Wild fire smoke from Canadian wild fires caused chaos with his internal flights and one of his daughters abroad in another country had two trips to hospital so all in all, a lot of unexpected worry and hassle.

He’s OK. Had some issues on his trip but blown away by the archives. He’ll be in touch. He has about 200 photos and many videos. I told him to select the best 10!

A year ago today I was on my way to Milan to catch the last night of Bruce Springsteen’s Land of Hope Dreams tour to Europe. When I sat down to write about it a whole lotta other stuff came to mind. So here it is, with photos and vids. #Springsteen ruthbadley.com/postcard-fro...

A plea to my fellow professionals in the media. Please put Trump’s racism on the top of your news agendas? Where is it? The leader of the “free world” is using his racism to make all of our lives worse instead of better. A racist is a threat to us all. Whatever else he is doing, holds no worth.

It’s easy to be angry over these obvious lies but why is there no anger at the lack of challenge. Why is there no pushback to his nonsense from the media? Cowards.

For weeks, Elon Musk promoted Nigel Farage’s insurgent, anti-immigrant party, Reform U.K., as the answer to Britain’s problems. On Sunday, he had a sudden change of heart about Farage as its leader.
