The Genocide Proud crowd are now starting to throw shade on countries in Western Asia to so how try and say, “see, we’re the good guys. They, ‘those Muslim countries’ are bad”. Sebag Montefiore leading the pack.

The health of a democracy can be judged by the state and diversity of its local media. In the UK, with apologies to @bylinesnetwork.co.uk, they have all but disappeared as independent entities. Same in the US, where 1000s of titles have been bought by companies which run them into the ground.

My sister-in-law grew up in Puerto Rico. When I told her about Dolly Parton’s passing, she looked puzzled—no recognition of the golden voice or public persona—until her face lit up and she said, “Oh! The book lady!” I think Dolly would love to be remembered this way by a mother of two.

To anyone who does not live in Paris but visits the city at regular intervals (as I do), the transformation has been staggering: Paris has been reclaimed from cars. It can be done, and could be done in London too. It is all about political will and taking the risk of being unpopular - for a while.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

An Amazon worker died in one of Amazon's warehouses. As he lay on the floor dying, management told the other workers: "Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work." That was a human being. A child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.
