The light changed to red. The crosswalk signal told me to proceed. I paused. An SUV with a giant Jesus bumper sticker ran the red light and would have slammed into me if I hadnβt been paying attention. The driver? Distracted. Not a care in the world. Cops? Nowhere to be found. π

Ossoff: "What did they spend the most political capital trying to do over the last 18 months? Cover up the Epstein files. They worked harder to cover up the Epstein files than they ever did to lower grocery prices."
Trump literally did not get Zelenskyy get a word in during the part of their bilateral meeting that happened in front of the cameras. He talked about himself and made genocidal threats as Zelenskyy sat there stone faced.
I hadnβt watched #GBBO for several years, tbh. Somewhere between format-exhaustion and Pru Leithβs politics, it had just lost its shine. So, I am actually quite grateful to @nigella.bsky.social for giving me back a show I used to love. And after one episode, I cannot fathom it without her on it.
Vintage is awesome. I'm wearing an old Harris Tweed jacket with copious pockets that can simultaneously hold: β’ A small sketchbook. β’ Multiple pens. β’ My wallet. β’Β My phone β’ My keys. β’Β A Shih Tzu. Admittedly, I may have made one of those up.

Today, I wondered: How many days did WWI last? 1,568. And how long has the full-scale war in Ukraine been going on? 1,672 days.
It was right to criticise Ed Sheeran for standing by & letting his friend & fellow artist get thrown out of his tour for standing up for what he believes in and has always believed in, to stop the mass killing of Palestinians. But this hounding of Ed is too much now. Weβve seen how it ends, stop!
Nonsense! Gas prices have risen across Europe, Africa & the Middle East. Itβs not peculiar to Britain. What Monaco-based tax avoider Ratcliffe is trying to do is blackmail the UK govt to bung him some taxpayersβ money by threatening to close some his Hull plants www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ineos said natural gas in the UK is twelve times more expensive than in the US.

Shaheen: "He seemed to say Russian children have also been displaced & kidnapped, & that's just not true. It's Ukrainian children the Russians have taken back to Russia. They've taken them from their families, thousands of them. It is very clear who is violating intl law here, & it's not Ukraine."
This is an excellent use of public funds. It will save lives.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Trump is banning news outlets the week before a court's deadline for Todd Blanche to release interview notes with underage girls Trump is alleged to have raped and threatened. He'd rather we talk about his censorship than his pedophilia.
Many years ago, I saw a woman comatose in a car just up the road from where I was living. She had clearly OD'd and her lips were turning blue. I ran inside and called an ambulance and they gave her a shot of Narcan. Within minutes, she was awake and standing............
