I'm always suspicious when there are multiple bags of dog pooh 💩 placed in my wheelie bin. It is a great deterrent to stop someone looking into the bin beyond a quick view. It only occurs(placing of pooh 💩 bags) once in a blue moon, and it is even more odd today with the constant rain this morning.

Prunella Scales, who has died aged 93, was superb as Sybil in Fawlty Towers and in so many other roles. Here’s my musical tribute to a wonderful actress.

Interesting debate, yes China has no interest in the Atlantic Ocean(global actor), but do see the Indian Ocean(Oil supplies), the Southern Ocean(fish supplies) and the Pacific Ocean as in their vital interests.

Alex Luck @alxluck.bsky.social · 1d

I dont mean to dunk on Alex here. But there is this persistent misconception that PRC wants to "replace" the US as a global actor, including in naval affairs. This is wrong. Current PLAN priority is to allow dominance in Asia, including potentially having to defeat USN in a related confrontation.

Alexander Clarkson @aphclarkson.bsky.social · 1d

They can dominate their near seas for sure. I just doubt the capacity for global actor beyond them

1/ The Russian government is to implement what it calls a 'dronification' rating for Russia's regions, in which they will be assessed for their success in producing UAVs. However, as Russian warblogger 'Military Informant' warns, it's ripe for cheating and perverse incentives. ⬇️

As Barnaby Joyce threatens to destroy the Nationals, those close to him say he is smarting at the party leader he claims to have made and by whom he was ‘repaid with exile’.

If it was legal to register a political party under the name “None of the Above” and a candidate of the same moniker you’d win govt in a landslide.
