Salt, butter, a laurel leaf, a small stick of cinnamon, a branch of fresh oregano.

Yeah, that's not depression, that's just normal. 🤷‍♂️

The right (or far right) will probably win the next Spanish elections, which might rekindle independentist sentiment (both left and right have traditionally fucked with Catalonia, but the right has worse excuses), but personally I think we lost our best opportunity when we didn't follow up on the 2017 declaration of independence.

The far righ would straight try to genocide us, so there might be an opportunity there. We need to be uncomfortable enough to get off our fat arses and work for our freedom, like back in the 2010s.

Gibbons' The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, all six volumes of it.

The reason we started making E85 was because there was concerns about not having enough gasoline production in the states.

Also, it can be made from all-American corn, the most American of crops.

You might not be able to run cars on corn syrup, but you can run them on this.

Are they at least adding green colouring..?

It's supposed to be kind of sort of federal(ish) (federalish enough, in theory, to keep Catalonia and Euskadi happy enough that we won't want to leave). "States" are called autonomías (autonomies) and have their own government, laws, and institutions, though they still have to obey the Spanish government and most of its laws. It isn't really working.

The article is still wrong when it uses "feds", though, because the cops doing this are the mossos d'esquadra, the Catalan autonomic police, not the "federal(ish)" policía nacional (the Spanish police proper) or guardia civil (despite the name, the military Spanish police, a relic from Franco's dictatorship, like most of the country and its institutions).

One possible solution is government buying out flood prone areas

The proper solution is fining anyone stupid enough to ask to be removed from a flood map 300% of their gross earnings during the past decade, and submitting them to every possible inspection, since they're surely trying to hide other criminal idiocies.

Bird skeletons (or simply plucked birds) are seriously disturbing.

It's incredible how much work feathers do when it comes to bird appearance.

Owls are cute and fluffy. Plucked owls are horrific alien nightmares from the outer dimensions.

Makes one wonder.
