That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Just waiting on proper details of what Nelson manedlas nephew's axe rampage involved.

No, ive not made that up. It was in his Palace. Apparently he's a king. Who knew?

He's a fun guy. Highlights from Wikipedia:

QuoteIn May 2005, he was indicted for fraud, murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and arson at the Mthatha High Court, and was subsequently convicted.

QuoteIn July 2014, a group of Thembu chiefs wrote to President Jacob Zuma requesting that Dalindyebo be removed, claiming he was an "evil king" and "not fit to rule".

QuoteDalindyebo has since been customarily dethroned, and is expected to be administratively dethroned in the near future.The Presidency has now apparently withdrawn his kingship, while no decision has as yet been taken on a replacement. The Dalindyebo family has been evicted from the royal household and Dalindyebo has now been removed from the payroll as King

QuoteAccording to reports in local newspapers the deposed king arrived at the royal residence, called The Great Place, at 2am on the morning of 13 March 2020 carrying an axe and proceeded to attack the current acting king Azenathi and his wife, who was later hospitalised. In an attempt to escape Azenathi reportedly jumped out of the window of the palace.

Wikipedia was about as far as I got, so now 60 open tabs on shit I have no idea about. It's a system I've never really looked at and as always it seems to be utterly hilarious.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

This has got surprisingly little play, but is an amazing tool to disturb "Russia Hoax" types.

Quote

The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday reaffirmed the accuracy and integrity of a 2017 joint assessment by U.S. intelligence agencies, who determined that Russia's coordinated campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election was meant to benefit President Trump.

The committee's review is the fourth and penultimate chapter resulting from the committee's investigation into the Russian government's actions, a probe that has spanned more than three years.

In its heavily redacted 158-page report, the committee found that the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) commissioned by former President Barack Obama in late 2016 "presents a coherent and well-constructed intelligence basis for the case of unprecedented Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election." The report was unanimously approved by senators on the committee.

Why would Senate Republicans support this all of a sudden?
