Climate, international shitshow, human & environmental rights & whatever interests me. Irish, she/her. Mostly harmless but inclined to bite or at least relentlessly mock bigots. Irrational fear of harmonicas. Not actually a bat.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o... It would appear Kim's demise, the coup and the 900 troops were somewhat exaggerated.
Spectacular levels of petty spite, with a superb outcome (srsly, those are great fish drawings. And very definitely in lots of shapes.)
Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

I’ve slept on it now and when I woke up, I was still still mad about it. This morning, I’m going to ring the constituent office of my local FF TD and tell him just how mad it made me. Then I’m going to call the constituency office of my local SF TD, and ask if Matt Carthy’s support is their view.
No, I’m still mad about this consent business. I don’t think it is enough just to say it.
She lives in a castle and hobnobs with a baroness. But the elite are eg people on disability and people who don't think immigrants and trans people should be eliminated. Kristian is an idiot.
We might laugh at this or stare at it in pure disbelief but yes, this is the reactionary mind on display here. The smartypants people calling me a witless ignoranus on social media are in fact a globe-bestriding tyrannical elite that must be destroyed. Like Godzilla, but worse.

I do hate having to be suspicious of images now. Yeah, there was always photoshop, but you needed a bit of skill for photoshop to be convincing. And nearly as dangerous is defaulting to thinking everything is AI, ofc. >.>
As a heads up, that pink panther photo is almost certainly AI generated. The CRS text on the logo is mangled & proportions of the figure very odd. I ran it through a couple of detectors and they came back with AI too (although I'm not sure how good they are either).
What in gods name is Schiff trying to accomplish here, because this is not gonna help.
My first stop was Alberta, the only province not boycotting Californian wines. I spoke to provincial leaders about the importance of the Canadian market to California farmers and the importance of continuing close collaboration on dairy, beef and energy trade.
She did, in fact, endorse Harris, but either this person is confusing her with Tlaib or is just doing support manufacturing for deporting her. Could go either way. 🙄 ridiculous country.
I know a lot of people won't want to hear this but Ilhan Omar withholding support for Biden and Kamala has a clear correlation to her potential deportation

It is appalling that the Irish government has denied visas to these Palestinian students from Gaza, this must be overturned. #LetThemStudy Gazan students’ visas must be granted before it is too late www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...
No-one's ever explained to my satisfaction why a monotheistic god would have any gender. Or dimorphic sexual characteristics. Like, it requires a "di" for a start.
it's funny, i was just the other day workshopping a bit that was like, if god is binary and a man, then what do we think his body fat% is? like obviously he lifts, but does he lift to get bulk or to be lean and cut? is he on T? HGH? etc but they're doing it totally unironically
Under a normal admin, sure, but under this one? Hard to say, the Fairford thing was nonsensical on the face of it. It could lean several ways, none of which are particularly sensible.
📌The headlong rush to remove those B-1s from an allied air base in UK is NOT NORMAL. The intelligence necessitating such a chaotic withdrawal must have been daunting, and again points to the shoddy planning that went into this idiotic, unnecessary war. The world is far more dangerous place now.
Infinite goddam facepalms.
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro will face President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the runoff of a presidential election, after the challenger took some 47% of valid votes in the first round on Sunday, beating the forecasts in most private surveys. Madness. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
