Speaking from experience, the Epoch Times is an incredibly questionable source. They regularly publish conspiracy theories, lies, and they're owned by the Falun Gong. Every once in a while a sample issue is sent out with some factual reporting (and a conservative bias, which is fine) to get people to subscribe and fall into the really ridiculous stuff. Re: your bias site, I do not know.

Yeah, the other side says "slow".

Looks like Reuters is saying that Israel denies hitting this facility, but they shot at a nearby Hamas rocket site. Odds are good something came from there, like the hospital Hamas accidentally struck last year. Plenty to criticize without making things up.

This torture method is a bit of a stretch...

This is a really cool project, but I can't help but wonder about the numbers. 1,400/month for a 1 bedroom when there are rentals for <1k nearby, closer to Pittsburgh proper. And the same price point will get you a place inside the city, if that's where you work.

Not really, just a huge difference between the different regions of PA. Philadelphia/Pittsburgh/Harrisburg vote blue, their metros mostly do, the rest of the state is deep red.

State level elections are determined by whether or not the city people turn out to vote.

Ok, so it's flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.

Super important to note that this was apparently Secret Service, not ICE. Probably looking to talk to a kid who posted a threat against the president, rather than try to deport someone.

Primarily planting in California in the main agricultural areas. There's stuff being grown that is frost resistant as well, but less than what'll crop up closer to March and beyond. With that said, yeah, the winter is down time for the workers who fill in like contractors for the major farming operations that don't have year round employment.
