And for the atheists amongst us perchance an extra option: "none of the above"?

Earring aids might yelp

That’s incredibly kind of you ❤️

Actually I’m not an amateur 78 year old I have nearly 5 months experience. But amateur at this stuff.

G

Thank you Victoria, yes there are a whole host of imperfections but it’s not meant to be a professional job, just an amateur 78 year old with time on his hands and a burning desire to do something about the insanity of the present moment.

Climate Song YouTube video by Richard Large

Simply titled Climate Song.
7 verses, exploring where we are, how we got here and what still should be possible. The anger should not be overcome by despair. We will not give up. Future generations deserve better than that.

If you have 7 minutes, I hope you’ll stay with it.

Climate Song final verse (7)

Four generations have witnessed massive, momentous changes.
Let's hope that future generations will be able to restore and repair the consequences of what has been done to our world.

And whenever she walks across your keyboard it''''''''s a chaotic catostrophe 🐾

Verse 6 - Climate Song

I revisited this verse because it depicted Lee Zeldin as a complete idiot. That didn’t really describe or do justice to that idiocy so I felt some evidence was appropriate.

G

Verse 5

The song was originally based on Dylan’s Masters of War, itself based on Jean Ritchie’s take on folk song Nottamun Town. This verse acknowledges both & also the idiocy of the Heartland Institute.

Very 😉

Being retired, Mondays are much like the rest.
Being retired, polarizing holibobs are a continuum.
Being retired, time is like a bogof.
Being retired, I'm trying to save the world.
Being retired, I'm not succeeding.

UK could adopt EU single market rules under new legislation Sir Keir Starmer is planning a law which will mean that the UK government can adopt EU single market rules, without them being voted on in Parliament.

It’s Good New Week 😊

Yes I was wondering if the trump message that he’ll blockade the Strait is a cunning plot to confuse Iran into thinking that they had better open it.
Or his magnificent clear-sighted vision is that keeping it blockaded can only be good for America. A sanction of sorts.

Yeah, sure that works 😳

I’d like to think that Vance’s & Trump’s attempts to keep Orban in power were the direct result of what looks like a landslide for Péter Magyar but I expect it was simply confirmation that people are starting to understand what makes for a decent society & it ain’t fascism.
Keep it rolling 🥳

Blossom time

Not sure the black screen does justice to this.

I agree.

Are you quite sure beautiful is the right word Victoria? 🤔
And practical? I’ve suggested undertaking the weight check before and after to see if he can spot the difference 😳
Verse 4 now available 🎶

Verse 4

G's had a go at haiku:

Shave shit and shower
BEFORE I get on the scales
Ev'ry little helps

😳
Agrees it's his first & last attempt.
Probably best 🤔

Suggested, nay begged, that he sticks to climate protest songs.
Assures me verse 4's coming along nicely...

Meanwhile, a more pleasant image:

Verse 3

Absolutely love this
You're always one to take the mickey

Verse 2

It’s because bark burns so well 😳
