The UK- a pub analogy.
When Scotland buys a round, Scotland pays.
When Wales buys a round, Wales pays.
When England buys a round, they buy themselves a drink, tap someone to buy us a drink, then make us pay for our own and then stick the change in their pocket.

The Global “Spanish” Flu Pandemic of 1918 started on midwestern American army bases, and this is a pretty good illustration of why/how. Thousands of farm boys crammed into close quarters for the first time created conditions for a virgin soil epidemic. Lady Liberty here was a superspreader event.

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Well, yeah. They don't even like frigging Los Angeles or Chicago. They invaded us & have done everything they can to tank our economies.
Resistance to their authoritarianism is their issue.
