La tua musica.

SIR, DOES THIS MEAN THAT ANN-MARGRET ISN’T COMING? The watermelons promised threatened us a bright, new future where all cars are electric and are powered by batteries. Well, it turns out they didn’t think that through very well. China is the world’s top producer of Lithium. The US has some lithium deposits, but it turns out those are all on land which is either claimed to be sacred to Native Americans, or is the home of super-important “fragile ecosystems and wildlife.”

DON’T DARE CALL IT A SHITHOLE: Since 1990, at least 82 people have been murdered over alleged blasphemy in Pakistan, according to an Al Jazeera tally. Five of those killings took place last year alone, including mobs stoning and burning victims to death. And the evidentiary standards are pretty low, apparently all someone has to do is have a dream that someone committed blasphemy, and that’s justification for slitting the throat of the alleged blasphemer.

One of the parents, Beth Ann Rosica, argued that under the Pennsylvania school code districts have no authority to require students to wear masks. Other ways to remove school board members, without recourse to the woodchipper.

WHEN HELL FROZE OVER: The ACLU opposed a California  bill requiring parents to tell school officials if they keep guns at home. The bill failed its first committee vote. Bill sponsor Sen. Anthony Portantino and supporters said it could help prevent mass shootings. Yeah, right. But expect to see this nonsense crop up again, and spread to other states.

A SLAP ON THE WRIST: FEC fines Hillary and Dems for “misreporting” Steele dossier. At least it’s something.

 

NASA CHANGES UP, DELAYS MARS SAMPLE RETURN MISSION: Mars Rover Perseverance, currently on Mars, collects mineral samples, seals them up in numbered tubes, and drops those tubes on the Martian surface for later retrieval by another robot which will collect them, then load them into a rocket which will return the samples to earth. Originally the sample-retrieving robot and sample-return rocket were going to land together as one unit; now they will land separately and sample return will be delayed until 2033.
