Shahidul Alam: #Bangladesh was ready to explode. I was there with the students.
What comes next will determine whether my country can find lasting change.

"Before long, demand for fair government job opportunities transformed into a broad movement for dignity and basic rights. Fear and repression might have worked for Hasina for the past 15 years, but when people are prepared to brave bullets in the streets, you know there’s no going back. The students’ foremost demand was that Hasina apologize. That simple act might have saved her. Her hubris, it turns out, would spell her doom."

I love trains, when the Hyperloop first started getting talked about I was so excited, and so far nothing. The technology for cheap fast travel already exists, we could have already been well on our way to efficient and very fast coast to coast travel in America.

Elon Musk has admitted Hyperloop was a B.S. operation to prevent actual high speed train lines from being built in California. And sell more Tesla cars.

Wollen wir ihm wirklich glauben? Woidke bekräftigt Rücktritt im Falle eines AfD-Wahlsieges journalistenwatch.com/2024/09/… “Was kümmert mich mein Geschwätz von gestern”.- dieser viel zitierte Spruch wird dem ehemaligen Bundeskanzler Konrad Adenauer zugeschrieben.

Every so often I write about my newsletter, The Reframe: how it's doing, where it's going, and why somebody might want to pay.

If you value my work on here, this may be of interest. If you don't value it, I'm sorry you're seeing this. Blame the algorithm.

One Question. Back when you've made the switch from substack, you told something about trying to transfer the subscriptions over to your new platform. Has that worked out?

It's bright and sunny and 64⁰F/18⁰C BeetBear and I decided to clean up the pole bean remains today. It's quite tedious to unwrap the stalks from the netting, but we got it done! I always wonder at the relentless counter-clockwise winding of the stems. Time to go in for a tomato sandwich! Also took time to admire a sunflower volunteering in the derelict tomato patch.😀
