The very sad reality is that Donald Trump could crop dust the entire US in hot shit and some folk without two cents to rub together will still vote for him in the deluded belief that he has the ability to positively change their lives. Worst thing is, this is his second run at it. #useyourvotewisely

So firstly, yes it’s April-1. However I just want to align with you all on what’s been happening now that I’m back….. The guy who said he would solve the Russia war in 24hrs (time check please), now can’t stop warring a war that he himself has started? That’s Nobel peace prize material, fo sho.

Are folks simply ‘punch-drunk’ now? So many new Rubicons crossed, so many poorly constructed, childish arguments offered in defense of what is happening. So little corrective action taken by the Government bodies elected to hold the Executive branch to account. Always darkest before the dawn.

Some of the finds from my recent Mushroom walk, the CEP / Porcini / Penny Bun was delicious, as was the truffle. The Fly Agaric (red one) was left alone for obvious reasons! #fungifriends #foraging #wildfood

Every political election is nothing more than a popularity contest. Messaging is fraught with inaccuracies/misinformation. So what to do? We’re all human, so don’t get distracted - trust but verify. Support those with a solid track record, not for people that promise to deliver the ‘Garden of Eden’.

So let’s summarize, as things stand, tRump still won’t say a cross word to Putin & he’ll still send powerful bombs to Israel so that both can continue murdering children. I hope the Nobel Prize committee don’t check for that kind of stuff when they’re deciding who to give a peace prize to…😬 🍊🤡

I’m sure the Nobel Committee folks are lining up Trump’s peace prizes already. He might be too busy to accept though, being so busy selling bombs to the Israeli genocidal regime & sanctioning anyone trying to argue against ethnic cleansing, etc.

“Elsewhere today, Trump imposed on Brazil 50% tariffs to pressure the country to stop the trial of far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of coup charges. Trump has termed the trial a “witch hunt”.” - Trump’s deplorable reign rolls on. Not one ounce of credibility left. #trade

Great All Ireland Hurling final, neither Team left anything on that pitch. #Hurling is amazing, the skill, speed, agility & right-to-the-very-end tension make it, for me, the best sport in the world. Well done Tipp; hard luck to Cork. Hurling is better again for that final. #allIreland #speirgorm

Tomorrow is All-Ireland Hurling Final day. Cork v Tipperary - remarkably it’s the first time they’ve ever met in the final. I support Kilkenny, but you can bet I’ll be watching & enjoying it as a ‘neutral’! Here’s a banging tune to set the mood! 😉 👍🏻 @kingfishr.bsky.social #hurling #hurlingfinal

Mescan ‘Red Tripel’ is a Belgian-styled full bodied tripel, brewed in Westport Co. Mayo, on the Irish west coast. At 8% abv, this one is a sip & savour and is certainly one of my favourites. #craftbeer #beersky

When trying to insult Biden’s intelligence, he said that Biden ‘wasn’t the sharpest bulb’. . . Funny how I am 100% sure you definitely know who ‘he’ is. Sometimes in a speech, less is more, ya know?

If you’re a #hurling fan; and enjoy sporting tension with high pressure; and are neutral in terms of the match outcome, then like me, you are currently enjoying the Senior Hurling Munster Final right now. If you are a Cork or a Limerick fan, I’m guessing you no longer have fingernails……😄 #HonTheCats

It is astonishing, that a country which goes to such incredible lengths to remind the world (rightfully) of the historic horrors of war, genocide & ethnic cleansing, can so easily repeat many of those same evils on a dependent civilian population. Netanyahu & enablers bring only disgrace to Israel.

Ok, I’m about to give the impression that I live in a hyperbaric chamber or something (😉), but I just finished binge watching Department Q #DeptQ Matthew Goode, Alexej Manvelov, Shirley Henderson & Team are excellent. Genuinely gripping Scottish drama & just a great show. Well done @netflix.com

The UK-US trade deal dealt with none of the complex issues. One commentator noted that the pact was closer to a protection payment to a mob boss than a trade agreement between countries. A legally binding agreement will take months, even though the scope is narrow. But did anyone expect better? 🤷‍♂️

Did desperation drive Starmer to sign this ‘deal’? It makes very little sense other than to perhaps temporarily & partially avoid the clownish tariffs Trump printed on his play-school sandwich board & create further distance from the EU. I’m sure the rest of the world is paying close attention. 🤔

On the days when Donald isn’t insisting that everyone must respect him & dress appropriately’, he likes to spend his time pretending to the world that he’s the Pope. The most disrespectful, moronic, unhinged, narcissistic, childish American President, ever. This won’t end well.
Context? How does someone give context for this childish nonsense……

So, Amazon’s retail prices go up, they start preparations to make 14,000 managers redundant & initiate comms in anticipation of a quarterly drop in revenue & Bezos sycophantically lets the orange moron off the hook for the impact of his tariffs? This is the problem with billionaires. #nothisproblem

The 24 hours that Trump promised is all it would take him to solve the Ukraine-Russia conflict is starting to feel as long as his entire Presidency so far. It’s starting to feel like, I don’t know, he’s just been tapping us along…?

Distilled in 2002 in Cooley Distillery, this single grain whiskey was matured in a first fill Bourbon barrel, refilled into a H&H Madeira wine cask & bottled @ 57% abv. in Feb ‘25. Delicious notes of burnt toffee, graduating to some strong cinnamon spice, caramelised orange & honey. 😋 🥃 #TwoStacks

All of this orchestrated by the so-called author of the ‘Art of the Deal’. In reality, Trump couldn’t negotiate his way out of a paper bag. Respect to @scohar70.bsky.social for the transparency, not easy laying it all out there, but the truth behind the guff & bluster needs to be told.
