Why is this on the yoghurt counter? It's a soya plant based nastiness that no self respecting Greek would ever go near.

"My new working arrangements"

Stopped for lunch by a stream, where I also had to empty a forest floor out of my boots…and just about everywhere else! I could be finding twigs for days.

Very peaceful

Over the weekend, more than 100 lawyers quit the US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, as Trump changes their focus from protecting civil rights, to persecuting universities and waging Trump's culture war against #trans gender humans, "wokeness", etc.

It will take a long time to rebuild the federal government once the elephant is finally thrown out of the porcelain shop.

Update: CNN writes 200 lawyers.

Czech Republic declares oil independence from Russia

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala announced this week that the country is now fully independent from the Druzhba oil pipeline for the first time in 60 years. The Czech Republic has started receiving increased shipments of non-Russian oil via the Transalpine (TAL) pipeline. On April 16, the first shipment of oil arrived at a terminal in Trieste, Italy, and was subsequently transported to a central oil storage facility outside Prague, where it will be sent to a local refinery.

Hi.

Autistic person here

RFK Jr. didn’t “misspeak” when he called autism an “epidemic” that “dwarfs COVID.”
That’s eugenicist rhetoric.

We’re not a disease—we’re people.

The spectrum includes those who need support and those building the future. Diagnoses have expanded because understanding has improved—not because autism is “spreading.”

Dehumanizing us is not health policy. It’s dangerous

I know I'm like a broken record on this, but any negative news on the economy (even mildly negative) like this was CONSTANTLY used by the media to justify their relentlessly negative coverage of the economy and approval rating under Biden but isn't getting nearly the level of attention under Trump.

There should be weeks long stories and headlines about this, as well as endless coverage on news shows.
