Russia couldn't even defend its naval bases in Syria against infidels in pickup trucks. There is absolutely zero chance they currently have the capability to take on NATO. Let's stop fearmongering

⚡️Zelensky calls for increased international pressure after Russian attack on Sumy. "This Friday marked exactly one month since Russia spurned the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. They are not afraid...Only pressure – only decisive action – can change this."

Greenland has a great sense of humour!

History department power couple Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore and philosophy professor Jason Stanley will begin teaching at the University of Toronto’s renowned Munk School in fall 2025. yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/03...

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in the style of ligne claire. Late actor Jeremy Brett will always be the quintessential Sherlock Holmes to me, even though I appreciate some of the earlier and later interpretations also. #sherlockholmes #jeremybrett

Always a friend in need! Another little piece of Hercule Poirot fan art. I hope you enjoy! #herculepoirot

He stepped in it! Sorry for all the Poirot illustrations, but they are quite fun characters to draw. #herculepoirot #ligneclaire

I got the Twin Peaks box set for Christmas, so it was odd to suddenly hear of David Lynch’s death. As a fan of the series, as well as Lynch’s direction and his portrayal of FBI Chief Gordon Cole, I thought I’d keep it light by sharing a characteristically quirky Cole quote from the show.

Even the world’s greatest detective has to prioritise.

The Captain’s love of the new Lagonda. The Detective’s? Not so much. I’ve been busy with a few projects, so haven’t had much time to post here lately, but I hope you’ll enjoy this one (I did).

Even Indiana Jones has his weaknesses. “Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes!”

Young Hercule – A little “what if” comic album cover. I thought it would be fun to envision what Hercule was up to before he became a private investigator. What do you think?

Young Hercule: Death Woven in Lace. Another “what if” comic album cover. Do these deserve a series? 🤔😅 #herculepoirot

Bak Mei aka Pai Mei (White Eyebrows) was a legendary historical Taoist martial artist. Fictionally, he's appeared in many books and movies and was best known when played by Lo Lieh and Gordon Liu. I always found him more interesting than his enemies :)

AND THE LAST TRUMP SHALL SOUND has 3 near-novellas, one each by me, James Morrow, and @catrambo.bsky.social, about the West Coast seceding from a Trumpist USA and forming the freer, looser nation of Pacifica. www.amazon.com/Last-Trump-S...

As long as I'm trying to sell books here, how about JOE STEELE. Based on a short story I did in 2002, it imagines Joe Steele becoming President in 1932. "Joe Steele" in Russian would be...Yeah. Him. Relevant right now, dammit. www.amazon.com/Joe-Steele-H...

Things being as they are, I'll mention IN THE PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES, too. It's set in early 21st-century Berlin in a world where the Nazis won...And the last hidden Jews are trying to survive as fascism is starting to break down under its own weight. www.amazon.com/Presence-Min...

A little Gwensday message. 🕸️❤️

❗️Patriot missiles in Ukraine may run out in a few weeks, - CNN, citing officials. All due to the cessation of arms supplies from the US.

youtu.be/BDEMthILzpA?... Yes, Minister intro.

Wishing a very happy "birthday" (February 25, 1980) to the BBB political comedy series "Yes, Minister". en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_Min...

Twelve deaths have been reported as part of an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to frozen supplemental shakes, the FDA said Monday.

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Finally Europe fights back against Trump’s lies and clearly Trump didn’t like to be fact checked in front of the press. Well done President Macron…

Very tough day yesterday, with the US siding with Russia against Ukraine. But at least all of those people who told us for three years that Ukraine was just a US proxy will now admit they were wrong (no?)

So, the Christianity of the Loranja Regime is Positive Christianity, the corrupt & perverted version of Protestantism peddled by the Nazis. I hate to infer the No True Scotsman Fallacy, but I have to ask who is closer to Jesus: the lady priest who said we should be kind to each other, or THESE?

I followed the links and this is real. A state department official who is an open advocate of the worst kind of of eugenics. "Low quality humans." The network around Trumpism, "race science," alt.right Nazism, and eugenics is truly frightening.

Good piece about how to (and if we can) verify photo and video authenticity in an age of "AI"-generated images and media. youtu.be/qO0WvudbO04

Feb. 19 marks the Day of the Coat of Arms of Ukraine. On this day in 1992, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada officially approved it as a national emblem of independent Ukraine — one of the key symbols of the country's sovereignty and unity.

'It's morally disgusting': Trump torched for lying Ukraine 'should have never started' Putin's war
