Europe doesn't need any more wake-up calls.

It's awake. It's just very comfortable in its warm bed and procrastinating on getting up in the hopes something turns up to magically take care of all the chores it knows it should be getting on with.

I've reposted this cartoon multiple times over multiple platforms and the sad thing is that it never stops being relevant.

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.

Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

Choo Choo! Thanks for sharing and I hope you keep it up as I'm sorely missing JRVP (Junior Vice President). Reading 'The Heart in Winter' at the moment and will definitely pick up the rest. Happy new year to you and yours!

Mary Poppins, a beautiful story where a nanny and some parkouring chimney sweeps teach children, through the medium of witchcraft, about CLASS WAR.

If you love beer and have logged at least 500 hours on Call of Duty, stay by your phone.

You could be the next nominee for Secretary of Defense.

We need a free press It’s vital for democracy that we receive verifiable information that is not manipulated or controlled

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

Absolutely fecking delicious. I will bathe in it.

This is a game changer! Who doesn't need more bacon in their life!? 😁

The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry: a great poem for troubled time...

To escape the absolute bin fire the world's becoming I've been playing Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West and they're absolutely brilliant. Solid single player games with no silly micro transactions. Do yourself a favour and check them out! Currently 124 hours into Forbidden West!!! 😂

'I hope you're winning the battles noone else knows your fighting.' Heard this recently and it stuck with me. As the dad to an autistic son it can be hard to give a voice to your struggles never mind share them. The world would be a better place If we kept this in mind when dealing with each other.

Scary stuff! How do we stop it!?

Some pics from the aurora a few weeks back. Such an amazing thing to see. I still find it hard to believe that I ticked off a bucket list item from my own backyard! 😂
