47 is his favourite number, it seems. The orange idiot falling over his own ego again.

I'm stunned that neither of the dogs found these, or the dead rat I picked up a few months ago. Peggy would roll in it, and Loki would probably eat it and make himself very ill--and cost us thousands in vet treatment!

It's even worse if, like me, you're constantly snacking!
Almost as annoying as those stupid 'headphones' that hook over your ear, which were obviously designed by someone with short hair and no glasses!

Reminds me of that saying about playing chess with pigeons.

Was it accidental, or was it carrying out Israel's stated desire to kill all 'past, present and future' leaders of Iran?

I'm old enough to remember when Western countries used China as an excuse not to invest in renewables because "China's emissions will drown out anything we do".... awkward.

The savings we're getting here by annihilating decades of American science will pay for whole minutes of the operation to create decades of death, immiseration, and chaos in Iran.

On weekends, SΓ£o Paulo closes a 900-meter section of the Elevado JoΓ£o Goulart, AKA β€œMinhocΓ£o” (big worm), an elevated highway through the center of the city. It becomes an elevated linear park, open to pedestrians & cyclists, w. tables, chairs & giant board games. My photos from yesterday.

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Iran.

From the always reliable @juddlegum.bsky.social

β€œCNN reported that both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to strike Iran. Like Saudi Arabia, the UAE has significant financial ties to Kushner and Trump”

How long till CNN can’t report these kinds of stories??

The rat was white with grey patches, too. Didn't look like the usual brown wild ones. Might have been a former pet, or descended from one. I'm surprised the dogs hadn't made a beeline for the stash, it was definitely starting to stink.

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez: β€œToday more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Gross, I found a local cat's stash in the back yard yesterday--a dead rat and a decapitated bird. The bird may have been a waxeye, based on the yellow wings.
Please put a bell on your darling little predators, so they don't kill birds!

I'm ashamed of our government. Today supporting an illegal war is a nail in the coffin.

This is not the NZ of nuclear free, of anti apartheid, of the Treaty of Waitangi Act.

This is neo-liberals and populists run amok. Not the country I want nor that I'm willing to excuse #nzpol

Inpex originally reported just 4 tonnes of benzene, a chemical classified by the WHO as a class 1 carcinogen β€”
Other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) linked with health risks, including toluene, were also drastically revised upward.
