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

Right in the middle of rain, the photo was captured the split second a droplet of water landed on the #Robins head like a crown! 👑

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

In a nutshell. 😊

Spat at, threatened and kidnapped: British Jews tell of rising antisemitism British Jews have described to BBC Panorama how they are experiencing a rise in antisemitism.

Yes. Netanyahu is bad, but nothing justifies this

😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾
TWO things i found on Threads that made me stop and think.

1. Confirmation that the media is biased against Labour and are working actively to bring it and SKS down
2. No surprise. Now imagine how Farage, the media darling, or any of his scummy crew would fare.

its just funny to me that the avatar of conservative masculinity is such a moist subservient cuck

It take weapons grade arrogance to invent popesplaining.

I want to enter a room with the energy of a cat:

“Is there anything I can mess up or eat in here? Nah?
Well, anyway, you're lucky to have me!"

IMHO this is one of the most beautiful intros in pop music history.

Breaking: Trump-supported Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán has lost re-election in a stunning defeat.

This comes just days after JD Vance traveled to the country to campaign for him.

Richard Tice says he's going to rise above the accusations of unpaid tax and focus instead on representing the people of his local constituency in Dubai. I mean Skegness.

Orban eating shit would be incredibly good news. That was the Epstein/Bannon/OG alt-right pet project for years and their model for how they want to gain permanent power. If they flip every lever there and still lose, there's real hope.

It looks like Netanyahu lost today the only European city break destination he could visit without being arrested for war crimes.

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

I occasionally have to force myself to remember that I am retired and no longer obliged to be neutral.
