“Our territory and our sovereignty are not for sale. We’re not at a Christmas bazaar.. ..russia wants us to surrender. But my reply to you is this: you’ll get nothing but the hole of a bagel - not Ukraine."

lol I love that Habba thinks she can quit a job she never had. That reminds me, I need to resign as the prime minister of Australia.

Welcome back to another #TrilobiteTuesday

Here is the positive and negative impression of Amecephalus idahoense. This specimen comes from the Middle Cambrian Spence Shale Member of the Langston Formation in Idaho. The spence shale is a unique group of rocks that preserves soft bodied organisms.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Ark. Mom Attended Final Divorce Hearing with Husband. The Next Day, She and Her 2 Kids Were Found Slain Charity Beallis, 40, of Bonanza, and her two young children were found shot to death on Wednesday, Dec. 3, in their sprawling Arkansas mansion

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

14 rumors about Ilhan Omar, investigated As we have repeatedly reported, the claim that she married her brother lacks credible evidence.

Just a reminder of August in the garden from 5 years ago on this blustery damp December day.

Happy Tuesday! I'm heading back to New Jersey after a very productive trip on Cape Cod so here is another photo from Sunday morning taken eight minutes before the sun broke the horizon at West Dennis Beach. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Watercolour of gardens in #Winchester with the cathedral in the background. This was done on one of several sketching visits in the '90s. You can soak up history in Winchester which has a wonderful atmosphere, dank and timeless, very nostalgic for me.

Jonathan Turley is obsessed with me to the point that it's creepy. I suppose I can't expect more from a guy who is essentially just Mike Lindell with tenure.

The United States gives far too much power, money, and influence to silly people with heads full of nonsense.

For the ultimate in end-of-week Zen, here is a video of the firefly display tonight at the massive multi-acre Gardens Aglow holiday lights exhibit on Cape Cod. Tap and turn horizontal for full-size. I hope you have had a great day!

This is correct, and won't change. The poor and uneducated are easily swayed by fear, emotional appeals, and misinformation. Wealthy elites use their resources to push societal narratives and keep their power while undermining social cohesion and education. We're cooked.

ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Abstract painting with browns, ochre, rust, dark green-gray, and a bright royal blue, in vertical lines and curves.

Early Winter

Why Quebec’s plan to enshrine abortion rights is raising alarms Civil society groups are warning that the Legault government’s plan to enshrine abortion rights in Quebec’s proposed constitution could have unintended consequences.

Reproductive rights groups do NOT want the Quebec government to enshrine abortion rights in the province's proposed constitution. First, it's not really a constitution - it's a regular law that can be amended. And that would turn it into an anti-choice weapon to restrict abortion.

Musicians playing Irish music in a Cambridge pub painted using mixed media. From left to right a fiddler, a tin whistle player, a guitarist and another whistler. A fiddle lays on the table among the depleted glasses of beer and Guinness. The gold-embellished mirror is a great feature of this pub and the dartboard is just sketched in on the left.

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

This DEFINITELY an enigma....
