Today reminds me of a poster I had back during the Vietnam years: War is not healthy for children and other living things.

"As this now becomes the seventh country Trump has bombed just since being back in office for one year, cui bono, who benefits? It seems like a disturbingly easy qustion to answer.

Well, with this president, sadly, we keep learning over and over that the easiest answer is almost always the truest one."

The UK’s first geothermal power plant was switched on this morning in Cornwall, providing a completely new type of renewable electricity for the country. The United Downs plant, which uses water that has been super-heated by rocks some three miles below ground, will generate enough electricity to power 10,000 homes, while also powering Britain’s first commercial-scale lithium plant.

i think "vulgar language" in this context is not

"fuck you you fuckity fuck"

i think it is

"you {bigoted slur} you {bigoted slur}, go {self-harm} or i will {threat of violence}"

We finally took care of Shadow's remains today. Most of his ashes are under the plaque, and the rest spread around his favorite napping spots.
