I *congratulate* those of you who elected Corbyn as party leader all those years ago, because you "wanted to make a statement". Oh yes, and so you did. It's the statement that just keeps on giving shots in its foot

$30 for 440 masks bought in bulk with free shipping. 3M N-95 being sold cheap because expiration dates may be too soon for institutions to buy. No need to use the flimsy surgical masks when the real ones are available this cheap. 7 cents each. #Medsky #EMedsky

Na, was macht ihr wieder für'n Quatsch da unten, ihr Menschen. Frag lieber nich, Eichhörnchen. #squirrel
Rotbraunes Eichhörnchen auf einem Baum, ausgerichtet zur rechten Bildseite. Das Eichhörnchen hockt, nah am Baumstamm, in einer Astgabel.
Auf den Hinterfüßen auf einem schräg zur linken Bildseite verlaufenden Ast sitzend, stützt es sich mit den Vorderpfoten auf einen senkrecht zwischen oberem und unterem Bildrand verlaufenden Ast auf, der einen Teil des Körpers verdeckt. Über diesen Ast gebeugt, schautbes nach unten.

To be fair, the pro-Hamas idiots in the UK and Europe, and those who find it an opportunity to be racist about Israel and Jews, have been doing FAR worse for two years. So I'm all out of sympathy for those who only focus on Musk.

Gurdur @gurdur.bsky.social · 15/09/2025
I wonder if you bothered noticing the last two years of violent racism on British streets which had absolutely nothing to do with Musk.

Gurdur @gurdur.bsky.social · 15/09/2025
After two years of seeing people openly display racism against Jews and Israelis on British streets, advocating terrorism and Islamism, and mostly getting away with it scot-free, I'm unsympathetic to those who suddenly discover violent racism to be a problem, or who think Musk is to blame.

A gentle whisper, the wind's soft sigh, Lifts tiny seeds to the open sky. From a fluffy crown, they drift and dance, Each a small hope, a future's chance. Carried on currents, light and free, To find new ground, where life will be. #photography #NaturePhotography #nature #photo #fall

For me, long-term (15 years) usage of Twitter meant a great broadening of my perspective, gradual moderation, and becoming much more normie centrist in my opinions. More loudly normie, though.

This is a very good post from John Matthews (scribejohn.bsky.social) on housing problems in Spain, esp. social housing, & how the present Spanish govt & the Spanish 'left-wing' are only making it all worse, by attacking Brits, Israelis, & tourism in general. scribejohn.substack.com/p/no-israeli...

No Israelis... No Brits
Archly left-wing, has Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez lost the plot when it comes to Israelis as well as visiting and property-buying Brits.

This 1830s illustration depicts "Cholera Prevention Man" covered from head to toe in protective layers in an attempt to safeguard himself from the oncoming cholera epidemic. One for @brunostrasser.bsky.social, whose new book THE MASK looks at a history of breathing bad air: shorturl.at/yKhGK

So @danielsugarman.bsky.social has written a very good post on what Jews, and anyone who supports them and Israel against racism, in NYC and further afield in the USA can expect, given the experience in the Corbyn years in Britain: cc. @lauferlaw.bsky.social :: www.jewishnews.co.uk/comment-i-ex...
jewishnews.co.uk
OPINION: The Corbyn years shows what’s coming. New York’s Jews should take note - Jewish News
Jews in NYC should understand what happened across the Atlantic when preparing for the coming months

I met a ladybug on my daily walk. She says hi. 👋🐞 (The ant was too busy to chat.) #NaturePhotography
A big round flower bud. An ant crawls on one side. A beautiful ladybug - but no, all ladybugs are beautiful - is posing on top of the bud.
