Daily #Wales with the flag flying over the estuary (weā€™re playing Ireland today, and šŸ¤žšŸ‘ to Scotland, who are playing England) Itā€™s a rugby thing. Sorry. Itā€™s in the contract. Rugby, dragons and daffodils. Also sheep.

ā€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.ā€ A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

ICYMI PLEASE LISTEN GOVERNOR JB Pritzker, Illinois Bravo GOVERNOR

Oh, I am shocked, surprised, astonished, amazed etc etc

Moving inside for todayā€™s Daily #Wales (just as well, the weather is stormy - but this was taken a couple of years ago). Part of the National Wool Museum at DreFach Felindreā€¦

Todayā€™s Daily Star (UK red top, for any who donā€™t know)

Todayā€™s Daily #Wales isnā€™t in winter, amazingly; it was taken in July. July many years ago, because this is a #ThrowbackThursday. This is the alarming Victorian Pont Briwet, still worryingly in use up to 2012 - lots more info in Alt Txtā€¦

Looks like the FT is getting there..

Daily #Wales in what still feels very much like winter with more storm aftermath from a previous year (and a hardy runner).

Daily #Wales in winter, with a notice just in case anyone was thinking of using the steps (well, it is Barmouth / Abermaw so it might be necessary in the holiday season)

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, thatā€™s not a ā€œthreat to democracy,ā€ thatā€™s a check on the presidentā€™s power. That's the whole damn point.

I didnā€™t know #BlueSkyMonday was a thing, so hereā€™s a second Daily #Wales, emphatically not in winter! It was a really hot day; we took our sketchbooks up to the dolmen and cooled our feet in one of the little streams. Sighā€¦

Daily #Wales in winter, walking through the woods

Daily #Wales in (what is still) winterā€¦ taken a bit ago, though. Not much snow on the tops now - just drizzle. (Location in Alt Txt)

BBC obsesses on Rachel Reeves but not Reforms James McMurdock whose CV doesnā€™t add upšŸ‘‡šŸ¼ He says he worked at at Lehmans (it had gone bust when he claimed to be there) He claims he dealt with Corporate Loans -they require FCA Reg but I couldnā€™t find him.. His bizs went bust @adambienkov.bsky.social

Daily #Wales in winter on the Mawddach estuary

Daily #Wales in winter, with a potter round the village and a few early daffodilsā€¦ it must be spring!

George Monbiotā€™s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty

The double snowdrops are out - they are so fabulous, and a definite sign of spring (just snow is forecast)ā€¦ #snowdrops

You know you live in an area like #Eryri / #Snowdonia when your window cleaner says he wonā€™t be able to work for a month later in the year because heā€™s climbing K2. #Wales #Cymru

Daily #Wales in winter with a #ThrowbackThursday to the aftermath of the storms of February 2014 in Barmouth (another invasion attempt by the beach)

Whilst Trump distracts with the Middle East, space Karen continues the coup.

Definitely time for a Daily #Wales. A calming one, but still Wales in winter. Cloud inversion over Barmouth / Abermaw

Daily #Wales because I need something calmingā€¦ Agapanthus seed heads in the snow, a few years ago. Also minus the actual seeds, because those fell off before I removed them and now I have agapanthus everywhereā€¦

šŸ”„ AMAZING. Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia. Itā€™s taken years of prep. What a moment.

If anyone wishes to find our video on Hitler's 'socialism' to share/use/entertain/teach with, please find links below, with original explainer. Now is not the moment or the subject matter to sigh & give up on šŸ¤ Vimeo: vimeo.com/user16907314... Website: www.marshfamilysongs.com/marshfamilyh...

Elon came to the USA in 1995 on a student visa to study at Stanford. He left the university within 48-hours and stayed in the country. He was never interested in being a student, his intent was illegal immigration.
