“Myself when young did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great Argument About it and about: but evermore Came out by the same Door where in I went.” “The Bird of Time has but a little way To flutter – and the Bird is on the Wing.”
The absolute dross that falls out of Trump’s mouth…
"Oil will be coming down. That's just a matter of war that happens. You can almost predict it. I would say it went up a little bit less than we thought. It's going to come down more than we, than anybody understands."
It didn’t “quietly disappear”.
It was triumphantly destroyed, with a fanfare - and a smirk that echoed like a thunderclap.
"If Tony Blair, Nigel Farage, and Kemi Badenoch are telling you to go to war – it's pretty damn obvious you should not go to war."
The UK's right-wing were calling for Keir Starmer to offer full support to the Iran war – but now they've changed tune

Senile delinquency
The orange's 98 days plus of golfing during this term has cost US taxpayers a minimum of $137,200,000. That's pocket change by comparison to the pillaged wealth he's accruing.
I suppose "techbros inventing renting (but worse)" makes a change from "techbros inventing buses (but worse)."
Skiving MP Nigel feels belittled by the beaver’s work ethic.
In fairness, there's also the ecological catastrophe

Where’s DOGE? I found the waste.
“Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of
“The scale of this unchecked spread guarantees a continuous mass generation of post-viral disability. The PMC estimates that 54 million total infections have occurred in the US in the first three months of 2026 alone.
And with this transmission comes a massive burden of Long COVID…”
“The Ministers affirmed their absolute rejection and condemnation of this illegal and unjustified measure”
It was not enough for Elon Musk's minions to gut the Social Security Agency.
An ex-DOGE engineer allegedly took SSA's master databases of personal information to a job in the private sector.
DOGE was never about fighting fraud. It was about exposing Americans to more of it.
Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."
Has it perhaps achieved any of their unstated objectives?
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
It’s so good that the grasshoppers lived to see their dreams fulfilled. The poor dinosaurs were dozens of millions of years extinct before human children eventually evolved to love them and thereby give their lives the meaning they had always longed for.
My favourite grasshopper fact: Grasshoppers first appeared on the planet 250 million years ago.
Grass did not appear on the planet until 40 million years ago
Imagine it: 210 million years, hopping around on any random surface you can find, waiting for the grass that will make you truly yourself.
I still think about this a lot.
Another cracking post unpicking the warped world of RW media.
Read it and buy Emma a coffee so she can keep on shining the light.
Presumably, then he would immediately be replaced by Vance the Vile, and the regime would continue as before.
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

Even if there were a schedule, he’d be lying about it, just as he lies about costs. He claims his ballroom is under budget, despite the estimated cost having risen several times since it was first announced.
Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putin’s word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.
I’m in no hurry to see Trump’s death; that’ll come soon enough. What I want to see ASAP is him and all his henchmen in jail.

A supermarket in #Thailand replaced plastic packaging with banana leaves. A simple idea that makes a big difference.🌿

Now there’s an image to conjure with.
