Fascinated by nature that can teach us a lot, amateur photographer. Political moderate. When all else fails go and hug a tree. All photos are mine unless I have reposted.

Speculation without knowing the facts is not a good idea. Just leads to crazy conspiracies.

That's really disappointing. They don't want the truth to be told or seen. That's too frightening for them. The land of free speech!

I would like to ask if the cut affected only self funded retirees, excluding pensioners wouldn't that be reasonable? I am a self funded retiree. I believe, there are plenty of wealthy older people out there who don't need this taxpayer funded support.

I actually think it's not only them. It's pretty much a general view, though there are of course exceptions.

The more demented and incoherent his rallies get, the longer and more coherent hisTruth Social rants get. So obviously not written by him.

Sadly, whoever wins the election it will make no difference for the Palestinians. I just hope Netanyahu finally faces the court for his corruption.

Gertie @maufie.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
Whatever the result there will be no change in the treatment of the Palestinians, many of whom are also Israeli citizens.

The Blue Sea Dragon (Glaucus atlanticus) is one of many magnificent lil critters in the ocean. It’s only 1-3 cm (0.4-1.2 inches) long. These tiny buddies float upside down on the surface of the ocean, hunting venomous Portuguese man o’ war, and using their stinging cells as defensive weapons. 🐉🌊🗡️

Murray Watt unloads on Pauline Hanson who in her question, says she voted against deporting hate preachers because she ‘didn’t like the legislation’ “I can only assume that, that was the measures we imposed to crack down on Neo Nazis…was that the bit you didn’t like?”🔥 Yep. 🙄

It’s the economy stupid, but it’s also health. And it’s happened, to borrow from Hemingway, in two ways – gradually and then suddenly.
