Two of my favourite photos from tonight's walk #nature

Golden hour - a field of grass and a green tree.

Golden hour - green grass and gold light with a blue sky.

Of all time? Aeris dying in FF7. Recently? Before Your Eyes. It is so sad. And so good!

Can you imagine how massive this tree must have been when it was alive?

An interesting towering trunk of a massive dead tree.

One of the best duck pics I have ever seen!

A solitary herring gull, the end of Saltburn pier and waves gently lapping on the shore. There isn't much in this photograph, but that's what I like about it. #Photography

Timbit Trump has gotta keep those billionaires donations flowing in...

Our Ontario premier threatened to tarriff the electricity that we sell to the states by 25%, and Trump responded by calling us abusive and saying that he would declare a state of emergency to "respond". Please stand with Canada!

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler #skybrary #skybrarians #booksky

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads:
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Just a quick one, I have met some fantastic people on here. You are all absolutely amazing. Thank you all for following me and engaging with me. I appreciate every single one of you. Have a great weekend and stay safe. This is the view across Loch Morlich in the stunning Scottish Highlands

A random cloud at the coast, late in the day. 📷 #photography #naturephotography #nature #seascape #oregon #ocean #sunset #weather #clouds

This image shows a striking cloud formation over the ocean at sunset. A large, dark blue anvil-shaped cloud dominates the sky, creating a dramatic silhouette against the yellowing horizon. The ocean below is calm and reflects the blue of the sky, while the sunset casts golden light along the horizon. The combination of the dramatic cloud, ocean, and sunset colors creates a stunning natural scene.

I use DuckDuckGo to get out of the Google ecosystem that keeps serving ads and malicious websites and to avoid A.I. bs...urrrrgh.

It's honestly uplifting to see people like yourself stepping up to help others! You are a gem 💎

I definitely believe that laws restricting corporate donations to political campaigns and barring politicians from stock trading while in office would help, because at least it would allow us to hold elected reps that engage in that behaviour accountable.

I don't think that there's a system that we can devise that cannot be corrupted because people run the system. Changing the people so they aren't entrenched and don't hold lifelong power (democracy) and holding them accountable is the best option we've found so far.

Grumble Pug @grumblepug.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

They aren't one in Canada yet, though I agree that the States is trending towards oligarchy. I agree that there are problems and that governments are often inactive or ineffective. But you're going to have to replace it with a system made up of people. And people are all falliable.

Grumble Pug @grumblepug.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

Depends on what problems you're looking at. Government institutions are the only ones able to check and balance corporations. Without a state, we would be bound and restricted by the banks, the platforms we use, the companies we labour for, etc. So there has to be a state - but they can do better.

Grumble Pug @grumblepug.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

I think there does need to be a state - it's not just the paperwork itself but the methods behind the execution and enforcement of certain rules, laws, and codes that we need to examine, who we put in charge to carry them out, as well as our own assumptions and acceptance of these mechanisms.

Canada geese will even fight bald eagles - hint hint.

Pretty cool shot of a gulls eye where you can see me in the reflection. The bird was white but I darkened the feathers to highlight the eye. 🪶

The eye of a gull where you can see a reflection of a street with cars the ocean, a fence, and me

Pour one out for poor JD 🤣 Why don't they complain to Trump? Or Musk?

The argument that bureaucratic mechanisms have an inherent violence to them and are weaponized against disadvantaged groups is absolutely a cornerstone of his work. I'm reading "Debt" right now and he brings up similar ideas there.

Yeah, Americans would be raging if our PM said that they should become the next province...and forgive me if I don't care what the American alcohol manufacturer thinks about Canada's response 🤣
