In 2020, I wrote a fairly long feature on free expression violations in South Asia, including what happened in Bangladesh. Back then, Sheikh Hasina was in power, and it looked like she had the opposition on the ropes. I'm amazed they've come this far. I'm also a little envious.

The theoretical resignation of both the President and the VP will result in Senate Pres (Tito Sotto) as Acting President, but only temporarily.
A special presidential election must be called within 2 months. The current VP is not barred then from running for President.; she will likely win.

ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE
Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!
