Aurora 2026-10-10 ...and the Milky Way and Andromeda and possibly the Triangulum galaxy as well, I think. Pretty decent display. That green arc was particularly bright. #aurora #auroraborealis #perthshire #strathearn #scotland #nature #nightsky

Aurora, milky way, Andromeda and possibly Triangulum galaxies. It's a photo.

The first bottles of Coca-Cola from 1894 contained around 3.5 grams of cocaine. Explains why our grandparents could walk to and from school, uphill both ways, in the snow, barefoot.

Sanctioning the #InternationalCriminalCourt #ICC is so much more than just "regrettable". It marks the end of the 1945 settlement, and of the so called #RulesBasedInternationalOrder. To describe this as "regrettable" is mealy-mouthed and grossly inadequate.

It's really time that all the other sympathetic countries [obvs including the UK] stand up properly to the US and isolate it. Flattering him and humouring him isn't working, and it's preventing all the electorates from realising what is at stake and what it will cost to face up to the challenge.
