TikTok shadow bans posts that are critical of the USA. For making executions public, for banning election monitors, for carrying out extrajudicial killings and trying to destroy the ICC. All no go areas for TikTok content apparently.

The USA has joined four small elite clubs, none of which is desirable or even credible for a country that has been seen as the reliable leader of the free world until Trump began his second term.

Creative writers open the gate and usher us through what we make of their words is up to us. It’s the same with artists’ lines and colours and composers’ notes. We have to open ourselves up to where they lead us.

Assads chemical Ali is being paid and protected by the CIA. The new Syrian administration wants to extradite him from Lebanon but the CIA and Lebanese government think he is too useful to be sacrificed to justice for war crimes.

Standing by as international press photographer is beaten by armed israeli illegal settlers in the West Bank. He was working to record an attack on Palestinians harvesting their olive trees. Israeli soldiers did nothing. The Labour government does nothing.

Unapologetically Green. Local issues are green in Holborn and St Pancras with HS2 stealing green spaces and the Labour government reneging on promises that they’ll be reinstated. Labour are not your friends in Camden. They are Israel’s friends though.

Threads is seriously not worth the effort. I had 550 followers on there. I’m just waiting for them to shut down my instagram account which has 4,324 followers at the moment. I had to start again from scratch after they did this before a few months back. No humans involved in the Threads decision.

This morning, tired out by complaining about the door being shut, the food, the water, the noise, the fridge having nothing in it for him, the slowness of service, being told to wait.

Palestinian daily life and the bold Green vote. The Israeli administration constrains Palestinian lives in the West Bank and East Jerusalem through movement restrictions that are unpredictable and arbitrary. They make life impossible. The greens have had enough of just standing by.

Who is Jane Doe? Well everyone it seems because we are all sick of men abusing women and getting away with it because their lives are too important to be spoiled by their criminal behavior. Oh yes, and because women don’t matter.

On the Trawl Marina criticized the term small dick energy as being rude to men who feel they are anatomically challenged. I think she is missing the point, the thugs who dress up and mask themselves have small dick energy because they are emotionally and morally challenged. End of.

Cornell University should be closed, the administration and police sacked and everyone involved in gang rape charged and tried. No ifs, no buts, no argument. This incubator for the Epstein class must be a dismantled so everyone understands rape is not acceptable no matter who is involved.

Pay your taxes or shut up, especially if you are a billionaire. Also don’t lay off low paid workers and criticise universal credit beneficiaries when you beg for £150 million in subsidies that you could well afford yourself. That’s just for starters.

Guess what? My short form podcast about stumbling stones being banned by the AfD and CDU in a German town has been blocked by TikTok for breaking their community guidelines. It’s written directly from the BBC news page. It is almost as if the right can’t be criticised.

Stumbling across the holocaust. Stolperstein or stumbling stones are individual memorials to people murdered by the Nazis in the holocaust. Now the AfD and CDU in Heidenau near Dresden have voted to make them illegal in the town. Wasn’t it supposed to be never again?

What sort of list would you like your government to be compiling? One of positive things or a list of scapegoats to be blamed and punished? Apologies for the dreadful off key singing.

My personal points of reference are central London south of the river in Lambeth and Shaftesbury in North Dorset. This year’s weather records are a snapshot of climate change. The new norm, the new baseline. London charts first. Buckle up.

The martyrdom strategy. Getting yourself arrested gives you lots of opportunity to fundraise from your base, spread your influence and grow your movement. It helps if you’re not too bright. Nobody likes being talked down to and you are naturally relatable in the manosphere.

Burnham and Mahmoud respond to pressure from lobbying on behalf of Israel and the fossil fuel industry but nobody lobby’s for immigrants or the RNLI so all we get words when there is incitement to assemble vigilantes and s knife attack on a boat carrying a RNLI volunteer. Two tier anti terrorism

Don’t be bullied at home, don’t be bullied online by the social media Tsars. Zuckerberg and Musk, Thiel and Bezos all censor us if we mention social progressive ideas. Words like feminism, social reform, even Virginia Wolfe in the title of posts will get them automatically blocked by Meta.

My pal writes under the name of Tom Benjamin. His seventh Daniel Leicester crime novel is out now. Buy it in your local bookshop, ask them to order it for you and avoid Amazon if you can. I highly recommend it.

Climate toppers. Who’s your top 100 climate advocates and activists? Who are the first ten you think of? Check in with Zack Polanski and the others named by the Independent today. I missed out David Attenborough which is a shame because he is 100.

Women and children must be safe. So must lifeboat crews. Black shirts, black shorts and balaclavas don’t make anyone safe. They make everyone fearful. No legitimate concerns, no two sides to the argument. Just right and wrong. Do you know the difference?

New caterday. Leopardis talcayo joins forty other species of cat to make the order total 41. But as there may be more species of central and South American tiger cats that number could climb even further now they are being studied in detail for the first time. That’s a hundred years we have waited.

With one bound Zack was free. Is Zionism racist? An elephant trap if there ever was one. Of course Zack will get it right and this important question will get an airing. I suspect the people hoping he’ll be caught out will be pretty cross that it’s come back to bite them.

Mr Ed gets toasted. Poor Ed Sheeran just wants to be left alone to entertains make money for everyone including the people even higher up the food chain who bully and censor voices for Palestine. Neutrality and being non political isn’t an option, it’s a cop out.
