Another heroic dog. I like that they're careful to point out that he's a pitbull, and was taken in as a stray. Dogs are largely what you make of them. I'm sure there's a pithily relevant Mark Twain comment for this, but I can't find it.

The President of Chad dies in combat against his people's enemies. My virtual hat is off to him. That's a fate more characteristic of a King than a President.

India's going through another outbreak of the Chinese Doom. The reported death toll seems ludicrously small, especially with five hour lines to enter a crematorium, and reports of unclaimed bodies in the streets, and is almost certainly many, many times greater, probably by orders of magnitude.
It interests me that of the many thousands of words dedicated to analyzing the situation by the MSM, none of them mention India's giving away its vaccines via COVAX as a contributing cause. It's entirely the fault of a cricket tournament, a religious festival, election rallies, or general lassitude on the Indians' part.
