Here's an alt-text description for the image:

The image depicts a person lying supine in shallow, murky water, surrounded by green foliage and bubbles. The person has light skin and blue hair, partially submerged in the water with eyes closed. A large mechanical robot is positioned above, partially obscuring the view, its metal structure and red accents contrasting with the organic environment. The person is wearing a red garment and dark-colored shoes with straps. The scene is illuminated with a soft, diffused light, creating a tranquil and somewhat melancholic atmosphere.

Text visible in the upper-right corner: “跡-木 (ATO-KI)” and “water drop.”

Harley's got a stick. (don't worry, it's not actually wood, but a rather thick plant stem, it's more chewy than splintery)

Arend Lijphart (89) is de belangrijkste Nederlandse politicoloog aller tijden. Hij werd bekend door zijn werk over de verzuiling, maar vanuit zijn huis in San Francisco volgt hij nu vooral de Amerikaanse politiek. „Ik zie dat er bij de Republikeinen iets loskomt.”

There is a certain irony to the Tangerine Tyrant making the point that even though there are photos (and lots of them) of him fraternising with jefferey Epstein, he shouldn't be regarded as guilty by association, when much of his domestic policy seems to be built on exactly that sort of presumption.

But then again, the Right (and perhaps most of our political class) have never been ones to avoid hypocrisy.... or even trying to hide it.

I'm not a TDS guy, but I do have to admit that I am enjoying the Epstein hot potato being thrown around, irrespective of party allegiance!

An 1880s warehouse on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. Like a surprising number of warehouses on this street, it was converted into a cinema at the start of the 20th century. Designed by Duff and McKissack, it opened as La Scala in 1912 and seated 1,000 people. Its auditoriun was divided into two smaller screens in 1976, with a third added in the former cafe area in 1978 before finally closing in 1984.

Charles Kushner, père du gendre de Trump, Jared Kushner , avait auparavant rencontré Édouard Philippe, candidat potentiel à la présidence et ancien Premier ministre du parti Horizons (centre-droit). Il avait également évoqué avec lui son programme électoral. Mi-novembre, l'ambassadeur américain avait déjà rencontré Bruno Retailleau, chef des Républicains conservateurs et ministre de l'Intérieur.

En Ariège, la mobilisation d’agriculteurs pour empêcher l’abattage de 207 bovins a été durement réprimée par des tirs de grenades lacrymogènes. Une vache avait été testée positive à la dermatose nodulaire. La Confédération paysanne appelle à des blocages partout en France. L’abattage d’un troupeau de 83 vaches vaccinées dans le Doubs le 2 décembre avait marqué un tournant. @sophiechapelle vous en parlait ici👇 basta.media/gaz-lacrymo-LBD-po…

Rassurons nous, la ministre va faire vacciner plus de vaches....qui seront donc probablement abattues quand même, vu que la vaccination ne leur paraît pas une protection suffisante...
