Afternoon chuckle

I'm routing for Count Binface every single day of the millennia - against five house, five mill, fake phoney farage #ClactonByElection

“He did not deserve to die,” Lorenzo's son said. “He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of ‘Mexican man shot and killed by ICE.'" “He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream.”

"Knocking on doors for over a decade I know the people here have lost hope but I have passion for this place and I have a plan" - Geraldine Coggins introducing the Green Party Mayoral Manifesto at our launch event today

How Labour's £15bn warfare plan will deprive Scotland of funding www.thenational.scot/news/2626764...

The presence of a reporter on that ship has made me FAR more pessimistic about the Iran War ending sooner rather than later. It’s a data point for a likelihood the Trump administration is preparing for an extended conflict and even possibly boots on the ground. I pray I’m reading too much into it.

just a heads up: you dont get access like this without giving something up. the administration wants images of big powerful american jets doing stuff and @cnn.com is serving up precisely what they want. signed, guy who remembers both iraq wars

Not a good sign for peace that we’re now seeing a journalist reporting from a US aircraft carrier. The trade-off for such access is generally an agreement to produce uncritical pro-war propaganda. Many of us are old enough to remember how journalists were embedded with US troops during the Iraq War.

New #PolitiMix: a rigorous, fully sourced medical inquiry into why a 79-year-old man with coronary disease, thirteen documented public naps, and a diet his own HHS Secretary can't explain is still vertical and threatening Spain. The answer is complicated. The read is not.

As we strive for conscious evolution, how can we weave together the best, most constructive spiritual wisdom paths from our past and create something that opens us deeply to the land and the Web of Life? accidentalgods.life/zen-and-the- #AccidentalGods #Podcast #Buddhism @brspirit.bsky.social

ah heck.... if you're having a bad day, you have to read this thread by @tkingfisher.com It may be a story - as in, slightly embellished with only a passing acquaintance with reality - but I love it. And it may also be true. Which is even better.

Our political system is wholly corrupt and no longer fit for purpose – if it ever was. How do we fix it in a way that allows every human being to flourish on a thriving planet? accidentalgods.life/collective-e... #AccidentalGods #Podcast

How do we encourage human flourishing? How do we make the thriving of all 8 billion of us & the More than Human World central to all that we are and do? #Eudaimonic design has been around since Plato - and is having a revival accidentalgods.life/design-for-t... #AccidentalGods #Podcast #Thrutopia

How do we create healthy people, intimately enmeshed in a healthy biosphere so that, together, we can co-create routes to a healthy future? How do we create a future fit for purpose in which humanity flourishes in all possible senses? accidentalgods.life/healthy-peop... #AccidentalGods #Podcast

All right, we need to treat this the way we would have treated a Russian spy network during the Cold War.

of course. The Victorians loved history the same way that Lenny loved rabbits

Oh, have I not told this one here? Okay. So Grandma had The Charisma.

"The announcement in June that NATO would reduce its military presence in Kosovo, together with disputes between the United States and its European allies over Bosnia and Herzegovina, is having a negative impact on the Balkans as a whole."

"Power vacuum: Trump is dismantling the security architecture in the Balkans" theins.press/en/politics/...

ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.

“That is the thing being surrendered. Not a negotiating position. Not a percentage point of defense spending. The basic presumption of competence that undergirds every commitment the United States has ever made to every ally it has ever had.” substack.com/home/post/p-...

A great blue heron for the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #BirdsILove Birds you love to see

#birdoftheday #birds #birdphotography #photography #lifer #littleowls I'm unsure if this meets the definition of lifer. Little owls are not indigenous to Ireland, and these two were born in captivity. What was new to me, a first and an absolute delight was to capture them within a week of hatching

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Lifer Capture/ captures of the last new to you bird you’ve seen. Alt #BirdsILove Birds you love to see: I was so excited to see this new to me Lesser Nighthawk in a pine tree #🪶

A double feature #birdoftheday Horned & Tufted Puffin in the Salish Sea off the coast of Washington. Tufties exude the mullet-induced confidence you’d expect from a bird of their ilk. Nesting from Nor-Cal to Alaska, while Hornies are more recluse, nesting in crevices on rocky cliffs from BC to NPO🌊

@alan678.bsky.social says Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Orange, any bird with any shade of orange on it. The first species that came to mind was the Orangequit. These little tanagers are endemic to Jamaica. They are entirely dark blue, except for a small orange patch on their throat. #birds

For today’s #BirdoftheDay the Alt theme is #Reflections, any bird casting a reflection. Here a pelican sits at the shoreline of the aptly named Pelican Lake in Watertown, South Dakota #birds

No-one ever expects the Islamic Republic of Japan. Surprise is their chief weapon.

Trump called Zelensky "Putin," invented the "Islamic Republic of Japan," reportedly fell asleep in his bilateral with Erdogan, and declared the Iran ceasefire over. Every adversary intelligence service on earth watched the same footage. #Politimix

Shared for @acmcgregor.bsky.social apparently so...

I sincerely wish this to be real: @countbinface.bsky.social may know...

It’s getting trite but if this were Biden the NYT would have a full spread about his unfitness for office

More Reform UK transactions worth millions reported to National Crime Agency Exclusive: Bankers have raised potential money-laundering concerns over loans and donations involving senior party figures Now wwe know why he left. He knew this was comming out today!!! www.theguardian.com

Share with someone who has a bit of money, and is opposed to wealth taxes on the super rich.

Say what you like about Count Binface as MP for Clacton. But at least he'd attend parliament.

An aspect of the Binface candidacy that hasn't been talked about much is that it threatens to put Farage in the role of serious politician defending serious politics. Which is an awkward fit.

This scary nugget from Trump's NATO embarrassment tour—"he repeated the false claim that Greenland is surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships and said he won't let it be threatened." Sounds scarily similar to "We had to bomb the shit out of Iran to stop the [nonexistent] nukes." Lying sack of shit.

opensiddur.org/readings-and... I created a sixth century Babylonian demon bowl formula specifically for exorcising malfunctioning tech. There is no non-demonic explanation for this shit.

Truly the binfluencer we need.

It's going to be Count Binface vs Trump Binfire, in the Clacton by-election. #NigelFraud 🗣️💨

I think I’m even more anti establishment than Nigel Farage but when I go to my bank statements I still don’t seem to have £5million payment from the anti establishment establishment and no emails from BBC’s Question Time to be the most established anti establishment guest either
