There is not a system on earth that can withstand the governing coalition simply deciding that they don't have to enforce the laws against themselves.
The Constitution doesn't have a law against a Trump because it assumes that a Trump would not be permitted by the unspoken rules of gentlemanly society to ascend to the Presidency.
And after January 6th, the Founders would have expected the mastermind to be, at least, in prison.

So much of our constitution was made worse by the incredibly wrong... I won't even call it belief, maybe "delusional hope" that we wouldn't have political parties, cults of personality, or enough bad (or just weak) actors in enough places to compromise checks and balances.

Give a man a bee, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to be, well now you've really done it. Look at him. He's contemplating things. He's experiencing futility.

Has anyone done a really big survey asking not how you would vote in rerun Brexit referendum but how you *did* vote and, as far as is possible, if it even is possible, mapped it onto actual result. I bet more people now think they voted remain in 2016 than voted remain.

Caracals are extremely cool, but they are absolutely not supposed to be in the house with you.
just watched a few dozen videos from the TikTok account of the people who own a caracal cat which very clearly should not be a pet and wants to kill them (every video is like this)

We don’t do court reports, especially when it comes to violent crime, but there’s always an exception.

Judging by the number of people who’ve said they have a copy, everyone’s already read it, but today’s the official publication date of The Essence, so there we go.

Didn’t see the first rug for about half an hour – Tasselled Wobbegong – thirteen footer. You know how you know that when you’re in the water, Chief? You tell by lookin from the tassels to the muppet mouth. Yknow, the thing about a rug? He’s got lifeless weave, black weave, like a doll’s weave.
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
