By the waterfall cooling down on a hot day here in the isle of Mann
I don’t understand why you would buy these things.
Apparently the POTUS was praying for his immortal soul at this point. May God have mercy…..
The kindest interpretation is America is being led by an unstable senior with Daddy issues and dementia. Trump deserves our sympathy and our help. (Once removed from office.)
The road forked some time back, some people did not notice
Smells like Teen Spirit
Jeremy Bentham famously said all rights are just nonsense on stilts his own included. Perhaps that why they stuffed him and put him on display for kids to gawp at.
Earth day ‘All this beauty is of God’
Wonderful uplifting place
Fair few verses about God smiting his enemies, an obsession with race guilt, then there was the incident of drowning the entire biosphere apart from one arc, and the binding of Isaac. Plus he had his own son seek crucifixion.
We are not in 1940, thanks to the Triple lock Pension payments many going to millionaires are out of control, whilst motability revenues for BMWs topped £7bn. Yes there is need but also huge levels of waste.
He is lining himself up to split with Trump. That’s a good thing.
Well said. We all need to pull our pensions out of US stocks, once the run starts it will become a rout
Despite several millennia of contrary evidence so many of the weak persist in the view the powerful have their best interests at heart.
The world is full of people very unlike us, if we only do business with friends we do business with no one. But nor should we be Naiive. We need to play to win, not just show up or be the nice nerd who referees the game and is abused by all the players.

One side of the country aflame & the other under snow
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice
I think Democrats were acting as restraint on level of violence in Gaza that has now vanished, we see this on the ground. Re Ukraine I expect this to end next year as Ukrainians are exhausted with Moldova and Baltics becoming new conflicts. Waiting to see what happens in Georgia today.
We have seen Netanyahu significantly increase the violence against Palestinians since the vote and the ethnic cleansing of Northern Gaza is in full swing. I expect Trump to set the world ablaze in a fairly literal way.
Some of the Ancient Greek plot lines free will versus fate. The horror and pity of war, vengeance love and sex seem rather more interesting despite the desperate shortage of sharks (A Trojan shark was surely a missed opportunity)
Druid here although not an experienced one.
A stone set of steps, rustic in appearance, covered in Autumn leaves. A old fashioned red phone box and a streetlamp at the bottom of the steps as we look downwards. It's night time and the photo has a spooky feel.
Autumn in Bonchurch is always rather beautiful. It has a welcoming, yet eerie atmosphere at this time of year.
