They're cloning the dogs They're cloning the cats They're cloning the pets of the people that live there.

You're right. You are: Three dots and then choose from menu.

"What will Pedolf Shitler come up with today to distract us from the half-hearted assassination attempt (which was to distract us from the Iran "excursion," which was to distract us from the Epstein files etc etc.)?" That's what we think at lunchtime in Europe when we realise the US is waking up.

Thanks, Vance. Your kiss of death worked its magic again.

Sunshine helps though. (I put where I live as a term of comparison.)

This is the "casual correspondence" she talked about yesterday.

I see... ...and is this New Regime President in the room with us now?

If the Iranians wanted to make the troll move of the century, they could publicly offer to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the release of the unredacted Epstein Files. And then watch him squirm until he dissolves completely.

This could have ended so well. Like Inglorious Basterds.

Senile Satan thinks he's trying to get a land mass the size of Africa when it's actually the size of Mexico. Like the way he thinks his hands are a normal size. #greenland #mercator #senilesatan

Wow, got me there

You're welcome.

I bet he'll find a way of selling off bricks from the White House demolition as souvenirs. But they'll be worth more once he's knocked the whole thing down. Grifter's gotta grift.

Captain Bonespurs says what??

@jemmaforte.bsky.social @marina-purkiss.bsky.social A shot from the Italian general strike that I thought you might like! (This is from Bologna this morning)

General strike across Italy in support of #sumudflotilla, which was illegally blocked in international waters yesterday and all 400 crew members taken prisoner by Israel. Giorgia Meloni's response is clearly on the side of Netanyahu and not on that of the Italian citizens illegally imprisoned!!

So bigly sad. And true.

It ended with the demonstration blocking the ring road and then the motorway, which if you know anything about the geography of Italy, means the national road transport is cut in two, blocked between north and south. As we were leaving, the police launched hydrants and threw tear gas. Just for fun.

It started out as a national strike and a peaceful demonstration in Bologna Italy, asking for the Italian government to guarantee safe passage to the flotilla for Gaza, along with countless other cities where ports and stations were blocked, a foretaste of what will happen if the state does nothing.

Here's something to read in the meantime

Got my summer read.

They don't have the self awareness of a two-year-old.

He doesn't look like he's having much fun. Let alone Melania.

Gee, Captain Bonespurs sure looks like he's having a whale of a time on his birthday. And Melania's enthusiasm for the parade charade is almost palpable. Almost.

It's gonna rain on his stupid parade...

Hunh, it really is going to rain on his stupid parade... (Temps in Celsius)
