Oh dear - fans of the 🇫🇷 rapper Jul bought 'bargain' €5 tickets to his concert in Sweden, only to find they actually had tickets to a Swedish village Christmas fair (Jul = Christmas in 🇸🇪)

Ils pensent acheter des places à 5 euros pour un concert de Jul mais réservent pour un spectacle ...
Une commune suédoise s’est étonnée de voir les places de son spectacle de Noël se vendre comme des petits pains. La raison ? Des fans de Jul

Today I learned that carbon footprints were invented by BP and pushed in a mega marketing campaign to shift the conversation from corporations to individuals and I hate everyone.
Except NPR, thanks for the reporting.

Moody skies last night.. the walnut trees along the terrace now full of yellow leaves, too. Feels like winter is coming, although it was so mild that we had lunch outside!

A new eruption might be about to start in Iceland within the next few hours.... Earthquake intensity is increasing and they've become shallower indicating that magma is rising.

It’s cold, dark and a bit miserable outside. The perfect time for a @nigelslater.bsky.social comfort recipe. Sweet potato and chorizo (I have added confit onions) it is.

This is the face of an outraged dog.
Himself has crisps and is refusing to share. So she came to me for shared crisps, only to discover I’m not eating any!

Hamas figures.
Never forget Hamas trapped their own people in Gaza. Whatever you think of Israel, right now, also remember Egypt didn’t open its border and Hamas has fired on every humanitarian corridor opened. And didn’t build a single bomb shelter for its “human shield”, for all those tunnels.
