Susan saves States
Susan Crawford. She fights for workers and women's rights. She won the Wisconsin Supreme court election referred to as the "People vs Elon Musk" having withstood a tsunami of cash from far right interests to stymie the frustration of the people as Wisconsinites stood up to authoritarianism, corruption, and cruelty in America's desperate bid to retain its fragile democratic republic. A ray of hope in a darkening world.

The Independent UK: "Britain must allow US chlorine-washed chicken into UK markets if it wants relief from sweeping tariffs, Donald Trump has indicated.

Nirvana day
Nirvana Day, also known in Mahayana Buddhism as Parinirvana Day, is a Buddhist holiday celebrated in February.

The two most frequently days to celebrate it by Buddhist sangha communities are February 8th or, even more common, February 15th, but also on other days of this month. Often, for practical purposes, it's celebrated on the nearest date of whichever day of the week is used by that community to typically gather anyway. Good plan.
