Happy St David's day to all who celebrate, or are just perhaps in need of something different to think about.
A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them.
I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran.
So here goes nothing. 🧵
I found the guide written by @parismarx.com v helpful.
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
I don't do recipes much but "an inch of ginger" is my kind of spec.
...then they came for the rich looking white guys
Well worth 60 seconds of your time! 😂😂

Boo. Lack of mobile calling is a real downgrade for some of us (i couldnt handle it) but... not everyone.
Pretty hard to argue with that. And I do love her nonconformist spirit.
This seems v acceptable, perhaps even an improvement. My prospects of getting her to upgrade to a 4g phone are rapidly fading.
Much hilarity here regarding 3G switch off. Wife has not upgraded. Can still send/receive texts and do wifi calling. Can't receive calls or voicemail over moble network but does get txt notification of missed calls.
I saw someone matching this description downtown recently, using a walking frame & with a lit cigarette between her fingers. She was asking for spare change. 😞
That sounds very sus.
so presumably it had all the hallmarks - monolithic, no eaves, 1990s etc - but maybe no actual evidence of leakage today? still dodgy imo
Daughter is trying to buy a house, but every time she finds something suitable the builders report exposes it's expensive faults.
No consolation, but Janet Yellen's husband George explained why this keeps happening back in 1970... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mar...

My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass.
It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved.
I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it.
Please share this...(1)
I liked the Peurto Rican approach & could imagine it being paired with something transferable like a badge with the school logo.
Cake price has tracked flour. In the past year bread has risen sharply.
Looking at a basic loaf of white in the supermarket there is mostly wheat flour, water, and a bit of soy flour (then things present in trace amounts like Baker's yeast), but whatever in the past year has been affecting the bread but not flour price is also an aspect of the market not affecting cake.
Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
Amazing thread about an experiment in pedagogy that engaged students in crafting and carrying out assignments and work in an age of AI and LLMs 👇

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -
My condolences to you & yours Bill. Its a tough thing to go through, and not just for those of us left behind. Love the hawk metaphor.
Tidal is my streaming service - it works really well & seems to have the highest payment rate to artists - so it also has lots of artists 😀
