Hello world. I’m @ocb70 on Xitter, where I bonk vatniks, support Ukraine, annoy MAGAts, hang out with atheists + fellow neurodivergents, & enjoy silly (especially British) humour. Oh, and like reading interesting history & science stuff.

Tbh, it’s ridiculous that it’s only a single academic fleeing America.
The rest apparently care more about their tenure than their academic integrity.

I admit that sounds brutal, but I loved everything that got put in front of me.
As an orchestra player, I loved every (interesting) bit of music I had to play.
Mate, I played what got put in front of me. I wasn’t married to the sheets of music.

It’s like asking Germans in 1934 to stop Nazism - sure, you can ask - but the Nazis don’t give a shit

FFS, I’m a lapsed Catholic & current atheist- and in *awe* of the humanism of the Pope

FFS, I’ll start to question my atheism if he continues like this
In a Chicago suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE goons and a cameraman surrounded a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demanded his ID and threatened to arrest him for impeding their audit.

I don’t think our reporters & their adherence to “journalistic principles” are appreciated now, but at some point in the future I *hope* they will be
US citizens get their news from the UK, cos our media isn’t (yet) owned & controlled by Broligarchs
As much as my Cold War RAF instinct is to see that a/c as “the enemy” - “if it looks right, it flys right”.
It’s a good looking a/c, although that paint job doesn’t exactly work well against that background 🤣
…and for their next session on imaginary entities, the White House will discuss the Union of Pinhead Fairies.
Apparently the fairies dancing on pinheads may have illegal (brown skinned) fairies in their midst.
My Dad was a military then civil cop - when he saw Life of Brian he laughed his ass off; the Roman guards throughout the film are *clearly* modelled on Brit cops/military cops.
He also *loved* the graffiti scene for its copper silliness.
It’s not “authoritarianism” - it’s “fascism”, aka Nazism.
As a dual Brit/Belgian subject - American Exceptionalism is amazingly resilient.
“Can’t happen here” is happening there. 1/3 will kill another 1/3 - and the other 1/3 won’t intervene.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.
"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."
