The mid terms are going to tell us if the American voting public are the most stupid people on the planet... or if they're just really, really slow.

I'm so tired of the French and how they keep shooting at Ireland's tax laws from the long grass. Ireland has overhauled its system massively from decades gone by. This is nothing more than the green-eyed monster bubbling over... Pretty pathétique tbh. #France #Ireland bsky.app/profile/darr...

Maybe the French would like to share their wine taxes "as they stem from income made across the continent"? Hmm? Anyone? Anyone? #France #Ireland www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

The grass is looking pretty good right now. Pretty good... #Mayo #Ireland #WildAtlanticWay #Belmullet
A photo of the field outside taken from my kitchen. The grass is very green. A cow is munching on it a few meters beyond the fence. A bay leading into the Atlantic Ocean lies beyond. The sky is filled with rolling gray clouds of various shades.

Absolutely MIGHTY stuff from the Mayo men yesterday! The curse has been lifted and Mayo become All Ireland Champions for the first time in 75 years! What a game! What a performance! 🟢🔴 #GAA #Mayo #Ireland #WildAtlanticWay
"I was trembling, actually. I had a great feeling with about 15, 20 minutes to go. I just saw the energy that was on display in front of me. It was quite remarkable. There was something just magical about the whole occasion... 75 years, the whole narrative around the curse is finally put to bed."

Reports also indicate that a Wildberries logistics hub in Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai, was attacked and is heavily on fire... by which I mean that it's totally fucked 😁🔥 ​Two of Wildberries logistics hubs are on fire at the same time: one in Krasnodar and this one in Stavropol Krai.

The old bog road... #Mayo #Ireland #WildAtlanticWay #Belmullet
The old bog road. A narrow, Irish road gently curves its way toward the horizon. It's flanked by ancient bog and with a hill gently crowned by wispy puffs of cloud far away to the left.

A stunning evening in Mayo this evening. Beautiful light approaching sunset. The dog loves swimming too.
My dog stares at me intensely from the edge of the water - desperate for me to throw the next some into the water for him to chase.A beautiful, silver-grey-gold sunset. A wonderful reflection of the sun shines down on the water of Broadhaven Bay.
My dog is but a dot out in the water. He loves swimming.Another shot of the beautiful, silver-grey-gold sunset.
The dog is out there swimming somewhere in this shot too.

Dog owners know it's hot because their dog is doing everything in super-slow-motion and with a face that makes them look vaguely stupid.

"Peace - through superior fire power." So it turns out that was some buuuuull-shit. The USA is choc full of idiots: A) those that are on his side B) those that aren't but are still paying for it.
Screenshot of two headlines running side-by-side at the top of BBCs news website...

Headline 1: Trump threatens to bomb bridges and power plants unless Iran resumes talks.

Headline 2: Trump retreat over Hormuz tolls suggests he is struggling to end Iran war.

I highly recommend taking sanity breaks to protect your peace. The shitshow isn’t going anywhere. Go for a walk. Read a book. Unplug for a weekend, etc. We have to pay attention, but we also can’t be consumed by this shit. They WANT you to feel overwhelmed. Don’t give them the win.

Actually, you do. Part of living in a democracy is accepting the will of the people... no matter how dum(b) the decision. Your side didn't do enough to make the difference. The blame can be shared all around on this one.
