I'm retired and living in Sydney, Australia. I like my dog and noticing small bits of the natural world. I'm interested in politics and think that the social democracies of scandanavia have a lot we can learn from to have a happy life

You English might have to give anti snobbery legislation a go because clearly class distinction beliefs have split English society ever since the Norman conquest in 1066.

Your ridiculous exaggerated Dickensian vision of living conditions for the working poor in a 15 minute city doesn't add much to the believability of your criticism.
Surely modern tech can create modular comfortable housing better than capsule hotels or sleeping on the master's floor.

They will sweat out their toxins and replace them with anti toxins from the curdled raw milk in their baby bottles

I stand corrected. It's blueberries that are marsupials not strawberries.

MAGA's policy is to round up, beat up, or shoot all who oppose them so they can have their own country.
Their violence has already split America hasn't it?

No. Strawberries are actually marsupials not mammals.
You can see the baby strawberries developing in little dimples on their skin.

No you are stuck in the past.

Under the regime currently running the USA, the powers of judge and jury have been granted to individual ICE officers by the supreme leader.

So "executed" is the correct term.

The orange buffoon's name is not mentioned in the very mild and oblique criticism but the whole world knows that he is the target

Aww. Mike Johnson thought he was first.

Discarded cicada exoskeletons on a tree in Sydney Australia

This tree was a very popular place for the local cicadas to carry out their metamorphosis. I counted at least 30 of their discarded exoskeletons.

A very large eucalyptus tree photographed against a bright blue sky. Its bark is slightly pink. Its branches are not straight. They twist in turn like tentacles

If Harry Potter was set in Australia, these would be the type of tree around Hogwarts.

I disturbed this Lorikeet while he was sipping nectar from these red gum flowers.
He wasn't happy with me but it wasn't my fault. Although he is brightly coloured I hadn't noticed him among the brightly coloured flowers.

JD Vance and Mike Johnson are ready to lead them.

There will be no respite for the American people until all the Republican enablers are gone.

It's been raining the last couple of days but today is fine and sunny.
Time for Otto to have his morning nap in the sun before we walk to the park .

It did remind me of the times long ago when I was trying to get my infant son to go to sleep. I would read him stories.

That video of trump's lackeys taking turns to flatter him while he sits there half asleep is one of the funniest things I've seen for a very long time

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.
