I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Happy Wednesday! Today's word wasn't too hard to find. As for the verse, I'm pretty sure we've all been there!

Happy Tuesday! Fell the wrong side of a 50:50 by taking the less chic option. So it goes! Wallace Carrothers was a brilliant industrial scientist who suffered from clinical depression, and as is all too often the case never saw the happiness he brought to countless others.

Goodbye Petrostates, Hello ‘Electrostates’: how the clean Energy Shift is reshaping the World Order
Goodbye Petrostates, Hello ‘Electrostates’: how the clean Energy Shift is reshaping the World Order
By Niusha Shafiabady, Australian Catholic University and Xiaoying Qi, Australian Catholic University (The Conversation) – For more than a century, global geopolitics has revolved around oil and gas. Countries with big fossil fuel reserves, such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, have amassed significant wealth and foreign influence, helping shape the world order. But the global […]

I'm a leisure paraglider pilot flying a Niviuk Ikuma 2 once or twice a week. I love free flying but don't see it as any big deal, so I rarely post about it on social media outside of club chats.

I hope you get to fly soon.

Once you have experienced being able to fly IMO it never leaves you.

Happy Monday! It was a coin toss between getting it in 3️⃣ or 4️⃣ and I was on the lucky side. The verse didn't come that easily - I've noticed when that happens they tend to be more reflective. Hope it's worked.

‘I don’t agree with your lifestyle’

My ‘lifestyle’ is ‘suburban housewife living in poverty’

So what’s your real issue?

It's looking increasingly obvious that folly in premise leads to disaster in implementation followed by denial and deflection. And we're witnessing this sorry spectacle over and over again.

It's something any civilised society has to avoid like the plague.

At its peril!

"Does the ECHR stop states from controlling their borders?"

No. The ECHR Court emphasises migration policies are up to states themselves.

"But the ECHR stops the UK from deporting foreign criminals."

No, it doesn't.

Successful human rights-based appeals against deportation are very rare.

I knew ear-nicking was a feature of WWE culture, but never did I even imagine it becoming iconic to American national identity.

Curiously, Caligula, Nero & Commodus were notable in doing very similar stuff with their coinage.

Perhaps this is a sign the US has stumbled into getting a mad emperor?
