I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1782

Always fun to see some "citizen journalist" header giving out about Irish charities offering support to people in IPAS centres by repeatedly and furiously referring to the spending of "our tax dollars"

Once again the Government demonstrates remarkable ability to achieve things that nobody wanted and many are actively against.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Maybe. But there's a valid point there. Helmets aren't going to save you when a tonne of metal with a distracted driver in charge hits you. The problem isn't cyclists. The problem is car drivers. Regulating helmets but not prosecuting drivers is not a solution, it addresses the wrong problem.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will skip the signing of US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” in Davos after Switzerland confirmed it would enforce the ICC arrest warrant over war crimes in Gaza.

Donald J Trump deserves the Peace Prize for preventing a deranged dictator from invading Greenland.

How fares the King

A Blake's 7 remake? What if it's terrible?! Then they'll have nailed it.

We have made the decision to formally close our X social media account. Once a vibrant platform to promote the interests of authors, we feel X is no longer a trusted place for balance, community support, and reliable information.

I hold in my hand a bowl of shamrock

Cat wandered in front of the camera during the #aurora long exposure

Look, if the Southern Lights were to appear in the sky, then maybe I'd be more impressed.

This is a) terrifying for the passengers and b) some kind of metaphor for America, where everyone is a confused and scared passenger on the crazy bus being driven by the crazy dude

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

My stock tip for everyone is that veggie is as good as chicken or beef.

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’ “A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles” BELGIAN WHISTLES

Trump accepting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is a great insult to the FIFA Peace Prize committee

Now, thirty-five years later, Estonia is now one of the most forested countries in Europe, having nearly doubled the size of its forests by doing … nothing. Half the country is now a forest, and over 90 percent of those forests have naturally regenerated." www.atlasobscura.com/articles/cen...
