Thank you for posting all this content here jeffw I appreciate it.

Not one word here about Gaza

Every word of that sentence made it worse. Flip those patents straight to heck

Okay that clears up a lot. So if the President manages military and foreign relations, does the PM manage bureaus? Who creates the budget?

Merci! This is well written. Good luck to you!

Thank you for the reply. Can you explain the bit about ‘dissolve the Parliament’? What does that entail?

Prime Minister Attal? I thought that was Macron?

Can someone ELI5 this system of government for me. I’m in the US where I’ve got a pretty good grasp on our Democratic Republic but I get a little confused by places that have President and Prime Minister. Also what does it mean when they say something like “Keir Starmer will try to form a government….”

She had antennae like black snakes, and right away I knew she was trouble.

You know when you see a minivan completely covered in homemade signs about trump and Jesus and illuminati and stuff? Like it looks so unhinged that you just feel bad for the mental health of the person driving it?

That’s what this ad looks like. It looks like how Trump thinks. Unwell.

I bet they were remembering the story of the Egyptian Archaeologists who discovered a jar of honey and they all had a taste. Then they found a fetus in the jar.

Oh you know what- Snopes says it didn’t happen! It’s maybe just an urban legend.

I mean to be fair, there’s nothing you can write on a bomb that makes it better

“Hope this message finds you well”

“Tell your mother I said thank you for the birthday card”

“Save 10% at checkout when you enter the code FREEPALESTINE”

Is he still able to vote?

Frack. That’s sucks

Well, for once the police managed to stop a shooting before it took place.

Dude awesome. I mean you gotta hand it to them. Killing it with affordable electric cars, solar panels and now this. It’s a step in the right direction, and that’s more than you could say about UK

I’m a rugged individualist! So long as Trump says that’s okay

Ya for sure mosquito larva, however mosquitos and their larva are delicious snacks for bats and dragonflies. It’s all part of the big picture, I guess. I’ve been thinking about doing a little pond like this. We have a bat box but no bats yet. Of course I don’t want mosquitos but I have seen dragonflies and bats at night so I think nature would balance. We’ll see! I would just be so happy to see a little frog. Little wet man. Wet little boy with a big happy mouth.

So that’s where our PNW rain went

No

Does it force them to make affordable EVs? Or to make EVs?

On one hand, Biden is doing more for the climate than any other US president, but on the other hand this is clearly not enough. While Americans are blocked from buying the affordable Chinese EVs that would shift us away from fossil fuels, Biden tells American auto makers they have until 2030 to ‘ramp up production’ of EVs. People want to drive clean cars but more than anything they want to afford. American EVs are still unaffordable for most people and this move will do little to change that now or after 2030 when there will still be no incentive for Ford/ GM to compete with China. To be clear, this is far more than Trump or Haley or Phillips would do and that’s a step in the right direction but we need giant leaps right now. Tell me you wouldn’t drive a brand new BYD if it was $10,000 like it is in China.
