Secure in the knowledge that most things are too hard to have strong opinions on. Sadly in these polarised times, many people on social networks spend more time figuring out if you are "on their team or not" than engage in an exchange of ideas.

Frog shrugs off the bites since a scorpion's bite is actually not venomous, and is little more than an annoyance to a much larger animal.

Ok I'll see myself out.

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

So is it clear enough who is doing this? Sounds like it could still be local idiots finding it funny rather than Russia trying to.. what exactly, taking operational photos of airports? Or is the disruption the point?

The Rue Charles Baudelaire in Paris has undergone a major makeover, giving a safe space to children around their school. It is one of over 300 "rues aux Γ©coles" in Paris, showing the success of their green city project.

Just sharing this cartoon made by Niels again.
Shieldwalls are awesome.
Regularly check in with loved ones to make sure they're perhaps in need of a shieldwall.

Just in case, like me, you doubt this is real: it is, I checked.

Actual people thought this was a good idea, not some AI slop fakery to attract clicks.

Barbican Estate - Wikipedia

One word: Barbican.

Ok more words:
intended as high-spec, high-rent accommodation to attract wealthy professionals back into the City after the devastation of World War II.

Not a tree in sight for miles. (Ok mild exaggeration but close)

A clock that turns yellow when alarm goes

A clock that turns yellow when alarm goes

Step 1: acquire gro clock
Step 2: threaten horrible repercussions if they wake you up before the clock turns yellow
Step 3: clarify tinkering with the clock is also punishable by death

-> profit. (Or at least less sleep debt)

There's a clear pattern of trump going after people that do things he doesn't like, but in this case, I suppose it depends on what Bolton was 'extracting' from the secret stuff.

Sounds like he's writing a memoir tbh

Can't read the entire thing but if true, and ignoring the whatabboutism that trump stored docs in Maralago, this doesn't sound like an bad reason to charge Bolton?

Starmer reminds me of the Bill Hicks bit where he suggests that every US president, just sworn in, gets taken to a smoky room and shown the Kennedy assassination from an angle nobody has seen.. "any questions?".

From Starmer looking to be an OK guy to this inept feels.. off? Or is governing hard?

The thing I get: rich people trying to get richer by looking for opportunities, and not looking too far to the downsides.

The thing I don't get: mustache twirling evil such as actively dismantling news orgs, denying climate change, pretending you can talk to god.

This Day in Labor History: October 11, 1979. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fined the chemical company American Cyanamid $10,000 for coercing women workers into sterilization if they wanted to work in jobs where they would be exposed to lead and chemicals!!!!!
