It’s Back-To-School Month! Remember, reading is fundamental for ages 5 through 79!

I enjoy rook bathing in #Beckenham Place Park i.e. sitting amongst a flock of rooks on the field by the river at #Ravensbourne Station end. They are tame / human-friendly enough to ignore us while they scrutinise grass searching for next meal

I’m looking forward to Stephen Colbert sharpening his knife over this year to show the capitulating Paramount what free speech is all about.

All the States Where DOJ is Demanding Voting Data Read more here.

I just tried to sign up to #Podbean, a podcasting tool. I could not do do so bc I failed the CAPTCHA text to verify I am human. However no such test was offered to me. #Podbean's software not working.

You do you, Jupiter.

However, if you could *try* to aim in the direction of the White House, we’d all be very grateful.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

US ‘illegally deported’ Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan Immigrant rights advocates say White House violated court order and ask judge to order nearly a dozen people’s return

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I guess that a key aspect of barbarism is not to recognise hard-won standards of behavior
e.g #Trump in US
a) not bowing to legal verdicts
b) tearing up contracts tho' ppl already invested bc of them
c) not supporting Ukraine.
Russia's cruelty there is truly barbaric as in this #CNN scoop

#Trump's #neurological #decline is expertly 4grounded by @davidpakmanshow.bsky.social
& IMO this is indeed the most incoherent POTUS47 has ever been live.
Bret Baer ( #Fox #propaganda host) can hardly keep himself f/ laughing.
Not 1 coherent thought, rambling... www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_z7...

of course u wd be concerned for his #mental #health, of course u wd assume some kind of neurological decline. Imagine that same 78-y-o said "I run the country and the world"
#Trump #GOP #MAGA #Lawrence #O'Donnell on
@msnbc.com
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpCt...

78-y-o man pocket-dials sb he doesnt want to talk to at 1.28 am & then imagine that same 78-y-o M is angrily braying at the world at 5.24 am claiming ppl've committed crimes, crimes that do not exist coming up with a name...4 those ppl, using words 4 crimes that dont exist ie "negative criminals";

#COVID19 I had a #vaccination today at my local pharmacy bc I'm aged 75. But good news: CV19 has become weaker: huge amounts of virus(es) around but ppl not in #NHS hospital now www.bbc.com/future/artic... In 2020 especially & 2021 I took warnings seriously. So far I've survived

#Romania: excellent report from #Bucharest on @unherd.bsky.social; centrist candidate won by 10% (urban 18-44 y-o voted 4 him) & opponent accepted it! Detail on eg #Hungarian diaspora in #Brasov who do like #Orbaan but see #Far-Right as danger to them www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQHx...

#Man-child #Trump is USA's first #fascist POTUS.
As property magnate bankrupt 5x & now he's wrecking US w/ mad tariffs; debt balloons faster than GDP www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu0_...

#Cricket? Complex game w/ much to analyse:
Q. How does a #fast #bowler who runs up to wicket at eg 25 mph deliver the ball 20+ yards to batsman at 100+ mph?
A. it's the principle of #kinetic #linking ie #momentum increases as it rises from leg muscles to bowling arm

G) then there is the $400m gold plated airplane which will cost $1bn to make ready for POTUS ,e.g. will have to be taken apart screw by screw to check for bugs. As far as Qatar govt is concerned, plane = garbage BC they want completely different planes

D ppl who pay enough 4 that crypto get invited to W House for dinner & tour + schmooze wiv DT
E) his son Eric opening Executive Branch club: invite only, $500k to join.
