Unavailable in UK. I'll finish Fallout tonight. A very different kettle of weird, irradiated, gruesome and violent fish.

The articles linked in the Reynolds Wonkette piece are informative and interesting. Among various others, the Fritschner and Inskeep stuff were, in my opinion, responses and perspectives worth hearing.
I have no problem with Reynolds' exasperated and sweary language. Often it resonates with and amuses me. His being exasperated and sweary does not mean he is uninformed. .

The Wonkette piece contains links to several interesting and informative reponses to and refutations of Uri Berliner's assertions and accusations from his co-workers and others. Things I'd not seen elsewhere. In the interests of fairness and of being more widely informed, I think they are worth reading. The gift links to the increasingly disappointing NYT, are handy too.
Unlike for Millring, the sweary language in Marty Reynold's article is not a problem for me. Sometimes people swear and I think their writing is not less worth reading on account of that.

Somewhat relatable Finnish word of the day which I learnt on Threads.
Word of the Day: MULTIPASKING (Finnish) - doing many things at the same time, all badly; ‘paska’ is Finnish for ‘shit’.

Since the word "woke" was separated from its African-American origins and repurposed into a sneering insult, not unlike SJW, by conservative culture warriors, politicians* and media, I have heard it used unironically by fewer and fewer serious commentators.
* Even being used in Florida's odious and reactionary W.O.K.E Act

Hi Cribbs. Doing fine here in tediously rainy Bristol. Hope you're well.

I'm a bit crap at figuring out the time signature of lots of songs. Here’s Nick Drake
Iron and Wine.
Edit - Omg! I forgot how much I really bloody love that one.
ETA fanboy live solo version.

As a compulsive straightener-upper of things, I'm feeling a bit twitchy about the untidy and slanted sticker placement.

CO2 emission reduction efforts in the automotive industry are global. The US is not going to be avoiding the trend.
