I follow people who make me smile . . . . . or think . . . . . . . . . . or both

Well then #USA, #MAGA & #GOP, do you think they'll agree to this, and what will it say about this American regime if they don't? #Trump #POTUS

Come on #USA, get your act together over #Trump and the #EpsteinFiles. Andrew is going to squeal like a little piggy!

Watching #BBC #Newsnight on delay but #ZiaYusuf seems to have a bit of a thing for White Working Class Boys.

We are all Chief Brody this week.

There was an experiment where they offered children 2 cakes later if they didn’t eat the one in front of them now. Most kids ate the one cake. #Trump is committing #USA and maybe the world to an eat now, pay later environmental future. Our grandkids are gonna burn. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This treasure trove of about 90 rediscovered CDs (a loft find) has sparked another idea. Before I donate them all to the charity shops I'm going to choose one song from a random CD every day. Today, from the album Moondance . . . . . youtu.be/syIUmrSJWAU?...

#ChisMason ought to shut the fuck up with his right wing stirring. Why say #Starmer is safe “for now”. The factual reporting is “safe”, end of. “For now” is pure conjecture. Tabloid shite!! #BBCNews

Another entry into the already fractured & fragmented UK streaming market. When will they realise all they are doing is driving ever more people into the cheaper all-in-one piracy options? We're people who want to watch TV, not bottomless cash machines. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Shadows

Ok, so we’ve got a better version now, one that seems to have been sanctioned by Bruce, with reportage, lyrics and studio vocals. youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw?...

Generations . . . . .

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It’s exhausting, and ultimately futile, arguing against someone whose views on immigration are fed by cliches, misinformation & Farageesq soundbites.

That'll bring an exciting, never before seen, new dynamic to UK politics then . . . . .

“We’re gonna need a bigger bus”

How long before #Reform sinks under the weight of its own turds? #SuellaBraverman

Yesterday’s Fish Pie was a big hit

Just watched the guy singing the #USA national anthem at the #SuperBowl playoff game in #Seattle. Well, you’re certainly not FREE at the moment, and I don’t see many BRAVE people challenging the #Trump tyranny. Don’t pretend tough. Act tough. Wake up #America.

This sums it up perfectly

Can stuff the #WorldCup as far as I'm concerned. If I watched I know I'd get a sick feeling in my stomach knowing what's going on in the #USA & #Minneapolis right now, and how #FIFA and #Infantino basically prostituted the whole competition in front of #Trump with the farcical #PeacePrize

Prepping Fish Pie for tea. White fish, salmon, prawns, then a nice cheesy sauce. Top it off with mashed potato later. Gotta live a little amongst all this doom & gloom.

. . . . . and talking of PC Gaming (which we aren't), I'm really getting into Anno 117: Pax Romana in the past few weeks. I built my first Roman aqueduct yesterday and I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself . . . . .

A photo I took last Summer of clouds against a setting sun makes me think of some sort of ethereal Chinese/Japanese mountain landscape.

Listening to Starman by Bowie and thinking, “wonder if my 28 year old son appreciates how good this was”? Then realising if someone had asked me a similar question when I was 28 they’d have been asking me to appreciate music from 1932. Wow! Time is a beast!

Powerful imagery!

You need to find and protect the lady in red! #Minneapolis #ICE #MinneapolisShooting #LadyInRed

Come on Donald, apologise. #Trump #Afghanistan

Nothing will rile the people of the UK more than a trumped up draft dodger dissing our troops, the ones who serve in the same military that held off the #Nazi scourge in WWII while the #USA stood back and watched. The same isolationism that #Trump promotes today Fuck off Bone Spurs!!!

Dear #USA Military, Are you really going to stand by and let the Fat Orange Buffoon insult your brothers in arms from across the allied nations? March him out of the #WhiteHouse and into a military court straight away. Regards, UK & Allies. #Trump #Afghanistan
