The Twilight Zone episode “Miniature” always makes me sob. Robert Duvall played a lonely man many today would see as autistic, with such kindness and heart. Like Boo Radley, he made us feel compassion. Thank you for the humanity you gave us, Mr. Duvall.
RIP
But, does it come with a free "get out of jail" pass too?
Minnesota should just apply for admission to Canada's federation. We'd welcome these hearty, peace loving, human rights expecting people.
Expeditionary polar bears.
Please forward to SCOTUS who still haven't quite figured out if Trump's tariffs and tariff threats are covered under S. 232 or other claimed justifications. (Hint to SCOTUS: they aren't.)

Allison killed the RAM/assumption nearly 60 years ago. But the "IR" folks went on to ignore the "FPA" folks for the next few decades.
Bought it, read most of it so far. Really an unknown story, even for most Africanists. And also goes far to help understand the strategy and tactics of the current Biya regime in the ongoing civil war against the two Angolphone regions since 2017, a "Cameroonian way of war."

Deforestation and illegal timber exports in Cameroon are plunging the Congo Basin — the planet's second largest “green lung” — into a genuine environmental crisis and causing widespread and lasting degradation of terrestrial ecosystems.

#Cameroon "official" results have been pushed to Monday, Oct 27th, the very last day allowed by law (15 days after election day):
SECTION 137: The Constitutional Council shall adopt and proclaim the results of the presidential election within no more than15 (fifteen) days of the close of the poll.
Total coincidence.😅😉
In a universe without constitutionalism.
Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.
OK, right. But what if you broaden out the comparison to including concentrators, refining, services, haulage, etc., Chinese players in Copperbelt Prov?
That is a description from multiple scenes of the Purge movie franchise.
What if the report said: "Chinese owned mines dominate the copper sector in the Copperbelt Province, while Canadian-listed firms dominate in NW Province and overall copper production"?
But if we add in the Chinese company ownership in FQM, Canadian "ownership" gets murky.
#Cameroon - Bluesky just doesn't cut it. Over at X, Cameroon twitter is counting all the presidential candidate registrations at #ELECAM which close today. Well over 70 at last count, which highlights various political dysfunctions in the country. Here, Cameroon = the retired goalkeeper N'Kono.
Jason, you may have to come back to Canada sooner than you planned. The MAGA-infused GOP has set the USA on a rapid path to ruin.
I can live with that. Stu stays in net then I assume? Game 4 is usually his turning point too.
Then I'd move an armored regiment from Texas to DC on the pretense of a parade to celebrate 250 years of the Army, declare a national insurrection, close down Congress, circle the Abrams, Bradleys, and Strykers around the White House, and just keep ruling by EO indefinitely.
The #AnglophoneCrisis in #Cameroon continues, and anyone interested in that country or #Africa needs to watch this BBC News documentary to understand this seemingly intractable, hidden but entirely solvable political conflict. Great journalism by Blaise Eyong.#Poli371

Now available for preorder - The Cameroon War: A History of French Neocolonialism in Africa
The shocking history of France's secret war in Cameroon and its neocolonial afterlives.
Important for Albertans, rightfully concerned about federal-provincial relations, to not simply assume the UCP provides a full picture of that history re: the oil patch (or that UCP is carefully managing Alberta's fiscal situation either). #ableg #abpoli t.co/D9ACIURQC1
I bet that net came from Consumers Distributing. Our gang pooled our money together to buy two nets from there circa 1977. I think the total was about $10-12.
