Goodnight All Home, happy and hexhausted. Elder son had a wonderfully magical birthday of love, laughter and laziness (apart from water Chair Exercises and being water-bombed by sundry Granddaughters). Younger son's special cheesecake a hit. Sleep the sleep of Angels...I will! 💜

Wow! Who’d a thunk it? What is it with Trump acolytes doing ‘accidental’ Nazi salutes? Are they all suffering from a weird form of St Vitas Dance? Or are they just Nazis? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A new Powerful Owl! This one was near a good square kilometre of bush with great creeks and roosting trees, but instead it decided to roost in a tree about 10m from a busy dog park. POwls are always surprising. #brisbane #wildoz #birds

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Morning from Ukraine! One more time, a view from my hometown. I will be back in Kyiv in the evening. Cannot say that I rested, as the week was hard for Ukraine. I had a #warcoffee already.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

The Powerful Owlet with a dodgy eye seems to be doing well. Just after sunset it began trilling, then flew off between some nearby houses. It looked like it was on a hunting mission. Its sibling appears to have now left the parental territory. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

Today we remember Alexei Navalnay, leader of the Russian opposition, who was found dead in his prison cell in Siberia one year ago today. I stand in solidarity with his widow Yulia Navalnay, the first lady of Russian opposition.
