Getting ready for my competitive athletic performance art performance set to a Depeche Mode instrumental track while I engage in spoken word poetry (recite the English translation of ALI PROJECT single titles). This should go well.

up until the (in retrospec) incredibly stupid decision to phase out nuclear power, I was under the impression that a German nuclear deterrent would have been a comparatively turnkey operation, now I’m not sure.
Look let's be clear whose fault this is, I can't blame Germany or France in the least for having this conversations, etc etc. All true.
But the fact remains: GERMAN NUKES?!

No clue how I pulled Boo Radley out of my ass since I read the book nearly 30 years ago.
The 1960s thing probably threw people because the setting feels 50s or older (fitting for a 1960 publication).

This was Pete Domenici’s seat once upon a time if you want added irony.
The only Republican challenging Dem Sen. Ben Ray Lujan is disqualified by New Mexico SoS. The ABQ Journal says this would leave the GOP without a Senate candidate for the first time in "modern history," and just six years after Lujan won by only 6 points. www.abqjournal.com/news/four-ne...

The Pentagon has long been developing anti-drone weapons meant for use in war zones where they can control air traffic. But the DoD hasn’t yet figured out how to safely deploy them within crowded civilian skies. That didn’t stop them loaning some out to CBP to shoot off over Texas.

This isn’t a setback. This is deliberately thwarting the research and development of safe and effective medicine.
The FDA has refused to accept an application from Moderna to review its first mRNA seasonal flu vaccine, the company said, in another setback for the technology that’s been a target of some Trump administration health officials. https://cnn.it/4kt8iyn
