Meta / Facebook is doing a big advertising push with David Bowie's Five Years. Is that fucking Ironic or what? The suits who read the first few lines thought it was about populism. The song is about the end of the world. All those people in the beginning of the song are getting ready to die.

Been such ages since I was asked to review a poetry collection. And this was an absolute banger.

I'm featuring a @garethwd.bsky.social article as this Sunday's LawNewsIndex guest editorial: 'Before our private green paradises become casualties of a climate we can no longer pretend is someone else’s problem, it is time to look beyond the hedge': lawnewsindex.blogspot.com/2026/08/23rd...

The latest Iran War Lego propaganda video is the most powerful yet. And it asserts that Trump went to Epstein’s island “40+ times,” despite his claims to the contrary. (Worth keeping in mind that this is PROPAGANDA and the regime murdered tens of thousands of its own citizens to stay in power.)

Sheer bluster and bullying. A physical coward who picks on the little guy. These countries as a team are a match for the USA.

Stood behind Chrissie Hynde in a corner shop queue. She kept looking behind at me with a questioning sneer. I didn't realise until later who she was. She was tiny.

Trump doesn't want this in court, with all the awkward questions. He's looking for a settlement; don't give him one cent and he'll drop it.

In Gareth Writer-Davies' poem 'In the Dales', the speaker beautifully evokes both a sense of place and of 'what might have been'. After John Ashbery and on inksweatandtears.co.uk/gareth-write... @garethwd.bsky.social #InkSweatandTears #Poetry #Submissions

Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."

The Right exploit Left perfectionism ruthlessly. I had to hold my nose and vote Labour led by Starmer in the last Election. It seemed the adult thing to do as opposed to letting the Right back in....

Finally succumbed to the hype and started washing my hands with soap and water this year. Big fan so far. My hands smell better in general and I’m spending less of my time violently ill. Highly recommend if you’re not already doing this.
