Trump/Putin Ukraine peace deal? WTF? Two habitual & shameless liars unable to keep promises? Putin is more to be trusted than Trump he's never made any secret of what he is. Putin isn't "playing" Trump. He doesn't need to. T is so blinded by vanity & so stupid he will accept anything Putin says.

Goodbye Vimeo! They got too big, they're in chaos, their chatbot is funny but needs an upgrade, their humans take 24 hours to answer your email. They seem confused and careless. The simple functions in the Vimeo customer journey are neither simple nor functional. Any recommendations please?

It is still winter in England. We are two weeks away from the Vernal Equinox when Spring officially starts and yet this morning a Brimstone butterfly ~ Gonepteryx rhamni ~ one of the few butterflies that hibernate through the winter is busy in the cold pale sunshine of our south coast chalk garden

Vance is getting most of the blame for the bullying & shouting but Trump chose him & we may judge a man by the company he keeps The shouting obscured the astonishing stupidity of the "policy" that the Tantrum Twins were advocating Is this Brain Power Deficit Disorder? Can BPDO be treated?

Tronald Dump, what can we say, he thinks he can buy the world and he is willing to trash his own country and his own country's reputation AND the world he wants to buy in order to do so.

The closer & more scummy the Trump Putin, dog and bitch, bromance the better. All political lives end in failure. The closer they are the more chance the fall of one will topple the other. Cheer them on, feed their delusions, hand them the spade, they'll dig their own graves and save us the effort.

I tried building an online shop on Squarespace. Possible but not easy. Thought I would try Shopify. What could be worse than Squarespace I thought? Now I know!
Squarespace will allow me to enter a link to bsky.social but it does not import the butterfly brand.

WTF ~ I looked at the "Popular with Friends" feed The featured friends & friends of my friends were all from USA, no problem there except lots of the friends I follow and who follow me are in UK or Europe. Is this US bias an algorithmic glitch? Responders pls remember I may be dumb but I'm friendly

If the planet & the human race is to survive we will need cooperation on a global scale, cooperation so close & so all-encompassing that it will amount to world government If we survive COP29 will come to be seen as a single though huge step on the long journey. Cooperation not technology is the key

I now understand why Trump is keen to own golf courses. So that he can hang around the showers measuring the golfer's "equipment". Looming out of the steam, tape measure in hand. I wonder if he has Koro? Maybe that's why he wears his suit jackets so long.

Spineless braindead Gov loves obesity jabs/drugs. Overall obesity cost to nation down & increase tax revenue from BigPharma up = win/win Treating sugar & sugar lobby same way as treated tobacco & tobacco lobby ++ better but = lose/lose for Gov. Costs more & war with ++ rich sugar lobby. Comments?

Bad Behaviour podcasts start 1 October featuring politicians business-leaders & policy-makers + vivid descriptions of their lies & prevarications, toxic self-interest, heart-breaking cruelty, moral turpitude, breath-taking hypocrisy, grotesque stupidity & derelictions of duty. Nothing new there then
