Incredible. A healthy military is an effective military. Ideology trumping sense.

I find Acts 12:13-14 has the ring of truth to it and is quite cute

‘Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door. When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”’

Very beautiful. Never seen these before. Thought they were Wood Anemones at first. Which also flower this time of year on the forest floor but in Europe! Convergent evolution perhaps!

This and the slashing of USAID are so tragic and it is impossible to have a full accounting of the harm to humanity they have caused but we know it’s staggering.

Love a bit of wildlife celebration obviously but it’s a little sad that we’re now so fractured culturally that it’s not worth the hassle of trying to agree on someone to put on our money.

I think there’s a visceral disgust with betting on polymarket etc currently. Hopefully that will push this over the line. Stock trading has become too normalised. Can’t imagine that going anywhere sadly.

The selective exclusions really irritate me. It’s just prima facie discrimination.

If your calendar isn’t available easily then scheduling can go from a 30 second job to a multi-hour nightmare. Interesting the chat is dividing along government / academic lines it seems when it comes to this.

Interesting. You’re probably aware of this but the Bible has the first documented control trial. In Daniel ‘Please test your servants for 10 days. Let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. You can then compare our appearance with the appearance of the young men who eat the royal rations’

Incredible work!

It’s always the ones you most expect.

Something in this mess must be a crime surely. If we fail to even attempt to enforce ethical standards it will just get worse 🤦‍♂️

Article says that Guinea-Bissau has decided to delay its universal introduction of the Hep-B vaccine by a year. The harm caused to this cohort of children is on the heads of RFK and everyone involved in this.

Awesome collection. What’s the Game & Watch looking thing?

Yes it’s hypocritical. And super off putting to anyone who isn’t already a leftist (and probably also most leftists)

The royals can’t insulate themselves from consequences. Which is a sign that real power has shifted elsewhere.
