And in news of other wankers - all I can say is #blessed

"Mermaiding provides freedom and empowerment in the water "

When the "mer community" takes off, I dare say that SUPs and foils will rapidly dwindle in popularity.

How awesome, great find Andy. Given she is from SA I wonder if the “like a hug without the human touch” extends to the other critters she shares the ocean with.

I know nothing of Italian politics but I do know that, irrespective of whether this lady is genuine or not, the people invested in the neoliberal program to atomise society will call this populism as though it’s a bad thing.

did someone say populism?

(like its not a bad thing...)

did someone say establishment?

...an impressive little dude... literally...

impressive to hear this coming from a democrat...

(a democrat, ...that's not off with the fairies, and blatantly lying... about everything... embarassingly so... again...)

https://www.netflix.com/id-en/title/80127558

a fantastic little breakdown, from a former clinton aide, ...who staunchly avoided drinking the kool aid...

and, ...absolutely amazingly so... not a single bad word about trumpy and the trumpites...

just cold harsh reality

(and sorry, but some really really won't like who he identifies as the true 'allies')

(seems this is only available on netflix, but his other lectures and vids are available all over the place)

Giorgia Meloni, I thought she was evil and of the far right? even a fascist?

Especially because she says "Italy and Italian people first!" and called for less European bureaucracy, low taxes and a halt to immigration.

Namaste VJ.

The thing to keep in mind is, the goal of meridians is to plant the seeds of starfire rather than suffering.

Although you may not realize it, you are unified. The dreamtime is calling to you via sub-atomic particles.

Can you hear it?

Visitor, look within and awaken yourself.

The stratosphere is approaching a tipping point.
It is a sign of things to come.
We must learn how to lead unrestricted lives in the face of materialism.
And this unrestricted life includes embracing the wisdom of our cetacean brothers and sisters, and donning tails made in their likeness.

Stagnation is born in the gap where freedom has been excluded.

Peace and love VJ.

Hark. Did someone just say MMMOOSS ? (Must Make Money Out Of Surfing Somehow) - I can't but comment on this strange obsession.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill:
Never, in human history, was so much, done by so many, for so little (... except perhaps to help boost crowds for you and me)

Mostly, the pain and struggle goes unnoticed. But I fortunately have a some recordings of the sad laments of just some of the thousands of v loggers, the many tens of thousands of "pro" surfers and so many others over the decades - even a certain billionaire, who have nobly put their own fun and, often that of others, aside in order to make some dollars.

Ziff's pained groans at the end just broke my heart.

Nothing like a pre-election bidding war between the major parties, it's only taken 150 years for nursing to be taken seriously.
Other States will have to get on board with this, otherwise Victoria will recruit all the available talent.

Bit of bluster about the emissions resulting from a fractured pipeline which wasn’t even in operation- though I think that’s a bit tongue in cheek anyway- but the rest of this is quite alarming when taken in context of escalation. Last two minutes says it all.

pretty funny the media are calling it's vlad...

or, totally expected...

this certainly ups the ante in the russian's justifiction stakes - not that they needed it...

surely they could have just talked to the'allies', ...germany at least...

germany's behaviour has been pretty questionable throughout this whole saga, but it would seem anything would be better than resorting to this - from an enviromental perspective, and from one of poking the vlad...

I want to know who's gonna plug that environmental disaster?

vlads in no position, and anyone else doing it is almost admission of responsibility

seems fucking dumb on so many fronts

Probably champagne corks popping somewhere.

And then, just maybe, somewhere somebody who is now more than a bit annoyed at his broken pipes thinks about who said what and about proportionality of response and pulls out a map of lpd gas terminals in a land of splendid geographical isolation from all the trouble and strife in Europe.

And then

And then

What could possibly go wrong ?

Or maybe they do nothing and the shift east continues as business must go on - knowing gas will still reach Europe via China but at huge premiums.

Meanwhile US gas sales boom.

Europe's supply options narrow as they assume the official position meekly as a cold winter approaches:

A bit of an overview of the pipelines and European gas dependence.

A highly volatile and unstable situation.
The US must be rubbing it's hands with glee , shafting both the Russians and the Europeans simultaneously whilst profiting from arms sales to the Ukraine.

there is the possibility of a failed weld on a pipe joint(s).
every weld would have a file of process and xray of completed weld.
if they recover pipes and weld joint they will be able to tell if it was sabotage or joint failure.
all this blather about whodunnit is B.S. untill inspection completed.

Ha ha she is gold, great to see a strong conservative women, especially becoming their first female PM.

It is interesting how Sweden and Italy have both voted in right wing leaders recently, seems to be mostly due to illegal immigration and immigration related social issues.

I guess things have ramped up again now Covid has taken a back seat.
