France is witnessing historic flooding. Some great images here.
(This is also climate change).

Like, the only "attention deficit" I have is for stuff that bores me rigid, and the hyperactivity is not a disorder.

OK, so I've never been able to commit to a subscribed academic or career path but at my age, that feels like a *you* problem. #ADHD

Finally! A word that's ๐Ÿ’ฏ times more descriptive of my creative processing than "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder". Hypercuriosity is *precisely* what I enjoy about my racing brain, that enables me to achieve so many disperate & technical challenges. #ADHD www.positive.news/society/yout...

In November 2013 a Ukrainian protest comprising thousands of college students became a Euromaidan of millions.

Normal men and women without strong political views faced down paramilitary thugs in the freezing cold.

Asked why, they said the same thing he does.

"They're beating our children."

Trumpโ€™s Behavior Isnโ€™t Dementia. Itโ€™s Much Worse. In October 2024, Donald Trump spent twelve minutes at a Pennsylvania rally discussing Arnold Palmerโ€™s genitalia.

Oh gross ๐Ÿคข ๐Ÿคฎ Yeah, my bad. It's not that I wouldn't have thought it of him but that it was so badly written. I figured he'd have had to have more of a grasp of "the queen's English", considering.....

๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ Oh boy yes, we really do. I'd say we're naturals at it, but that would negate the reasons for our whole colonial "thank ye, kind sir" dynamic.

It's the hope that kills you. I think the country could just as easily take them back after they promise faithfully to get help and change. I fell for that one too ๐Ÿ˜’

I'm fit to be tied. Like, I did NOT get to 54 without being gaslit but usually I divorced the fuckers.

As per my previous post, I'm definitely going to puke. And/or sharpen my bill hook.

Because it works for them ALL, and it's down to who gets out in front of it. The only voting public they're appealing to are Facebook junkies who fall for the likes of "I was on a train and foreigners were taking photos of my children". Trump handbook political gaslighting. I could puke, honestly.

What is wrong with us?

Why do we hand so much power to the bewildering inept?

We really are no better off than our deluded ancestors who allowed absolute power to whomever was the eldest heir still living when the previous despot popped their clogs because 'God said..'

FF & FG have had literally over 100 unbroken years of governance to do something. Yet they constantly act like they popped into existence five minutes ago and throw a strop if you suggest otherwise. Refuse to govern, refuse to take responsibility, refuse to do anything except say "DONT BLAME ME"

Err.... Guy..... That's A LOT in two months! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ No diabetes and cholesterol is great and all, but be careful eh?

1kg a week would be phenomenal and also safer, and also achievable on the no booze/no choc/no sugar diet ๐Ÿ™

A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

Oh my, just realised you featured twice.... In the august(a) company of James Joyce no less! What a great article. I love Frank's thought processes ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Your future researcher will definitely have some questions ๐Ÿ˜ Perhaps they'll find this thread.

Ha, that's gas! So both our experiences featured in Frank's article then? You with your middle name and possibly a faraway poetic look in your eyes, and me being somewhat disenfranchised and upstaged on my birthday by a pile of rushes on the school desk. Love it!

@frankie49.bsky.social happy birthday Frank, to you and to me! I also managed to avoid being named Brigid, Brigit, Bridget, Brรญd, Biddy, Birgit, or Bridey, to the absolute disgust of my Catholic granny. #LรกFhรฉileBrรญde
