The Economist has lost its marbles, its bearings, and its grasp on reality.
Donald Trump had reasonable concerns about how Joe Biden’s relatives enriched themselves through his service. Yet his own family is making the “Biden crime family” look small-time

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

grease floats.
when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.
the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.
listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

In my mind, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Max Richter are the two finest film (and TV) composers in the past half century. Another level above all others.
