Day 14 of #31DaysOfGraves - Inside

Here are just two monuments from the extraordinary assemblage of 14th-15th century graveslabs that are now housed within the reroofed former Prior's house within the ruins of the Augustinian priory on the island of Oronsay.

These were most likely MacDuffie chiefs

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Democrats need to accept that Trump will indict his political enemies. But if Democrats respond by later indicting the DOJ officials who illegally carried out Trump's indictments, that will be end of our Republic.

My favourite British Rail traction by a country mile (and the most powerful and fastest* locomotive of its day)

*I‘m not counting Class 43 (HST) which came in pairs or the Class 90 (effectively a restyled Class 87)

Miles and Chains @miles-and-chains.bsky.social · 11h

The undisputed king of the west coast main line, in my opinion anyway, the class 87.
Captured at Liverpool Lime Street, 87020 ‘North Briton’ takes a breather between workings. Very happy days.

lol, the head of Russia's Human Rights Council wants to force motorists to use license plates bearing the Russian flag. Drivers who have (perfectly legal) plates without the tricolor are "demonstrating disdain for the state, rejecting secular authority, or calling for separatism," says Fadeyev.
