Broken down.
To improve the service, the callout for the breakdown service is online with no need to talk...
...they responded after half an hour. Only got to wait another 60-90 minutes.

We are Christopher Isherwood, watching the violent racist authoritarian lawless scenes in the Berlin street below from our apartment window above.
Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

I am greatly encouraged that Lars Lokke Rasmussen - Denmark's foreign minister - looks like the sort of chap who could avert a schism in the international order.

Flying back from UAE via Cairo, my wallet was stolen; I think in Dubai airport.
No cash, cards or travellers cheques, nuffink.
Gent next to me on the plane put me up for the overnight in Cairo and looked after me. He would not accept anything from me and refused attempts to reimburse him.

Best kitchen in the city in the late 90s and the choice of the rich and shameless.
I had the owner's mobile and could always get a table THAT night; despite a 4 week wait for most.

Hi, I'm a volunteer medic in Minnesota. Please don't share misinformation about "nerve gas." No one has deployed "nerve gas" and we have to dispel Internet rumors like this when we teach activists how to protect themselves.

Anyone who doesn't know what acetylcholine is, please shut up about "nerve gas" and "nerve agents" in Minnesota...
Whether you get run over by a car or a truck, the mechanism of injury and treatment is the same.
A nerve agent is a specific type of toxicant with a different mechanism of action than tear gas.
Can you answer the question below? If not, consider that you are not well-informed about nerve agents...

No achievement unlocked - beard growth by will power alone!
Off work for a few days while I recover from surgery. I’m going to just sit here, willing my beard to grow back quicker.

I had to go to the Council Offices today for the third time in my life:
1. 1991 - a Poll Tax demand when I wasn't even there.
2. 2006 - picking up keys for a garage I was renting.
3. today - returning keys as I no longer want the garage.
Given the pending death of our council, I may never return...

A Very Reasonable Proposal
For the most part I try to make what other folks are doing not my business. Twitter was enabling some pretty horrifying shit for a long time, but putting a "take this child actress's dress off" button on there is a level of "what the fuck are you doing on this site" that is hard to grapple with.
if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this.
It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.
