'How far and how fast the United States has fallen!' As Trump considers 'reviewing the UK's claim to the Falklands', and suspending Spain from NATO, @mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts.

2/2 Artist, with some pretty shocking studio props on hand. What is he painting? Only Cornelis Dusart knows, and today is his day.

...but at least he has frames hanging up, ready and waiting, which makes him deserving of a Really Good Day 🙂

Lots of people questioning whether the King should visit the United States. I think he definitely should; to recolonise it.

Clasps, for the dedicated follower of fashion 😊 Both corset and clog. Just a couple of decorated corset clasps, but they went to town to add a bit of bling to their clogs 🥰

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good. Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies. So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

Rare Semper Augustus striped tulips crown these flowers arranged in a glass vase by Elias van den Broeck, whose day is today.

Sick to death of greedy, predatory American companies thinking they can ride roughshod over a country's taxes and labour laws. Good for the French. Make sure you get that money back for your taxpayers.
