My first year of primary school was in Staffordshire and I was taught reading using ITA with no ill effects; I soon became a precocious reader and writer with excellent spelling.

Last night at Moth Night, we saw a lot more than moths. The highlight was happening upon this beaver absolutely chowing down on some wood, corn on the cob style. You’re gonna want to put your sound on for this one.

Nice to know that the writer of the article is twenty-six, handsome, and charming, but how about this Reinspects guy sitting in the front...row?...of a black 1997 Ford Mustang.

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.

Wow. So he votes to gut Medicaid and throw 17 million people off of their healthcare and then dumps his Medicaid related stock to cover his own ass?

That’s just evil and cruel.
Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.

His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

Door de wieren van Anna Atkins dacht ik aan het fenomenale glaswerk van Andrea Spencer, ook wieren. Ik hou er van als mensen zoiets kunnen maken, als ze een vaardigheid als dit beheersen. Dat dwingt respect af.

Meanwhile... over on X ... Darren Grimes, the Tiny Tears of British politics, is upset because it's not the fifties any more.

Modern day Soho Square on the right and you can see how much it's changed.

Last year I wrote about Tesla's slowing sales and Elon's leverage on it, and how both could get him in trouble.

As of March 2023, per SEC filings, 238.4 million of his 411 million TSLA shares are pledged as collateral. That's...a lot. www.splinter.com/tesla-and-th...

A bouldering chalk bag that I made years ago, dug out of the closet not because it’s the first day of snow and ought to be the start of gym season, which it is, but because I needed to wrap some athletic tape around the bird feeder pole that’s too big for the juncos to hold onto. #rockoasis
