Some people seem to feel like I was a little bit down in Iceland and the Faroes! Au contraire, I was the soul of levity and joy!

@bsky.app Iran’s World Cup Statement Worth Reading From Medias+: But what struck me most was the note Iran’s players left behind in their locker room in Seattle.... It thanked the city for its hospitality and spoke about honor, fairness, and standing tall regardless of the result."

Israel is a terrorist and criminal state! An aerial photo of a vibrant green football pitch in Gaza City, set incongruously amidst the rubble of concrete buildings destroyed during the two-year conflict with Israel...

This is not good. But Republicans ideas of personal liberty and freedom are always somewhat skewed!: Republicans turn from LGBTQ support

Won't be long until there are automatic murders after us.  As a matter of fact, I think they are already here!

I think Iran is doing pretty well in the war, all things considered!  And, as I've posted before, only Donald Trump and MAGA could make me cheer for a theocracy!

Martin Rowson on Middle East peace talks – cartoon.  From the Guardian!  2026 04 10   He certainly packs a lot into these; much more complex than North American political cartooning!

Israel committing crimes against humanity. Those are not military targets! Palestinians gather to break their fast by eating Iftar meals on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, near the rubble of residential buildings destroyed during Israeli offensive, in Gaza City, 18 February 2026

It becomes more apparent by the day that President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth started a war with Iran simply because they could, unable as they are to say exactly why they jumped into the conflict or articulate any coherent plan for ending it.

Elderly control of household wealth.  Probably roughly similar in Canada too.  The younger are doing much worse than they used to.  Though a significant part of this is caused by changes in the age distribution among the population!

@bsky.app Texas geothermal energy is booming! Interesting. I think there is also a lot of geothermal in Iceland, but possibly the country has too small a population to make the chart.

Pretty disgusting, isn't it? Canada is nearly as bad! "A new study from the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research finds that people across the world dramatically underestimate how much CEOs earn compared to regular workers and prefer far smaller gaps.
