Trump and Putin are world ruiners. That the diseased egos of such men, rise to the top of power, throughout history says much about a fatal flaw in our species. Humanity collectively produces monsters, and the work to prevent that isn't enough.

No one is going to give you the education to overthrow them.

As Burnham continues his centrist in disguise path as PM and is set to approve the pointless 2% Jackdaw oil field, here's a photo I took of Andy Burham in Nov 2016, speaking passionately at an anti fracking demo in Manchester. Politicians eh? #burnham #oil #climatecrisis #climatechange #fossilfuels

Under a tsunami of curated, carefully chosen news that is designed to reflect the will of right wing media owners, it is difficult to find hope for a future that isn't about war and destruction of nature. If us on the progressive left are unable to unite and push back, then the news is the future.

@graemethomson.bsky.social Thank you for your beautifully written book AW:TFSOTT. One of the best music biographies I have ever read. You do Mark justice and paint his gift like an old master. One thought occurred. Tim Buckley circa Lorca/Starsailor has many similarities to Mark.
