Trump says he has "a big beautiful ocean" between the US and Putin. In fact it's 53 miles, the distance across the Bering Strait (not an ocean) between Russia and Alaska. A little over twice the distance between Dover and Calais and a quarter of the distance between Southampton and Cherbourg.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Went for a mooch around the graveyard at St. George’s in #Beckenham. This is the enormous and very old #yew tree, so big it has to be propped up. #trees

You know, it wouldn't surprise me if #Trump suggested that Ukrainians should move to #Gaza and Palestinians move to #Ukraine 🤦‍♀️🙄 It makes about as much sense as anything else he has said. #topsyturvyworldofTrump.

Gandalf the stray goes to the vet tomorrow for the snip so nothing to eat tonight - he’s not very happy about that, he’s been tucking happily into the Sheba and kibble since he arrived. #rescuecats #catsky

For about a month my husband and several cat charity volunteers have been trying to catch a #stray #cat who has been living on the streets for some time. This afternoon they finally succeeded. He’s been named Gandalf. Not a happy bunny at the moment! #rescuecats #catsky

This is the upper area of the lake (which in my 40 years of visiting the park has never been more than a muddy morass with a trickle of water running through it). Now the water is really deep and the ducks are happily swimming #KelseyPark

The de-silting project at #KelseyPark #Beckenham continues, floating cranes and dredgers on the lake.

Went to Morden Hall Park yesterday for a mooch along the wooded area, but several #trees had been felled and its been ‘tidied up’. Hope they haven't disturbed all the spring #flowers - lords and ladies, bluebells, 3cornered leek that usually grow here. #woodland #wildflowers

way too many people still see follower count as a status symbol of prestige or importance when it's really better understood as the unfortunate, burdensome side effect of trying too hard to make like 8 specific people laugh

If you think Elon did nothing offensive, perhaps try it yourself at work or at school or in Germany or Austria and see how that goes for you.

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.
