What Americans call left and right, the world calls empire.
Your left bombs Libya.
Your right bombs Iraq.
Your left funds Israel.
Your right funds Israel.
Your left starves Cuba.
Your right starves Cuba.
And when the dust clears, you ask which party was more humane while the corpses look at you in silence.

Forget all the huge supermarkets and their mawkish Christmas adverts, this was the best Christmas advert - Enniskillen pub Charlie's put out this advert back in 2023. It’s brilliant.

This is the most 'fanned out' photo of a little bird I've ever taken! 😀
It's a female Chaffinch head on, using it's wings and tail to slow down. 😍😊🐦
“Finally we can see a world without Donald Trump”
A brilliant summation of the joyous defeat of the Republican party in Congress by the erudite @IanDunt. There is a light at the end of the tunnel but while Trump’s in office - remain vigilant!

Dr. Charles Gardner: The public needs to see older people like me talking about how nicotine vapes or pouches helped them to quit smoking. Sharing their lived-experience: "My health improved."

Oh f**k 😥
I’m not worried about me, but my heart aches for the negative repercussions my son may have to endure.
Wake up world - it’s later than you think!!
This is nothing to do with politics, it needs a collaborative effort from mankind.

A true “high art meets pop culture” moment .
When Rudolf Nureyev appeared on The Muppet Show, it wasn’t just TV—it was history.
One of the greatest ballet dancers of all time stepping into a playful, chaotic world of comedy and puppetry, proving that classical art can be both elite and wildly entertaining .
A rare crossover that American audiences still talk about today—timeless, unexpected, unforgettable.

So sad to hear Steve Ellis has died. Lead singer of The Love Affair his soulful rendition of “Everlasting Love” resonated with a generation.
When I first saw him on TOTP he looked like he was bunking off school. He was 17. Roger Daltrey will be upset tonight - they were great pals.

My late mother was a professional opera singer, whose favorite aria was Nessun Dorma.
Anyway, we watched the 1998 Grammy Awards together because her favorite opera singer, Luciana Pavorotti was scheduled to sing, but at the last minute, he had to cancel due to a sore throat, and with a half hour notice, Aretha Franklin agreed to step in and sing, even though it wasn't her key, and she had no time to rehearse.
This brought the audience to tears.
Watch this amazing performance by the Queen of Soul.

In 1960, doctors told Édith Piaf she was gravely ill. She was told to rest. But her beloved L’Olympia theatre in Paris was facing bankruptcy. A few weeks earlier Charles Dumont and Michel Vaucaire had brought her a new song: ‘Non, je ne regrette rien.’ She heard it once and claimed it as her own. On December 29th, “the little sparrow” walked onto the stage, motionless in her black dress, and sang with unforgettable conviction. That night she saved a theatre. Frail in body, indomitable in spirit, she remains one of the greatest singers of all time.

Goes a way to explaining why severe drought seems to appear rapidly now, despite wet preceding conditions.
Water vapour pressure deficit is a measure of the atmosphere’s ability to suck water up from the ground. It’s nearly doubled in the last 40 years
