Bernard's Watch is probably the super-power I think about most often. Only issue with it is I assume the wielder continues to age while time is frozen. Else I'd use it to catch up on reading... everything, then re-appear as a withered old man to everyone else

Interesting facts about purring thread
In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS:
Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.
Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.
Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis

Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

Americans, famously, have easy access to guns. What's with all this "peaceful protest" bullshit while people are being kidnapped and murdered?

Do YOU regularly go in to Screwfix, and if so, how hairy is your arse? Statistical scientists want to know

We've definitely forgotten the power of a General Strike in the UK. Am glad someone - and I really wonder who - managed to organise this
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

So like... is breaking the MPs code not actually illegal, then? What are the ramifications for breaking it?
Nigel Farage broke MPs’ code 17 times including over £91,200 payment from a London-based gold dealer
Rival political parties accused the Reform UK leader of ‘lining his pockets’ instead of serving his constituents

It’s worth noting how much of this stuff wasn’t unveiled by hard muck-raking: the guilty men appear to have been all but chasing the lobby hacks down the street to tell them how awesome their choreographed wrecking campaigns were, and how they were the reason their party got walloped in the election
As I said at the time: you don’t get MPs suicide bombing their own careers, openly collaborating with the press on endless heavily-choreographed PR stunt wrecking campaigns because the lads are worried that the boss is going to *lose*.
![Second, Labour Together had to 'ensure' that Corbyn lost badly, according to Maguire and Pogrund? Only Corbyn's resounding defeat in a general election would remove him from the scene and trigger a new leadership contest. There is no doubt that the Labour Together Project viewed electoral success for the Labour Party under Corbyn as anathema.
McSweeney's SWOT analysis listed 'a Labour government' in the category of 'threats'. As Asthana notes, this made 'explicit that [McSweeney's] concern was not whether Corbyn could win, but that if he were to become Prime Minister it would prevent the renewal they were focused on? McSweeney and his allies would burn down the party to inherit the ashes.
Indeed, Labour Together was bent on engineering this
"renewal even though it meant giving the Tories another five years to oversee widening inequality and biting austerity as they drove through a hard Brexit. It is one of the striking ironies of the Labour Together Project that it would select Starmer to replace Corbyn in part because it could trade on](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5hyjbx4hnlxe5il24ydnn4sr/bafkreibl23rang5uwt6rsec6jfpqmm6x63523bp3x4mezp7iaxdtw6olhq@jpeg)
