In 2016 a glass bottle found buried in the threshold of a man's house was featured in an episode of Antiques Roadshow filmed in Trelissick, Cornwall; glass specialist Andy McConnell tasted a small amount of the contents theorising it was possibly port or wine though he did note the rusty flavour and the presence of nails, a later episode in 2019 then revealed the contents had been analysed by Loughborough University that identified it actually contained "urine, a tiny bit of alcohol, and one human hair" alongside some brass pins dating from the late 1840s and an ostracod. It was theorised to be a witch bottle.[4][5]

Love it!

Here's the thing though: I have no idea which way you think this is biased without reading more of your analysis. Initially I thought you meant the BBC was biased against Vance because it made Walz look more relatable.

Most of the people still supporting Stein are calling Bernie a sellout because he's telling people to vote for Democrats.

In Michigan? Do they?

Anyway I'm already participating in my local government in non-partisan positions.

They have one example in Michigan (where I live), and he ran unopposed for trustee in Fenton Township.

Michigan has 1,240 Townships, 257 villages and 276 cities, and the greens have managed to get one position in one Township by running someone unopposed. Even the Libertarians have done better, as Wikipedia points out four current libertarian office holders in Michigan.

You being anticommunist is what I thought you meant. Those aren’t unrelated.

So you think that what I meant by "I’m more worried about [some people who] make other communists look bad" was that I'm an anti-communist? That seems highly unlikely. If I were anti-communist, surely I'd love those people precisely because they make communists look bad?

I have been acting in good-faith

Literally your first response to me in this entire thread was uncivil condescension.

Communists, Marxists, Marxist-Leninists, etc. Anyone that actually defends AES and doesn’t repeat US State Department Propaganda about the Global South.

Yeah that's not what I mean by Tankies, and it's not what most people mean by tankies. Not all marxist-leninists are tankies, for example. In fact I'd go out on a limb and say most aren't. But those who try to sweep under the rug the bad things that nominally-communist states have done are tankies, and they give other communists, other marxists, other marxist-leninists, and indeed all other leftists a bad name. (As an aside, most of the time those things were done by state-capitalist governments, not communist ones.)

doesn’t repeat US State Department Propaganda about the Global South.

I'm actually from the Global South. I can promise you the US state department is full of shit. As are most Americans who speak about it, including most American leftists.

Please participate in good faith rather than just making accusations.

How about you start by explaining what you think I mean?

This is great to see! We need more green energy all over, and rooftop solar is one of the easiest places to do it.

I think this is a net positive, but I really wish this had more housing and less surface parking. I'd love to see the city start requiring that new developments have most of their parking underground.

 

Spot the deep cuts.

 

I have to say, Socotra is my favourite coffee shop in A2, and yet the Daily doesn't even mention it.
