What Happened to Michael Flynn?


theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Flynn, colleagues told me, would become fixated on an idea and demand that analysts find evidence to support it. This is when DIA executives began to speak derisively of “Flynn facts.” Flynn would say, for example, that Iran had killed more Americans than al-Qaeda had, a claim that could easily be refuted, but Flynn kept repeating it.

That’s what is believed to be the end of the last ice age and the reason so much ice just disappeared.

No, it is not.

I'm still debating as to whether I should have cropped 2mm from the top. Too late now!

Officials finding ways around laws as the West runs out of water

Sad for Phoenix that had to happen. But you cannot pretend things are there that are not there - not when a large corporation has to make a huge investment decision.

Our friendly magpie was back today, foraging for worms and bugs in the backyard, with a new friend, a Pied Currawong.

They seemed to get along ok together.

What's this "Executive Privilege" Bullshit?


in reply to tom grzyb

Very nice. We live in a rural locale, so we have something of a flowery oasis in a wide forest.





This weekend’s #blacksmith project was to make a sign for the split in the driveway and thus negate the need to explain in fine detail which house is ours. The number and arrow are forged from old horseshoes.

Today I learnt that Nyckellharpas are a thing.

in reply to David de Groot 𓆉

Congratulations, you found a rabbit hole!

Those are a big deal in traditional Nordic music. Last Monday I went dancing to a band with four nyckelharpor. (They had two mundane instruments as well, but that's hardly worth mentioning)

It’s nice to expose terrible crimes after they occur, but it’s better to act to stop those crimes before and during commission, when you have the power to do so. It’s essential to seriously punish the crimes after the fact.

in reply to tom grzyb

When it comes to politics, I choose to work at the first, phenomenological level. Anything else leads down an endless rabbit-hole.
in reply to tom grzyb

not putting these revanchist reptiles behind bars guarantees more and harsher political violence, possibly even civil war.

OK, this is hypothetical - but the breaking of laws is not.



We’ve been visited by a very tame magpie. He seems to like peanuts (chopped) but not birdseed. Technically I should feed him mealworms, or earthworms but I don’t have any handy (funny that).

in reply to Calligrafae

I hope he comes back regularly. I'll have to find some more appropriate food for him. Peanuts aren't their regular diet, nor peanut biscuits. (the only things I had on hand).

The canary in the coal mine is dead. He died of heat prostration.

Most seriously, the canary's existence can no longer serve its purpose.
