A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown. 📸 Dawn Denise Boyer of Gloucester, Virginia

The FBI director. The world has always been run by madmen, but I’ve never seen this much insanity coming at us from every direction in 60+ years.

Putin's economic stall admission won't kill his Soviet revival "wet dream". Oligarchs will revolt once they see their empire's crumbling. Thoughts on Moscow's next play?

This should be the official portrait in the Whitehouse!

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

BBC finds “a consistent pattern of spikes in trades” minutes or hours before Trump’s biggest statements become public.

Analysts see hallmarks of illegal insider trading.

Is anyone surprised here?

Why do we feel safe & calm outside when we hear birds sing?
For thousands of years, our ancestors learned that birds signalled safety, and this instinct remains etched in our nervous system.

Here's an array of bird songs.

My favourite flowers are the wild ones! 🪻🌼

War is the preferred recourse of the violently unwell and politically rotten. A crime against life.

A pattern in synch with markets

The EU wants phones to be products you maintain—not ones you replace as soon as the battery wears out or the next shiny model tempts you with its bling.

Yep— it’s best to steer away from those unchecked, inflammatory comments.

The Strait opens. The Strait closes. The pundits pivot. We pay. Every time.

Would be nice if this were a universal law—and if it weren’t so hard to prove that companies deliberately design their products to fail early.

And please don't tell me that my phone looks outdated & that I should get a new one when it works perfectly fine.

Maybe we’re inching in that direction.

A shocking interview that reveals how violence against women remains a grim reality, even in countries we think of as safe.

There’s something chilling in this quote and the contrast it draws between men’s & women’s fears still feels painfully relevant today.

Meanwhile, it's back to Mr. Mayor Mamdani.😄

A Russian TV host & former Kremlin‑aligned influencer just went viral for telling Putin to his face: “People are afraid of you.” In Putin’s Russia, even “loyal” dissent can be dangerous—don’t you think?

Well done, Germany. Germany has several major solar parks already, so I’m not convinced that Cottbus is the largest one ever. Do you have a source for it?

I like your responses here. Back then, without social media & with limited access to quick news, I imagine many people either forgot about past tensions in the Strait, never knew about them or simply didn't pay as much attention as we do now. Here's to playing outside more & getting off our screens!

Two leaders doing what decent humans do.

That’ll be the day when the nightmare ends and hope I’ll live long enough to see it.
