Something I read earlier today that I don't know where to put

- Start date
But it's unlikely that Holocaust denial was the reason for its removal? Curse words and nude corpses seem to be the reason?
"Instead, the board demurred to a lengthy statement issued weeks earlier justifying its determination that “Maus” — a graphic novel in which Jews are portrayed as mice and Nazis as cats in the retelling of the horrific Holocaust experience of the author's parents — was inappropriate for children because of curse words and a depiction of a nude corpse, which was drawn as a cartoon mouse."
A PSA that we all need to remember: https://www.yahoo.com/news/family-died-california-mountains-made-042534404.html
Always remember to bring more water than you initially think you'll need when hiking. It might save your life. Ditto have your cell phone fully charged and have 9-1-1/9-9-9 automaticaly saved on it before going on a hiking trip.

Be your own guru.
Tragic. People take hiking lightly. I too did, but fortunately, did not encounter problems.
I'm not sure if this belongs in Videos forum or Mystery thread:
It does sound tasty, though.

I found this article about evaluating whether a source is a "baloney sandwich"
https://www.skeptic.com/skepticism-101/baloney-detection-kit-sandwich-infographic/
It has a nice infographic that serves as a decent reference. I sent this to someone I know who is trying to get into critical thinking but has a hard time sifting through the same dense, lengthy tomes on logic that I go through. They seemed to be receptive to it.

Recently found out that the junior senator from Wisconsin (who is up for reelection) has been accused of trying to submit fake 2020 election results for both Wisconsin and Michigan! He's a real Johnson imho.

An Amtrak passenger train derailed after it struck a dump truck that stopped on the tracks late yesterday/earlier today: https://news.yahoo.com/video/amtrak-train-derails-colliding-dump-204535961.html
First off, train v. any other vehicle will come out better off than its competition. That is one of the main reasons why it's illegal here in the United States to stop on/park on active tracks!
Second, please excuse the attachments to the video.
