Epstein also owned Great St James (67 ha, 165 acres), which shields the view of Little St James from the mainland.

It is a sobering thought that one of his NYT obituary writers died two years ago.

To be clear, this product is still 35% (natural cane) sugar (by weight, I assume).

Personalization, The Vastly Bigger Story Behind the Pimpmobile Jet Bribe (talkingpointsmemo.com)
 

If we step a bit further back still we see this is where the meaning and the symbolism of the murderers row of tech oligarchs at the inauguration really comes into fruition. This is government, at home and abroad, of, for and by the oligarchs. If Elissa Slotkin doesn’t want me to say oligarchs, fine. We’ll focus on Trump wanting to be King. That’s another reason why he likes those folks – even the ones who bankroll Hamas. They’re kings. They get it. They’re Trump’s kinda guys.

Wisconsin woman missing for more than 60 years found ‘alive and well’. in c/world@lemmy.world

Agreed on both parts.

I'm glad she escaped, and I hope the kids did too, whether with her or grandparents or through some other mechanism.

Her two children are a loose end not addressed by this article.

When I'm scrolling through posts, I can set the display to show the community or not, show the user or not, but I can't show the URL itself. Really all I want is to see the domain, so I can judge if a click will be taking me to dailymail or rawstory or msn or foxnews.

This information is available in the website view as highlighted in the screenshot.

Is this a missing feature or am I just missing the setting?

Edit: Feature added. Thanks, Rubén!
