"It's not climate change. It's called WEATHER."

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

All the talk of British Steel today…. hope they’re making plans for Nigel.

It’s like watching Dr Strangelove, mixed with all the megalomaniac Bond villains, plus every other deranged book and film baddie all rolled into one! It would be funny if it wasn’t so terrifying.

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Celandines are so lovely!

Really interesting. Thanks.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but perhaps they should step up now then. Somebody has to give some leadership to a constructive Opposition, instead of just watching it happen as seems to be the case.

It will be interesting if one of the dangerous chunks debris from these regular mishaps lands on Moscow instead of in the ocean. It’s like a rejected script for a James Bond film. Why is nobody regulating this?

No thankyou to BT interview man who asked why I’d done physics as a girl, no thank you to the mum of a student peer who said I’d taken her son’s job because I was a girl, no thank you to the Japanese manager at work who passed me the photocopying in a meeting. Actually- thankyou - you made me 💪!

The first two look the same but look very different afterwards. Plastic surgery?

Little consolation as right-minded Americans seem to be allowing it to escalate. ‘Silence is consent’. It’s worrying to observe from afar.

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

IT’S WORKING!!!! KEEP SHOWING UP, MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!

Congressman Al Green on X: "Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome https://t.co/sVklRmPCJl" / X Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Reminiscent of the courts of Kings like Louis XIV, where people vied to get close and attend the King rising or at meals or going to bed etc. Perhaps DT really does imagine he too is an absolute monarch?

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

Lovely to see a happy story. She is so different!

Dictatorship or tyranny fit too

I don’t think the collective moral compass was so broken in the late ‘70s.

Relaxing in the hammock today

I was hoping Bluesky would have balance and a civilised debate but sadly, it seems to be changing. Admittedly, what T is doing is enough to upset anyone but this is not the ‘other place’. I think some people should try to remember that. (Or am I just seeing the posts by ‘Bots’? Can’t tell).

Ouch! 😩

Seems much faster than in 1933.

Yes. Just getting over concussion. 😢

Note to anyone who needs it today: A man who believes that a cleric's plea for compassion is "hate speech" has no business invoking God, or claiming to be a believer in anything but himself.

It was very depressing.
