In Bruges. Unbelievably, we have today people who are interested in staging a Nazi reboot, only this time in the United States. Stay close to the candles.
Today is the 15th anniversary of Mick Karn's passing. One of the world's finest bass players, this photo from 1979 has Mick on the right, with Japan band mates Steve Jansen & Richard Barbieri. His faux outrage at being snapped is a fine example of his dry humour and wit. Rest in peace. #mickkarn

I thought this was Ali G, but it's a lookalike. This is Dani B as Ali G and is available to hire as a lookalike. But since Ali G is just one of Sasha Baron Cohen's many characters, isn't Dani's Ali G as real as Sasha's? Discuss. www.alivenetwork.com/bandpage.asp...

We've just seen in the New Year with one of Samuel L. Bronkowitz's finest: Cleopatra Schwartz. #Kentuckyfriedmovie

I caught this one hanging out in Bruges. Spot the cormorant.

A US podcaster thinks Adolf Hitler is cool. Here's his 6th Army after surrendering at Stalingrad. He didn't let them withdraw and even promoted General Paulus, hoping he would kill himself. 100,000 were captured and 6,000 made it home. His own people meant nothing to him. Narcissists are toxic.

I am not anti weasel. I love weasels. I just don't like weasel words. Beware politicians that use them.

I only have a few shareable insect pictures and this is one of them. This is a Lime Hawk Moth (Mimas tiliae) resting on a garage door in Bruges, West Flanders, taken in June 2023. #moths #lepidoptera

I love herons, they remind me of an old man in a raincoat at times. Very patient. We used to live near a river so I got a few photos like the one of this guy, who wouldn't even let a frozen river stop his watch.

So, Jeffrey Epstein remains dead, as does associate Jean-Luc Brunel.

Ghislaine Maxwell for now, remains in prison.

And now Prince Andrew is the Andrew formerly known as Prince.

I'm trying to formulate a list of Jeffrey Epstein's American associates who have been prosecuted or punished.

Trump's performance in this video is so shockingly bad I doubted the authenticity. These are AFP photos from the same event. Trump's positioning matches the video.

Diane Keaton as part-time philosopher Cousin Sonja from Love & Death (1975).

"Let's assassinate Napoleon!"

Getting repeatedly hit on the head with a wine bottle as a distraction to knocking out the Spanish ambassador.

"Do you find me attractive as a man?" "Yes, I think that's your best bet."

Many people are saying that Jesse's roleplaying friend is John Glenn, Senior Vice President of Fox. But wouldn't that mean that Jesse Watters is living a lie?

People are saying that he had also previously appeared as a resident of Gaza.

Jesse Watters caught with his pants down. These anonymous guests are the same person, but I suppose it's nice having a friend who likes a bit of roleplay. Is Jesse Watters not being straight with us?
