Today let us remember the millions dead in wars worldwide - and learn! The only winners are the Arms Industry, the military-industrial complex which manufactures death.

Bob Dylan said it in ‘Masters of War’. Find it on YouTube

Watching a fascinating program on ITV interrupted every 10 min by what seems like an hour of horrible advertising I’m reminded of a R4 prog about scammers; ‘they’ll do Anything to get your money!’

@hounslowgreens.bsky.social Our first Green Councillor! First of many. We are proud to welcome long-serving Councillor Guy Lambert, formerly Labour, then Independent Socialist, always an exemplary representative of the people of Brentford, to the Hounslow Green Party.

I'm starting to suspect these strikes are the Trump administration's way of reminding the rest of us just how inept, careless and corrupted it truly is.

These are extrajudicial murders, similar to what Duterte did in the Philippines. It reminds me how little this administration cares for the Rule of Law.

The Climate Criminal won’t be represented at CoP. Why is that surprising?

This one is far too obvious.

Hm. My attempts to entrap a #flirtyfisher seem to have ground to a halt as none take my bait. Maybe announcing my intention puts them off? Can bots and scammers read?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

He’s raking it in hand over fist

Racism is embedded in the Right

Found one. Now the secret is to make ‘her’ make all the moves. Expecting a DM any minute. Sheer proof she is a #flirtyfisher is she/it won’t read this post.

The House always wins. I used to go out with a croupier who told me what croupiers call punters: wankers.
That’s not very fair. They’re just the same as drug addicts. And we allow this drug to be widely advertised.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Note: the official Airhead of the USA posted a nuclear threat right after his meeting with Xi. The meeting obviously did not go well. Xi probably played him like Putin does.

Waiting for a good one…. Reminded of a quote from a vampire spotting a victim (‘What they do in the Shadows’) “Grrrowll!” Raises both arms fingers outstretched “LLLLUNCH!!!”

2. identifying a bot. Either no or few posts, or a deluge of reposts. Either no or few followers or a huge number acquired by the bot on autopilot. A sexy pic and either no biog or AI generated biog.

Right. Just waiting for the next one. Usually I delete them as their DM appears. Bet you anything you like they won’t read this post and be warned off by it. I propose the hashtag #flirtyfishers - will report back! 1. Check notifications

Maybe I should pretend to be attracted by a bot out to scam me into a Romantasy. They’re so transparent! Do the scammers in far-flung botfarms realise how dreadful their immoral profession is??? Watch this space.

I feel confused by gambling companies advertising while offering how to protect yourself from gambling addiction advice! It's grim!

It’s not drunkenness (he claims) it’s brain rot. His last remaining brain cells are rattling together in his head as they, too disintegrate.

America is in the tiny hands of King Stupid.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

All advertising for gambling should be banned. Do we allow advertising for heroin?

I forgot to mention: some passages are merely bigoted nonsense written by old men with very limited understanding.

The Bible is a collection of literature, poetry, fiction, history, opinions and morality. Fantasy too. One day someone will examine it in detail to sort out which parts are which.

To have dementia, you need to have a brain in the first place. The hollow space between the Trump ears may have a brain cell or two rattling around, probably diseased.

It’s a terrible situation to be in but I’d hate to see a second Civil War in the USA. I hope for a Midterm victory for Dems, a lame Trumpduck limping towards a massive defeat in 28. Ballots not bullets.

#Jamaica will be ravaged by what is probably the greatest storm in history, made so much worse by Climate Change. World leaders have committed to a 10% reduction in emissions when 50% was agreed as essential in the Paris Agreement.

Whose country is next?

Yours? Ours?
