Have you ever been to the Sepilok orangutan sanctuary? I think they'd be happy to take you in.

Welcome to Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre

Since 1964, Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Borneo has rehabilitated rescued and orphaned orangutans, one of the world’s most endangered primates, with support from Orangutan Appeal UK.

Be careful - my OH used it to find contacts, experts in a scientific & industry area in an unfamiliar geography. The contacts looked plausible but it turned out they were all hallucinations - sometimes real people but not at that institution or not with the relevant background; others just fake.

Hard plastic made from bamboo is as strong and durable as conventional plastics for uses such as household appliances and car interiors, but also recyclable and biodegrades easily in soil.

Biodegradable plastic made from bamboo is strong and easy to recycle

Bamboo is a highly renewable resource, and its cellulose fibres can be turned into a hard, mouldable plastic for use in cars and appliances

Maybe you don't want to wake either?

a bald man with a mustache and the words ignorance is bliss written on his face .

Alt: Cypher from The Matrix, a bald man with a mustache, played by Joe Pantoliano, says "ignorance is bliss" as he chews on a virtual steak inside the Matrix. He knows it is not real, but he prefers this fake reality. He would probably have a floor-to-ceiling fish tank in his apartment too.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

I just watched the start of Frauds (iTV), with Suranne Jones and Jodie Whittaker. Looks good so far, & Guardian gave it a good review.

Ps my old COVID test kits had expired, showed negative. New, fresh ones picked up my recent infection.
