Good morning! 🪶

Gotta end Friday on a high note! #LoveCarney #FvkTheFelon

Happy Robbie Burns Day. During the covid lockdown I did regular musical events online. This was my Scottish ceilidh for Robbie Burns Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy70...

Trump’s back to threatening 100% tariffs on Canada this morning, wow I can’t imagine why the Canadians now see the Chinese as a more reliable trade partner

I haven’t posted on here in a long time, but Twitter’s planned collapse is accelerating, & it doesn’t seem X is long for this world. Things are deteriorating as expected. Everyone is sick & getting sicker. That Covid causes immunodeficiency is still not acknowledged, & probably won’t be. Bleak.

The Shingles vaccine has outperformed all expectations. Why? erictopol.substack.com/p/spotlight-...

Telling people who fought and died by your side, after you got attacked and asked for help, that they're ungrateful moochers who never do anything for you, is really low. False, rude, and self-harming all in one. Denmark and other NATO allies are right to be appalled. I'm not sure what else to say.

Reminder of the spectacularly poor judgement of these people

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Trump just announced new tariffs on Germany, UK, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland—over Greenland. Yet he claims to have struck "comprehensive" trade deals covering 7 of these 8 nations. If "deals" don't bind, why negotiate? Extra credit: What has he done to U.S. leverage?

"Rather than turn against one another, we turn toward community and proclaim God’s love for all. We refuse to submit to the false power of chaos and terror. We refuse to hate, retreat, or to be divided. [...] [We] believe Jesus’ example of loving all people must guide our journey together."

Wishing all of my Bluesky friends much happiness. Today isn’t easy for many and I send my thoughts and love.

The Barred Owl I have been chasing for months and months now. I finally got to see him because I noticed a fellow photographer focusing his lens towards the tree with him and I caught this guy. He was okay with us photographing him. #owl #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #austin

Staredown In The Wild... Olivier The Northern Hawk Owl, giving me his finest look of intimidation. A true predator. Very elusive, he spends most of his time, in the Boreal Forests of the Northern Wilderness. So handsome. 🦉📸 🇨🇦 #NorthernHawkOwl #Birds #Owls #Photography #Wildlife #OntarioParks #Canada

The last word of every sentence is in italics here, the better to imagine the Beastie Boys rapping about quicklime.

Tucson’s “I have a bridge shaped like a rattlesnake” has big “I sleep in a bed shaped like a race car” energy (complimentary)
