3/4, missing Cardiff

Around Xmas/NY I was reading reports from China, about a virus, cases vs deaths. Scaled it to a pop of 7bn, and didn't like the answer. It was an overestimate, but even reducing the order of magnitude was alarming. At the time I thought surely not, must be wrong, something will rescue us...

Misread that as the "Mandalorian interview" and the picture of Mandelson there caused quite a non-sequitur moment.

At least not government by Pope! #henry8th

I think it can make sense to quietly move towards Europe without *saying* you are moving towards Europe to avoid overtly energising Nigel or Donald.

Mentally chuckling at a future election where both parties use essentially the same campaign poster, but one is deluded.

It's so cute how they name them "assets".

It's for study tho, right? Read the manuals, work out how many targets it can engage. Put it on a range, fly an f35 past it, see how it copes with the adversary. Optimize your MALDs to defeat it. Etc

Give it to the British.

Interesting. Also, she doesn't really answer any of the questions she's being asked!

Nevertheless, great stuff, thank you.

With today's Korean crisis Bluesky has roundly demonstrated its utility for following breaking news.

I'm at the National Assembly building. The army is here. And I just saw two soldiers in fatigues getting pushed around by belligerent ajusshis. and they looked legit scared.

Barely enough time to buy the lettuce, Liz Truss must be spinning.

I am, incidentally, pretty drunk rn (the job is 24/7!!!). This is the most Korean thing I've ever done.

190 present, 190 voted to DEMAND END TO MARTIAL LAW DECLARATION
