Old as time. Living the Skye life, a beautiful island off the remote north-west Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Have travelled to one or two countries. I also run a holiday home with more than enough room to swing eight cats, but I don't allow pets.
For us non-American users of Google Maps, it now adds (Gulf of America) where Gulf of Mexico is. This is pretty pathetic. Bing Maps however does not, and to be honest, Bing Maps seem to be getting better than Google Maps over the years.

I'm not really paying too much attention to US politics at the moment, but apparently Elon Musk is banning conservative accounts that are criticising him today. I took this screenshot of Elon's tweet from April 2022.

Facts: 80% of drug traffickers are U.S. citizens bringing drugs back into their country.
Most drugs are not brought by in by land but through ports. You can see in the article how drugs still got in during Covid with the border closed.

Fentanyl Is Smuggled for U.S. Citizens By U.S. Citizens, Not Asylum Seekers

Sadly my MP Angus MacDonald is against this because we don't have enough care homes for the elderly and so they might want to die instead. Bit of a weird argument if your end of life is a mess because you can't get properly cared for due to lack of resources.

👍 For: 152 (+28)
👎 Against: 164 (+27)
🤷 Unsure/Abstain: 79 (+44)

Protesters in Abkhazia (Georgia's breakaway region) broke into the parliament building. The protests are against the ratification of the investment agreement with Russia. The agreement would allow Russia to buy everything for cheap, hurting the economy and scamming everyone.
