Guide dog user here. I do walk in the road if the pavement is blocked. Very fucking slowly. I cause quite alarmingly big traffic jams sometimes and it can take me a VERY long time to find my way back to the pavement.

US administration refuses invitation to monitors from the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe to observe mid-term elections. Such monitors have observed elections in the US and elsewhere for over 20 years. Only countries to refuse them before: Russia and Belarus.

The map needs at least one spot of "tig" in the south west - Bath, more specifically Oldfield Park and St Alphege's School. Definitely called tig there in my childhood.

Dungeon Master. Not Dragon Master, don't you know anything? Now, I actually am *the* Dragon Lord - my grandchild calls me that. Much cooler than "grandad". His teachers, however, are bemused whenever he refers to me in school.

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

When I stopped drinking 8 years ago I more or less lost most of my social life. Because most of my friends were boring drunks. I have new relationships now and am establishing different relationships with the old friends, too. This anon opin is true ☝️.

If he ever gets in, we can't say we weren't warned. That's dictatorship right there. Straight from the horse's mouth.
Screenshot of tweet by Nigel Farage.

I will declare a state of emergency on day 1 as prime minister.

Parliament will sit 24 hours a day until we pass the necessary legislation to deliver on our pledges.

If the house of lords try to stop us, I'll hold a referendum and sweep them away if I have to.

If my ministers don't deliver, I will sack them.

Civil servants who go against the will of the people will be removed.

I will not tolerate any element of resistance from the system. The establishment parties frankly don't have the balls to challenge it - but I do,

He was elected leader on a pack of lies; the "thoroughly decent man" thing is a well rehearsed act. In politics, best not to believe a word that Mr Starmer or anyone involved in Labour Together says. He/they are slightly right of centre-right, not a leftist bone in their bodies.

As a county cricket fan (UK, England) - it is absolutely "we." The clubs are genuinely owned by the county members. When I say "we" about Somerset, it's 100% true. No, I don't play, but I have a stake and a say in how things are run.

So would I, as long as there aren't any Americans in it or directing it. Greek cinema can be, and often is, wonderful. Hollywood ruins everything it touches; cant think of a single independent US film maker who could do it.

The Chief Rabbi posted on TwitX this morning about his meeting with the Archbishop of Canterbury. In that post, he referred to "our soldiers." Michael Rosen, picks him up.

Did you explain what you meant when you referred to Israeli soldiers as "our" soldiers? What did "our" mean when you said that? I thought "our" soldiers are the British Army. In what sense are Israeli soldiers "our" soldiers?

Too high a word count for Bluesky, so screenshot from my other channel.
In a recent experiment a man had nearly half his brain removed. After a recovery period, doctors asked him to count to ten. "One, three, five, seven, nine," he responded

The experiment was later repeated, removing the same quantity of brain, but from the other side. This time, when asked to count to count to ten, the man who'd been operated on said "two, four, six, eight, ten."

Then, in a final test, the scientists removed all of the brain from their subject. Both sides. After the recovery period, they asked him to count to ten. He responded "I can count to ten, I'm the best with numbers, I have the best numbers, the news, they say I can't count, that's wrong, they're wrong, I think, people, when they think about good numbers, I can count, with any numbers, I aced it, all the time, better than China, better than anyone ...

From Nigel Kane on another channel.
Screenshot of a Facebook post. There is a black and white photo of people rejoicing at the coming of the rain - probably taken in 1976 or possibly even overseas as monsoon begins.

The post us from the group Love Northern Ireland and was posted by Nigel Kane.

The text reads: 

There were scenes of rejoicing in some parts of Northern Ireland this morning with the first rain simce the last time it rained. Watering cans and hosepipes looked on relieved at maybe getting a rest and gardens that looked like the Kalahari Desert gratefully soaked up every drop. Locals can stop saying “isn’t thon heat wild” and visitors can finally get to wear the coats that they were told they’d need as “sure it rains every day here”. Some women were even heard saying “I could do with a wee cardigan on”. I’d like to thank you all for your strength and resilience during this difficult time which will forever be known as ‘the time of no duvet on the bed’ and apologise to visitors for you not being drenched and pure foundered for the entirety of your stay.

Most of us are not soldiers or physical fighters. I am visually impaired. But all of us can offer something to speak truth to power. I write songs ad I talk to people. Only a few ever hear the songs, I dont always speak when I should, but it's what I can do. If we all try, it will work.
A quote.

"A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can't defuse a bomb. But we are not helpless. We can sing the truth and name the liars." - Salman Rushdie 

There is a portrait of Rushdie in black and white underneath the quote, it is recent photo; he has one eye covered with a blacked out lens in his spectacles.

We're going to see voting intention poll after poll after poll in the coming weeks for Makerfield. Most will be total bollocks put out by one party or another to favour its own candidate. Here's the baseline from 2024 GE. My guess? Green again. People don't like being told who to vote for.

With First Ministers of each of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales all representing parties with manifesto commitments to independence from the UK, perhaps they should be having a three way summit to discuss chucking England out of the union? Might be a quick way around the problem.
