The skipping-game: "on on Monday off on Tuesday, changed by Wednesday, flipped on Thursday, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, all got changed on Friday, Friday.

Get some history! Read "Q" about the Reformation... It was an upheaval.

Small elf on Southsea beach in 1972 White fox trespassing on us in the Jura. Quite disturbing. Mysterious owl screeching and another owl screeching, kept us awake in Ardèche campsite. Young bear, my husband quite scared. All the fucking pigeons, all the time...

Total commitment!

Apart from the pollution, it's quite beautiful!

There is a particular sort of person who lashes out at those closest to them.

"Fophef" is a brilliant new Dutch word. It means a fake hysteria about something, and I'd love to know if there's an equivalent in English...

Angus, there's a thing I do when I want to empty my head: I go out for a walk, and with every step I take, I say a word. The rules are simple: no repetition, no connections. For example, Freak, love, serendipity, callous, shale, polity

Knitters. Knitters have to change their gauge all the time, and are always pissed off about it.

Dutch answer to the removal of the boards at #Margraten US military cemetery, honoring black US soldiers who died while liberating the Netherlands in WWII. This grave injustice went counterproductive for the US government, as shown. Courtesy to Dutch TV show ‘Even tot hier’ BNNVARA

The New Devil makes us spend hours and hours in a doom-loop of customer "service".

Protesting, rhyming, scanning to perfection, the AMAZING Jesse Welles. In front of giant US flags... Love him to bits! youtu.be/61I4hlig78w?...

At David Niven's funeral, the largest wreath was from the porters at Heathrow Airport with a note reading, "To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a porter feel like a king." Be kind to everyone.

Giving my three girls one of these pendants for Christmas! It's a celebration of my strandjutter's love of sea-glass, and admission of how artists, much smarter than me, use it to create beautiful art. If you can, look up artists and give their pieces as gifts this holiday season...

MTG running for president?

Back in 1980, as a teenager, I bought a military coat at a surplus store in Switzerland. My boyfriend painted a Chinese dragon on the back, with my name. I have it still! @trufelman.bsky.social

Avast, ye pirates! All aboard for the grand fight!

@trufelman.bsky.social Hey Avery, my husband is 73 years old and still working in the building industry. He spends a disproportionate amount of time assessing work wear. Here in Europe, the Scandinavian companies (eg Snickers) are the best.

The Klept: richest tranche of society who steal from everybody else.

Pick up the phone! Avoid stupid ping-pong app exchanges that only achieve frustration! Don't leave a trail of messages that could later be used against you! Especially e-mails with Jeffrey Epstein...

Last November, I went to visit family in California and the exchange rate was pretty good: €0.90 to the dollar. Today, it's €0.86. Not so much difference on the total cost of a trip. But in terms of macro-economics, it's HUGE!

I need everyone who uses AI to generate art & text to notice what Vince Gilligan says here. You're surrendering your brain, your creativity, the divine spark within you to a machine. Someday you'll wake up and find you're no longer capable of writing or thinking. And for what?

Don't piss in my purse and tell me that it's raining...

The sandwich that went around the world! youtu.be/qODu0y6UVeI?...

I love me some Cold War Conversations! Scratches my Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy itch...

Ukrainian border guards presented Angelina Jolie with a set of national symbols and a State Border Guard Service coin. I'm still amazed! I can't get over her visiting Kherson, one of the most dangerous places in Ukraine, where Russians hunt civilians with drones for sport and entertainment.

If Ukraine joined NATO, it would not be the end of Russian civilisation, rather the opportunity for Russia to take a step back and examine it's role in the world. Perhaps for its own betterment...

Oooooo, Roman roads! And a lovely video, to boot... Of course, we're missing a couple (hello, from Nyon in Switzerland up over St Cergue in the Jura!), and I would've liked a bit in the video about planting trees along the roads to shade marching troops, but this is nonetheless v cool!

The Schrodinger Sandwich, Ladies and Gentlemen!

Angelina Jolie went to Kherson, Ukrainian town under regular Russian shelling. ♥️♥️♥️

Should happen everywhere!

Knitters, look at this masterpiece!

I wonder what happened to the portrait of Michelle Obama, that hung in the East Wing of the Whitehouse? When was the last date that visitors got to see it? Where there conservationists with moving vans prior to the destruction? Or just bubble wrap? duckduckgo.com?q=Michelle%2...

They said the same thing in the UK, same thing in Germany, same thing in the Nederlands : oh no, our billionaires will leave! Well, you know what? Billionaires will always find a way out of paying taxes, so who cares about keeping them?

What in the melon squid fuck

Fell in love with maps in books when I first read Tolkien, aged 11. And I'm now 60!

"Knock-knock" "Whose their?" "The spelling police".

Just keep thinking about Roddy Ho in "Slow Horses"

I prefer the devil on my left shoulder (throw salt at him, reminding me of my faults) to the devil on my right (whispering capitalist excuses for terrible behaviour)....

Makkelijk manier om Ukrainse kinderen te steunen! IDeal betaling ook geaccepteerd..

Ukraine are now the world standard for product-testing fighter jets. Their pilots have trained on almost every platform (except Chinese?). Their government are assessing the costs. In meetings, pilots tick boxes on a list of jet specifications. All that info gets fed into one decision. GRIPEN!
