Can you spot the cat ? I think you can.

Tried to only use acrylic pens for this one. I'm not convinced but here we go anyway 😹

The close up of Farage smirking, when Ed Davey is talking about the massacre of tiny little children. F**k me.

Call me a dumbass (many have), but does the number of GOP candidates vs that of the Dems mean anything? Are all the people who didn't vote for the Rep front runner automatically going to supoprt him?

BREAKING: The DOJ has reportedly deleted over 65,000 pages of the Epstein files.

How stupid he said.

French menus: How to eat as the French government advises Want to fully integrate and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner like a French person? The French government's health ministry will create for you a weekly menu of three-course meals - so we tried it out.

Turns out the French health ministry has a tool that will create for you a weekly menu plan and, well, I think I might need to renegotiate my working hours in order to create the recommended entrée-plat-dessert lunch and dinner every day 🐟🥦🧀🍷

Sorry, but everyone's probably gonna see a lot of self-promotion for my book for a while. I've gotta stop being so quiet about my wares.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Hundreds rally against millionaires tax and Democrat-backed legislation at Washington State Capitol Worship music and protest signs converge as demonstrators warn Washington's proposed tax on the wealthy is a gateway to a state income tax.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

I'd rather go see The Bride :)

No... I think he does. And more importantly, those who expect to benefit from higher prices know too.

‘A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict

"With machismo, Christian nationalism and callousness toward the lives of US troops, they say, Hegseth’s puerile displays on TV are aimed at sating Trump’s desire for a warmonger worthy of the manosphere."

Rediscovering the wrestlers and boxers of Late-Victorian London By Sarah Elizabeth Cox

WOW!

My first non-fiction book contains an 1887 homoerotic boozy bath scene between two jacked bareknuckle boxers the morning after they hit each other for two and a half hours in a French field. Please buy it. Also please someone ask me to talk about it, saucily, on a podcast.

They’re raping people on your dime.

Considering we sell arms to other countries we therefore know how well designed these bombs are and how accurate they are. So when a bomb hits a school members of our government know that’s not a mistake. Members of our government know civilians are being targeted and that is a war crime.

That sounds amazing :)

I LEURVE non-fiction. I'm a sucker for history so our shelves are split between crime novels (hubs) and biographies etc (moi). That said, youngest son's Skullduggery Pleasant and Minecraft collections are starting to upset the balance...

OK, 1) I'm in France and am not American. 2) I know they're funded by the same people. Policiticans of all stripes are as bad as each other. But until humans grow up, ditch captialism and the patriarchy, ain't nothing ever gonna change. Look at history. 3) I don't give politicians any money.

Who is Keir Starmer without Morgan McSweeney? On Iran and on Europe, he is beginning to show us

Thank fuck for that - Morgan McSweeney appears to have been the Wormtongue of the Labour government. Hope he stays in the wilderness for a long time.

What a breathtakingly twisted White House.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
