There's too much Trump everywhere. I have a threshold of how much MIND NUMBINGLY STUPID I can take in a day.
The man is mentally incontinent (to put it mildly) and should be in a special facility that is NOT the White House.
And anyone supporting him and his "policies" is actually worse than he is.
We saw the storm brewing a mile away.
More bad stuff…
« The chemical lobby demanded Trump make the locations of high-risk chemical plants secret. »
So of course he did.

Glückwunsch!
Second shocking moment of the morning: I'm promoting something by The Telegraph.
Has there been a sudden and unwonted spasm of common sense on Buckingham Palace Road?

Merci - très intéressant. Je suis un peu surpris qu'elle soit une "propulsion", et qu'il n'y ait pas de pompe à chaleur.
Media is reporting that Ukraine is now refusing to sign "the minerals deal". But not saying that it's far from the same deal.
Round 1.
USA: Extortionate minerals deal.
UKR: <sigh> Okay, where do we sign?
USA: WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING A SUIT?
Round 2.
USA: Rape and pillage of Ukrainian extraction, energy and manufacturing sectors.
UKR: Er… we have a bit of a problem with this.
USA: WE'LL FUCK YOU OVER BIG TIME.
Trump's psychotic greed.

How does the Kobo compare with the Kindle - an improvement?
When I was a child in the UK, like the majority of my generation I had already had measles so I wasn't given the newly available vaccine. The Rubella vaccine that came out a couple of years later was given only to girls, because of the risk of birth defects. My first wife's eyesight was severely affected because her mother had contracted German Measles (Rubella) while pregnant.
This week I found my vaccination record from my medical prior to being granted a green card in the US. Turns out I finally got my MMR jab in 2007 because it was part of a mandatory cocktail of vaccines that all Permanent Residents had to have. I'm cool with that. Your country, your rules, and I finally had the vax I missed out on. Everyone should have the opportunity.
I mention this only because the needle has swung so far in the opposite direction that this week a leading government vaccine advisor has been forced to resign.
"It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies," Mr Marks wrote in a resignation letter, obtained by multiple US media outlets, referring to the agency's new leader Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Mr Marks was among the healthcare professionals who helped develop Covid-19 vaccines in the first Trump administration.
HHS responded in a statement to the BBC, saying if Mr Marks "does not want to get behind restoring science to its golden standard and promoting radical transparency, then he has no place at FDA under the strong leadership of Secretary Kennedy."
Restoring science to its golden standard.
Words fail me. I lived through rampant unrestrained epidemics that are now entirely preventable; saw polio victims in leg braces. It seemed strange to realise that we never saw those any more.
The idea of pretending that throwing away proven medical advancements has anything to do with science is frankly insulting.
HHS is being turned into a death cult under the rule of a deranged High Priest.
