I remember when Sam Donaldson said of the Monica Lewinsky revelations that "if true" the Clinton administration had days not weeks.
The revelations were of course true. Clinton stayed in office until the end of his term, survived impeachment and had very positive polling throughout.
So I am not so sanguine about terrible news being the end of a Democrat administration. The Dems are fantastic at sliding that Overton Window.

Rhodesia was once the principal exporter of all table grapes to the EU. Very big in wine export too.
Zimbabwe liberated the people from that burden. Replaced high tech commercial agriculture with subsistence farming.

Speaking of Uranus, remember when they discovered it has rings like Saturn's, they're just invisible from earth because they're turned edgewise to us?
I remember because it was Christmas or Thanksgiving and the family was gathered together, including all of us grown-up kids. I was in the same room as my brother, who was reading Time magazine, and he said "Have you heard? They've discovered rings around Uranus!" and I said "Rings around my WHAT?!?! . . . . ooooh, the planet."

Uranus does have rings. But Uranus' axis- and rotation- is tilted severely, almost perpendicular to the plane of the solar system, as are its rings

Zimbabwe-Rhodesia was transforming itself rapidly into a 1st world economy. It was well on its way to becoming western Europe's high end grocery store.
They found a cure for that.
They also discovered that land reform doesn't work very well without capital for fertilizer, farm equipment, irrigation systems, etc.

Yeah, okay, well, I had an emergency bowel resection in October. Some kind of blockage. It was a close call but yay the doc saved me. Since then, I've had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, another colonoscopy, two cat scans, and an MRI. They've all been inconclusive - for sixteen weeks now, no idea what the thing is. Possibly cancer lump. Might be a bad bite of overcooked cauliflower-crust pizza. More exploration ahead.
So, I guess you could say, no news is good news. So far. But I'm never having cauliflower-crust pizza again!

Nigel Kneale was a genius - you can view two of the three Quatermass tv serials on Internet Archive. His The Stone Tape is also brilliant - exploring X Files territory long before Chris Carter came along. Great social critic/prophet too, predicting reality tv and its lurid excesses forty years before there was a hint of it. I still think Paddy Chayefsky cribbed from him in Network.

Notably removal of documents or imagery from a SCIF. There is no internet or email even possible. Somebody stole those documents, or took pictures of them, etc. Absolutely no fucking way they could get on a computer server without black letter law Federal Felonies. USC Title 18 blah blah.

Astronomer (and composer) William Herschel, who first discovered Uranus in 1781, reported seeing rings as far back as 1789.
Others didn't see anything for years, but they were finally confirmed in 1977. Herschel apparently did accurately describe one of the major rings as known now.

At work, back in the 90s, they had voice message recorders that were hooked to each office phone. Not tape anymore but digital. This was a very large office of engineers. One time some guy's wife called while he wasn't there and started leaving a message.
We all heard this because it was set to speaker somehow. She started going into sweet then mushy then sexy, and a bunch of us started gathering and a manager was trying to put it to mute then started extremely detailed descriptions of what she planned for various parts of his body but the manager pulled the cord out ripping the carpet.
That guy had a hard time for a while.

From what I remember reading, a room of 'experts', something like 20 or so at some science conference, decided to redefine Pluto out of its planetary status. Pluto has a friggin' moon, FFS, 4 of them. Just because Pluto is way out there distance-wise, who the hell is to decide what 'way out there' is when it comes to space objects viewed from Earth? Everything is way out there, including Democrats right here on this planet.

The current IAU definition of planet, which they hammered out in 2006 is thus:
1) In orbit around the Sun
2) Is in hydrostatic equilibium
3) Has "cleared the neighborhood" of debris
Note 1) means this applies only to our Solar System. There is no definition of exoplanets yet.
2) basically means "is roughly spherical/round". Mercury and even Mars aren't technically in hydrostatic equilibrium, but they are planets. A sufficiently massive body could not be odd shaped. You could not have cube shaped object above a certain mass (unless you had some very, very strong and exotic material to hold that shape)
3) When an object gets big enough, it begins to gravitationally dominate it's near neighborhood. You could not for instance, have a massive body in about the same orbit as Earth. There would be collision or ejection event. (You can come close, see Trojan orbits, or "co-orbits" in general)

Indeed.
Imagine a cube about the mass and size of the earth. Imagine the environment near the corners and edges. The local g vector would not be tangent to the surface, but pointing toward the center of mass. Locally, there would be strong side-ways forces.

The lines were codified at the 1920/23 Paris peace conference.
Putin didn't put a specific date on it but it was around the turn of the century.
The 1900 and before maps, none of them, back to 1850, had a hint of Ukraine. The 1914 map cratered my browser several times. And the 1917 German war map, out of the blue, had Ukraine on it.
Putin said it was a western conjecture and by maps, which we all use to define political boundaries agree.
That's the framework. I have no meat for the bones.

Absolutely - the Orthodox Church and its culturally Greek-centered worldview was to Eastern Europe what the Catholic Church and its culturally Latin (late Roman)-centered worldview was to Western Europe. The carry-over effect of the Great Schism that persists to this day.

Blame NATO.
In the late '90s, those in the know were complaining about expanding NATO into Ukraine. We made a promise to Yeltsin we would not do that, then we did.
The thing people may not get from Putin's long history lesson is that history's effect on the Russian psyche. Russia was invaded by two major armies bent on conquest, The Grand Armee and The Wehrmacht, with high loss of life and Moscow burned in 1812. Then there's the whole Holodomor event which Putin, I believe, glossed over and was a big reason for Ukrainians viewing the Nazis as liberators and joining them to fight the commies. Ukraine-Russian history is quite complicated, much too complicated for our State Department and those in this Administration.

Except for Trump and a select few others, Putin is miles above our pols in statesmanship. I don't think any Democrat could discourse on American history for 45 minutes, and we're only talking, what?, 400 years or so, not the millennia plus of Russian history.
To this day, I feel we missed a great opportunity after the Wall fell and Yeltsin took over. But our stupid Cold Warrior neocons couldn't take the 'W' and wanted to continue the conflict for monetary gain, hence the problem with NATO from Russia's perspective.
And to add, I grew up in Norfolk, home of NATO's Joint Command headquarters, or at least it was at that time. My friend's Mom was the librarian there and she had a low level security clearance. Had a German army lieutenant in one my college History classes.

Not one of those for aimes makes any sense at all. So now Russia was provoked to invade Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of soldiers? I hate it when that happens.

When was you focused on antagonizing The Horde by means of micro-argumentative nonsensical picayune antagonisms, which you could dissect by means of your (admittedly) superior argumentative skills.
Vs. any really heavyweight debates over Adam Smith or Thomas Sowell or even P.J. O' Rourke.
When you weigh in with your not inconsiderable intellect on subjects which really matter, you'll notice, there's hardly a pip or squeek issued in objection, thereof.
You can really f'kn' MATTER, when you choose to join the debates which really DO f'kn matter.
And that's when you're really at your f'kn, best, too, you know. Ditch the picayune. You don't need to GO there.

Thanks for the nice words above. The admiration, if I am permitted to be sol bold, is certainly mutual
I agree with you and Ike, just trying to figure out how everything fits together.
It woud seem that the mic has become deep state which has become the surveillance industrial complex.
Any I agree just trying to describe the agreement.

He's swapped out the whole apparatus and it's getting worse as he loses his front teeth. He shaves every night and has the mask strapped as tight as possible, but I suspect his airflow is not what the mask was designed for (he's already had sinus surgery and a uvulectomy). The VA is willing to pay for his dental work, but his provider has to be approved and that could take another two months. So, we wait... and I try to sleep on the couch.

I knew a couple of Ukrainian families in the '50s. They distinguished themselves from Russians then. I worked with three guys (techs) in the '90s who bot really pissed if anyone thought they were Russian. This doesn't apply to the Crimea and vicinity, because Stalin imported a bunch of Russians to replace the Ukrainians he had starved out.
Ukrainians have a real hard-on about Russians. Look up Holodomor.
There's an area, today, labeled "Ukraine" where the people cal, themselves "Ukrainians". Do you think that Texas should be given "back" to Mexico because some map from the early 1800's has "Mexico" written over San Antonio.

Just a drive-by:
1) Please have jewells reach out to me
2) I lived in the Canadian Prairies for a decade. Never met a self identified Russian, but Ukrainians? They're angels in the architecture there.
Ask someone obviously of that background to explain. Trust people, not institutions.

BDSM and kink scenes come with the need for a great
deal of concentration, a lot of emotional intensity,
and physical requirements (such as dealing with pain, tying knots,
etc.). Bringing up the rear, SM is a nod to sadism, or liking to inflict pain, and masochism,
liking to receive it. Anti-abortion campaigners argue there is an alternative to legalising abortion which is
