Getting ready to go again, next year in June I’m planning a 450km (280 miles) solo from Húsavík to Dyrhólaey in aid of Irish Dogs for the Disabled.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Imagine invading an American city for fascism then getting recalled because the dear leader saw you on TV and thought you were too fat and unattractive.

The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

What happened and what is currently happening to this man is shameful.

But aside from that... someone got away with murder.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

No worries, I've been lucky to get close to them in France, had a small group of them standing around us during a covert observation post exercise in the Alps.
They've been brought back from the brink there too and there was a successful reintroduction of Iberian Ibex in the French Pyrenees as well

That image is of Alpine Ibex on the wall of the Grand Paradiso Dam in Italy
There's about 20,000 Ibex in Italy now after being driven to almost extinction mostly still contained within the Grand Paradiso
They come down onto the dam wall for salt on the rocks but otherwise live on lichens at altitude

This is up there with the interview with the yokel back in 2015 going into a Trump rally when he said he wanted to know why Obama wasn't in the Oval office when 9/11 happened.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

Yesterday, IUCN declared the Slender-billed Curlew to be extinct.
How did we let this happen?
What lessons are there for the future?
