This incredible creature showed up in Sligo at the weekend. It can live to 500+ years, doesn't reach sexual maturity for 150 and has a gestation period of 8-18 years! Wild...

US President Trump appears to be giving the last rites to Jeffrey Epstein in this.

"I told you to leave that bit alone!"

This is Linda Carney in 1963 when she worked as a machinist in a factory above the Jewish Soup Kitchen in Spitalfields. Linda is one of the many local people you will meet on my tour. thegentleauthorstours.com/p/booking

This sounds more like Epstein is suggesting that Trump can be controlled by being seen to give him something. "churkin was great. he understood trump after our conversations. he must be seen to get something. its that simple." I'm not saying that Trump isn't a slimeball and corrupt as hell - he is.

A powerful plea for compassion, written over 400 years ago.

The US is being run by a New York Mafia family.

Does Donald Trump never stop to think that if he bombs a desalination plant in Iran, he is normalising attacking the water supply for ordinary people? He is actually putting the people of the United States in more danger than they have ever been before. What if there is sabotage of water in the US?

Major anti-Orbán protests in Hungary tonight!

I really hope these people can take their country back tomorrow and free us all from the burden of dealing with an overgrown russian puppet.

Bright sunny scene, a train in the distance on the left of two railway tracks into the distance where they bend away, amid trees and various greenery in the foreground. One or tall tree on the right and some smaller ones cast shadows across the tracks which are otherwise mostly in the light. The sky above is a lovely bright blue with some random picturesque white clouds, one of which is quite big and white topped, the rest fainter. There are some houses and back gardens with hedges visible far along on the left. If you take a magnifying glass to the picture, you can make out the tip of the Wembley Arch, in the lower middle of the picture alongside a prominent dark evergreen treetop in the distance.

Chiltern Line train going away east, not stopping just passing by Sudbury Hill Harrow station in the distance. By the way, if you look very closely, you can always see a bit of the Wembley arch from this viewpoint. #photo #railway #Harrow

We spend billions exploring Mars, yet we can't fully fund the protection of our own planet's lungs. The Congo Basin absorbs 4% of global emissions—more than double the UK’s total output—on a shoestring budget. It's time to invest in what keeps us alive. #ClimateFinance

Bloody hell. Someone down the road from us had all their oil nicked out of their tank last night.

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com

We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

Childhood should be like this,
filled with joy and laughter.

One day, Ukraine will be full of these moments.

Broken link?

He says people in Iran love to be bombed. They're not happy unless they are being bombed. He won't say no to bombing schools. He raves about war and killing *to children waiting to do Easter egg rolling*, tells them Kamala Harris is a low-IQ person and blah blah. Foul evil oozes from his every pore.

Watch and listen to this and you will realise Orwell's satire is only homeopathic strength compared to the poisonous, diseased, megalomaniacal, murderous sludge oozing from the hated mouth of Donald Trump and swallowed by his zombified flunkeys, backed by sickos and thickos. youtu.be/zCmMKa0AJA0?...

An idea guaranteed to annoy all factions equally. As part of a treaty, a reunited Ireland would rejoin the Commonwealth. Now time and combine this with Britain re-joining the EU or at least a new UK-EFTA and you're looking at a United Europe.

I read somewhere that tattoos on the forehead are often a sign of mental illness.
