I agree with your assessment. However, you're part of the media system, aren't you? So you must have a better understanding as to why this story is being handled the way it is than most of us. Why don't you tell us what's going on at these other stations that can't call a coup a coup?

That's it. That's the post for which I unfollow you. How dare you burst my bubble like that?

Lol yeah, they offered us a discount rate of €70 for a gondola ride. We politely declined and explored the city on foot. The narrow alleys are much more exciting anyway.

Thank you. So far it always worked out, and I expect it to work out this time, too. I guess I am just generally a bit more on the anxious side and this situation stresses me me more than others. Anyway, thank you for your kind words 😊

Thank you 😊

A plant of some description, I've forgotten its name long ago. It is very green indeed.

Like every academic I can see the end of my contract approaching, and I can't help feeling anxious about it. Intellectually I know I'll be fine but that doesn't stop the vague sense of fear.

Anyway, to calm my nerves I've been looking at green photos all morning.

And eye? A tree? I don't know either.

A companion sinks into the soft sand as she tries to cross a dune in northern Colombia.

The wind blew the sand into wave-like patterns, except where a half-burried, weathered rock created some ripples. Now that I look at it again, the shading on the rock almost looks like a screaming face. The last scream of an ancient being as it is being swallowed by time?

Ripples in the sand. There for a moment, and then gone forever.

I grew up in central Europe, so seeing a desert for the first time was absolutely breathtaking. The sand flowed and moved like water, and in very much the same way we sank into the dunes as we tried to cross them. I could have spent days watching the ever-changing patterns and waves.

One is all it takes.

I'll follow you for now, but one weird post and I'm off again.

Didn't read the artcle but what I am taking away is that the dinosaurs had it a lot warmer and they didn't go extinct for millions of years. I say we do as the dinos did and prosper.

Not me, I am taking my NHS prescribed little blue pills!

Sometimes I feel embarrassed by how cheap it is to buy our politicians. In the US, oligarchs have to shell out millions to buy even one congressman, and here you get the Prime Minister for a pair of trousers and a visit to Specsavers.

Despite having been released more than a quarter century ago, the themes in The Matrix are still relevant today. In this essay I will

Yay, congratulations! But can you also live in a community and allocate resources based on necessity as your indo-european ancestors intended?

Not sure how to feel about this one.

Where would the US see its advantage in trade deals? Like, what is it that could force other countries to accept less advantageous deals? Genuinely asking because I have no idea about economics.

Some people highlighted the USAID's involement in ending the Apartheid regime in South Africa. I'm pretty sure he knows exactly what it did in the past ...

Did lots of doom scrolling lately. Can't say it did much for my mental well-being.

Quite the effort. I think I'll stand, thanks.

Venice's fish market in the historic city centre is alive and buzzing in the early morning, but when we got there the last stands had just packed up for the day and left the grand hall to the cleaners and the gulls.

Late to the party. On our first day in #venice we slept in, consequently missing all the morning action in the fish market. We only found a bit of leftover ice and a gaggle of hungry gulls begging for food. However, the fish shop next door had the most delicious squid, so all was good.

Instructions unclear, how do you sit on that?

A group of tourists enjoy their gondola ride along the Gran Canal in Venice. It is early and the city hasn't quite woken up, allowing them to enjoy their ride in relative peace.

That would make the perfect wedding gift for my brother! 😍

I am thankful to you and the handful of other journalists who offer fact-based, nuanced criticism of the powers that be. I hope you'll never age and never retire because there are too few of your kind.
