Scotland has had otters on its Β£10 for years
What the tories want, despite the British voting for "Woke Wildlife" π
"Remember green turns to brown under stress" π
If you have to explain your joke, then it wasn't funny
This is pitiful stuff
It disturbs me how little attention is paid to the Princeling Jared. He's just as dangerous as Trump. Why the free pass?
With mining of the Strait reportedly underway, even the incoming (food) shipments will likely stop, so valid worry there! I think a little overall damage so far. If the US & Israel continue to attack Iran - big worry.

I'm not expecting it to all collapse tomorrow, but I'm not sure how much longer this can continue before it becomes a crisis. There's about a hundred more desalination plants than I thought, thanks for that piece π, but food... Plus all these ships
Slowly at first. Then all at once π
I didn't believe that in the first place. I wouldn't even be shocked now if he turned up somewhere
This guy didn't have some form of Dead Man's Switch?
I've given up on that happening
But nothing is moving. Some desalination plants are destroyed and fresh food isn't being imported. There's a real risk of food shortages on land starting in a week or so, and all these ships with extra mouths to feed are just at anchor
Stores, yes, but for how long?
There are two reasons this is not going to happen: 1) the US Navy doesnβt have the spare ships (in part because it doesnβt have frigates anymore) and 2) it has no interest in letting the Iranians apply their preferred strategy of using swarms of missile boats to close with them in the Straits.
Apparently the captains should just "show some guts"
Except their guts will likely be wide open and strewn over the decks
It's almost impossible to believe that the USA could find a POTUS THIS stupid
Twice!
How are the crew going to get food and fresh water? Some have been there 11 days now.

Iran: "Okiedokie then. I'm not locked in here with you..." π

I shouldn't really mock the incoming catastrophy but humour is about all there is left
Who even knows any more? I'm half expecting them to just bomb the water from the air
If Iran keep poking him, and refusing deference to this "War by Tweet" reality show, he just might stroke out by the weekend π
This.
Anyone who knows the slightest bit of history knows how much of an insult this is.
1917 aside, we were alone in 1940.
Utterly alone.
You did nothing.
Even when you came into it you had to rely on our intelligence.
We remember also.
Go and fuck yourself you arrogant cunt.
And on that note from Otto, I'm taking my wine and going to mutter into the corner instead of online
(I'm rarely here with wine but I'm annoyed. Thanks Otto)
Yeah, it's that one
He demonstrates why no nation should do anything for them!
Farage is there, whispering in his ear like Wormtongue
I knew as well, but I had hope. Hope that Congress would remove him. Hope that sufficient people would surround the WH forcing his resignation. But these things have not happened. And as a Brit, I am agast
Yes, it took a while to remove Boris Johnson. But our guardrails worked. Just, yes. But..
I know he doesn't have long left, but it's too fucking long
Problem is even if he dies, those he leaves behind are even worse
This one will absolutely thrill you. It seems that OpenAI has agreed to do what Anthropic would not.

Why? Why do we permit these assholes to operate above the Law, and the morality and ethics which bind us all?
I was upset enough about these children. Why do Americans permit this murderous asshole to continue with impunity?
I'm sorry, I've had wine. I don't usually skull about online with it
I'm sitting here, reusing plastic containers, composting waste, conserving energy, reusing anything in my new garden, upcycling anything possible, all to give my grandchildren a planet to stand on
Meanwhile, unaccountable old murderous men blow up regions of the planet to look manly
Wankers

Another awesome day in #Iceland! Last day tomorrow :(
Here's more of that graupel stuff falling at Stokksnes this morning β€οΈ
Has this necrotic asshole ever heard of WW2?

I can't even put words to how upset I am that what I've been warning of for years, has happened π’
