It's like the human version of what the other mammals are up to. Males have to fight for mating rights. And the males have to be thinned out, violently, and regularly. Special integumented epithelium becomes weaponry; more to fight one's fellows than for protection from predation. It's deeply ingrai...

Journalism has come a long way. Once was a time the news was told as succinctly as possible, getting right at the 'who what where how and why' of it, straight-up. Details followed for the more interested, but the headline was the gist of it. Now, the headline is as likely as not to be deceptive; its...

Biden's show of resistance to Israel's nasty war just evaporated. He caved in and sent some billions of 'aid'. Seemed like a show all along. Another 61 billion to Ukraine should help to get a lot of people killed. Funny how such numbers have lost meaning. The money is invented; created out of thin a...

To be perfectly frank, I would be very surprised if this sort of corruption didn't exist all over the place. I don't think Australians are uniquely virtuous, so that they never use their power to enrich themselves. If there's a way, people find it. I'm not sure America is special in this regard. No...

fun link, arth. i often wondered how or why the non-corrupt can't exist within the state of overall corruption; why the few decent ones either turn bad or end up dead or the media ignores them or trashes them, as if they too are in on it...which, of course, they are. Do people like Jeff Epstein get ...

i've heard they like the children there and celebrate often.My daughter and family lived there for two years; loved it.

Except for the part where we lag behind other nations in education. When I was a kid we really were ahead of the world in education. Now, some pe...

sure you aren't here?
(frogs, rain)

congrats, you two!
very excited for you.
as you must be...
though, as much as you've traveled, maybe it feels normal?

except the retire thing...that's gotta be wild and new.

hope the envy doesn't show.
(though we're glad to be stuck here)


yee-haw!

I'm annoyed at the new direction america has taken. That's why i rag at her...she's become a weapons dealer; a beast with slovenly ways; should know better... the surveillance is creepy and dishonest. The prison population is appalling. Public transport, lacking. Corruption instead of transparency.....

big rain is all. saw some northern lights last 2 nites (2:30 a.m.) bad news here, and most of the eastern U.S., is that the emerald ash borer will infest other trees when they run out of ash. We're seeing the insect more than we had last year. They killed every ash tree on the place. also we caught ...
