British politicians are bloody delusional it's been clear since #Trump was elected UK & EU were on are own. Jacob Rees-Mogg is just a modern day Lord Haw-Haw. He hates EU so much he's willing to side with an US administration that's hostile to democracy in Europe.

Apparently this lichen @northcavewet.bsky.social was wearing 'sunscreen' today. Xanthoria parietina, produces a chemical (parietin) that along with giving it a yellow colouration provides it with UV protection (perhaps a bit optimistic in Yorkshire ... in December 😆) Elsewhere: goldcrests.

Trump is an indecent man. His words and actions violate our values as Americans and as human beings. The depravity is accumulating—week after week—and if we accept it, if we shrug, if we say “that’s just Trump,” we bind ourselves to it. We make it ours.

Epstein didn’t run a trafficking ring alone. JPMorgan greased every hinge: loans, intel, money transfers, even accounts for the girls he abused. Staley wasn’t “misled”; he was operational. This wasn’t oversight. It was infrastructure.
