Just a regular guy, just trying to make the best of a currency devaluation based society.

Your sponsors are as dangerous as it comes. Bobby is a nice guy, and you’re a failing blowhard.

Yes, an argument made based upon a personal attack is an ad hom, especially when either provably false or otherwise when completely unverifiable.

Stained glass window showing the figure of Jesus Christ in a bright red robe standing in the centre of group of oarsmen in a small fishing boat on a stormy sea. The sailors look scared, one of them is removing the sail. Christ has his hands aloft, praying for the high waves around the boat to be calmed.

After the weekend Scotland has just had with #StormÉowyn, this magnificent window from St Columba's Church in Largs, showing Christ calming the storm, seems very appropriate for #StainedGlassSunday!

It was created by the firm of Winton Ltd for the church opening in 1892. (1/2)

Good #MushroomMonday morning. Currently dark outside and cold at 14Β°. Today's January white object are photos of Shaggy mane mushrooms. Have a pleasant day!

That is something you might expect an extremely wealthy group of non-Chinese to say.

27 Jan: feast of St Julian of Le Mans #otd A very obscure 4thC saint about whom little is known.

Later promoted by Henry II who was himself born in Le Mans & baptised in St. Julian's (SelbyMay)

Julian was commemorated in the Sarum rite & many #English #Benedictine houses.

Does the Spanish version sound any more poetic?

Making up passages changes things too, often horrifically.

The Anunnaki, after all, are sky people, and that is something of which every pilot at least, should be aware.

They have bigger problems acknowledging the Anunnaki. Are we going to suggest correcting those too, since those are of even greater societal importance? Maybe we can require that before anyone learns anything else at all?

Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson), author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, was born #OTD 1832 in Daresbury, near Warrington. This 1935 memorial window at All Saints Church, Daresbury, depicts scenes from Alice in the bottom panels.

One More Dead Palestinian Kid Listen to a reading of this piece (reading by Tim Foley):

One More Dead Palestinian Kid

They killed a two year-old girl in the West Bank on Saturday.

Laila al-Khatib was shot in the head by Israeli forces in Jenin, because I guess they needed one more dead Palestinian kid.

I absolutely didn’t. When you study something on your own, you do it to learn the truth. When the government mandates you study something, it’s either directly materially useful for your job or propaganda.

What is strange to me is that many politicians, presumably such as yourself, find people that look different but think the same. Shouldn’t the test of a good politician be someone that can catch the admiration of a wide swatch of viewpoints? And the antidote is cooperative action, not community.

The other 37% probably are very rich or benefit from someone whom is.

Early breakdancing was rough. It’s not like you could just watch TV to acquire the necessary skills.

In government circles, it’s hard to know who is really fighting for efficiency, because if you don’t spent your allotted budget, it gets reduced next year. This means the incentive is not to spend less but more every single year if possible.

I really love the size comparison with these two #fungifriends ✨
