PA FOLKS LOOK OUTSIDE !! Always feel so blessed to see a celestial event 🌌

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Doing a loop in Silver Lake, and Ivanhoe Reservoir is looking nicely van Gogh-esque this morning, a kind of daylight version of "The Starry Night."

Time to get back to what really matters:

To investigate

Worrying reports of bird flu (avian influenza) are coming in, including an outbreak in Whooper Swans in the Fens. Other waterbirds are also being affected, and cases are rising. 📷 Sick Whooper Swan by Kane Brides #UKBirding #BirdingWales #BirdingScotland

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

damn. That woulda been a good pitch last week

Average healthcare costs in the US: Giving birth? $18,000 Cancer treatment? $150,000 One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k. That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through. Cost in Canada? $0. Cost in the UK? $0. Cost in Australia? $0.

I took a photo yesterday as the sun was setting and I thought it would be fun to shoot it again while it was snowing.

Forced myself to socialize yesterday by going to a paint night fundraiser.

I am glad to see some news outlets calling those democrats and the independent defectors. However, people who have been saying that the democrats have not been acting as a team, are now saying that they are all secretly in it. This is crap considering that some have experienced detention, etc.

Interesting, but would like to see the receipts.

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

Shouldn’t mandatory reporters be reporting the president etc. for neglect, abandonment, and mental abuse of children and vulnerable adults?

A 20 year old Canadian was trying to visit her grandparents in Florida and was denied entry because customs officers thought she was trying to illegally immigrate. Trust me, no Canadians want to sneak into the US. This is another reminder that we should be boycotting US travel. It’s not safe

Two of the taller megaliths of Pobull Fhinn stone circle on slope of Ben Langlass, Isle of North Uist. Probably 2nd millennium BCE. The circle is actually an oval c 27 x 38 metres. About two dozen stones remain in total. #StandingStoneSunday #Scotland

Yet another spot on commentary of the absurd time in which we find ourselves.

MAGA folks are claiming that Trump can’t fund SNAP even if he wants to because it’s against the law. First, no it’s not. Second, he’s a 34 time convicted felon. He was found liable for sexual assault. He’s been murdering people in the Caribbean. Don’t pretend he cares about the law.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

In another era, ICE raids would be described as persecution of Catholics.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya. #sad 🤣

A MOCA test is ordered when there is a strong suspicion of cognitive decline. Just sayin.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving. Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:

You don’t “will they won’t they” with people’s food. It’s cruel and unnecessary. Every trip to court is costing tax payer dollars. He’s willing to spend money to avoid paying for people to eat. It’s absolutely a cull.

Trump arrives in FL for another weekend of parties and golf while his attorneys fight in the Supreme Court to deny food to SNAP beneficiaries despite a court order.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

A troubled nation breathes a sigh of relief as the Hoagie Hurler case is finally adjudicated. #NotAllHeroesWearCapes

In case anyone is looking for statistics on this: www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Musk to get a one trillion dollar pay package. The man who almost single handedly caused the death of 600,000 people will become even richer He’s killed children & the most vulnerable He dismantled one of the most successful aid programs in the world He bought an election & installed a fascist
