Californian in πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ, anti-fascist by nature. Love Dodgers/Rams/Liverpool/Simpsons/concerts. New novel ”Technical Debt” out now! I am also a former travel addict (126 days in 2006) #YNWA since 2017. Let’s treat life like a mosh pit and pick up those who fall.

Hearing my Man U hating northern British wife sing along to the Oasis song β€œLive Forever” while cooking dinner shows how much the band resonated in areas predisposed to not want to like them.

Ps I saw them 3 times in 4 nights in May β€˜01 as they were touring with my favorite band the Black Crowes

It’s not finished yet but how bad ass does the cover to my new #antifascist #fanzine look?

No matter how silly, we all gotta be trying to creat art now in the face of senseless violence and cruelty.

A reminder that my brand new novel is out now! I self published this, my sixth novel, because it’s so timely I wanted it out now. The book takes places in the spring of 2026 and is a bit of a parable about the situation in Europe now. It prolly makes a great gift!

My football rule change proposals:

1) technology to know if the ball is handled by the keeper outside the box
2) whistle for foul throw ins again
3)injured player in the last 10 min has to go off the pitch for a minute
4)VAR for corners
5)audio of VAR discussion live

You?

So excited to start the new issue. I plan to bring some to County Durham at Easter time.

Cheers from the first day of my forced unemployment since September 2001!

The LA #Dodgers were the first #MLB team with an African American 80 years ago. They were the first team to expand to the West Coast 75 years ago. If that’s ruining baseball, here is to a #threepeat !

They should then poll dodgers fans and then ask other fans their opinion about it as if their team had won the World Series back to back.

Admissions so far:
1) They were lying abt threat from Iran.
2) They were lying about good faith of negotiations.
3) They begged UK for help immediately (and Ukraine offered needed expertise).
4) They're escalating on Day Two.

Why does Jim Jordan get so little blame? Or Lindsay Graham? Or any other republicans on the armed services committees in the house or senate?

Is Pelosi higher or lower than
John Roberts on the blame ranking ? Just trying to understand how to judge them all correctly as you see it

Jeffries is feckless. Pelosi should have done more. Ok, granted. I just don’t want the enablers to be blamed as much as the people doing the crimes. It’s as if republicans get no blame in the fascist takeover in your view.

The early medieval burial from Gammertingen, 6th century AD.
The high-ranking warrior died in his early 30s and was buried with a Byzantine helmet (a so-called Spangenhelm), his weapons, and his mail armour, which consisted of about 45,000 iron rings!

Yes ok.

Where does Nancy Pelosi currently rank on the list of people personally responsible for all those little girls killed in Iran yesterday? Or the deal
With Bukele in El Salvador? Like is she 6th most responsible? 17th? 98th? Can we prioritize talking about the top 5 for now?

Plenty of blame to go around but I personally am going to use my vitriol for the people enabling it today. Pelosi didn’t vote Trump innocent in impeachment, she didn’t end the Iran deal, she isn’t advocating for concentration camps. This is like wanting Hillary to testify re: Epstein before Melania

To be even more of a bummer, if the senate had just convicted him in either of his impeachment trials, he would have been ineligible to be president again and his numerous trials would have gone on unimpeded. He’d be in jail today for one of the other many crimes.
