It’s sad how Wile E. Coyote is remembered for his violence, and not for his brilliantly realistic paintings of tunnels.

Remember when the social threat Elon Musk took over xitter and started putting labels on NPR and other accounts as "Government
Agents"?

Guess how many Russia and Putin Accounts xitty has now.

Guess how many have labels?

You guessed right! the xitty social weapon run by Musk is a hotbed of hidden Russian propaganda!

Moscow’s disinformation operation “is a multimillion-euro weapon of mass manipulation aimed both internally at Europeans and the rest of the world”

It's 'Conference Season' in the UK, where after a solid fortnight of work after the Summer hols, Politicians run off to some city to talk loudly in a room full of people who are hungover.
The #Tories are in #Manchester, hence the police on the roofs overlooking the convention centre, as witnessed by a friend of ours staying in a hotel.

The special election in NH proved once again that Democrats have the momentum. This was a district that Trump won in 2020. It just went to the Democrat by 12 points, and with one more special election to go in a blue-leaning district, Democrats there could soon bring the state house to parity, putting the long GOP NH house majority to an end!

@ParkinJim It is indeed. They could reach a much higher number if they don't capitulate - Many units have no rations now. They exceeded their stockpile and ability to produce.

Number crunching from Private Eye

Always helpful to note that we’ve had 46 U.S. Presidents, and they’ve been indicted on a total of 91 felony charges. Here’s how it breaks down:

1-44: 0

Shit. I can’t imagine what teaching must be like these days 😟

"Covid could do for ventilation what cholera did for cleaner water systems"

"...covid could serve as the same kind of catalyst for better indoor air as cholera did for better sewage and cleaner water in the 19th century."

-**If only** **we could have predicted that this could happen**. If there was just some pattern to it. Or some sort of history to it. Or some way of recording to see it was happening. Or some structured multicoloured warning system that would help alert us to prepare *before *we surged.

Yet another petition... but I think a potentially important one given human track record in buggering the planet up, and really going to town when mining companies are involved...

Deep-sea mining is set to begin in 2023 and will cause irreversible destruction to our planet. Add your name to the urgent open letter against deep-sea mining, and help us prevent this tragedy before it begins. #DefendtheDeep
