The quote from Paul Valéry ‘Poems aren’t finished , they are abandoned’ is familiar.

Today I read the full quote. It is much more poetic. It is filled with energy and passion

Reminding us that sometimes over editing can be unnecessarily reductive

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Her Ladyship shouted "Look, a pair of great tits" this morning - we've been married many years and, I've seen fewer and fewer Great Tits as the years have gone by, so naturally I rushed to see....sadly it turned out to be a pair of these in the herb patch

Welcome !

The whole concept of the American civil service is that the president CANNOT just fire whomever.

It is the most basic principle of a functioning gov’t.

The use of admin leave to “fire” and the fake, illegally-conducted RIFs are antithetical to a gov’t that serves the ppl. 1/4

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

SCOOP: ICE Revoking Students’ Immigration Statuses Without Their or the University’s Knowledge “Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

No notes

Front page of The West Australian newspaper for 21/02/2025. Large (and 10 years out of date) picture of Trump, and the headline Russian Roulette: Trump gambles away world order backing Putin against Ukraine's Zelensky.
