Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

Measles outbreaks are surging again, this time in South Carolina.
In normal times, we’d be hearing anticipatory guidance to the public on what to look out for and to encourage vaccination.
These are highly abnormal times and we are filling the void.

Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter .
A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many

Just heard an economist say that families that have a third child will now be better off.
They won’t. THEY’LL STILL HAVE THREE KIDS. Do you have any idea what’s that like? Insanity.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.
