Can we swap Hungary for Iceland?

On the positive side, it might reduce carbon emissions. It would be nice to have an inhabitable planet once these morons kick off.

Shot this today. The only S-word was skating. #sweden

Direct elections have shown time and again that low voter turnout can result in catastrophic winners. Most countries don't use direct election nearly as much as the States, especially with "down the ballot" positions.

They certainly think they are. And why not?

It would help if all the Democrats voted against funding ICE.

An interesting tension with those unexpected angles and the square framing. Bold choices that make this stand out.

Serious question - what does ice mean in these forecasts? I live in Sweden and we get rain and snow - not ice. Do they mean freezing rain?

NBC is already preparing the alternative audio.

I would suggest all of those are variations of just two: inequality and climate change. AI and social media contibute to inequality (both real and perceived). Inequality causes conflict - both local and international. And all the while, the environment changes faster than we can adjust.

If Trump can't be seen to have turned the economy by Nov then MTG represents the MAGA movement that elected Trump in '24. Isolationist, racist, deeply reactionary and fiscally shortsighted. Not sure who's worse though!

He's unintentionally empowering MTG for president in '28!

I can only guess how much fine adjustment was made to the tripod's location to get this to sit so perfectly.

Jag såg King Crimson i Berlin, och de enda kvinnorna som var där verkade vara rätt lessa flickvänner eller fruar. När jag såg dem i Köpenhamn kändes det snarare som om kvinnorna råkat gå till helt fel ställe – och allt som saknades var att de stod och bankade på låsta dörrar för att komma därifrån.

King Crimson makes Toto look like a Boy Band.

It seems pointless asking him anything critical since all you get back are ad hominim attacks.

The correct number of lemon-scented napkins has always mattered.

That's how it looks on my shelf, in all its OCD infuriating glory.

Six are UK releases and S3 is the official Australian release.

Frozen Tree Line A row of trees covered in rime frost near Silvåkra in southern Sweden. About -10C at the time.

I'm fairly sure I shot those same trees in similar weather a few years ago. De är tacksamma!

I recognise those falls immediately, and I don't even live in the US. But I did like Twin Peaks!

A vertical photo of an autumn scene at a nature reserve in southern Sweden. A creek flows towards the camera, and reflected in the water are the yellows of the leaves on the trees overhanging the creek. Some moss-covered rocks sit in the foreground. The ground, where visible, is entirely covered by fallen yellow leaves.

Robber's Hollow (or Rövarekulan in the original Swedish) is a spectacular scene in autumn colours. #eastcoastkin #sweden #skåne #fallcolor #autumn #scandinavia #landscapephotography #scape

While they are accelerating due to Ai I'd mention loss in trust in the veracity of images, and the commoditisation of photography. The latter means that images are created en mass by anyone with little regard for meaning or quality.
