The irony in 'Oil' being the one thing that brings down Trump would be the perfect ending when you think about it.

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez criticises the US and Israel for their attack on Iran,

"I say to the right and the far-right, they cannot support those who set the world on fire and then complain about the smoke caused by that fire"

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.

Or at least let me send yours to go kill and be killed so I can avoid accountability for my many sex crimes.

What a wonderful maiden speech. So refreshing to hear the truth as it is, inclusive of all, and something we seldom get to hear these days. The better side of humanity and what is actually possible if people truly did take back control. Up to us! bsky.app/profile/keit...

Moscow's mobile internet blackout sends sales of walkie-talkies, pagers & paper maps spiralling
Moscow's mobile internet blackout sends sales of walkie-talkies, pagers & paper maps spiralling YouTube video by Steve Rosenberg

Russian papers report the consequences of Moscow’s week-long mobile internet blackout. β€œSales of walkie-talkies are up 27%, sales of pagers up 73%...sales of road atlases up 170%.” Meanwhile, high oil prices mean that Russia’s β€œexport revenues are growing.” #ReadingRussia

Today's walk comes from a round of Loch Morlich in the Cairngorm National Park, Scotland. Rain, sleet, snow, sun, wind a cornucopia of weather

In an Irish Atlantic rainforest, a 'wolf' oak: the term for a tree much older than those all around.

A grandmother tree, progenitor and nurturer of the ecosystem, she very possibly grew when – even because – wolves still hunted these parts.

A nice twist on the word.

Can't help but think of the irony of 'Oil' now being the one thing that could actually bring down Trump. Definitely a moral in that story, and will hopefully reawaken the world to the true value of renewables.

The choice is more than clear now. Support Trump and you are supporting the end of international law, Geneva Convention, UNDHR and all the gains that have been made for the benefit of humanity over the last century. Wake up time is now. #AntiTrumpSolidarity
