When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Labour seems to be conducting a live poli-sci experiment in ‘how can we throw away a massive majority as quickly as possible by having no obvious principles or vision other than throwing populist scraps to the right?’

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work.

The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

This is wild…

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

Hi Netflix, we could really use a one shot drama about the effects of dismantling welfare and pandering to the super rich, sincerely Britain.

I remember first hearing the word in Robin of Sherwood

Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Ozymandias

I want in! Will email as instructed :)

The louder and more we call things out now, the more likely it is the Govt. will drop the worst aspects of any proposed reforms.

We cannot afford to just “wait to see what they announce”, what they announce WILL be informed by how big the backlash is… that’s why it was leaked.

A dead stick is held up in a bare winter forest so we can see the dozens of fuzzy splitgill mushrooms grow along it. Each one is a little explosion of gills. All photos by me

Here are some nice mushrooms

If I could say one sentence to cats and make them understand it, it would probably be "If you are going to puke, please do it on a hard surface."

More of this!

A post by Trump which says; He who saves his Country does not violate any Law

"I am the law."
Hitler, 1942

"There is no law but the law of the people & the people are me."
Gaddafi, 1975

"We have a constitution, but we must address the problems of the country first. The law is always behind when it comes to national survival."
Bashar Al-Assad, 2011

Trump, 2025:

I’m telling you again - Europe has a massive brain gain opportunity sitting here.

Trump is going to absolutely shaft US science & we could & should be there to hoover up the talent.

Marvelous

It had to happen eventually…

A picture of the earth showing the pacific ocean. You can see hawaii and New Zealand. Also the edge of antarctica, australia, and north and south america...but barely.

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth.

Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like.

People underestimate the Pacific.

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out.

My first was listening to the Radio 4 adaptation of LOTR in the car with my family. Ian Holm as Frodo! Totally mesmerising. That lead to reading the books (a long time later) then Jackson’s films came along.
