“I’ll stop drinking if you let me run the Pentagon” is maybe the most alcoholic thing anyone has ever said

Anyone picking me up fromTwitter … I’m singing ABBA on the tube. Name of the Game to be exact #PartyAftermath

The Bank of England governor says Brexit has undermined the UK economy. Hold onto your seats.. YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic

With all the discussion taking place on UK news shows right now about the need for growth why is no one pointing out the OBR report the Gov’t keeps quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15%. Have they just not read it?

It's probably not a good day to remind people that Trump's son in law walked away from his White House gig with $2 billion from the Saudis.

I'll wait until you're finished being mad at Joe pardoning Hunter for being his son.

Massive away win for the little fella.

Those saying Joe Biden’s pardon of his son gives “permission” to Trump to issue wild pardons forget that Trump never asks or needs permission to do anything wild.

can we all stop talking about the "Hunter pardon"?
FFS to all of the media & pundits..
we have a real time coup happening and this is what you're focusing rage & energy on

Here’s a crazy idea. Let’s make sure the proposed new FBI Director can pass an FBI Background Check.

This picture I made will bring you joy (you have my word)...

Yes, I’m very well, thank you! I still can’t comprehend the election 😳
Hoping to see more VV friends on BlueSky now that the mass exodus has begun

How are you? All well?! 🤓

The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

A massive cloud of gas and dust is seen in dark, dusty red, with its outer portions a translucent, ethereal gray. Several stars and distant galaxies are scattered throughout the image.

A circular-shaped nebula with a complex structure. On the circle’s exterior, particularly on the left side of the image, are curtains of material glowing orange like fire. Interior to this outer shell is a ring of mottled filaments in bright pink, studded with clumps and knots. A greenish loop extends from the upper right of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green, and red appear throughout the image.

The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission nebula called NGC 6357, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster is seen here above a small portion of the nebula. The gas below the stars glows through ionization caused by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive young stars within the cluster. The strong radiation and stellar winds from from these blazing, blue-white stars also pushes the nebular material outward, creating one of many low-density bubbles within NGC 6357.

once again thinking about the fact that this is all just OUT THERE and we can only see it through the eyes of telescopes

A little small cat sitting on the ground, next to a mural with an archaic painting or graffiti of a black cat. Text reads: His arrival was foretold in the ancient murals.

Thanks, darling! Now I need to sort out my avatar!!
