Repeated use of Ketamine causes brain damage by killing neurons, in a similar manner to Methamphetamine usage. Should such a person be controlling US Government?

People say Americans deserve their terrible healthcare system because they 'voted for it'. No they didn't for 70 years no one they could vote for has dared to tackle it Before that FDR and Truman both tried to get Universal Healthcare, and everytime Private Healthcare bought the Senate to block it

Ofwat/Ofgem are run by ex-executives from their respective industries, they are friends with the people they are 'regulating' and they use their inside knowledge to invest Like if they are going to handout huge bill increases they buy up stock before Worse than useless, corrupt

“When you’re raped there is shame, and it’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them. It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s a will and determination to change society” - Gisèle. What a woman.

I went to buy a Jacuzzi today & was told I picked a great time because I wouldn’t be able to afford it once Trump’s tariff kick in. Then went to pharmacy & was told my insurance no longer covers Rite Aid - the local pharmacy I’ve always used. The woman next to me said “that’s why that guy got shot“

Brexit 'delivered the opposite of what it promised', Angela Rayner admits
That might just be the sound of the penny dropping for the Labour government, after Angela Rayner took a swipe at Brexit.

Trump: "We're gonna do things that have been really needed for a long time," he said. "One day voting, voter ID, proof of citizenship." If the plan doesn’t include free IDs, automatic registration, and a voting holiday, it’s not about fairness—it’s about suppression.

Today’s poem is dedicated to all those who have taken it upon themselves to correct the grammar or spelling in my poems over the last few weeks. It’s called ‘Pedents’.
Pedents
 
Foot soldiers in the War on Error,
They’re here to save us from ourselves,
With Fowler’s Modern English Usage
(first edition, nineteen twelve).
 
They scrutinise each word we write
For typos, gaffes, et cetera,
Correcting all our dumb mistakes
To make our grammar betterer.
 
They sigh and tut and tell us off
For the rules we have forsaken
And chart this nation’s steep decline
By the care we should of taken.
 
Custodians of the King’s English,
They merely serve to keep it pure
And restrict, they hope, the ignorant
To three mistakes or less.
 
In doing so, they hold no fear
they will deprive a thing of life:
for it’s not important what is said,
what matters is that its right.


Brian Bilston

We weren’t always middle-aged. We were young. Naive. Unsure. Felt… weird. Guilty. Laughed when we wanted to cry. Stayed silent when we wanted to yell it from the rooftops. But now? Now we’re finally at a place where we’re not putting up with your creepy, misogynistic shit. #WomenOfACertainAge

Elon Musk has at least 12 children, but instead of spending Thanksgiving with them he spends it with Donald Trump, probably while telling everyone he is the real president.
