not since the run-up to the Iraq War have I seen such a barrage of egregiousl emperor-no-clothes reporting.

THE ORIGINAL GOVERNMENT IS STILL IN PLACE

THE TRMP REGIME DID NOT TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY

they're not running shit there, and they're *not* telling anybody when to vote.
One reporter on the aeroplane asked, “How soon can an election take place?” “Well, I think we’re looking more at getting it fixed, getting it ready first, because it’s a mess. The country is a mess,” Trump replied. “It’s been horribly run. The oil is just flowing at a very low level.” He later added, “We’re going to run everything. We’re going to run it, fix it. We’ll have elections at the right time. But the main thing you have to fix: It’s a broken country. There’s no money.”

BBC is embarassing itself.

1) the original Venezuelan government remains in charge
2) HOW WILL TRUMP RUN THE COUNTRY NOW THAT HE'S IN CHARGE?

wtf

www.bbc.com/news/article...
Despite Trump's claims the US would run Venezuela until "a safe and proper and judicious transition" was possible, Maduro's allies remain in charge. It is unclear exactly how the US plans to run Venezuela or who will be involved, but the US president said it would be a "group" effort.

y'all that are going along with trmp's gaslighting crap that he'll run venezuela. you're looking insanely stupid, for the world to see.
Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, a core loyalist of the regime, has already been sworn in and remains openly defiant, publicly calling for Maduro’s release and vowing that Venezuela will not become a colony of the United States, meaning the power structure Maduro built remains intact. Yet Trump stood at his presser and told the American people that the United States “will run Venezuela,” openly describing a de facto takeover while simultaneously leaving the same authoritarian apparatus in place, which raises an unavoidable question: What does “running the country” actually mean when the regime loyalists remain in control?

some historical context: South Africa has a whole musical genre based on this.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwela
Origin The most common explanation for the word "kwela" is that it is taken from the Zulu for "climb", though in township slang it also referred to police vans, the "kwela-kwela". Thus, it could be an invitation to join the dance, as well as serving as a warning. It is said that the young men who played the pennywhistle on street corners also acted as lookouts to warn those enjoying themselves in the shebeens of the arrival of the police.[1] White people, unaware of its meaning, then thought that it referred to the music when they heard people shouting "Here comes the kwela, kwela!" warning of the police's presence.[2]

that's why I'm spending a lot of effort bringing Jugendstil ornaments to my landing page (disabled now, it's super hard) :)

for now, it has water, starfish and dragonflies.

this stuff matters. it connects you to the beauty of life.

First time for me to see these little marvels :D

Genus Kapala I think, Family Eucharitidae (Chalcidoidea)

I think they're ant parasitoids? Not sure what about the sculpture on their back!

today I learned to fish for trapdoor spiders :D

what you do is gently open the lid, stick a straw deep into the burrow. they bite on it. when you pull it out quickly, they're attached to it :P

once out they just sit there. they don't have a program for this situation it seems :)

#iNaturalist
this goes pretty deep! after I put it back on its lid, it was just sitting there for a quite while, before going back in.
