Just a reminder that the US right's respect and fetishisation of veterans is purely performative
As expected, MAGA is coming after disability benefits for combat veterans.
Here's just one example of the rule's impact: Veterans taking anti-depressants for PTSD will be forced to stop taking the medication in order to retain their disability payments.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Ramadan is imminent so I'd like to share one of my favourite memories. Amble back with me to 2001; I am 19 and I have aspirations of becoming a good, professional stand-up comedian. Once a month I meet with actual real pro comedians who try to turn wannabes into the real deal. 🧵

I am not fat, I am a floaty-boaty.
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

What Cape Town can do to save water
More is needed than asking residents to use less. The municipality has to fix its sewage treatment plants.
