You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Frosty clover 😊 I love it when frost is made of big needles of ice like this. Very pretty. Sadly I don't think the wild cut-leaf crane's-bill I was watching survived the snow. It's all withered up. But it's a geranium type thing and I think they're tough, so it might bounce back from the roots.🤞

Polanski: We need to rely more heavily on European alliances instead of a NATO which hinges on an increasingly unstable US. Trump: As an increasingly unstable US president, I am going to start an intra-NATO war. Creasy: This proves we were right to rely on the extremely stable US.

I was poking around outside in the dark looking for some pots and I spotted this mysterious entity hiding among the remains of the pansies. I'm guessing the fuzzy stuff is mycelium from the toadstool, but it could just be another kind of mould 😅

Oh, you solved world hunger? Hey, nice work, not bad. No, really, that's great! Pretty tricky thing to do. ...but have you ever managed to

No one exposes climate bastards quite like the Juice Media. 🫴

S’nice here #island365 Mallorca

Slightly diminish a game Final Fantasy ⅛th

the police have never had the public's safety in mind. that's not what the police are for. the police exist to protect property and suppress dissent.

Ok I need you all to stop what you’re doing and get into this youtu.be/1BhJBoSILk4?...

There is nothing universal and eternal about putting armed guards at the borders of rich countries and preventing people from poor countries moving across those borders. It didn't used to be this way, it could easily be different.

It's still quite cold here

I just think we all need to take a deep cleansing breath and then calmly overthrow a government

QTP with your favorite Grass-type Pokemon 🌿

Things are starting to thaw here, though it might get colder again tonight. My water collection bin had a huge hollow ice plug that went most of the way from top to bottom. I fished it out with a rake and the inner surface was covered in delicate ice spurs, each projecting into the hollow space 🤩

The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse

Back to drawing Pokemon. Chikorita was a little bouncy bean so I named it Boozle and now he's a Boozle Bouquet ✏️🟢 #Art #PokemonLegendsZA

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

"At a certain point, perpetual capitulation becomes policy." Something to keep in mind, especially now.

Looks like it'll be another wintery day!

Shapes sculpted by the wind on the snow. The sides are really smooth but the tip is such a sharp point. It's like a tiny sand dune. 😊

I've seen folks do the 'distraction from the Epstein files' thing about news from Venezuela and I think we need to fundamentally expand our understanding. Because it's the same picture. It's the same entitlement, the same immunity to consequence, the same disregard for human life. Exceptionalism.

This illegal invasion of another country while its citizens sleep is a cynical act of American imperialism. The fact that Venezuela has some of the world’s largest oil reserves makes this feel very familiar. Greens stand against this contempt of international law. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

Genuinely stunned by this. I used to have a lot of respect for Zarah.

Will these spring onion ends go all weird shapes like my carrots? Let's find out

This is your annual reminder

It's a wee bit chilly out.

I don't play FFXIV at the moment as my relationship with MMOs (and frankly gaming in general) can be very unhealthy, but my goodness this is beautiful. I have a lot of criticisms for the battle system in XIV, but it would be easy to forget about that with all these flowers 🌸

this is how 'big tent' politics is supposed to work.

Always worth the price of admission. 🌿 🍄📷

Who doesn't love a bit of winter holiday chickweed? ⁽ⁿᵒ ᵒⁿᵉ ˡⁱᵏᵉˢ ᶜʰⁱᶜᵏʷᵉᵉᵈ ᴶᵉᶠᶠʸ ᵒʰ ᵐʸ ᵍᵒᵈ⁾ I don't think the little flowers at the top are likely to open, but they're pretty nonetheless. 🌼

This Telegraph headline is an incitement to genocide

Jeeeesus Christ. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with Zack. This kind of caricature is disgustingly antisemitic and should be condemned by everybody.

The Express directly associating a gay man they don't like with a notorious paedophile in a headline. That's not an accident. It'd be a terrible shame if such an egregious smear backfired and increased support for the Greens! join.greenparty.org.uk

Check out this cormorant-type thing! Wings open to dry after diving in the sea for fish. Also a cute sailing boat 😊

(Under a cut because it's a kind of bug I suspect some people might be squicked by) Anyone know what the critter on the top right is? It's only 1-2mm long and there are a fair few latched onto my coriander seedlings. They resist being removed! Aphid on the bottom left for scale/comparison.

Here's another one being weird and flowering at midwinter. This is a wall speedwell (or possibly several) that I rescued from the trackway a few months ago. Weirdly, it's never looked happier! The tiny blue-white ovals are the flowers, and the yellow heart-shaped thing in the middle is a seedpod.

Not a white christmas as such, but I think this heavy frost is just as nice 😊

Amazing what a bit of shelter can do. This sowthistle thing is pretty tough, but considering it's on a north facing beach in the middle of December it's doing really well. Already flowering and ready to invade the whole area for spring 😅

I just managed to tip a whole box of carefully sorted tiny components (rawlplugs etc) onto a rough concrete floor in a poorly lit shed, and they've gone everywhere. Time for bed I think 💀

some ppl are saying corps backing away from pride is fine bcos pride shouldn't be corpo anyway. that's true but it's still a bad thing bcos it's indicative of how the ruling class view us.

The DS9 edit is complete

Cringe moment

Moss in the evening sun. I liked the orange of the moss fruiting bodies with the rust of the steel rod 🌄

I thought that, as an accidental chickweed enthusiast, it would be a crime for me to not post this. BUT apparently it's not chickweed at all! Plantnet says it's called 'water-blinks'. Big 'ole undulating mat of it in a waterlogged field. The low sun has only melted the frost on one side. Pretty! 😊
