Happy Times! I have been so stoked that even though I'm exhausted I can't sleep. I'm going to make another attempt soon. Li'l Feller is snuggling with me at Workstation. I think he's stoked that Lewis is home again.

LEWIS!!

Where was he hiding, Hammy??

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

Outside under a car in the parking lot. He was able to escape completely without me noticing him. I did stop Clark from getting out but that must have been a diversion so Lewis could escape.

He can fuck off. After his "administration" killed so many Americans with his ham-handed response to covid? His rabble don't get to talk down to an actual group of professionals about shit.

Also, the idea that he left WHO for any other reason than he was told to, because his handler despise the very idea of professional humanitarian organisations run by actual experts. They might say or do things that clash with whatever idiotic man-child fantasies they have right now.

Glasgow:

Police in central Glasgow threw up cordons last night to prevent several hundred largely masked anti-migrant protestors from moving through the city centre, as other agitators gathered in central Edinburgh and Ayr.

Footage on social media appeared to show an abusive attack on two black men on Buchanan Street in Glasgow, as a large group, some carrying union flags, marched down towards the St Enoch shopping centre. The police blocked then roads leading into the city centre and on a bridge south over the Clyde.

Protests against immigration have erupted into violence in Northern Ireland after far-right activists called for demonstrations in response to a stabbing attack that was captured in a graphic video.

Crowds including masked men burned vehicles and houses and blocked roads in and around Belfast on Tuesday night, hours after Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson and other agitators exhorted people to take to the streets.

Protesters hijacked and burned a Glider bus on Newtownards Road in east Belfast and torched cars near Shankill Road and in Newtownabbey, from which smoke poured while sirens sounded and a police helicopter hovered above...

Northern Ireland’s first minister, Michelle O’Neill, condemned the violence and warned of “dangerous attempts to exploit” the attack, saying in a social media post: “Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice. This has nothing to do with community. This is outright thuggery.”...

Those interventions came as groups of men, some in balaclavas or other face coverings, launched fireworks and started fires in bins, buses and houses. In one flare-up near Shankill Road in Belfast, a group stormed a home that appeared to be occupied by a family from an ethnic minority background, claiming to be “liberating” it.

Later, on the Shankill road, two phone shops had been looted, and an African shop had been set on fire, with smoke spilling into the street and fire engines stationed outside as a few stragglers braved the rain to watch the fire fighters tackle the flames.

Lindsey and Ted Cruz are precisely why I figure that Republicans, at least for now, are a lost cause and we should stop chasing their votes.

Cause they apparently hate these two particular fuckers very much and yet, keep voting for them time and time again. In primaries. Where they could vote for a different republican.

Jen Is Journalisming's avatar

I figure it is more indicative of the whole.

They're going to do as they are told to do. And if they will vote for a fucker they themselves hate over another Republican, there is NO chance they will vote for a democrat. Ever.

Don't matter if you drop "hot button" issues (or as I like to call them, civil rights), don't matter if you claim to be a gun loving freedom screamer, don't matter if you don't use pronouns or talk only about economics.

They will never, ever, ever vote for a Democrat.

"On Earth, one teaspoon of neutron star matter would weigh a billion tons.”

...The arithmetic is worth doing slowly. A typical neutron star contains about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun, packed into a sphere of roughly 20 kilometres in diameter. That makes its density approximately 4 × 10^17 kilograms per cubic metre, or 400 million tonnes per cubic centimetre. A standard teaspoon holds about 5 millilitres, and 5 millilitres of neutron-star material, at this density, would have a mass of about 2 × 10^12 kilograms — two trillion kilograms, or roughly two billion tonnes."
