People complained that Chengdu zoo was letting their clouded leopard get fat, their expert explained "This cat is like thirty years old, that's twice as old clouded leopards GET, and he's just had major surgery. Making him lose weight would do WAY more harm, just let him have this."

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

Bonkers. Still lab scale, but a team has created an anode free, solid state, sodium battery. It's basically just sodium and an aluminum (some powdered) current collector. Huge theoretical potential for abundance, fast charging, high density.

Further to discussions about garden wildlife, Husband has bought a 'trail camera', and is setting it up in various places to see what we shall see. We now have proof that the hedgehog knows where cat kibble might be found of an evening. A hedgehog feeding station in the garden is now a priority!

The thing I keep coming back to on this post is “bloodless if the left allows it to be.” He’s not saying “bloodless if the left doesn’t fire the first shot.” He’s saying “bloodless unless the left wins.” He’s advocating for violence if he doesn’t like the outcome of the election.

A squire rushed in to the great hall.

"Someone," he shouted, "has taken the sword from the stone!"

The assembled knights halted their dinner.

"At last, a king?"

"Who?"

"I don't know," the squire said. "The sword is gone!"

Biden has to be it. SCOTUS will say Harris isn't legitimate. Go from there. Sorry. Adulting sucks. This all sucks. The media is caving early to fascism thinking it will save them from the wall. (guess what: it won't).

I hope Sluggo played it safe and didn't set up a ladder in the road for his crayon stunt. I would expect nothing less than that he should climb to the roadway above, then hang by his knees whilst drawing upside down.

I'm a little concerned that potentially vital stories going about here seem to have originated at a magazine that used to be a real news source and has lately become a cautionary tale. I'd like to see other sources than newsweek.

One other thing Mike Morell told HJC (aside from explaining how Trump's narcissism makes something like Jan6 more likely) is that the 2016 RU attack started in 2014, which I had come to believe, but didn't realize the spooks did too.
