I am a Northerner; Kingdom of Northumbria (now England). I honour my ancestors; Celt and Norse. I can teach you nothing; I can only hope to make you think. There are things I believe but there is nothing I can know.

By the time I die, assuming not in the next days or weeks, the world will have departed so far from the normality I once new, I will be glad for the change of scenery and the company of ancestors who understand true humanity.

They told their friends you love animals. That's turning in to quite a food bill. I assume the cat and deer don't expect walkies.

One thing Trump has proven, as was proven in many countries during, for example, Covid. The state can persuade people to accept the most ridiculous and immoral positions and then implement and defend them without remorse.

A decade ago, these Jewish scholars broke with Zionism. Time proved them right ❝ An article published in Haaretz 10 years ago by Jewish-American academics Hasia Diner & Marjorie Feld created a firestorm within the U.S. Jewish community. Today, their argument looks stronger than ever ❞ Haaretz

That's how to solve problems in USA, Israel, UK et. al. Simply import a load of French people and give them guillotines. :-)

On this day in 1974, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells went to No.1 for the first time on the UK album chart, 15 months after being released (partly because part of it featured in the film The Exorcist). It went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide. #TubularBells #MikeOldfield

If they allegedly can’t even remember which victim Jane Doe was, that raises a horrifying question: How many victims were there? HOW. MANY. WERE. THERE? Every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and protected not identified, hara$sed, or doxxed.

Point 2 is absolutely correct. Point 1 promotes something (UBI) insidiously dangerous, as it will, in one single act, dramatically increase the servitude and dependency of the citizen upon the state. UBI should be called UIS: Universal Instant Slavery.

Four years ago I was in a place to pay for my car with cash, and I did. But it was an illuminating process: the dealership *did not* want to do it. They couldn’t say no, obviously, but they fought me at every step. That’s when I realized they weren’t in the business of selling cars, but rather debt.

An eloquent exposé of the incremental nature of socio-political change. Politicians change one small thing here, one there, then another until years later people wonder how today came to be. Of course, the real problem is the people; they vote for politicians and politicians are always the problem.

I'm a Northerner (currently part of England), an old Northerner, so I have no time for Westminster. A question for our neighbours just the other side of an invisible line... Will Scots wait for Westminster's permission or take a more 'William Wallace' approach?

Abu Dhabi want you all to know that they absolutely don't own Manchester City but if Manchester City are sanctioned for their industrial scale cheating, then the UAE could pull all investment from Britain.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Israel keeps talking about a plan for a greater Israel that plans on massive land theft from neighbouring countries. Yet, Western leaders are still foolishly talking about the Two State Solution myth that was always a lie. A regime that commits genocide doesn’t share.

If you're a #Venom fan, good news, a fourth film is in development. If you're a Venom fan, bad news, it's all animation; animation cannot replace the Tom Hardy/Venom magic. With computer animation almost certainly tied to AI, I think it's a cost cutting exercise. thedirect.com/article/sony...

Amazon is saying "could". Surely a company like Amazon should be able to say "will"? If Amazon implement their thinly veiled threat, a solution, if people care about exploitation, is stop buying from Amazon & see what happens. Do you think they'll let their business collapse?
