A “Oaxacan Old Fashioned” and a wheelie bin
A lowball cocktail glass on a white table in the garden. The sun is fading, and the ice in the glass is melting. It’s a golden colour with two koi-shaped slivers of orange peel swimming around the sides. Inside is a mix of tequila, mezcal, agave syrup, orange bitters and the orange peels. In the background is a dead garden showing signs of life despite the neglect. And an obelisk of brown with two wheels sits just out of focus - the wheelie bin.

Movies used to be so much more honest about what they brought to the table.

Exhibit A: sexy vampire action movie: Underworld Evolution
The back of a DVD for Underworld: Evolution. In big quoted letters is a review that says “no on sucks blood more sexily than Kate Beckinsale”

Near perfect day for the solar! \o/
A graph, with time on the x-axis, and solar power generation on the y-axis. The graph depicts a slow, parabolic, rise upto a peak of 4kWh. The graph forms a rough but satisfying semi-circle.

omg, what's this?? Irish Rail have redone their First Class carriage? With convenient sockets and wireless charging? Oh you darlings, I love it. #Ireland #IrishRail #Trains #CorkToDublin
A train carriage. Two rows of seats: the left made of quartets, and the right facing couplets. The seats are all made of a plush leather material and tables between both rows of seats are beige with a navy trim. A quartet of seats on a train carriage. The seats are made of a plush leather that's a mixture of beige and navy. In between the two pairs of seats is a long table with a single leg. The table is also beige, looks like a faux marble veneer. Along the trim of the table is a matte navy border. On the table is a lamplight built into the window, and inset in the light is a pair of plug and USB charging sockets. A closeup of a beige train table with a marble veneer. It shows the lamplight built into the window, and highlights the plug sockets and USB-A, and USB-C charging ports that exist on both sides of the table, for the convenience of both seats.

#VoteLeftTransferLeft party summary from twitter.com/Antifa_VP/st...
People Before Profit/Solidarity: Only major party to rule out supporting a Fine Gael or Fianna Fail government - under any circumstances. In constituencies where they are unlikely to win, your No.2 will be used - your No.1 will send a message that you want a left government! Socialist/Left Parties: In some constituencies there are some great socialist voices to vote for, continue your preferences to candidates of these parties - or give them your No.1 in areas where PBP/S are not running! Left Independents: There are several left independent candidates who would support a left government - research yours now! Social Democrats: Have progressive policies, and willing to work with whoever will help implement them. Have moved to the left since 2020, and would prefer a left government! Sinn Féin: Have recently moved towards the centre, including some overtures to the right. However Sinn Fein are the largest party on the left, and the only party which can lead a left government! Labour: Unlikely to support a left government, but if the numbers are there, their membership could pressure them. Local Issue/Centrist Independents: Vote for non-right-wing independents down the ballot, to keep FG/FF and the far-right out! Green Party: Not to be trusted following their stint in government with FG/FF. Will likely go into government with whoever has the numbers. Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil: No votes for Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil, other than to keep the far-right out! Independent Ireland/Aontú/Right-Wing Indepedents: Often operate as independents in disguise. Many are former Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil politicians, who share much of their politics yet have left due to holding more extreme right-wing views. Far-Right Parties: ¡No Pasarán!
