Fantastic Mr Fox. Shot at long range under crap lighting conditions while I was trying to deal with nervous dog. I had to hold the camera with one hand. Canon EOS R8 ƒ/18 1/4000 400mm ISO3200. It’s a bit underexposed unfortunately. Absolutely pure luck.

Does anyone remember the late great Jerry Pournelle's Chaos Manor blog? He entertained interesting debates on whether the USA should be a Republic or Empire. Someone can correct me if I get this wrong but his view was, either way, it should at least be competent. Right now Trump would be Nero.

Being an Irish citizen and resident, I have an outsider's view of the USA. Many Americans abhor what is going on in and around the current administration. However separating the USA from Trump is impossible in matters of foreign policy. The USA is as presented by insane stories like this.

Clearing a clogged and flooded foul line in the pouring rain is a marvellous way of focusing one's mind. And the hot shower afterward is even better. The foul line is still flooded, so I will have further opportunities to marshal my thoughts.

They have got Kneecap's Mo Chara in court for waving a flag in 3 weeks. But it has been 5 years and Michelle Mone is still wandering about scot-free, while the people who murdered 72 at Grenfell are laughing after 8 years knowing they will never face justice.
