So education wise, Democrats have the stronger base in formal education, including history, politics, economy, law, philosophy, geography, social science, media literacy, science, and the understanding of science. That becomes visible when so many MAGA supporters think tariffs are paid by foreign countries, not by importers and consumers at home and also Trump/MAGA have attacked universities, experts, science, media, courts, and institutions, do not makes it much better.

The MG ZS EV being the exception but they were the first and other options were few, my theory proven by the MG4 success. Seems like EV owners prefer a new shape to go with the new technology. Maybe Toyota were worried that they might go the same route as Honda . Who had a winning format with the HR-V , slotting in nicely between the CR-V and the ever popular Jazz. Gave the HR-V a hefty makeover and introduced a HEV version ( as the Jazz gave way to the City ) but then decided to bolt on a traction battery to create the e:N1 ( remember that ?? ) which promptly faded into obscurity. They tried a reboot with the e:N2 ….. yup, I had never heard of it either !! but the damage was done and Honda and EV will not be seen in the same sentence for a long time to come I feel. Toyota tried to avoid Honda’s mistake with the bz4x but created a monster with an uninspiring exterior and interior, average specs and a price way over the Chinese rivals. They could have played it safer and copied the Corolla/Yaris Cross successes but probably frightened off by Honda’s attempt with the e:my, enly, e:ln ….. what is it called again ?? they went with another bland looking car with big chunks of plastic bolted on to represent futuristic technology, think CH-R !!Tue, 02 Jun 2026 02:31:06 +0000I’ve started a crowdfunding petition to help him pay for the way the rest of us get relief from a local to address the need.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 02:30:31 +0000The article from the Independent newspaper, linked to below, encapsulates the current state of US politics.

The cross-border exchange began late on 31 May and continued into the early hours of 1 June. Local sources reported that the Assam Rifles, India’s paramilitary border force, fired heavy weapons 13 times from Manipur’s Tengnoupal District towards Min Thar village, a junta stronghold about a mile from the frontier. Myanmar forces responded with three rounds of counter-battery fire. Residents said the shelling was sudden and intense, though no casualties have yet been confirmed. “They have a habit of firing randomly and unexpectedly,” one witness told Mizzima, describing intermittent blasts through the night. Military intelligence suggests Min Thar hosts around 300 personnel, including junta troops, Pyu Saw Htee militias, the Shanni Nationalities Army, and Meitei and Naga insurgents opposed to India. Most civilians have long fled, leaving only a handful aligned with the military administration. The timing of the clash is notable. Just hours earlier, Min Aung Hlaing met India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval alongside senior ministers and generals. State media framed the talks as efforts to strengthen friendship and defence cooperation. Yet the shelling of a junta base underscores the volatility of the frontier and the complex security dynamics at play. At the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Min Aung Hlaing remains in India on an official visit until 3 June. The juxtaposition of diplomatic overtures in Delhi and Indian shells falling on the border highlights the fragile balance India must navigate: engaging Myanmar’s military leadership while confronting armed groups and instability along its northeastern edge. -2026-06-02Tue, 02 Jun 2026 02:26:26 +0000Tue, 02 Jun 2026 02:25:51 +0000Witnesses have described scenes of devastation after a massive explosion tore through a village in northern Myanmar, killing dozens and injuring scores more. The blast struck Kaung Tat, near the Chinese border, around midday on Sunday. The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), which controls the area, admitted the explosives had been stored for mining purposes. A spokesperson said on Monday that 39 people were confirmed dead and 75 injured, though local media and rescue groups reported higher figures, with at least 55 fatalities. Residents told of a mushroom cloud rising into the sky and a shockwave that obliterated homes. “Everything was completely destroyed beyond recognition,” said one witness, who arrived at the site an hour later to find bodies and debris scattered across a vast crater. Rescue workers said more than 200 houses were damaged, with some victims buried under rubble. The TNLA has apologised for the accident, pledging to prevent a repeat and to support rescue and rehabilitation efforts. The group seized Namhkam Township in 2023 and has been in a fragile ceasefire with the military. Its governing body, the Ta’ang Land Council, has called for an investigation. Myanmar’s mineral wealth, including rare earths, has become a lifeline for both the military regime and resistance forces since the 2021 coup. But lax safety standards have made accidents common. In April, a blast at a gunpowder facility in Pangsang killed 160 people. The latest tragedy underscores the risks faced by communities caught between conflict and resource extraction. With many of the injured in critical condition, hospitals near the border are struggling to cope, and urgent blood supplies are needed. A verdict on responsibility may take time, but for villagers who have lost homes and loved ones, the scale of destruction is already painfully clear. -2026-06-02Tue, 02 Jun 2026 02:23:27 +0000When a working man could buy a home, raise a family and afford a holiday on a single wage.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 02:23:15 +0000There's so much misinformation being circulated by those wanting to make political capital out of this murder.

In a statement released on 30 May, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said the actions breach the ceasefire agreement signed on 27 December 2025. The ministry warned that Thailand continues to violate Cambodia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in areas seized by Thai forces. Officials highlighted the building of at least 36 Buddha statues in Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey provinces, along with two flagpoles in Preah Vihear. The ministry argued these measures go beyond maintaining military positions, instead reinforcing unlawful occupation through permanent structures, barriers, and cultural activities. The statement stressed that such actions contradict the Joint Statement of the 3rd Special Meeting of the General Border Committee, which committed both sides to halt troop movements and resume border demarcation through the Joint Boundary Commission. Cambodia reiterated it does not recognise any boundary line established by force or unilateral claims. Phnom Penh urged Bangkok to respect the December agreement, saying adherence is essential to restoring trust, ensuring peace, and maintaining good neighbourly relations. The dispute underscores the fragility of the frontier, where unresolved demarcation has repeatedly sparked diplomatic friction. Cambodia’s latest protest signals growing frustration over what it sees as Thailand’s attempts to entrench its occupation, raising the stakes for renewed dialogue and regional stability. -2026-06-02Tue, 02 Jun 2026 02:15:49 +0000
