Good point. The C's spelt it that particular way... Maybe something to it? Though they seem to run with the "Dionysus" spelling of the Greek god and all that it entails.
This isn't a verified account, just someone using Corbyn's name. Gotta watch out for that on Twitter with public personalities.Thanks for sharing the new session, interesting as always!
I did a search on 'Israel+Skripal' on Twitter and found this tweet by Jeremy Corbin:
Julia Skripal has been discharged from hospital after eating a dodgy pizza, kebab, curry, vienetta, malteser or perhaps being poisoned by Israel or another state actor. We need to keep an open mind.

Just a wild guess, or does he know something...?
Thank for the new session - sure packs a wallop of data!! The NO baseline measurements were a fascianting touch, although I have no ability to dissect information from it.
The Dionysian information kind of takes me back also to a book I read by Friedrich Nietzsche called The Birth of Tragedy, which talks about the role of the Dionysian spirit in Greek culture and how it was counterbalanced by the essence of the Apollonian spirit in theatrical tragedy. From Wikipedia:
Funny about the genetic weapon backfiring... I mean you'd have to be a doofus not to have seen THAT one coming.
Conversely:The Apollonian and Dionysian concepts comprise a dichotomy that serves as the basis of Paglia's theory of art and culture. For Paglia, the Apollonian is light and structured while the Dionysian is dark and chthonic (she prefers Chthonic to Dionysian throughout the book, arguing that the latter concept has become all but synonymous with hedonism and is inadequate for her purposes, declaring that "the Dionysian is no picnic."). The Chthonic is associated with females, wild/chaotic nature, and unconstrained sex/procreation. In contrast, the Apollonian is associated with males, clarity, celibacy and/or homosexuality, rationality/reason, and solidity, along with the goal of oriented progress: "Everything great in western civilization comes from struggle against our origins."[9]
She argues that there is a biological basis to the Apollonian/Dionysian dichotomy, writing: "The quarrel between Apollo and Dionysus is the quarrel between the higher cortex and the older limbic and reptilian brains."[10] Moreover, Paglia attributes all the progress of human civilization to masculinity revolting against the Chthonic forces of nature, and turning instead to the Apollonian trait of ordered creation. The Dionysian is a force of chaos and destruction, which is the overpowering and alluring chaotic state of wild nature. Rejection of – or combat with – Chthonianism by socially constructed Apollonian virtues accounts for the historical dominance of men (including asexual and homosexual men; and childless and/or lesbian-leaning women) in science, literature, arts, technology and politics. As an example, Paglia states: "The male orientation of classical Athens was inseparable from its genius. Athens became great not despite but because of its misogyny.
Apollonianism, particularly in the vein of contrasting with the Dionysian, {alledgelly} is a form of reformed Stoicism, and technically a refined Buddhism, as an enlightenment philosophy. [1]
