@cbannister.bsky.social inspired my choice for today's #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEphemeral #Ephemeral raindrops look like Champagne bubbles as they splash up from a small table outside our front window on a rare rainy day. A birdbath and a colorful whirligig can be seen in the background. 💦🥂

Yesterday brought two entanglement cases in quick succession. Flamingo had become tangled in a badminton net, tightly wrapped around her neck and a hind leg. She’s received pain relief and fluids, and the swelling in her leg has reduced significantly overnight 💚🦔🐾

So Badenoch would recruit a neo-Nazi but *not* someone who didn’t want to leave the ECHR or someone who supported our NetZero commitments. Second chances for this guy but not Dominic Grieve. The Tory party is truly wretched. It’s screwed the country, betrayed its own and lost its tiny mind.
![Badenoch defends former neo-Nazi pick as council candidate
By Will Meakin-Durrant
Kemi Badenoch has said her party
"believes in second chances".
, after
the Conservatives selected a former neo-Nazi once jailed for harassing a Jewish former MP as a local election candidate.
Joshua Bonehill-Paine
posted on social media that he was "tremendously proud" that he has been chosen to stand for election to Somerset Coun-cil, in the Crewkerne South ward.
Bonehill-Paine (inset) was jailed in 2016 after he was convicted of racially aggravated harassment.
He wrote several blog posts about the former Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, Baroness Luciana Berger, labelling her "an evil money-grabber" with a "deep-rooted hatred of men".
He was previously jailed for producing an ad illustrated with a picture of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, which promised "an absolute gas" at a rally in Golders Green, north London.
Badenoch said: "I want to be very clear - and I think people can look at me and know that I'm not a person who would be recruiting neo-Nazis.
"Josh is someone who actually has been certified by the Home Office to train police officers on antisemitism and on countering extremism.
"Yes, he [has] previously convicted but he has shown contrition for his crimes, has been rehabilitated and is spending every day working to solve the very problem which he knew that he had caused previously.
"And the Conservative Party believes in second chances."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4xtyto7nrklhfkroyrsce2w/bafkreicb7ehutwjwq4iundbhvecrngv57va75dd54vru2qurb7gq2ve3xa)
Code Black for water shortage in the Delft region of the Netherlands! No use of surface water (canals, lakes) allowed anymore. Water managers fear intrusion of salty seawater, as damage to dikes due to low water levels need to be prevented. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...
Vanwege de droogte voor het eerst de sluizen dicht in het waterrijke westen: ‘Het is code zwart, vanaf middernacht is water onttrekken verboden’
Droogte: Vanaf woensdagnacht gaan in het Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland de sluizen dicht en gaat een verbod in om oppervlaktewater te onttrekken. Dat besef lijkt nog niet bij iedereen ingedaald. „Voor...
