CBC: Only hands, feet and guts: Man free-climbs El Capitan in record 8 days

Thinking about… (Timothy Snyder): Decapitation Strike
Imagine that you are a foreign leader who wishes to destroy the United States. How could you do so?

From this perspective, Trump’s proposed appointments — Kennedy, Jr.; Gaetz; Musk; Ramaswamy; Hegseth; Gabbard — are perfect instruments. They combine narcissism, incompetence, corruption, sexual incontinence, personal vulnerability, dangerous convictions, and foreign influence as no group before them has done. These proposed appointments look like a decapitation strike: destroying the American government from the top, leaving the body politic to rot, and the rest of us to suffer.

Aquaculture of oysters, clams and other bivalves has doubled over the last two decades, pushing out more destructive fishing methods. Around 90 percent of bivalves are now farmed.
