Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

Hey, I host a thoughtful, funny podcast called The Power Of a Book where I chat to interesting people about their most loved childhood books. It is in support of the Children’s Book Project which works to gift free books to children who have none of their own.

This picture will always be iconic. RIP Margaret Hamilton who wrote the software that successfully guided NASA’s Apollo missions through the moon.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

Well, that's a hell of a thing to leave next to a statue of Joan of Arc.😏

What am I doing? Auditioning for MasterChef or doing something horrendous involving tomatoes? 😆

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

Paintings like this wonderful thing leave me in awe of the skill of an artist. How can thin paint and canvas make things look so solid and heavy? How do they recreate the sheen of damp on solid surfaces? How do artists do what they do? If there's magic in the world, artists have surely tapped it.

Susan avoided the cracks with care And always stood upon the square - An unwise move, she was to discover: She fell down a manhole without any cover.

fesshole 🧻@fesshole.bsky.social · 2w ago

The ex had a phobia of manhole covers and would avoid them like the plague. I make a point of walking on each one I pass but can't help but thinking that one day she'll be proven right and that'll be the end of me.
