Well... of course I don't want to miss a thing.
But let's be practical here.
I could do with a nap, and we can always catch up in the morning.
Just saying 😁

I'm imagining a world in which Trump, Putin and Netanyahu - the unholy trinity of angry old white men - are dead.

Lovely sentiment.
But if I could turn back time...
Nope.
Love where I am right now.
Still an awesome song, mind :)

What astonishes me, saddens me, angers me about Trump...
Is that Brits, Europeans, Canadians even, feel that there is even the slightest chance that we may have to face America as an enemy in war.
He did this.
Nobody else.
Him.

How did Nigel Farage's girlfriend find nearly a million pounds to buy a house in Clacton for her boyfriend?
❗️Farage Stamp Duty Scandal ❗️

All he needs do to clear this up is to publish the relevant documentation.

In UK law, using a 3rd party to buy a property with your money is Tax Evasion.

The rest of NATO: Err... we really fucking are.
CNN: Can you rule out US taking Greenland by force?
Miller: Greenland should be part of US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? US is the power of NATO.
CNN: So you can't take military force off the table?
Miller: Nobody is gonna fight US militarily over future of Greenland.

This is one of the wildest deep-sea mining stories to me.

Paleodictyon is a 500-million-year-old trace fossil from an unknown organism. In the last 50 years, we've found their honeycomb traces on the seafloor. There is a living organism that has been doing its thing for half a billion years.

Since the late 1980s, various experiments have been conducted in polymetallic nodule fields of the Pacific Ocean to assess the potential environmental impacts of future mining, specifically in two are...

From a British perspective, this is interesting.
Here, if you rent a home "unfurnished" you probably have to get all your own stuff - cooker and fridge included.
California landlords are now REQUIRED to provide working refrigerators and stoves in all rental units.

Providing essential appliances is just common sense.

Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu were Romania's problems.
Romania dealt with them.
Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores are Venezuela's problem.
Why does Trump feel he has the authority to deal with them?

Never heard of her before now.
But - wow!

Musk, through Twitter, has an awesome tool in his hands.
He could, if he chose, identify to the authorities thousands of potentially dangerous sexual and violent predators simply through what they ask Grok to do and how they use his platform.
He chooses not to do that.
