Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.

She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.

Ok it is #PortfolioDay again and I'm still not looking for work but would love your support either here on bSky or elsewhere. I'm an ageing Scotsman with less time on my hands everyday but I want to create and enjoy doing it.

Painting. A wooden gate leading to a field, the gate has the words 'ONE WAY STREET' badly painted on it in white paint. The field has old bracken that is turning golden in the fading summer light, above the sky is cloudy and in the distance some signs of trees and a distant town.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE and their owner is helping to develop military AI. Maybe hit that "cancel my account" button?

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

We made lots of dumplings and froze them all. Kimchi and tofu, veg and tofu, mushroom, Szechuan pork, pork and leek. Now they will last us for ages.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

First panel above showing tentacles throwing a guy down to the ground, while water trickles down at the entrance of a cave. The next three panels next to each other below show a giant face carved in stone, while the man in loincloth in front of it is slowly getting up and walking away in front of it.
