Here's something to cheer you up It's from the excellent Fungi Friends A fungus called Dog's Vomit No idea where they got the name

@bellingcat.com Some pretty serious allegations about Bellingcat's role in smearing women's right campaigners to aid trans extremists I've always admired them, but this is absolutely unacceptable Twitter link x.com/ForWomenScot... @forwomen.scot

Some I do but an awful lot i don't i wonder if the ones you see online are his offcuts

I won't post this then

And we open Volume XVIII of Trans Insanity with this delightful entry

No, never, apart from all the times it has

It’s possible this means something, to someone

Naive in the extreme, I’m afraid. Both because however good a salesman he is, Ukrainians won’t accept handing over primary lines of defence in the Donbas (nor should they) And because security guarantees have no meaning (see this from a place called Munich in 1938)

It’s always them

Funny you should say this. Just walked past the Czech Social Democrat HQ and saw this It’s a list of giveaways - all of them amazing

What about this? Talk about an open goal

If you really like the US, and I do, this image is enough to make you cry

The Guardian's third attempt at a headline after previous efforts proved to be wrong and defamatory Useful lesson for all hacks - When news reporting, keep your personal opinions at home where they belong

yes, yes, you were right

Then again

Wish I’d written this NY Times headline. (What does it mean?)

All you need to know about British seriousness on rearmament (not serious)

We're on the cusp of a generational change With unimaginable consequences

Very, very unusual to see defence as such a high priority for the British public The penny has dropped, we're at high risk

Please don’t ambush Ukraine again, Starmer asks Trump

In which a US immigrant (Elon Musk) calls a US combat pilot, astronaut and Senator a "traitor" for supporting Ukraine

Germany has enough money to secure its defence The question is whether it has the time or if the US pulls the rug out

I can’t bear to see the suffering of the British people, I care so much about peace that I must turn off their radar systems They can’t win, the needless deaths must end Elon Musk, June 1940

I’m expecting a very fierce White House reaction.

I mean, possibly, but this still makes my stomach tremble

No offence but I'll stay under the bridge, thanks

Awkward
