 2019 and 2020” which put the AfD under scrutiny. Williams finally addressed migrant knife attacks in Mannheim, Solingen, and Magdeburg, albeit indrectly by archive news clip voiceovers. But even then Williams tried to muddy the waters. Williams: The [Solingen] attacker's motives were confusing. He was a Saudi who'd been granted asylum, had been critical of Islam online, and even expressed support for the AFD. Nevertheless, the AFD seized on it. Williams played coy with statistics (as if “official crime statistics” can’t be stretched in the name of official purposes like not providing talking points to the AfD). Williams: Throughout the campaign, the AFD would argue that immigration had led to exploding crime rates despite the fact that official crime statistics didn't support the claim. Kramer: If you look on the statistic, it's simply not true that the majority of criminal acts have been done by migrants. That's not true. If you look on the federal criminal statistics, it doesn't give that evidence. Per capita, anyone? Even the New York Times had to admit in an aside back in 2019 that “Of all crimes recorded last year, 39 percent overall were committed by non-German citizens, though they account for just 12 percent of Germany’s overall population.” Kramer: But still the AFD is claiming it. And again, when emotionals [sic] are cooking high and when they prove, yes, they have some cases, very brutal where, yes, immigrants have done something, committed something, nobody is interested in the true story and nobody's interested in statistics. Everybody's interested in the blood and who is responsible for it. Whom can we hang? Williams’ rebuttals were suspiciously vague. Williams: German labor statistics show that over time, most Syrians able to work do get jobs but Bernhard and others continue to use the issue as a key talking point. Frontline’s major complaint about deadly attacks by migrants were that they gave the AfD an opportunity to pounce for political advantage. Unidentified voice-over: Things are very fraught here, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if this somehow is leapt upon by those who can see a profit in using this for their campaign in the elections. Williams let Kramer have the doc’s last anti-AfD rant. Kramer: There's a very nice phrase which is considered to be Goethe's quote, but Goethe never said it. It's, "If you sleep in a democracy, you wake up in a dictatorship." The sources for this hit piece seemingly have no clue that perhaps people who surveil a popular political party and strenuously attempt to keep them out of government aren’t actually supporting democracy. Perhaps they’re the baddies, after all?

A New York Times report documents how the environmentalist Sierra Club group imploded after trying to maneuver into diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in the last few years.The report included many firsthand accounts of how racial activists were brought into the fold and then colonized the environmental mission, leading to the downfall of the organization.'That’s fine, Delia. But what do wolves have to do with equity, justice, and inclusion?'The Sierra Club was one of the foremost influential environmentalist groups before it allowed social justice proponents to hijack its agenda, the report suggested. The result was a drop in donations and membership and a rise in layoffs.A tax filing analysis showed that the group consistently brought in tens of millions of dollars more every year than it spent from 2015 until 2019. In 2020, it was about even, but the expenditures far exceeded revenue in 2022 and 2023."Sierra Club is in a downward spiral," read a letter to the leadership from a group of managers.The Sierra Club had about four million members and supporters in 2019 but has lost a whopping 60% of those since, the report claimed.The report said the organization pivoted to expand its focus during President Donald Trump's first term to include racial justice, labor rights, gay rights, immigrant rights, and other causes. That experiment failed so badly it had to fire Ben Jealous as executive director, whose previous job had been heading up the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.On the way there, the group aliened many of its dedicated volunteers.It drove away longtime volunteers who loved the club’s single-minded defense of the environment, by asking them to fully embrace its pivot to the left. Some even felt they were investigated by the club for failing to go along. Many hard-core supporters felt the Sierra Club was casting aside the key to its success: It was an eclectic group of activists who had one, and sometimes only one, cause in common.The Sierra Club also issued an "equity language guide" that warned employees against using problematic words, including "vibrant," "hardworking," "lame duck session," and even the word "Americans."One Sierra Club director objected to a budget that paid for only two full-time employees to fight Trump's policies on the Arctic refuge while funding the equivalent of 108 full-timers on DEI. They passed the budget despite his protest.After former President Joe Biden won the election in 2020, the report said that the Sierra Club lost supporters over a public argument about making Israeli divestment an environmental issue. The group backed off on the issue but not before damaging support.RELATED: Wisconsin mom who criticized 'woke, White' social justice coordinator beats defamation lawsuit One anecdote included in the report was a staff member's response to an ecologist volunteer who opined that Sierra Club should seek more protections for the wolf population in Colorado."One of the staff said, ‘That’s fine, Delia. But what do wolves have to do with equity, justice, and inclusion?’" she recalled.The Colorado chapter responded: "No one was investigated or accused of values misalignment on the basis of wolf conservation efforts."Like Blaze News?

A new study titled “Architecture of Near-Death Experience Spaces” has caught the attention of both the empirics and the eternalists, because it’s not often that a study about dying reads like a map to heaven.The researchers asked participants who had clinically died and been resuscitated not to describe their near-death experiences in words, but to draw them. What emerged were recurring shapes — cones, ellipses, radiant fields — across people from entirely different cultures.As the apostle Paul wrote, 'Now we see through a glass, darkly.' And science, for once, seems to glimpse the flicker of eternity.But here's the kicker: These weren’t the random doodles of oxygen-starved brains. They were geometric symphonies, ordered and elegant. It was as if consciousness, freed from the flesh, had glimpsed the very scaffolding of creation itself.For a Christian, this is profound. Scripture has long told us that creation is not chaos but design. “The heavens declare the glory of God,” wrote the psalmist (Psalm 19:1), and here, perhaps, the dying do, too. When the heart stops and the veil lifts, what appears before the eyes of the departing may not be fantasy but revelation — a structure that feels deliberate, like architecture drawn by divine hands.Dr. Jeffrey Long has spent decades collecting such glimpses. An oncologist by trade and founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation, Long has catalogued over 5,000 accounts from people who claim to have died and returned. His findings echo the new study’s quiet suggestion: There’s order here.Across cultures, creeds, and continents, the same themes recur.Consciousness separates from the body. A light appears — intelligent, loving, unthreatening. A panoramic life review follows, often described as instantaneous yet complete. Time dissolves and peace floods in. And then, inevitably, a choice or command to return.These aren’t vague platitudes. They are astonishingly consistent. Whether the subject was Christian, atheist, or vaguely spiritual, the pattern is the same.RELATED: Science's God-denying narrative just got crushed again Pobytov/iStock/Getty Images PlusLong’s data also reveals what happens after the return. Many report their faith deepening not from glimpses of pearly gates, but from meeting something that made sense on a cosmic scale. Others who had never believed before find themselves suddenly convinced that life does not end in nothingness. Across thousands of testimonies, moral clarity re-emerges like a melody.Long told me his work has been called everything from pseudoscience to prophecy. But to him, the evidence points to something beyond the brain. When the same story emerges from a Buddhist in Nepal and a Baptist in Tennessee, argument starts to feel like denial.When I reached out for comment about the link between near-death experiences and religious faith, Long directed me to his archive of testimonies — hundreds of raw, personal accounts from people who have stood at the edge of eternity and come back changed. They speak of a presence no doctrine can fully capture and a peace that science could never explain.It’s the same paradox Christ left us with: The kingdom of heaven, near enough to touch, yet utterly beyond our comprehension.Long shared with me four short lines from his archive, chosen because they capture what even theology struggles to say.“They said the energy of love is a good reason to return,” wrote Galadriel K, who described her experience with a calm certainty that makes disbelief feel naive. “It’s an unconditional love. I know Him. I met Him. … I met Jesus,” said Sharlene S, her words somewhere between testimony and awe. “When I got close enough to the Light, I felt unconditional love and time stopped,” recalled Judy G, as if describing an emotion too large for language. And then there was Charles T, whose final line needs no interpretation: “I knew what the source of that Light was. … It was Jesus.”There’s something disarmingly simple in those statements — no grand theories, no intellectual gymnastics. Just awe. They testify to a presence that makes earthly distinctions fade. All melt away before the presence that burns through every pretense.Critics will, of course, roll their eyes. They’ll talk about cerebral starvation, neural fireworks, the brain’s desperate attempt to comfort itself as it shuts down. But these explanations sound increasingly like the dying gasps of materialism. If consciousness were merely chemical, it shouldn’t behave so coherently at the brink of breakdown. It shouldn’t script the same story in so many minds.There’s a dark humor in watching science stumble, wide-eyed, into what the faithful have always known. The modern world has spent centuries insisting that heaven is a myth, the soul a silly superstition, and death nothing but a switch flipped off.In an age when every mystery is monetized and every miracle gets fact-checked by faith-phobic bureaucrats, it’s oddly comforting to know there are still places where no human instrument can reach.Yet now, with the help of MRI machines and EEG scans, researchers are rediscovering the same truths that Sunday-school children sing. Progress, it seems, has come full-circle — proof that even unbelief can only wander so far before bumping into God.To the Christian reader, these findings are not a challenge but a confirmation. The consistency of these visions, their moral coherence, their geometrical appeal — all resonate with a faith that has always held the visible world to be only the shadow of the invisible.As the apostle Paul wrote, “Now we see through a glass, darkly” (1 Corinthians 13:12). And science, for once, seems to glimpse the flicker of eternity.Of course, it would be wrong to make doctrine out of data. Faith is built in pews, not in peer reviews. But it’s just as foolish to ignore what so many have seen. In an age when every mystery is monetized and every miracle gets fact-checked by faith-phobic bureaucrats, it’s oddly comforting to know there are still places — perhaps the oldest place of all — where no human instrument can reach.In that space between pulse and paradise, geometry gives way to grace. People describe radiant fields. But what they really mean is radiance itself — love, light, life. The shapes may differ, but the direction is always the same: toward something higher, brighter, unending.Maybe that’s what the dying have been trying to tell us all along: that death is not the end of knowledge but the beginning of understanding. And no matter how mighty our machines or how certain our reason, humanity — from Maine to Manila — keeps sketching its diagrams of eternity: cones, ellipses, celestial plains.Each line is a breath from beyond, proof that what we call death is only design, still unfolding.

U.S. airlines canceled more than 2,100 flights on Sunday as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that air traffic across the nation could "slow to a trickle" if the federal government shutdown lingers into the busy Thanksgiving travel holiday season.
