Unidentified masked men surround your vehicle, weapons out and pointed at you. Your family is inside. They refuse to identify themselves.

This poster would drive right over them to get away.

Today, on a very warm Anglesey, Bryan Celli Ddu chambered cairn and stone circle @stoneclub.bsky.social

Six white standing stones and one recumbent stone stand in a rough circle like shape on a small patch of mown grass. Behind the grass grows long letting yarrow, knapweed and thistles feed the insect population. You can just about make out the lines crisscrossing the longer grass, under a cloudless blue sky as a soft orange glow bruises the horizon at sunset

For #StandingStoneSunday it’s time to revisit the striking quartz stones of Duloe. Since its recent acquisition by Cornwall Heritage Trust, the surrounding grass is now uncut, and the hedge behind removed, allowing the circle to breathe and, by letting wildlife back, giving it atmosphere. #Cornwall

The stone

This standing stone is no longer at its original site near Parracombe, but in a private garden near Linton. It has an inscription, CAVVDI FILIUS CIVILI that means Cavudus son of Civilis and the style of the lettering suggests c. 500 AD. Photo: Celia Haddon. #StandingStoneSunday

For #StandingStoneSunday I offer the Stone of Destiny, Lia Fáil, a one-metre granite pillar on a raised platform on the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath, Ireland. According to legend, High Kings of Ireland were crowned at the stone, which cried out if it was the true king. 🏺

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

I’m filing a formal request for information about the Trump Administration’s action and role in directing federal law enforcement and military personnel in a recent operation intended to intimidate those defending a fair electoral process.

Beautiful Uragh stone circle - what a stunner! It’s not just the incredible setting of hills, lake and waterfall, it’s just such a lovely circle with that tall guardian stone and the low stones in a ring. Was very happy to finally see this one! #StandingStoneSunday

We know the stones as engines of story, but they are also generators of awe. Within their boundaries a sense of the persisting ancient, our shared continuity with the long dead. They are lithic time machines, living in both the then and the evolving now. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

The old Lakota was wise. He knew that a man’s heart, away from nature, becomes hard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans, too. So he kept his children close to nature’s softening influence. — Standing Bear (Lakota Chief)

An unusual rectangle of standing stones within the stone circle at Castlerigg, near Keswick in Cumbria. The circle was constructed during the Neolithic in around 3000 BC, and is probably one of the earliest stone circles in the country. 📸 My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Cumbria

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h.

Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either.

For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

A close-up photo of a punk rock style leather jacket liberally studded with sharp spikes of various kinds and lengths, as well as a spiked leather choker around the neck.

It occurs to me that, given the number of ICE and probably faux-ICE assaults on innocent people--people being grabbed, thrown to the ground, and piled on--that maybe (entirely coincidentally) that it's time punk rock fashion came back in style.

Nevada AG Ford: I’m not running against Joe Lombardo. I don’t run against people. He’s running against me, to be sure. I’m running for the office of governor — for the people of the state, the people he has told to go f themselves.

It was a very bad week for Donald Trump: he got embarrassed by Putin in Alaska, caved in the DC takeover case, and lost federal court battles. He also lashed out at Americans, gutting consumer protections. Watch Legal AF live at 8p ET/5p PT!

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that Jeffries wants Mamdani to lose because of the sea change he represents for NY politics.

Jeffries, who is underwater with the party base, is a clear and logical target for a primary challenge.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."
