I Was Storing Cheese All Wrong. This Simple Fix Keeps It Fresh for Days CNet | August 05, 2025 | Pamela Vachon
Informative article, actually.
“If you see it molds up a little bit, generally you can scrape off that mold and it’s no problem,” says Montez. Because of the lack of water content in cheese, food mold can’t penetrate it very deeply like it would with many other food products. “Look out if it’s black mold or something like that,” he says, “but the thing is, it’s rare that a piece of cheese becomes unsafe to eat. It’s going to become unpalatable to you long before it’s unsafe.”
Nova Scotia sets up hotline for people to snitch on neighbours caught violating ban on hiking, camping, fishing Western Standard | 6th Aug, 2025 | Jarryd Jäger
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston has announced a province-wide ban on forest-based activities in an attempt to prevent wildfires.
… “Effective 4 p.m. today,” Houston said, “we are restricting travel and activities that really aren’t necessary for most of us — hiking, camping, fishing, the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted. Trail systems through woods are off limits.”
Let me guess: only essential government workers’ outdoor activities and liberal “boot camp” retreats allowed.
Exclusive: Democrats Plan to Spend Tens of Millions of Dollars to Fund Hundreds of Content Creators Breitbart| 08/04/2025 | Nick Gilbertson
Democrats are planning to spend tens of millions of dollars to spin narratives on social media as part of a $110.5 million fundraising effort, according to images of slides from a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) donor event obtained by Breitbart News.
Under a heading “Urgent Off-Year Funding Needs” on one slide, it states the DCCC looks to raise $10 million for social media and content creation,
… that’s where you come in.
$20 million for “Accountability work,” $15 million for “Voter Registration,” $5 million for “Recruitment” and “Primary Engagement,” and $2 million for “Research” and a “Rapid Response Infrastructure.”
One goal is to enlist at least 667 content creators, with the aim of reaching 83 million Americans and drawing 6.6 million engagements, per another slide that focuses on content creation. The program aims to engage at least 167 “Non-Political Creators” and 8 “Vetted Creators for ads in every target state.”
Maybe here, too.
There will be what the DCCC calls a “Social Media Bootcamp” that runs for four weeks.
Sounds like fun. Weenies cooking hot dogs, group tax hikes, etc.
The boot camp, which seems to be for content creators, will focus on “Customized social media evaluation,” “Platform-specific optimization strategies,”
Joke about the Emu, and you’re in. Oppomization!
“Realtime insights on trending content and engagement Strategies,” and “Daily + rapid response content.”

Couple Find Nazi Bunker After Digging Under Home Yahoo! News | August 3, 2025
A couple have discovered a Nazi bunker underneath their house.
Shaun and Carrie Tullier bought their home in Torteval, Guernsey, four years ago and were tipped off by someone who used to live in the house about a wartime building being underneath it.
After digging up their driveway, they eventually managed to unearth the bunker and now have plans to turn it into a games room and gym, although they will keep the original features. The bunker dates back to when Hitler’s forces occupied the Channel Islands from 1940 until 1945.
