And what I've found
Is mostly worth it all
The wisdom of the future
Is the past
In city brogues
And wise old southern drawls
The words that say the most
Say things that last

Riding on the world go round
Being me and what I am
And what I am
I'm just a man
And the most you can ever do
Is the best you can 

Bill Withers

After a long night 
(Through a merciful might)
(Pray the devil back to hell)
Who brings the sun to sky?
(And so they rise)
Dressed in all white
(The women have come 
And carry the light)
(Putting an end to all the fight)
Love knows no sides

Mon Rovรฎa

[top third is bright white, bottom two-thirds is burnt orange, the transition between them is soft and uneven but still abrupt]

Close-up of a brown female blackbird standing on snow, with a dusting of snow clinging to her beak. Her feathers show soft mottled tones across her chest and wings, and her dark eye is ringed with a thin yellow circle. The background is blurred in cool grey and purple hues, highlighting the birdโ€™s warm brown colouring against the winter setting.

My cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borb, bird looking round or pear shaped, the Alt theme is #Gulls. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

This goober came home to live with us fifteen years ago today. He spends a lot less time playing and a lot more time sleeping next to the heater now, but Guybrush is still the Best Cat.

The people who bothered to vote gave their verdict. The fault was setting a badly worded question.

Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do soโ€ฆand which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.

The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.

Of course, the irony of Trumpโ€™s post about us needing to send a โ€œhospital boatโ€ to Greenland was that it only emphasized the point that we, in fact, do not have any hospital ships in service right now that are available, while Greenlanders have free universal health care.

Binding ref or Advisory Ref doesn't really matter in the end. Once you have sounded the whole of the electorate and received their answer, it becomes what needs to be done. Because it is the will of the people.

Mr Carney is very competent, which is attractive to citizens and voters. He is a Centre-right leader of a Centre-left party.

Carney's incredible secret sauce seems to be - say what the problem is, whose fault it is, what you will have to do about it and what it will cost.
