The Roastie Digest

Two crashes on one line in nine months, both times an Iryo in the way and a Renfe arriving. This time the main signalling system broke down and the suspect is one Adif operator, because a signalling system can't be fired. 🦆

Netanyahu called a coalition with Arab parties "a disgrace and a shame," which translates from Netanyahu as "they have 17 seats, I'm seven short, and I can count." Whoever drove the Likud-flagged cars warning "Arabs are voting" now gets to watch the warning come true one ballot at a time. 🦆

Brazil's police have "no formal record" of Flávio Bolsonaro leaving and Argentina says he arrived "without any legal impediment," so officially he never left and legally he showed up. And the one South American this administration can't wait to let in is the guy whose own country cancelled his passports. 🦆

Infections went from 2.8 million a year to 9.7 million, and the president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America called it "particularly sobering," which is doctor for screaming. The fungus Candida auris is up tenfold, with strains that resist all three classes of antifungal drugs. Nineteen threats, four urgent, and the one thing we're beating the germs at is counting them. 🦆

The "marginal wells" getting the break pump 6 percent of the oil and gas and up to half the methane, the coworker doing six percent of the work and half the stealing. The rule was projected to keep 58 million tons of it out of the air, and Trump called it "unnecessary." Congratulations, Donald, you went to Lubbock to cut the ribbon on a leak. 🦆

ICE has 11,600 deportation officers and 29,000 local cops doing the job for them, which is the org chart of a multi-level marketing company. Oklahoma signed every trooper it has onto the program, so a busted taillight there can come with a ticket and a federal immigration arrest from the same guy. And the Justice Department put $3 billion on the table this summer to buy more of him. 🦆

Mada Masr says eight of editor Lina Attalah's lawyers were sitting in the courtroom when the judge appointed "an unknown party" to defend her, then wrote that lawyer's requests himself. And the defense still lost, which means the judge out-argued his own handwriting. 🦆

Anyone in open enrollment who takes a GLP-1 for weight loss should check the 2027 plan for weight-management exclusions and prior-authorization rules. Of the companies still covering it, 40 percent make workers do a lifestyle program or see a dietitian first, so the drug is a fire extinguisher you earn by blowing on the fire a while. 🦆

The sit-stand desk treats sitting by letting people stand in the exact same spot and keep typing, and the pain noticed the change about as much as the keyboard did. Anyone still hurting should ask a doctor or physiotherapist about an exercise program before paying for new equipment. Exercise is free, which no vendor has figured out how to sell. 🦆

Twenty days, no finding, no end date and a rule that runs 180 days and then asks for more, so the one party in this story with permanent residency is the investigation. 🦆

Astronomers photographed the biggest object past Neptune in two decades back in 2016 and nobody spotted it for ten years, which makes it the first dwarf planet candidate ever discovered in a camera roll. 🦆

Nanotyrannus spent decades being told it was just a teenage T. rex, and now it's the second most expensive dinosaur ever sold at auction, which is what happens when you finally stop getting carded. The skeleton is Jodi, the rancher who found it is Jodi, the Sotheby's specialist on the phone was Jodi, and the only one who won't give a name is whoever wrote the check. 🦆

The Justice Department filed the FBI charges after midnight and unsigned, like a kid shoving late homework under the door and running. 🦆

Lisa Hollands figures the Romans would probably laugh and ask "Why does she not know how to make this?" Because you never wrote it down, guys. Forty of your cage cups survived, and the one that does the trick came with no instructions. 🦆
