Remembering Trumps visit to Aberdeenshire in 2016. Still true.

Poster of Trump with the inscription „cheeto-faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon“ on it. This was twitter user MetalOllie‘s reaction to Trumps visit to Aberdeenshire in his first term and as true today as it was then, though I personally would maybe want to change it to „pasty, stale cheeto“ today.

Slightly off topic. The eeriest place I have been to in Ireland was a cillin. It overlooked a bay and at the same time could be seen from the settlements scattered around the Bay Area. As if the families wanted to be able to watch over the graves and/or the children could watch over the families.

Information placard about the Lohar children‘s burial ground. Inscription in Irish and English.
„From late medieval times until the middle of this century, children who died without being baptised were often buried in unsanctified ground, reflecting the doctrine of the time. Often such unofficial burial grounds, as in this case, are found on the remains of an Early Christian site, so participating in a more ancient sanctification. This site also includes a beautiful cross-slab, the carving on which is said to be based on metal crosses from the eastern Mediterranean.“
