My wrap up of #eurovision is the usual... Europe punishes UK for Brexit yet again (LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER was amazingly bombastic and fun! Not worthy of LAST below Maltese cowboy?!?!?!) And well done power ballads go well (Delta)... but alas Bulgaria was FUN and worthy!

I prefer this place to the other one, but I don't have many followers here yet. Help me with the odd share if you like what I do. Ta.

Interesting.

Rod Stewart to King Charles on his visit with Trump: “Hello, sir. May I say well done in the Americas. You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.”

Not how I planned on today going... I have been rubbing it in with glee that I am not allergic to penicillin to my wife who is allergic for years... now to her 'joy', it looks like I have joined the club... MISERABLE!!! Full body rash...

This new Banksy statue is a reminder that nothing can be more powerful, more creative, more impactful than human-made art. He's managed to capture the dangers of the current political moment in a single piece of artwork. Absolutely brilliant.

My wife and I are anti 'digital babysitting' BUT the face our 11 month old son makes when Bluey comes on during breakfast at 8:01am each day is the most wonderful thing! Just 7 minutes of wholesome goodness!

A bit of legislation that I 100% agree with and will judge people accordingly for opposing! Don't 'cure' smokers, just stop people taking up the habit! www.9news.com.au/world/uk-pas...

Klaus McForkface, a lifting robot developed by German manufacturer Linde AG, performed a stunning 1200-kilogram (2646 lb) overhead lift in Hamburg, beating the human world record by more than 300%

Yet another reassuring case as well of whenever Trump backs someone, they lose! The world is tilted right now, but the people know how to right it! Authoritarian regimes in a democracy, can be defeated! Putin might not be able to, Trump can be defeated, erode every ally, centre the globe again!

Cartoon by Gábor Pápai, a well-known Hungarian political cartoonist.

Jeff and Elon built great work vans to run back and forth, NASA built the Bugatti Veyron to see what we can achieve!

I was watching at work and apart from being overweight and unqualified I found I cant be an astronaut as I would get HORRIBLY seasick bobbing in the ocean for 90 minutes!

This will be interesting... A war crime trial! This modern age is being tested rightfully. You film something dodgy... expect a knock on the door!

NASA #Artemis II flyby coverage schedule; all times in Eastern. You can follow along live on NASA+ (plus.nasa.gov) or on the NASA YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@NASA). It should be amazing to watch!

How did Nazi perpetrators confront (or avoid) their guilt, even when they were convicted? How did their families and children react? What happened to a whole generation of former Nazis in the postwar period? Check out the latest episode to find out! thhp.buzzsprout.com/2291653/epis...

New episode of the @holocaustpod.bsky.social is out and it's a good one!!!

Seeing these 2 on Sunday, can't wait! Their Fly show was the first show I saw where I was belly laughing out loud, absolutely losing it! Thanks for the review @nonstoptom.bsky.social!

A ship model of the oil tanker MV San Demetrio, built for the 1943 film San Demetrio London, on display at #IWMLondon. In November 1940 San Demetrio was carrying a cargo of aviation fuel when she was shelled and set on fire by the German cruiser Admiral Scheer. But the ship refused to sink...

Oh how I wish this wasn’t satire. 💙

Trump: "No other president can do some of this shit I'm doing"

Good look? RT for Yay!

OTD in 2024 Sweden was forced into NATO by the aggressive alliance. Stockholm looks wrecked compared to Mariupol's peaceful & voluntary joining of Russia. I remain a master strategist.

For anyone who would like the clip (including George).

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Letting sleeping dogs lie. In Istanbul for a few days.

Picked up this book while walking in Eden in NSW today, the author Helen Lewis had set up a stall along the main street to talk about & sell her books as a large cruise ship had berthed in town. I am excited to give it a read, her dad sounds like he has an amazing story! #histbookchat

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

First holiday as a family going well!!!!

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

Lovely day, bloody hot and the magpies want my cinnamon coated macadamias! NO! MINE!

Love a night out in Melbourne!

Political cartoonists are on fire in this era 🔥 If only we had a real government or you know, a much bigger national strike that isn’t on a weekend.

Officially keen! youtu.be/zdM4tdLQBg0?...

The @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social is 100% correct here. These AI images are damaging history and they are a very real threat to the history of the #Holocaust.

Notable message from President Zelensky. The USA is clearly putting pressure on Ukraine to hand over more of its land to dictatorial Russia. Good to see the Ukrainian pushback--but the USA should hang its head in shame.

President Zelenskyy: Ukraine didn’t choose this war& it's wrong to assume that this is a permanent arrangement that others can stay safe behind Ukraine forever.Ukrainians are people,not terminators.

Thanks to your support, our full-page ad is in today’s Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Over 1,000 Jews and thousands of allies have signed our open letter to say that Israeli President Isaac Herzog is not welcome here. Help us spread the word!

And the funny thing is Hegseth has degrees from BOTH Princeton AND Harvard.
