Some old blackhouses in the Scottish Highlands weight their thatch down with stones. These ones made me think of those theme park rides where people dangle from a track.

That one in the front has just seen what's coming.

WHO: "Five years, 10 years, 20 years from now, what are we going to see in terms of cardiac impairment, pulmonary impairment, neurologic impairment? It’s year five in the pandemic, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about it."

A prominent doctor asked
“5 years,
10 years,
20 years from now,
what are we going to see
in terms of
cardiac impairment,
pulmonary impairment,
neurologic impairment?”
and while I do not know
the answer to that question
I imagine our response
will be to deny we are seeing it.

For those of you that have never seen a truly dynamic duo here ya go

Regardless of income, all mothers in Flint, Michigan can now receive $1,500 mid-pregnancy, followed by $500 a month of #basicincome for 12 months after their child is born. This is the most universal of any guaranteed income program so far, with zero means-testing.

Sue Kingery Woltanski: M4L Supports Parental Rights Except When They Don't. - Why is Moms For Liberty, a so-called ‘parental rights group,” arguing against parental involvement in their child’s grade retention unless they use vouchers? https://networkforpubliceducation.org/blog-content/sue-kingery-woltanski-m4l-supports-parental-rights-except-when-it-doesnt/ #Reading

@GottaLaff Sherrod Brown is running neck and neck with Frank LaRose, Ohio's atrocious Secy of State. LaRose is well known for attempted voter suppression and has worked tirelessly to defeat popular citizen initiatives on abortion and gerrymandering.
The race should not be this close. We need Brown in the Senate. As a former Ohioan in a blue state I'll be supporting Sherrod Brown from afar. For the sake of democracy I urge others to do the same if they can.

An electrician had to cut a hole in our drywall and instead of just patching it up, my wife decided to make a little scene with miniatures embedded in the wall. 😂🖼️🤯

Edit: https://pixelfed.social/@thisfunhouse has some more pictures of the subway and I will post lots more quirky art over there.

I heard a rumour, the US will finally close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

Any future terrorists caught by the US will instead be placed in a jail cell next to Donald Trump.

Experts say, three days of having to listen to Trump talking about "the great witch-hunt" while flapping his arms like a seal will crack anyone.
