@ArtCandee This is a tub of water in my greenhouse that I use to refill the watering can. I filled the tub with fresh water 2 days ago.
I don’t think any American Democrats have been round and sabotaged it.
Soooo…
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has turned into an algae pond?
After Donald Trump fixated on “renovating it” instead of keeping our economy afloat?
Beyond symbolic.
Nelson does not know that the big black animal he shares a field with once carried a rider down the Mall through a wall of sound and never flinched.
Nelson does not know about the state funeral, the slow march, the drums, a nation watching through its tears.
Nelson knows that the big one is warm to stand beside on a cold morning, that he does not hog the good grass, and that he goes oddly soft when a particular man appears at the gate.
Nelson has assessed Hector thoroughly, the way a donkey assesses everything, and filed him under: fine. Large, but fine.
It is the highest honour Hector has ever been paid, and the only one that asked nothing of him in return.
🚨 Absolute madness in the US right now as the Uruguay national team gets pulled to the side of the road and treated like straight-up suspects.
They literally just landed for the World Cup and security is already ripping their luggage open on the tarmac with sniffer dogs everywhere
Qatar and Russia hosted without this level of paranoia but the "land of the free" is handing out pure humiliation to Global South athletes before a single match is even played, the double standards are screaming.
Dear Chris,
I can start by telling you who my audience is not.
It is NOT you.
It is NOT the pundit class that rarely leaves the safety of its Georgetown cocktail parties.
It is NOT the chattering class who gets paid to pretend it knows the mind of the American people.
It is NOT for anyone who looks at everything through the lens of politics.
The people I am talking to are tired of the bullshit.
The people I want to speak with are the 50 million Americans still sick and suffering. The families fighting for the lives of the those they love.
Whether they are people living in the shame and fear of being canceled, or consumed by grief after the loss of someone they love, they are just looking for a slight glimmer of hope that they too can get back up again.
My audience is the people who feel unheard, unseen, and uninvited, just like me.
My audience also includes my perceived enemies, those pitted against me by you and your colleagues in the media. I want to meet them where they are and help build a bridge. A bridge built of that which connects all of us. That’s where we begin to actually heal.
And it’s not as if my intent is difficult to understand or discern. Just read and listen to what I have said on this platform, and the 18+ hours of unscripted pod casts I have done.
I think your shock as to why anyone would care says far more about you than it does about me. Take a look at the comments to your post.
And I also know this: people are tired of the bullshit. They’re tired of you and the chattering classes’ obsession with my family as Rome burns.
So instead of wondering why people care about what I have to say, Chris, maybe you should concern yourself with why no one cares anymore about what you and everyone you represent has to say.
As I lay in bed scrolling through my phone I’m beginning to regret throwing away my pillow for a new memory foam pillow. If I close my eyes it’s like my head is gently resting on an anvil
This is not residual algae. This is not sabotage. This is not sea monkeys. This is not going away. This is the result of incompetence and creating a heat sink in a shallow non chlorinated pool.
@sirlablu@MorganAuCourant The furious eye shut and suck in of breath. He REALLY didn’t want to shake Macron’s hand.
I think he’d just been given a damn good talking to by the other G7 leaders and he was shocked because nobody in the administration ever tells him he’s wrong.
Perplexed! That facial expression looks like Iran served him a five-course humiliation meal, then sent him the bill. Imagine giving Iran $300 billion after they body-slammed you, pinned you for the count, and celebrated on your front lawn.
When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
