People on Bluesky to ask for money, I also would like money. Musicians are quite known for not having money. Composition of music is a particularly unrewarding task, financially speaking. Asking me for money is a fairly pointless exercise. Slava Ukraini!

This is Jacko (Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jumping Jack Flash, Jack in the box, Hungry Jack). On the left, looking at Jackoโs ear is Poppet, an ex breeding queen Burmese Blue. Poppet is exactly as youโd expect if you know your British confectionery: sheโs a little sweetie!

Nobody knows what the term โliberals/libsโ means anymore
liberal traditionally means left.
Liberal democracy is a different things.
Britain has a political party called the Liberal Democrats (lib dems) who are broadly centrists
Australiaโs main right wing party is the Liberal Party

Also, after Trumpโs time is over, thereโs going to be very large deficits to recover from. Iโm wondering if thereโs money to be made from charging regular people for the privilege of throwing rotten fruit at people like Noem, Miller, Trump etc
