In today's "seagulls being absolute menaces" news: Gull samples man's coffee, before stealing the mug and dropping it in the sea. (An actual china mug, not some paper thing.) Could argue the gull was justified, as the man had been installing anti bird spikes on nearby houses, before stopping off at a pub for lunch. 😉

I've made this post about the manifesto

The information I've so far seen, does not provide any political affiliations. So, we don't know so far.
One thing is sure, though, the hit list is enormous (70) + it includes non-politicians.
So, anything is possible, still.
I do hope, though, that they were not political. That would tend to lead the US to(wards) the road of the mass assassinations of the 1920's Weimar Republic.

Oil prices soar as Iran-Israel tensions shake global economy – DW – 06/13/2025 - EUROPE SAYS
The economic fallout of Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile facilities in the early hours of Friday was swift. Oil prices spiked andEUROPE SAYS
#Israel's attacks on #Iran hint at a bigger ambition: regime change
Israel's surprise attack on Iran had an obvious goal of sharply disrupting Tehran's #nuclear programme & lengthening the time it would need to develop an #atomic weapon.
But the scale of the attacks, Israel's choice of targets, and its politicians' own words suggest another, longer-term ambition: toppling the regime itself.
Feeling a very weird mix of shame and gratitude for my partner and a friend of ours who are going to our local pride market with some pottery.
I've sadly accepted that my CPTSD mostly excludes me from attending these events, particularly for longer periods of time where I can't really just pick up and leave.
Not sure if this is a failure, a win or both 🤔
I am trying to focus on what I can do, which today means cleaning the house.
Thank you so much for your empathy and kindness and understanding and wisdom 💙
I think acceptance of where I am at is the first step towards finding another door that's not locked.
I appreciate you and hope you have a great weekend.

Report from the Amsterdam protest: there are a few hundred people here and two uniformed Dutch cops at a respectful distance very casually chatting with each other while they wait for nothing to hurry up and happen.
A lot of people are tourists (American or otherwise) who happened to see the protest because the US consulate is between several museums. They’re all like “hell yeah I’m stopping for this.” Passing bikes ring their bells (some of them might even be in support and not because Americans are standing on the bike path). I don’t know where someone in Amsterdam found an enormous California bear flag on such short notice
And yes, everyone loves Odin, who randomly decided to put his paws up on my shoulders when we were very visible to the crowd
