Awww. Christmas over already.

The single decoration on my Christmas tree. A complete map of Ukraine, made by my friend Iuliia. Cлава Україні.

Hey! No snoozing during the day!

Halloween and done.

Halloween… I’m ready for you!!!

The view is better from a van.

My class today taught me a rule to live by. It’s worth a share:
“have strong opinions, and carry them lightly”.

English daily newspaper. Making America great again, all over the world.

The price of a dozen eggs since Trump got elected. 🤷🏻

How long is a minute? To me it’s 52s.

I saw a useful equation… called the law of 72. If you have savings divide 72 by the interest rate to get the number of years to double your money.
$100,000 saved at 5%? 14 years to double in size.

A man and a woman on a night out. Those coconut Mai Tais are expensive! $11.50 a jar!

Rouble is 100 to the dollar today, Interest Rate 22%, liquid assets down to $55billion with a budget reconciliation due in December.
Russia doesn’t have the funds to fight into 2026.

Government of the people, by the people, for the people? What’s that smell? McDonald’s? No, Oligarchy! 🤮🤮🤮

I got the US election totally wrong. That’s my first hairshirt Bluesky post.
I thought Kamala would win ALL the swing States, and run close in others.
Because I thought character matters. But I’ve learned it’s ’trumped’ by the price of eggs.
