Yes, hello? I don’t think 2026 is working properly. I’d like to cancel my free 5 day trial please.

As a mum who’s used to their kids bursting into tears at my food. I’m still trying to work out if this is all a fluke or if people do like my cooking. Either way thank you for a reminder: I can cook and kids can be dicks 😉Enjoy cauliflower soup & homemade rolls. #foodsky #baking #cooking #food #soup

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.

This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

A deeply stupid and irresponsible statement from Farage. As per.
The fact is that Farage is on the wrong side. He always has been and always will be. He’s a wildly corrupt, traitorous little turd. Not sure how any voters are still managing to convince themselves otherwise.

Woo wee I was pretty scared there for a minute but I'm still here. Apparently this was posted by some sort of crank or charlatan. Who would have thought that would happen?

A street scene from the '90s (see Alt txt for more info). This detailed watercolour drawing of mine from >30 yrs ago of King's Parade, #Cambridge was completed on the spot in about 3 hours. I was sitting on a metal box that controlled the rising bollards. Sold ages ago. #watercolour #enpleinair

Another of my watercolour drawings of Winchester from 1997 (still in my possession). I sat by some railings with my back to the cathedral and completed this on the spot even though light rain came on (I had an umbrella).

I took hundreds or more likely thousands of these types of shots on La Cumbre Peak in 2025. There were some strong contenders with more color but I love how many hills popped up that I don't normally see...so this is probably my favorite foothills shot of the year! #Photography #SantaBarbara #Sunset
