Meanwhile in Kyiv and Gaza......
I believe that we should be happy to share this tiny part of the vast universe, with our fellow human beings, for the short time that we are here.

Discovered Leonard Cohen in 1982, age 15. And played to death his Greatest Hits album. He remained and remains a great favourite with me. Saw him live (at last!) In 2008 in Dublin in the rain. It was simply the best concert I've ever been to. RIP Le0eonard Cohen

Yes, I think that's where I am too. Except that I have spent years hoping he'd be arrested, charged (with multiple crimes), and imprisoned forever. But I don't think it will happen, so death is an acceptable alternative. Except for Vance. Or maybe they'll all become decent humans once he's gone ๐ฒ

He believes himself invincible - and he is, until the people stand up against him. Which they do not. Not politicians, not Press, not even international leaders, and not citizens. He is getting permission from everyone to be a dictator.

Children and adults have died because the US, under both Democrat and Republican government, will not tackle gun laws. It's disingenuous for Sen. Schiff to post this now. Obama and Biden did nothing either.

We built it with blankets and upturned chairs. Uuuge, the best fort, nothing even comes close. And we made slingshots and bombs out of covfefe. And we might have a battle after dinner with the South Korean team to win the land. Before bedtime.

No, it was a terrible book. Lazy - it read like a painting made from a photograph. Totally inauthentic, apart from being historically paper thin. And the worst thing is that primary schools use this book as a part of WW2 studies.

Yep we all remember how it started. Putin invaded Ukraine.

The triumphalism of the journalist was unfettered. The scorn for the US president in every word. Worryingly, the security guarantee being touted as Ukraine being part ofnthe Russian Federation

I suppose I am choosing the compassionate message from that book, which resonates with what I believe about the goodness that human beings are capable of. And hoping that 'Christians' would also choose that. Naรฏve I know.

'Christians' should consult their Bible. I was hungry and you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, sick and in prison and you came to me.โ I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.โ

As a sovereign country Ukraine has a right to the integrity of its borders. As the US has a right to its territory. Would the US agree to negotiate with, for example, Mexico, if it invaded a southern state?
Catriona G (@cmgalster.bsky.social) reply parent
PUTIN INVADED UKRAINE. HITLER INVADED POLAND. Nobody considered negotiating with Hitler to concede territory to him. Putin is Hitler - do not negotiate with him.

The whole country seems to be full of people jumping up and down, complaining about illegality perpetrated by the state on the US public. And still, nothing actually happens to stop it. When you have a full-on dictatorship, will everyone look back and regret the inaction?

Why is this excuse for a human being still free, never mind President of the US?

It was shocking. And towards the end, when he said that Zelenskiy never looked for constitutional permission for killing people, I nearly fell over. He is an absolute lying, evil scumbag. And the sycophants around him are every bit as bad.

It's about time someone called for this to happen. How powerful this would be for those survivors, and for those who are listening to them. And how difficult it would be for the US government to continue to deflect from the issue.

You're right- because they can. Isn't it shocking though? After all this time (evolution and all that...) men still need to control women. And they do in many respects- in the workplace, in ALL the churches, in the home (often), healthcare, societally.

Also, there are no quantities in the recipe. Should we just guess?
Catriona G (@cmgalster.bsky.social) reply parent
The Irish call this 'An Gorta Mรณr' which translates as 'The Great Hunger'. This is more accurate than Famine. It was the potato crop that failed. There was a lot of other food, which was earmarked by the British for export. The so-called 'famine' was a catastrophe which was completely avoidable.

Flaunting the constitution? You illiterate fool. Also, just replace 'Hilary Clinton' with 'Donald Trump', and we can agree on the substance of your piece.

Is there no process in the US to go through before building? And a much more thorough one for such a building? I realise Trump doesn't give one f**k about proper procedure, but I would have thought there were obstacles to slapping on additions to a historical building
