If I ever reply to you and say "The problem is ..." then I apologise in advance.
I hate that phrase. There never is "a" problem. The real world is really complex.

If you use the phrase "common sense" instead of reasoned argument you may not get a reply.

The daily posts detailing those poor souls who were forcibly incarcerated there provide a sobering reminder of what happens when those without empathy are handed the reins of power.
Sadly, those who most need to receive these reminders won't be the ones 1/
12 September 1943 | Three boys and five girls born on this day in sector BIIe of Auschwitz II-Birkenau (the family camp for Roma and Sinti) were registered in the camp. All of them perished before the end of 1943.

You literally cannot vote without ID.

You must be registered, verified, and matched to voter rolls.

This lie has been debunked for years. 👇

Note: I used a 500 mm lens with a 2x extender attached and this photo is cropped. So I was not close enough to bother this bird. And I didn't stay long.

A young Adelaide rosella in the Clare Valley.
The Adelaide rosella is a subspecies of the crimson rosella and the young ones are very green.
There is a green rosella too - but they are only found in Tasmania.

Trump siding with Putin isn’t a quirk.

It’s a pattern and a national security threat.

Helsinki proved it.

This week he echoed a false claim about Ukraine attacking Putin’s residence, now debunked.

He believes Putin first.
America last.

It turns out that “Russia, Russia, Russia” is not a hoax.

DEI has been deliberately misrepresented.

It does not lower standards, it strengthens outcomes.

DEI widens the lens so excellence isn’t overlooked.

You are still hiring the best.

It simply ensures talent isn’t missed because of bias or exclusion.

DEI doesn’t replace merit.
It protects it.

These aren't regulars at BHB. Pied oystercatchers are resident there and almost always seen. I did notice that the pied oystercatchers chased this one away 😄

You know we blame Trump and rightfully so, that vile POS is a cancer on this country. However, we need to consider the entire picture. The Epstein files prove this. We had better get the Rich and powerful under control. Their greed is killing us. Make No One is Above the Law mean something again

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Trump sees politics as personal relationships between “strongmen,” not democratic commitments.

Importantly, “strongmen” here doesn’t mean competent, it means unaccountable.

In that hierarchy: Putin is the “real” power broker and Ukraine is peripheral.

My opinion: That’s why he calls Putin first.

Nothing says ‘excited’ like higher costs, fewer workers, and collapsing demand.

This is fantasy economics.
