Be kind. It's really not complicated. Don't do anything to others that you wouldn't like being done to you... your existence is miraculous, you have won the lottery. Seize every minute on this glorious planet. Run. Laugh, shout, hug, kiss, dance, climb, taste, touch, and swim while you can. For most of eternity, we are nothingness.'

Who put the ball in the Wed*****y net? Rhian f*****g Brewster!! 🤣

Not sure. But I think they have formally requested membership of yhe Axis of Evil.

I was privileged to attend the first guided tour after covid of the City of London's Guildhall this last week. An amazing medieval building, dating back to 1440.

I wonder whether they've run out of champagne in the Kremlin yet.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops.

More of this pointed ridicule, please.

Excellent work

Wood carving axe and a piece of bark-stripped wood on a chopping block.

Beginning to make use of the skills I picked up (and tools I bought) last year. Still work in progress as the weather got the better of me. But this used to be a silver birch branch that I cut on the geoconservation day with the @ougeolsoc.bsky.social at Riddlesdown Quarry last autumn.

We found these 'stumble stones' in Rome. They're very similar to ones we saw in Berlin. A very poignant reminder of horrendous past events that we should ensure are never repeated.

First time in Rome. Amazing city!

Hi Ruth. I think there must have been a lot used in the constructionof Chertsey Abbey a few mile south too. There are a few old walls and an old barn where you can see pieces of ferricrete today.

The Geneva Convention (which the US has ratified) forbids the permanent and forcible removal of citizens from their homes.

Tell me again who won in the fight between David and Goliath.

American Christians are so ignorant about their "holy" book.

Whoever thought that Canada would be the next Sudetenland..?

How come Trump is berating the FAA for hiring people with severe intellectual disabilities? When is he going to berate the populous for electing him..?

User post states, "If what Elon did wasn't a Nazi salute then do it tomorrow at work."

Exactly. And film yourself doing it for social media!

It's quite a simple concept to grasp - if you're not gay, don't marry a gay person. There you go - not remotely controversial nor extreme.
