Are the working poor of today better off than the kings of old? I provide one reason to think they are, and describe some of my adventures in international travel, and a really nifty pair of cuff links I bought in a charity shop for the princely sum of £2. Also a discussion of the finer details of nuclear waste disposal, in the context of asininity at Asse. Unfortunately this show was interrupted in the middle by some kind of network failure.

Good news from Boca Chica, with a logistical note to say that nobody is going to Mars in 2026 ; hopeful news from outstate Michigan ; downright stupid news from Fairbanks, and some kind of answer to the question “what goes into a $200 million airplane, anyway?” ; bad news from Taiwan ; “is Europe failing?” ; and a meditation on what is and is not “political” which reflects on a great deal of other news.
