Visualise dumping all your shit on a train before it goes out as you breathe out. Re stock the new train.

Repeat till you are too bored to bother.

There's a place for subtlety, but I think the flamboyance of this is wonderful.

You think that’s implausible ? The Guardian today has a recipe for using up leftover smoked salmon… I mean WHAT?
Anyway, the recipe involves doing smoked salmon-type stuff with it.

Just discovered that the author/illustrator of one of my favourite folk tales - Seven Simeons by Boris Artzybasheff -was actually born in Ukraine.

This cat refuses to eat cheap Co-op cat kibble - or did refuse until just now. I flung a handful out for the hedgehog(s) and so she is out there now, in the gloaming, hunting down and eating every last scrap.

The reality of Putin's regime.
23-year-old Varvara Volkova has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for "discrediting the army" on social media. She wrote that the russian armed forces had killed civilians and that she did not support the russian government.
That's russia for you...

A military court has sentenced Yakutia journalist Sasha Alexandrova to three years in prison for “justifying terrorism on the internet”. Her trial was held behind close doors and no details about her “critical posts” on Telegram were disclosed. therussiareport.substack.com/p/coming-soon

Apart from any other considerations, "Hitler was right," would never have been accepted as playground banter in the 1970s.

Not a hurtful or insulting milk shake, obvs.

One of the worst atrocities and one of the least discussed.

Good point. Though technically Old Noll only cancelled all the fun (“pagan”) bits of Christmas and not the bit where you had to sit, kneel or stand in a cold bare church, being harangued by a preacher with no jolly songs to cheer you along.

Brilliant job on the Trump libel

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites
