Yeah, his posts don't really add up. Amazing how many English-speakers are lined up with foreign interests these days.

Europe - home to Kaiser Bill - knows all about personalist incompetence.
Americans would do well too to recognise that the Meiji revolution - the turning point in Japan's fortunes - was a victory of communal expertise over personalist failure.

Yes... and people not noticing that it's 25Bn across the UK - all from Scotland's oil - is why that sleight-of-hand works.

Low-extraction-tax-high-tax-at-the-pumps is the trick that quietly shifts oil wealth off Scotland's books.
In spite of which the 90Bn-odd revenue amply covers the 60Bn budget.
Just need to stop wasting 30Bn on British incompetence & corruption.

A good read... that doesn't justify its casual dismissal of 'monarchy' while going on to rename it needlessly-intellectualist 'patrimonialism'. Then deigns to lecture on messaging while also failing to justify choice of 'corruption' over 'incompetence'.

Fuck off using *any* electricity to 'mine Bitcoin'. Waste our planet's precious resources needlessly - *needlessly* - to conjure up a pretend scarce financial instrument?
Bitcoin has an appallingly destructive design. It needs caught & killed.

Bread freezes so well it's worth freezing half of a fresh loaf (in plastic!) so its better a few days later after you finish the rest.
You know you can revive stale bread with a skoosh of water before you toast it, right?

Swim.
It's easier on your joints. It's full-body. It's aerobic, which is more important to health than muscle strength. And it engages your focus - if you don't pay attention, you drown.
