The Soviets once tried to make a flying tank! The Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka (β€œtank wings”) was designed to glide onto a battlefield after being towed by a plane, supporting airborne forces or partisans. A prototype was built and tested in 1942, but it was ultimately unworkable.

My country Bangladesh just withdrew a 5 year old application for the UN General Assembly presidency to step aside, announcing that we would rather it go to Palestine. Bangladesh since it's existence has refused to recognize Isntreal as a nation. And we love that.

Pffft! You're talking to the *Plutocrat* of cat havers.

Was up to 13 total (including 9 kittens) a few years ago.

Got margin calls on my cat investments and had to sell off (adopt out) most of the stock.

Crap. Am I doing it wrong? Life is grand and I have four cats to warm the bed in winter.

Need to find some trouble in my life to moan about.

Gil, a big tabby cat, looking up over the back of a porch chair. He is in the middle of meowing and is raising one paw.

Go placidly amid the skeets & reskeets
And remember what clout there may be in blocking.

As far as possible without @s or DMs
be on good terms with all followers.

Quote-post quietly & clearly.

Mute the dull & the ignorant;
They, too, have their discourse.
But you do not have to listen to it.

 A digital poster features two Palestinian doctors, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, against a blurred background of destruction and smoke. Text at the top reads in bold yellow letters: β€œThey are not coming home.” Below, in white and yellow text, it says: β€œIsrael denies release of abducted Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams in deal.” Both men appear seriousβ€”Dr. Abu Safiya in a white medical coat, and Dr. Al-Hams in dark clothing with a stethoscope around his neck.

CNN reports that Israel has refused to release two abducted Palestinian doctors, renowned pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al Hams, deliberately excluding them from the ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
