Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

Just a friendly reminder that Trump was impeached the first time in his first term because he was trying to use Zelenski to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. Zelenski refused and Trump holds grudges. This entire thing is about revenge. www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

Over in the other place, #rorystewart & #jdvance have a spat and it makes the papers. It begs the question: Can any grown rational person really be taken seriously when fighting about religious fairy tales? It's akin to arguing about the colour of the wallpaper in the Three Bears' house.

Apparently, hunting causes no harm to "neither man nor beast". I'm not sure what in creation that makes a fox then. It must belong to a different classification of living thing, something I'm sure foxes will think of as they get torn to pieces by packs of hounds this Christmas time... HO HO HO.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
