Mango55 test day at Brands Hatch tomorrow. New fairings for the SV650 to be delivered to the track, ready for the start of Bemsee' 2025 season. The 400 is perfect and doesn't need testing.

The problem with liberalism is that it sits around waiting for extremists to cut its throat. Musk is clearly using Twitter to undermine European democracies, so Europe should pull the plug on it. Who gives a shit if he wails about freedom of speech. Geo-block it in Europe and tell him to get fucked.

"Behind the seemingly scatter-shot opening acts of his second administration, legal analysts see a common goal: to test a once-fringe legal theory which asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch." --Jacob Knutson

"Key congressional Republicans have powers they’re choosing not to use... "Senator Susan Collins, for example, believes the White House and DOGE may be breaking the law. She doesn’t, however, seem eager to use her considerable influence..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Supernova remnants (SNRs). Would you believe, both of these SNRs are roughly the same age and size. Only difference is distance! G179, top left - 11,000 lya Simeis 147, bottom right - 3,000 lya Gives you a cool perspective on distance in space! Image credit: Stephane Vetter 🔭 #Space #Astronomy

A bastion of fair trade and really groovy stuff with a deep community involvement will be closing soon in High Wycombe. I was there at the start, and I will be saddened at its loss. Ruby Moon. www.facebook.com/share/165mQJ...

I read a thriller recently, very MAGA, and it portrayed her as a stable PM during a Bond type international crisis. This is the fictional world they live in, Europe's leaders are fascist dictators, and Israel is their only reliable ally, the UK is Islamist leaning. It is pervasive, they believe it.

“When Fascism came into power, most people were unprepared. They were unable to believe that man could exhibit such propensities for evil, such lust for power, such disregard for the rights of the weak, or such yearning for submission." - Erich Fromm

You have to hand it to the French. Who'd have thought of having a lemon festival in the first place? But then to make a giant lemon astronaut?

Does that mean you'll be happy to contribute to the UK's support of Ukraine by paying some taxes?

I am amazed to be admiring his integrity, again, actually.

I am a child of the 70s/80’s that was brought up to admire America. It was the bulwark against Russia. A strong superpower that was on the right side of history despite its many failings. Never did I have on my bingo card - weak bitch to Russia and traitor to the west. But here we are.

This is so true. He seems willing to let fascism have a headstart of 101 days before making a judgement. Trump is already praising himself as the King.

Is it possible to stop fascism after giving it a 101 day head start? The Teamsters Union seem to think that's fine. Weird, I thought unions were sorta socialist...

Can someone please suggest to Elon that Boeing is defrauding the government and siphoning funds into DEI propaganda... or something left-ish. I just think it'd be a hoot if Trumps new planes were delayed by his bestie. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Trump seems to consider losing to Biden his Reichstag fire. His "stolen" election and criminal prosecutions have disconnected him from any but his own reality, his belief is that he is good, but does bad things, they are bad and must do worse, probably means he won't allow elections again.

With all these politicians and such from Europe, etc, correcting the big orange baboon, you just know his next EO is going to declare he is the absolute and ultimate arbiter of the truth. I think some kind of "stable genuis" check-up might be in order. The generals and JCS are next on the block.
