Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Ok I turned this into an essay about fascists and shame, for easier sharing:

Shaming fascists: Not enough, or too much?
If shame was helpful, we would have solved all our problems by now because it’s the primary way people relate to each other in colonial cultures.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway. The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦 My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable. 1/5

Absurd yes. But also sinister. This country has a long and proud history of civil disobedience, trespass & symbolic acts to challenge militarism. This is no worse than Greenham Common or Faslane protests in fact it’s minor in comparison PROTESTING GENOCIDE IS NOT TERRORISM

Fridge and Cooker visible in a modern clean kitchen with a lovely lime green tiled splash back behind the hob and white slab style kitchen cupboards.  This is about the government threatening to ban Palestine Action after some of their members broke into Brize Norton RAF Base and put red paint on planes used to support Israel in Gaza to highlight UK complicity in the ongoing war crimes and genocide

@iwriteok.bsky.social I remember… We were all so young, innocent and full of hope in those long distant sun-filled days of yesteryear…
A screenshot of a Facebook memory suggestion from three years ago.   The memory comprises - Two photos, one of the front cover, one of the signed bookplate from a copy of After The Revolution by Robert Evans.  It was a pre-order first edition and had just arrived in the post.   I was excited to read it having listened to the excellent audio reading available from all places podcasts can be found.  It’s a thoughtful and engaging futurist novel but of course all portraits are self portraits. Consequently it has much to say about contemporary issues in particular a hopeful exploration of attitudes to trans and gender issues, affirming surgery & body modification. To be fair I haven’t read it in a couple of years but that’s my recollection and recommendation.  Enjoy
