This is hardly the first effort made to hide the fallout of the disastrous “let it rip” approach to COVID.

Privatizing tests, removing test centers, institutionally minimizing disease outcomes, and ignoring Long COVID are just some of the tactics governments are using.

To be fair, the "of course" is the inevitable course the case takes in the US, which has no prospects of being heard in the UK nor represented by UK baristers.

Being aware of the differences betwixt the UK and the US I was attempting a sort of translative explainer...anyway, in the due course of things in the US the next step in the legal process is to appeal to the US Supreme Court. The interesting bit is to see if they stick with conservative "states rights" or go rogue.

So yeah our big union just announced, officially, what we all knew: no deal really soon and we’re going to an unlimited general strike in early 2024.

Dec 12 EWE: COP28 — Revealed: more than 160 representatives with climate-denying track records got Cop28 access. The true number is probably significantly higher as only the most prominent bodies were included in the analysis. Some of the groups have been coming to the UN climate talks for years. theguardian.com/environment/20 #ClimateCrisis

'Singing sands' are sands that emit audible sounds when in motion. This phenomenon occurs in many parts of the world where sand grains that are round enough and contain the proper silica content and humidity, emit a vibration as they slide down the slopes of a dune.

ONE WINTER NIGHT UNDER GLORY

Beneath frigid sky, snow bright
sparkling stars over fallow fields
lightly twinkle. Winter is falling.
White lace rolls
down icy hillside, shivering branches.
Warmed by deep blood flow,
wonders of intensity,
wild like invigorating breath,
the joy of being alive.

The US has a Supreme Court whose majority were appointed by US "conservatives", modern version of which is easily paralleled to Tories, right down to the Tory belief in royalism--a single head of state with the sole divine right to rule.

The difficulty this lastest edition of "conservative" has is with establishment conservativism which has always championed "states rights". Under the established "conservative" belief is that Colorado has uninfringeable power to make the decision it has made.

Should the US Supreme Court judge otherwise, it moves from "conservative" to "rogue".

Stormy outside, almost 2am and these just came out the oven. Wish scents could travel.

Colorado gets the whole weed thing rolling and now they are placing enormous pressure on a conservative SCOTUS bench to follow the Constitution.

And people say stoners are lazy...
