I was grateful when I discovered Vaclav Havel's "The Power of the Powerless" and was given a metric to judge how far a government has shifted toward totalitarianism even while they champion their country's freedom.

yes. tasting fabrics is one of the easiest ways to test fiber composition. natural fabrics, such as wool, cotton, and linen, breakdown in the digestive tract. synthetics such as polyester will not. so to test fiber composition, eat the garment. if fibers appear in your poop, it was synthetic.

I still can't get over the fact that Rep. Chip Roy was demanding the removal of renewable tax credits on the big bill right before his district got hit with the direct results of climate change. I hope his constituents remember, but I guess his oil and gas backers might just give him more.

Just look what you get when you overlay Alligator Alcatraz and historic hurricane paths. I'm sure they have a plan for a safe evacuation, for the staff at least.
