Horribly right-on feminist, part of the vanguard of female bass players who will (hopefully soon) take over the world. Crazy cat - and dog - lady often found up a mountain or with my head in a bassbin somewhere

Um... blimey. Wish I hadn't clicked on this on my laptop. Don't look too closely - you'll wish you didn't have eyes

What the hell is that It's not human is it? Trump's definition of a woman is getting more and more out there.

Why not? Art can be powerful, and it's literally what the world thinks of Trump. He's immature, and has no strategy. I think it's amazing that it's on show like that. And the designer is giving away the design for free so anyone can 3D print it. What would you suggest instead?

One hundred percent. Our little monkey brains have not evolved fast enough to cope with mobile phone technology - and power will rest with those who capture our attention. We're losing our capacity for critical thinking and now we just react.

First thing I thought when I saw the post. What a horrible fake picture, what a lame response to a dreadful crisis. Such a shame - shit like this diminishes the subject.

Who are the gurning sycophants next him at every press conference? The haunted drag queen next to him looks shady af (no offence to drag queens)

This website is unreadable. So many ads, extra articles, pop-ups - it's a mess.

It's well over five metres long...!! Lollollol. Parking and maneuvering is going to be fun.

You've made a lovely garden for them, they look really happy _ thank you for getting them off the street before something really awful happened to them. It's brutal out there.

What an unbelievably dumbass comment. You've seen 30 secs of video + you're judging some dogs you don't know, about a story you know nothing about, on a clickbait site... maybe they did? Maybe some of the dogs were killed by wolves. I work with these dogs (Kangals) + they are brave and kind.

Al Cross @speedwellstar.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
My rescue dogs give me purpose - I know I've done at least one good thing with my life, I gave an innocent animal a decent home.. These three look happy and healthy, whatever you're doing, keep doing it! 🥰

FYI some of the replies to you have been blocked at my end because they're bot accounts, just so you know. Looks like the pro-Depp troll army is still very much out there fighting for their boy. This was a thing during the courtcase + is still going on it seems.

Also there are alot and I mean alot of bot accounts standing up for him which is creepy

I'm so shocked to see so many people defend JD. Yes they're both awful + we'll never know what happened. But I agree, the pile-on from all over the world, combined with his massive following, PR campaign and huge budget, meant that whatever didn't go up his nose went on that courtcase for sure.

All power to them. What happened was disgusting and barbaric.

hey guess what, you can stay alive without killing and eating the corpses of innocent animals by the way 👍 It's not hard, you just don't eat the dead things.

It's so fake. It's just clickbait. And by commenting on it, I'm just encouraging it. Agh!

It's fake. Forget it.

I'm confused - I thought she was a victim too, and a good example of what this post is about

I didn't know that mirrors could work mounted on a dashboard - would it not just show the back of the seats? Good spot about the guy tho 👍

That's a cool thing to do. I thought it was animation, but made by AI, not people.

um... it's AI

- but this infantilisation of the natural world (eg. painting an akita's claws pink) shows how far from reality we've come. It's a stupid fad, I hope this sort of thing goes out of fashion soon.

Al Cross @speedwellstar.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Lol... so much support for treating animals like dolls. I didn't say dogs shouldn't be groomed, although it's not good for a dog's coat to be washed often - especially with all this fake-ass chemical gloop that no dog really needs....

Al Cross @speedwellstar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Yes, and the mirror, and the cafe sign... *sigh*

Thanks I was thinking the same thing. Was the rear view mirror really on the dashboard?

Kangals 😍

I dunno, I'm watching at work (oops) on a screen that's nearly a metre wide. This is a common breed of middle eastern sheep - they have long necks + look more like goats really. Fair play for calling out AI but I'm not sure that this is. The kangal + pup are spot on (I have a kangal myself).

Folks are doing this for clicks, do you think that a big hunting dog like an akita wants to spend hours in a hot smelly salon, being tarted up so its owner can entertain people on youtube? Lots of animals come to our shelter with bleach burns, tattoos, pierced ears - this is unacceptable.
200
Al Cross @speedwellstar.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
What wonderful what-about-ery! It's not one or the other is it. I see animals all the time with bleach burns, or who have been forced to pose for youtube vids, because the internet encourages to people treat animals as belongings or things to show off, for clicks. Painting claws is totally dumbass.
001
Al Cross @speedwellstar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
So much product on its lovely fur. Stupid pink claws. That is a very patient dog. Its owner must have money to burn. I've been kicked off so many photography groups because alot of dog owners dye their dogs fur nasty pastel colours + I objected - now, some poor Akita has a pedicure. It never ends
000
Al Cross @speedwellstar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Why Just why It's a dog. Our relationship with nature is now so fucked up that we think this is acceptable. I've been rescuing big mountain dogs for years - this is just the owner being pathetic - it does not benefit the dog in any way, but it does appeal to idiots on insta.
