  1. Kettle calling the pot black ? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jan/02/china-moon-nasa-space-race
  2. If it all goes away that quietly I'd be surprised. Trump's election was a symptom of a diseased society. The disease isn't being treated. It will resurface. It's like a nasty STD. If you don't treat the root causes it will always come back. Next time they might get a smarter " Trump like leader ".
  3. I thought this was an excellent article on some of the causes/ results / possible outcomes of the Russian invasion. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/26/ukraine-war-revenge-of-history-how-geopolitics-shaping-conflict
  4. Hmm. How can something be funny, scary, disturbing, disgusting, ridiculous, moronic, and weird all at the same time ? And packed into such a tiny clip. That's the real question.
  5. As Spock would say, " Fascinating " https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/dec/01/scientists-simulate-baby-wormhole-without-rupturing-space-and-time
  6. Back in the 90s I was working in a mine in the northern Canada. We had a Croatian bull cook ( assisted the cook, cleaned rooms..... ) in camp. He was a jovial, friendly, always smiling, joking with everyone guy that everyone loved. One day the foreman and I were watching a foreign movie on the rec room TV ( it was a sweet camp ). It was about a family trying to get into the west from the Serbia, Macedonia, Turkey area. Y#### had come in the room and was standing behind where we were sitting.At some point my foreman said " Y#### who are these people ? " There was no answer so he asked again and we both turned and looked at him. I can only describe his face as a picture of hate,anger, disgust. I have seen lots of angry men but never a look of pure, utter hatred. It was shockjng. He then literally spat out. " They're peasants ! Dirty filthy peasants ! " and stormed off. I'm not sure what he had gone through or what his life experiences were . The Croatian war was on and he had always said he wasn't going back till the war was over. I've met and dealt with lots of people who were racist, or anti gray, ....etc but never before or since seen a look like that. Close to terrifying.
