Munir, not forgotten. Nor the 22 student activists kidnapped by Prabowo's outfit who never made it out.

Stosslueften for the win! I think it's because German houses are so well insulated - you don't open the windows, the air runs out

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

A python's heart grows up to 40% bigger within 48 hours of eating a meal. Researchers found that their blood had a specific cocktail of fatty acids that turns their blood milky white. When researchers injected a low dose of this mixture into mice (carefully and over time) the mice hearts grew too!

Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests requiring photo ID to vote was attempt to 'gerrymander' which 'came back to bite' Tories The government has consistently denied that the reforms were an attempt to help Conservative support in elections, but Mr Rees-Mogg's remarks suggest this is not necessarily the case.

Every morning, my cat lets me know she’s hungry by cuddling into my side, purring, and giving approximately 10,000 kisses.

She has not figured out the inherent flaws in her strategy to get me out of bed. And y’all better not tell her.

1/10. Tory peer Daniel Hannan has posted a potted history of slavery that demonstrates how historical understanding is being twisted by politicians. I’ll examine it in light of historians’ research.

Re #Iran, I wonder whether the US military has war-gamed the occupation of Larat, Hormos, Hengam, and Qeshm islands?

1/ I've been thinking a lot about the US "This is not who we are" discourse. Trying to think through it.

Note: This is all so far out of my lane my car may as well be in a nearby lake, so just skip this thread if you're looking for actual expertise or wisdom.

The thing about Musk getting his nob polished in Davos is he condemned 750,000 people to death (and counting), mostly in Africa, by destroying USAID and everyone there is cool with that.
