Stopped Clocks are right twice a day (2 1) But to negate that "I'll take away the pennies - but I'll be back later for the pounds (or dollars) 2)If the PRC attacks Taiwan we'll leave them swing in the wind like Ukraine, and in the meantime we will start a trade war about their chips.

Stopped Clocks are right twice a day 1 With so many Maga doozies admit it he has to be right occasionally - by accident. So 1) the one cent coin is a waste of space and time 2) Delete the "we do not support Taiwan independence!

One of the reasons for Prescot Grammar School (founded 1544) giving me the bum's rush was my refusal to attend assembly or give up Biology O level for RE. But there is a case for compulsory RE--- it has given the UK one of the world's highest levels of disbelief! :) humanists.uk/2025/02/07/l...

So the US, that once "blacklisted" Mandela as a "terrorist" has now decided that Afrikaaners should get refugee status in the US to join the Musk-Thiel Broederbund. I saw it last night and forebore posting for fear it was a spoof. No it's echt Weisshaus. Feb 7 Executive Order.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

When reporting is stenography. WP echoes DOGE claim that 40,000 federal employees responded to the Resignation scam. A quick check shows that that is far less than normal attrition! in 2022 70,000 retired and 77,000 quit. ourpublicservice.org/blog/recent-....

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
