In March I placed a bet at 12/1 that Trump would be replaced in 2025. I'm disheartened that it has not yet happened - ballistically would do just fine.
I'm surprised that the odds on a 2026 exit are 5/1. I might treat myself to another punt.

A glorious photo. I don't know why, but all photos of animals staring into a camera up close make me smile (unless they scare the shit out of me, that is).

Understandable. I've done it myself in a fit of "oh fuck it!".
On a wild tangent, I think being a fan of Heath Robinson helps with playing this game.

I never cease to be amazed at just how pettily vindictive the Trump regime can be. ICC judges and prosecutors sanctioned by the USA for having the temerity to issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza.

A good, thought-provoking analysis from a fine man. Well worth reading.

Good symbolism. I was immediately reminded of this painting by Samuel Palmer. The why escapes me.

I'm perfectly that DMGT has purchased the Doollallygraph, as long as it results in opinion writers such as Allison (tin foil hat) Pearson and Allister (look into my eyes, not around my eyes) Heath receiving even heftier doses of psychoactive drugs.

Trump's timeline of "Truths" is fascinating. Once you get past the MAGAbot memes and the dull but earnest acolytes, you find real people, many, many of them disgruntled Trump voters who are starting to take issue with everything he says and question his ability.

What a curious person Danny Kruger is. I can see him fitting into Reform rather well and becoming a significant player. The idea that he might view Reform as a "brownfield" site is quite alarming.

I am slightly surprised by the length of the sentence and must look up the judges sentencing remarks. Woof, there must be more to this than I could be bothered to allow to meet my eye.

Well, unlike Mad Nads she is in the House of Lords.

Truth Social is such fun. Trump has "truthed" a whole set of fawning praise from his gullible acolytes. Amongst them is no other than Lozza Fox! (Remember him?)

I'm going to give in and sign up for a 7-day trial of Paramount+.
I just hope I remember to cancel it after I've binged on South Park.
PS I am not a _total_ pervert, but some things have to be done.

I'm now minded to buy some good marrow bones, if I can find them. I'm also thinking about some andouillette, but I doubt I will be able to find any locally.
I used to have a copy of this, but then I stupidly lent it to someone.

Is that a scrambled egg sandwich with Branston's or a cheese toasty with lime pickle? I could eat either. Anything else would be filth and not proper British.

Picky, I grant you, and somewhat missing the point. Mind you, I would eat one if offered. I _really_ don't want to search for other definitions.
![A slopper.
"A slopper is a cheeseburger (or hamburger) served smothered in red chile or green chile or chili sauce. Sloppers generally include grilled buns and are often topped with freshly chopped onions and sometimes french fries.[1] They are typically eaten with a fork and a knife or spoon. The slopper is served in restaurants and taverns in the Pueblo and Colorado Springs area of Colorado. Versions of the slopper are also served throughout the rest of Colorado and parts of the United States."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pbfqwm3pmn3xjiiy76p5bvka/bafkreiawb3ujxz4euk77pk6pcjwm6m2nvyuifaze2f2jrtmrnyrsx5yzui@jpeg)
