TIL that during the 18th century, “coining” was a common crime where people would shave off tiny amounts of precious metal from coins, which was punishable by death in some countries.

Zhirinovsky predicted the meeting between Putin and Trump:
"Here will be the meeting of Putin and Trump, and they may come to an agreement. An excellent achievement... All of Novorossiya, he (Trump) gives consent, does not object. Everything will be under the Russian flag, like Crimea and Donbass. He closes three conflicts. Three-time Nobel Prize laureate. And normal relations with Russia, with China. But at the same time, he will milk Europe, strangle it, because he hates it"

This makes my job sound amazing. Now all I need is a five year old to explain it to.
Explain my job as an RF engineer and principal scientist on a level a five year old could understand.
ChatGPT said:
Sure! Here's a version of your job explained simply, like for a five-year-old:
"I help make invisible waves do useful things."
You know how walkie-talkies, cell phones, and TVs can send messages through the air without wires? That’s because of something called radio waves—they’re like invisible magic waves that carry sounds, pictures, and information.
My job is to figure out how to make those waves go exactly where we want them to go, and do exactly what we want them to do, without getting all mixed up or lost.
And when I say I’m a scientist, that means I ask lots of questions like, “What if we tried this?” or “Why does that happen?” Then I do tests and experiments to find the answers.
So:
I'm like a wizard for invisible waves.
I build and test clever things like antennas that help those waves travel.
And I solve tricky puzzles when things go wrong, like a science detective.
That’s what I do!

Elon Musk threw his support behind the president after Donald Trump threatened to federalize Washington, DC. The threat came after a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee was reportedly assaulted while trying to save a woman from a several attackers. The man who was attacked has been identified as DOGE employee Edward Coristine, who is also known by the nickname "Big Balls."
"A few days ago," Musk said on X in response to Trump's post on Truth Social, "a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC. A Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her. It is time to federalize DC."
Trump had said on Truth Social, "Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local 'youths' and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now!"
"If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City."

MI5 DRAWS SHORTLIST FOR "ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY"
But they won't tell you who's in it!
"Lord Evans, who is a former head of MI5 and a crossbench peer in the House of Lords, described the process as one of “discernment” rather than straightforward “selection”.
