For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

That moment when you realise you've trodden on something *way too* slimy... 😆

The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trump’s illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.

Dear Dead Dad,

Thanks for moving from Wales. You've saved me a lot of subjugation from that prick in the hat.

Warmest regards,

Fat, idiot son (alive)

Today's to-do list.

Burn Wessex to the ground.

Subjugate the pesky Welsh.

Slaughter the Danes.

Drink wine.

Tomorrow's to-do list.

Burn Wessex to the ground.

Subjugate the pesky Welsh.

Slaughter the Danes.

Three books and a tote

Three books and a tote

Went to @fiveleavesbooks.bsky.social and once again the philosophy section has been shuffled to a new location.

Found two books I liked and then realised if I found a third I could get a free tote bag.

I found a third 🥳

"Once again"... Surely philosophy should not remain static! Well done on the tote.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

PM Sanchez is right

Donald Trump’s economy is a disaster. Prices are far too high.
He stole thousands from every American through tariffs. His ICE goons are killing people

So what does the Epstein-in-Chief do? Starts a war with Iran

Naturally, gas prices are skyrocketing

Yet HE rakes in BILLIONS

Big respect and congratulations to Hollie Davidson, the first ever female referee in the six nations. She's had a brilliant game and hopefully she'll be called on for many more six nations games.

In Iceland, even when the worst is about to happen, we never go down without a desperate fight against the odds.

Thirty days hath September,

Unless a leap year is its fate,
February hath twenty-eight.
All the rest hath three days more,
excepting January,
which hath six thousand,

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

10. It’s time to recognise how deeply weird this is, reserve our votes for people who give us what we want, and stop subscribing to media outlets that lie on behalf of oligarchs.
More on this subject, with facts and figures, in my most recent column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

PM Mark Carney simply told the truth! The old “rules based order” is breaking! Power is being abused & middle powers won’t survive by pretending everything’s fine!

This is what leadership looks like!

We want everyone to wake up feeling good about life. Just look at Stan Wawrinka today, winning GS tennis matches at nearly age 41. Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson were still world class players in their 40s. We have cricket players in their 50s in Iceland who still believe.

In the light of recent political confusion about the identities of Iceland and Greenland, we feel the need to post again this map of our local geography.

The wonderfully lovely Rick Steele requested this portrait back in June 2022.

I don’t know what the cat is called, but I’ve named him Lee.
