Trump loose on the world stage is reliably giving every American a good dose of "second hand embarrassment".
Please don't hate me for my schadenfreude.

This is the horrible part about FAFO that no one in DC seemed terribly concerned about while just casting their votes. They can't say they weren't aware! They just want to be perceived as unaware of the fallout. Meanwhile we are going to endure some serious pain. All of us. #WhatWereTheyThinking

Every time I visit the #Ovation in #Hollywood I marvel at its hideousness.

On topic, So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright. I welcomed the evolution of the skip button for that one.

More generally, Lost In The Supermarket by The Clash. One of the most un-Clashiest Clash tracks. #WhatWereTheyThinking?

Day 5 of proving bird names makes no sense.
The naming is all over the place for this fairly common north American warbler. A name is supposed to describe the species/paint anyone a mental picture easily. This species got its name for the shape of the nest it builds🤦🏻‍♂️

Day 5 of proving bird names makes no sense.
This is another interesting one. This fairly common Australian robin was called brown flycatcher till 1926. Then its name changed under colonialism supposedly due to its winter call.

Now it’s a mob boss. Or a porn star.

Day 4 of proving bird names makes no sense.
This is an interesting one. It was supposed to have a hummingbird added to its name at the end. But during some point, someone decided to omit it and that name have stuck since! Like what???

I give up🙏🏻

My first romantic suspense cover 👀 🙄

“Everlasting Love” — & everlastingly confused cover choices.

They look like they just met at camp & someone said “Pretend you’re soulmates.”

But hey, FIVE STARS, baby!

Much of Leith Walk is unpleasant and disconcerting for pedestrians. We're the permanent afterthought.
#Edinburgh #WhatWereTheyThinking
The big question - will the surface on this revised cycle lane be as catastrophically bumpy as the rest of Leith Walk? Standing by with the accelerometer...
Very glad to see some needed pedestrian, cycling & bus stop improvements start today at Elm Row including bike lane fusion, a ped. path at London Road corner, bollards at Montgomery Street & I believe cycle access too. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Today we were forced to watch the once great USA go out with a whimper. I expected better.
Sad.

I didn’t think so but I wasn’t sure and didn’t want to assume. TY 4 lmk. I’m horrified by how many legal immigrant non-white citizens voted for this madman. #WhatWereTheyThinking other than ‘I don’t want to take orders from a black woman’? Idk.

I can safely say that THIS....

is the most *tone deaf travel ad* that the NZ Herald has ever run in its time.

You can't make this stuff up. But NZ Herald can make stuff-ups!

The USA has never looked weaker than it does at the moment. 250 years of goodwill lost in a month. Stabbing friends in the back. Embracing a murderous Dictator. Kissing the ring of the Mad King. The disgusting Zelensky meeting. I honestly thought you were better than this.

So, Domino's has had this absolutely ridiculous deal running the past few weeks, and here's some examples of the utter nonsense people have been ordering.

I have never been more glad to be a driver.

Mark my words... if tRump and elon manage to visit Fort Knox, there will be a photo-op with gold bars. Even if photos are forbidden, well, so was a section of Arlington Cemetery. #timeagaintotakeadeepbreath #whatweretheythinking
