And his careful control over the British Museum in which only a fraction of the collection went missing.

The enshittifier himself!

Also applies to cars. DPO (Dreaded previous owner) is regularly cursed when wondering why something stupid is uncovered.

Especially on cars that have apparently been "restored".

Oh I'll just run this fuel line along this hot exhaust 😬

Just weld over this rotten panel creating a new rust trap...

And of course the obsession over "family lines" comes directly from the same system that gave the Hapsburg Jaw.

It's the obsession on appearance, and peoples ideas of what breeds should be like (and people have subtly different ideas) that ends up with the sickening health conditions just being ignored or encouraged.

The issue is the easier transport, and less need for dogs to perform specific roles, some rich people decide to try and maintain those types, often to exaggerated effects.

To some extent it's ok, otherwise many types of dog might disappear to be replaced when outcompeted by other types.

I mean, when you're breeding for a purpose, such as to protect your sheep from Wolves, you tend to select positive characteristics.

And when travel is limited it leads to more geographically variety (often convergent though).

Strong Christmas eve, Petrol Station"energy".

I wonder what'll happen to "The spy and his asset" he was apparently working on?

If the West wants leverage in Georgia, the path is proven: name names, sanction enablers, hit money and mobility.

Have they stopped doing it?

What would the fitness test for a Border Collie be?

If you don't exercise their minds they won't get tired.

Up early again 🫩 .. I think it's the pile driving going on.

Forgot to do morning score in bed, but when I did it I "scored" 1.

Pulse was a bit high so have repeated it a little later for a 3.

Had 5 minutes when I felt pretty good. Struggling now.

Every time USA has talked of "Peace" or "ceasefires", Ukraine has shown willingness to compromise.

Russia has never engaged meaningfully at all.

Yet every story is USA attacking Ukraine's position.

Russia is making USA look like gnats piss.

This then falls into the trap of people who perceived that they suffered close passes and thinks others should have to experience it too.
