Bondi knows she will not face repercussions for her disgraceful performance yesterday, and Trump knows he can get away with impeachable offense after impeachable offense, and law breaking, because there will not be a *free* fair election for years, if ever.

The lunatic is completely out of control and drunk with power given to him by SCOTUS, no significant pushback and not needing any accountability for his actions.
The U.S. is doomed.

‘The president is unhinged’: Trump’s online behavior grows increasingly odd

The US president’s recent behavior is strange to many, from reposting a false AI video of himself to confusing comments during press conferences

A 3,500 year-old Egyptian glass cosmetic jar with two little duck heads!

Glass was a relatively new material at that time, so this jar would have been a precious possession.

From Merit’s beauty case, found inside Theban tomb (TT8) of Merit and her husband Kha in 1906. 📷 Museo Egizio

#Archaeology

Museo Egizio Turin photo showing a small, dark-blue, core-formed, round glass jar which tapers in at the shoulders below the neck. It has yellow, white, and light blue festoon decoration trailed around the main body. There is a single yellow trail just below the neck of the jar. There is a dark-blue circular glass lid, the top of which is adorned with two dark-blue duck heads with yellow bills, a yellow trailed stripe on the top of each duck’s head, and indents for their eyes. The jar is displayed on a perspex (?) stand against a grey background. Glass jar dimensions: 7.6 cm x 9.6 cm.

Core-forming is one of the earliest glassmaking techniques. Glassmakers shaped the body of the vessel around a core, wound colored trails around it. They then let the vessel cool and removed the core.

Watching the fall of democracy in real time is horrifying but fascinating.
That it happened so quickly with no pushback is also horrifying but fascinating.
A nation born of slavery, might makes right, and misplaced patriotism and jingoism, is doomed to fail.

The president jokes about getting coughed on, hopes he dodges COVID, asks for Paxlovid… and I just think he should also know about monoclonal antibodies and metformin.

Ohio State University scientists engineered a weakened SARS CoV 2 virus as a nasal vaccine that also carries RSV proteins.

In hamsters it gave complete protection against both COVID and RSV after one dose.

Vaccination is highly effective at preventing hospitalisation for acute Covid-19. The NHS is under unprecedented pressure. A sensible, evidence-based policy decision would thus be to significantly widen eligibility for free Covid-19 vaccination.

Covid hospitalisations up by 37% - highest in nearly a year

Waning immunity from jabs and prior infections - together with rising cases as children go back to school and the weather cools - are thought to be behind the rise in hospitalisations

The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election.

It won 51 seats - an outright majority.

Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership.

A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.
