Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

In esse's and in posse's, they bear down upon me like the horde's of Midian.

The person who edited the book I am currently attempting to read must be the sole scion of an ancient family of greengrocers, if the surfeit of extraneous apostrophes preceding terminal esses on verbs, pronouns and plurals is to be taken at face value.

Basis for all sorts of excellent jellies: mint, quince, elderberry etc. Simmer down to a pulp in minimal water, strain the juice through butter-muslin in multiple layers, by the hanging-bag method, then boil to a set with sugar.
V. high pectin content, so can use juice/jelly to help set softer jams.

Trees in a grass verge: copper-leaved cherry behind; in front a crab-apple, smothered to the tip of every twig in a foam of pink-and-white blossom.

Looking good for a bumper crop of crabapples next autumn.

Experts At Hand: A good idea built on wishful thinking and shaky foundations — Special Needs Jungle Matt Keer looks at the DfE's Experts At Hand SEND plan: big funding, unclear delivery, weak accountability and a serious specialists shortage

Encountered the phrase about DfE funding being 'hosed at consultants' and thought, this has got to be an @captaink77.bsky.social piece.

And, dear reader, I was spot-on. As is Matt's evaluation of the Experts At Hand programme proposal.

Enjoy.

You should be warned that #NotMyCat is a form of entry-level drug, and his is the exemplary cautionary tale.

As well as this tweet, Temu Lex Luthor here, has also been quoted as saying "Most NHS nurses look like they're eating food banks out of business."

Don’t let him get his deposit back.

Surely, of all the newspaper audiences in the country, #Mail readers would be the most likely to stubbornly insist the fateful decision taken in June ten years ago was the right one?

Well, no. Very much no.
Hilarious

A photograph of a young boy's face and shoulders. His hair is short - two strands fall on his forehead. The photo is very blurry. You can see that he is wearing dark clothing. Behind him the outline of some building or fence is visible.

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

Considering how fast pancreatic cancer usually kills, those results are amazing.

We should NEVER forget the illegal and medically inappropriate DNRs that were inappropriately placed on people for no other reason other than they had a learning disability. Truly shocking.
