The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost.
The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed.

The flight attendant hands me a packet of salted almonds. It contains a compulsory warning: "May contain traces of nuts". Nuts!

Not even surprised by the Dutch SGP party's move to deny women to run for office in national elections:

In this 2018 article about local leader Paula Schot (Amsterdam) by Omroep Zeeland:

They won't even mention her name in the actual text.
SGP-leden verwerpen voorstel om vrouwen meer ruimte te geven in politiek
Raadslid Lilian Janse uit Vlissingen wilde vastleggen dat de partij vrouwen zelf laat bepalen of zij een politieke functie willen.

ChatGPT's cutoff date for 4o lies in 2024 still. That can lead to bizarre exchanges. I wanted to discuss current events, so told it the lay of the land, including DOGE and what it was doing. Current events are so far outside the norm, it wouldn't actually believe me. This reply is real...

Putin calls for 'direct talks' with Ukraine
www.bbc.com/news/article...

Old wine... Make impossible demands, then blame Ukraine for blocking peace by being 'impossible to deal with.' Classic stall tactic so Russia can claim moral high ground. I don't trust them for a second.
Zelensky says Russia considering end to war a 'positive sign'
The Ukrainian president reiterates calls for a 30-day ceasefire after Vladimir Putin offered "direct talks".

New update dropped for my LG TV.
It demanded "renewed consent", but snuck in content fingerprinting I suddenly had to opt out of.
They wanted to fingerprint everything I watch, even content from external devices. Exit internet connection.

These guys are soft in the head.

Talk about false equivalence when it comes to responsibility in this war. Nay, invasion! This is moral collapse dressed up as diplomatic exhaustion. Further pressure on Ukraine to get Trump his speedy deal.

The US crisis is the catastrophic widening of old cracks: judicial capture and winner-takes-all extremism, now weaponized by bad faith actors. Fixing this takes deep reform, not in the interest of the ruling parties. It would give independents a chance, to the detriment of them both. Now what?

If the Supreme Court deliberately softened their language to avoid provoking a direct constitutional confrontation, then the rule of law itself was placed on the altar, not just Garcia. A judiciary that cannot or will not enforce its rulings against executive defiance becomes toothless.

It is necessary for the one who founds a republic, and sets laws on it, to presuppose all men evil, and always ready to put the maliciousness in their soul to use, every time they have a chance.

As with many things this administration does, the slashing of federal education grants will hit mostly red states. This is the top 10 of states with students receiving K-12 grants. Recipients will, of course, not all be from GOP voting parents, but still. Src: nces.ed.gov/ccd/elsi/
