The stores of Queen Street East recede to a perspective point, left to right. It is a bright, sunny day. At far left, a standing sign outside a clothing store reads โ€œWe have cute clothes. You have a closet.โ€ Next door, a young man leans against the wall beside Queen Street Books. Further in the distance, in the shadows of buildings across the street, people approach.

Love the architect's choice of putting a column of bay windows dow the centre of the corner on these tenemen at the junction between Moss-Side Road and Dinmont Road in the Shawlands area of Glasgow.

Office Hours: What the Hell is โ€œUnconditional Surrender?โ€ What will Trump demand of Iran to end his war?

Office Hours: What the Hell is โ€œUnconditional Surrender?โ€

Just get out of Iran, idiot. Take our troops, ships, planes and leave their country! We should never have been over there, spending $1 billion per day when the citizens of this country could've used that.

Why hasn't dear leader solved the Russia-Ukraine war, like he said he would? Why does he continue to kowtow to Putin? I would really like to know why djt is so beholden to Putin.

Did Trump's son-in-law use diplomacy to lure Iranian leaders into a death trap?

www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

I'd really like to know how deeply Kushner was involved in getting us into a war with Iran, alongside Israel. I think he had a lot to do with it. Why ARE we in the Middle East again?

Twoโ€™fer Tuesday! A pair of Trumpeter Swans strengthen their bond doing a little courtship display. I like the โ€œchest bumpโ€ at the end to celebrate.

A recent, and now regular visit to our garden, is a jay. Yep, a chuffin' jay, and I'm tickled pink. This morning Jonathan. Yep, named it. ๐Ÿ˜Tried, his best to get food from an inappropriate bird feeder. It was in an out quicker than an American F 35 stealth fighter jet. #birds ๐Ÿฆ‰๐Ÿ˜Š
