JOHN GALT COULD NOT BE REACHED FOR COMMENT: Electricity gradually returns to Cuba after substation failure left millions in the dark. “Cuba suffered similar blackouts in October, November and December. The latest was the first of 2025 but in mid-February authorities suspended classes and work activities for two days due to a shortage of electricity generation that exceeded 50% in the country.”

YES.

BRITAIN’S CULTURAL SUICIDE ACCELERATES: Shakespeare’s birthplace to be ‘decolonised’ over concerns playwright promotes ‘white supremacy.’

The museum curators will carry out further analysis on the “impact of colonialism” on world history and the ways in which “Shakespeare’s work has played a part in this”.

Certain items in its archives might include “language or depictions that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise harmful”, the trust said.

The change comes as the playwright receives significant posthumous backlash against his works – many of which have had trigger warnings for racism, sexism and violence.

Several years ago, findings of a research project between Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust and the University of Birmingham’s Dr Helen Hopkins indicated that the writer’s works “benefits the ideology of white European supremacy”, The Telegraph reports.

The research argues that European culture was forced to become the world standard for high art via “colonial inculcation” and that Shakespeare was deployed as a symbol of “British cultural superiority”.

There’s a reason Shakespeare’s works have survived (and still thrive) for four centuries: they are superior.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): When you seek to suppress a country’s native culture, you’re not decolonizing it. You’re colonizing it.

MAN’S BEST FRIEND:  RATS!!!:  National Geographic reports that in Africa, rats are used to detect tuberculosis:

Carolina is an African giant pouched rat who can screen 100 sputum (i.e phlegm) samples for tuberculosis in 20 minutes—much faster than a human, who takes four days to process the same amount of information with a microscope. And she’s part of a cohort of 40 rats belonging to nonprofit APOPO who are helping to combat the tuberculosis epidemic in Tanzania and Ethiopia.

According to the article, rats can be used to detect land mines too.

DAVE CARTER: Secretary of Defense Hegseth: Do the Opposite Of This. “Just as individual expression makes for a rather poor orchestral performance, a cacophony of military members who range from the physically fit to the morbidly obese and from the highest of military standards to a motley and shaggy collection of gender bending eccentricities will constitute something less than an intimidating deterrent force.”

A HARSH, BUT FAIR, CHARACTERIZATION:

The male Meghan Markle indeed.

THIS IS THE FIND OUT PART.  SOME OF THESE DUDES ARE FROM THE US BECAUSE ICE AND THE WHITEHOUSE SUSPECTED A JUDGE WOULD GO ROGUE SO THEY SENT THE PLANES OFF EARLY:  Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable). The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.
