At some point we have to ask why British politics keeps producing leaders who struggle to do the job.
That's partly about the pressures of the role itself, but it's also about the "pipeline": how likely are our procedures to generate leaders with the skill-set to manage those pressures?

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Just to put a smile on your face, let's remember when Senator Mark Kelly sent his twin Scott a gorilla suit on an ISS resupply (which blew up in 2015), then sent him a SECOND gorilla suit, which Scott used to scare the hell out of British astronaut Tim Peake.
I admire the determination to a gag.

Alt: A camera on the ISS captures a man (British astronaut Tim Peake) swimming wildly out of control through microgravity, while pursued by gorilla (actually Scott Kelly in a gorilla suit). There's a soft-sided storage container that Tim has to shove aside to get through a connector. It's a comical effect.

Now all of a sudden a few degrees is the difference between life and death!
