April 30th; Saturday. Turns out that Arctic ice isn't vanishing after all.

April 29th; Friday. Noam Chomsky describes Trump as statesman of stature.
April 28th; Thursday. An actual hot day, where sometimes the sun was so bright that streets got wider and bus-and-car windows became rippling strips of dazzle. So I find myself sitting limply on a bench on Andrassy street at Oktogon, catching my breath, when a 'bing' noise alerted me to something from a fast-passing vehicle on the far side of the avenue. A slim hoop of rusty wire, perhaps 15" across, with one clipping kink, bounced onto the road, rolling purposefully towards me. It crossed three lanes of the street, bounded up onto the kerb, and came to a gentle rest against my left leg. It very much felt as if the object was saying hello. I took it home.
France announces new digital ID plan.

April 27th; Wednesday. Engineer friend 3 or 4 nights ago over cider, vermouth, and freshly peppered sliced beef, tells me Romanian girls are the "anti-tank-cannon-loaded MiG-29s of Balkan women", requiring, he says, "a specially firm hand from the pilot", due to aerodynamic instability and difficult handling.
April 26th; Tuesday. Still inside the building, I found a young mother struggling to get a pram down the six stairs just by the lift. She graciously refused my offer of help, but let me open the main door onto the street with its time-release buzzer for her. I asked her if there was a baby in the pram, and she whisked aside an improvised curtain to reveal a small cute baby peeping out at me perkily from under lots of bedding. It looked friendly, and quite pleased with life so far. I asked how many weeks and the mother proudly said Oh no, five months already, and then she added "We're a big girl now", exactly as some people in English might: 'we' but singular 'girl'.
Meanwhile US health-agency Mephistopheles Tony Fauci literally demands he and the medical putschists be above any law.

April 25th; Monday. Why is China's military so corrupt? / China's mysterious folk heroes - the "credit knife men".
April 24th; Sunday. Two informative soldiering videos: The role of the mortar (the subject - as far as I recall - of the verb "to stonk") / Tanks versus infantry?

April 23rd; Saturday. How the spike protein in covid-19 and the mRNA vaccines damages human hearts.
April 22nd; Friday. Two more recreational-maths videos: Discs inside a rectangle / Shrink proofs.

April 21st; Thursday. A rather extreme American politics (perhaps originally oil) consultant called Peter Ziehan. Here he is with some confidently-titled video talks: How Russia Will Die / The End of Kazakhstan / How China is Going to Vanish. For a little bit of balance, here is Peter Ziehan is Wrong about China.
April 20th; Wednesday. Analysis of covid-19-vaccine side effects.

April 19th; Tuesday. Remember when a police state was a country where you needed permission to leave? Apparently now Australians who refuse to get the mRNA gene therapies for covid-19 cannot legally leave Australia. A prison colony once again.
April 18th; Easter Monday. Jocular short films explaining bits of maths: Triangular squares / Pascal's 10th row / So only in the 1950s was it discovered that 1+3+5+...+(2n-1) = n squared generalises up? / A fair rent problem solved with little triangles.

April 17th; Easter Sunday.
April 16th; Saturday.

April 15th; Good Friday.
April 14th; Thursday. Plans for vaccine tattoos and AI-designed vaccines.

April 13th; Wednesday. Paper trail suggests Moderna made covid-19 in the lab.
April 12th; Tuesday. A research paper about mRNA-vaccine-induced brain damage. Another research paper: how the protein in both covid-19 and the covid vaccine induce brain damage.

April 11th; Monday. 4 days ago, Britain's government began hiding data that shows vaccinations increase sickness & death.
April 10th; Sunday. A couple of Bill Bailey musical-comedy monologues: 1970s detectives driving in a funky way / The Dr Who theme reimagined as Belgian jazz.

April 9th; Saturday. Some intriguing popular linguistics videos: Was there a lost African Romance language? / Why do West Africans keep inventing new scripts? / Why are there so many languages in the Caucasus?
April 8th; Friday. CIA officer who signed letter in support of suppressing evidence of Hunter Biden's laptop before the 2020 election openly brags he helped to subvert Trump's election win. Dispute over tampered 2020 election continues in Wisconsin.

April 7th; Thursday. Most-vaccinated US counties have highest rates of covid-19.
April 6th; Wednesday. WHO treaty overriding member nations' constitutions.

April 5th; Tuesday. Peter McCullough: the covid-19 injection is "far more dangerous than advertised."
April 4th; Monday. Plans unfold to alter every population's DNA without our consent.

April 3rd; Sunday. Hungary has a national election today. By the evening it turns out that 1) Orban's Fidesz party has not only been returned to power but has returned to power with a constitution-changing 2/3 majority. 2) The alliance of parties opposing Orban did badly. 3) A new party, Mi Hazank (Our Homeland), successfully entered Parliament with 7 MPs via the national list. This is a splinter group from the nationalists Jobbik after Jobbik tried to move towards the centre, and MH is the only party openly opposing mandatory vaccination and digital-ID vaccine passes.
April 2nd; Saturday. Mark Zuckerberg actively interfered in the US 2020 election?

April 1st; Friday. "15 Fully-Vaccinated Tennis Players Unable to Finish Miami Open."
