The $5 billion Tesla “Gigafactory” in
Nevada is currently the world’s biggest battery
manufacturing facility. Its total annual production
could store three minutes’ worth of annual U.S.
electricity demand. Now imagine the amount of mining we have to do in order to build this

Lying Again? The Many Questions for Boris Johnson Over his Support for Ukraine – Byline Times. Very pertinent questions towards the end of this piece. Is it too much to expect the Charlatan to be asked them? Or is client journalism now the only journalism? bylinetimes.com/2023/01/30/lyi

A long read but Gilles has done a public service by translating and publishing this. Puts the contrast between the Wuhan doctors (admirable) and their bureaucratic handlers (awful) in sharp relief.

Noblesse Oblige means that if you are of the ruling class your conduct must be MORE scrupulously investigated and punished than that of your subjects.

I'm going to leave the politics to others. The tax part of the Zahawi story, and therefore my role, feels over. But I wanted to sign off by correcting three takes which we’re going to hear a lot of, and I think are wrong.

Could the failure of public health policy for last 40 years be summed up in a single picture?
Yes, unprecedented, in human history, conversion of 300 million people from normal to obese in 35 years.
Whoever says that obesity in America is largely genetic must explain this:

What happened? The food environment changed, by design.
Food industry profit is maximized by cheap low nutrition ingredients that drive max overeating.
It's an evolutionary process toward a fatter, sicker, infertile population hooked on addictive foods and lifelong daily drugs.

Men defining what a woman is, what women should and shouldn’t fear, what women should and shouldn’t say, what rights women should be fine with giving up and, of course, what constitutes ‘real’ misogyny: get a bloody mirror. That’s real misogyny, looking right back at you.

The weaponized use of "Conspiracy Theory" shines thru the partially unredacted high level scheming. It made conducting investigative journalism into the lab leak #orginofcovid hypothesis very challenging, providing MSM editors with a convenient fig leaf to ignore the "Wild West".

Very similar pattern at universities: growth in administrators versus growth in faculty.
Quote Tweet
The percentage growth in the number of health care administrators compared to that in physicians: That tiny barely-visible yellow sliver at the bottom of the graph is the growth in physicians, and the towering Alpine peaks on top of it is the growth in administrators.

The article below is highly detailed and meticulously researched yet has attracted very minimal attention. It's long but if busy, just read the last section. It has echoes of SARS2 lab leak and overlap in players (Garry, Andersen, Holmes).

So Harry is bragging about the number of his kills in Afghanistan. In nearly 20 years of military service and then another 20 years thereafter I have NEVER EVER heard a soldier brag about kills. He is seriously screwed up.
