YouTube video by Barack Obama My Conversation with Marc Maron | WTF Podcast

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

But will the Taco king ban it for its title? 😏

The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees [The poem has been written in the shape of a deciduous tree with letters (or ‘leaves’) missing from the text]: a comm n pr ble  whe  writin p ems in the shape of decid o s  trees is t at once t ere ar ives the fir t sti rings of  he new aut mn breeze,  he   oems will begi  to shake  hemselves  ge tly  ntil their letters loos n d  like leaves, an    they  start                                     to  float  down then [The missing letters from the tree have landed on the last line to form the phrase] turntomushuponthegroun [The final ‘d’ is floating down to complete the phrase.]

Happy National Poetry Day to all those who celebrate.

Be next to no good

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

English Roundabouts   They’re making the roundabouts great again by painting the flag of St George to keep our circular road systems safe from the dark, satanic hordes. What do they want? Patriotic junctions! When do they want them? Before it’s too late. Good old-fashioned English roundabouts, as decreed by Alfred the Great. Behold the sacred intersection, this blessed plot, this septic isle. English roundabouts for English people, draped in red and white and bile. St George is cross, as well he may be – whipped-up hate, he’s seen before. Give way to the right, the road signs rage, and the far right most of all. Brian Bilston

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.
