I am not an Entomology prof at the U of Kansas, but we share a moniker. What I know about sorghum headworms would fit in the glovebox of a Nash Metropolitan.

If our thoughts are so constrained that all we admire is an ideology, and all we detest is another ideology, our world is reduced to politics.

It's okay if you don't have the exact job you want. You take the H1-B and do your speed-run to retirement and the taxpayers take it from there.

We tried this experiment. I recommend looking at the data.

I have some thoughts about that first Escort. Even the dealer referred to it as "stripped". In looking back, I think it may have been a special order and the original sale fell through. In any event, that little buggy was a blessing to me.

@JMGreerWriter I bought 3 Escorts until Ford stopped making them. The first one was a manual stick with no radio. The dealer was giving it away. It was what I needed. I was a bank teller back then.

@ChristianHeiens If the inferior courts are out of line, @scotus has to bring them around. Congress only has very tough blunt instruments to discipline wayward judges.

BREAKING: Italy officially suspends Schengen travel with Spain, ordering sea & air border closures amid the Ceuta migrant crisis.

@ZaidJilani Yes, particularly if the opposition has to rush through a change in the statute of limitations to make the accusation judiciable before election day. Yes. In that case the accusation alone does not bear much weight.

Merz has secretly plan to advance NATO to stop German opposition party - The Telegraph

In the case of a federal state being run by the AFD, Merz will block that state from security briefings and take away the powers that Federal States still have.

Germans increasingly disagree with Merz and move to the opposition AFD party, which favors peace in Ukraine and promotes reestablishing beneficial ties with Russia.

The German pro-NATO establishment kept AFD down after they were winning an election, by creating an artificial coalition of the losers. However, now is the time when AFD will likely win an outright majority, in some federal states, and therefore artificial coalitions are no longer a solution.

And what an indictment of UK energy policy.
Years (nearly two decades, now) of Conservative and Labor mismanagement of a huge national resource.

Look after @Rainmaker1973 for me, will ya? Thanks and a hat tip.

@Theo_TJ_Jordan I would only use that for a pre-adolescent. For an adolescent male busy in the world it's okay to rush "Mister" like they do in responses to University applications. If it's genuine and intended well, it does no harm and can help with self-image.

[JP Michaud @immeesh]

@Theo_TJ_Jordan I even like "Master" for a young man. I was quite surprised when I saw that directed in print to little old me. A decent honorific well-meant doesn't hurt, and it hints at better things to come.

@cremieuxrecueil Although the flu research on "humanized" mice has gone quite well, I hear.

@jeffreytucker An occasional wistful glance at the old bank balance should suffice, Tony. Savor the moment all the way to the bank.

@Slow_Wulf @yonann It's a little symphony of ornament, style, mechanical precision, fitness of purpose. All right there on your wrist. 2/

[JP Michaud @immeesh]

@Slow_Wulf @yonann If I can help a little? I think it is the appeal that all this artistry is executed in a few square inches. What's more - it is not a pure blank canvas. You must use "watch language" for the object to work well as a watch. 1/

@musclegeat @EricRSammons Such a shame. In those days it was just a strategic asset on the Baltic.

[JP Michaud @immeesh]

@musclegeat @EricRSammons Oh, I didn't know they Sovietized the town. From its colorful past, it sounds like it would be a good tourist attraction if it kept its charm.

@Maxwellpainn Nigel Hawthorne smiles. "Yes, Minister." "Now, I have in mind a blue ribbon commission to get to the heart of this matter."

🚨 BOOM! Bill Pulte just confirmed he fired 30% of the intel workforce! 

His message:

The intelligence community exists to protect Americans, not the political whims of a bloated, corrupt elite.

Democrats are losing their minds because the new guy running the shop actually wants to clean house.

Meanwhile Jay Clayton is about to get confirmed and they tried to ambush him over an FBI raid in Fulton County that he didn’t even prepare for.

Same playbook:

Demand “experience” when it’s their people.
Scream “dangerous” when it’s ours.

The swamp is getting drained and they hate it.

@conor64 I concur. The Times lost this exchange, for sure. If anyone is looking for a 'token conservative' , Ross isn't it, and never will be.
