So I guess you know who you're not voting for.
An election is on at the moment in my home State, and our Premier (sort of a Prime Minister at the State level) at speech in front of local business leaders was asked for his thoughts on JD Vance given recent events.

Video in the link but shifts back to usual election campaign banter pretty quick. Still, for a giggle.
One for @Rico especially I think.
I usually dont see big huntsman spiders with all their legs on. By the time they get to adult size, I reckon a few battles have been won, with some considerable injuries along the way. They are the fastest thing on the ceiling, though.We have these boys come into the house quite often and prowl around ceiling corners -- called "rain spiders", they can get quite large (although our cat considers them a delicacy) ... but are pretty harmless... a species of huntsman spider native to Southern Africa.[2] It is the most common and widespread species in the Palystes genus. Its distribution ranges from KwaZulu-Natal province in the east, then westwards to the provinces of Mpumalanga, Limpopo, and North West in the north, and Eastern Cape and Western Cape in the south. It has a body length of 25–30 mm ... venom apparently about as painful as a bee sting.
Generally just trap 'em in a tupperware and chuck em back into the garden.
Although this is a baby one... wouldn't want to be doing this for fun...
