Learning to write copy. In between the work and the parenting and the commute. I write about what I learn here. Mainly so I can write but also so I can tell myself off when I don't do any learning. Sometimes I talk about other stuff.

No. If stability depends on the word of Donald Trump, you need to find stability elsewhere.

Well...

Putin's very pleased with his 'accomplishments'.

The irony is that climate change science is indirectly supported by the Trump administration. They wouldn't want Greenland if they couldn't easily get the minerals that climate change is rapidly making accessible.

If he wants Greenland, he DOES believe in climate change.

'Treat people as you'd wish tobe treated.'

I know. More than a bit trite.

But in terms of moral bearing, it rarely lets me down.

So you're arguing that the government should have complete control over the media?

I gave it 24 hours. My brain is still interpreting this video the same way. With that - and the comments - I can only conclude that she said these things.

'Given the responsibility of your position and the fact that you don't have a fucking clue what's going on in your own country, don't you think it's high time you resigned and sought a position more suited to your all-round uselessness?'

Surely this is just trolling?

The idea that he actually believes this is too nauseating to process.

So Kilmeade apologised for something he didn't say?

You're either a gaslighter or a moron.

I'd think better of you if you were a moron.

A lot of people will support this too.

They'll push the idea of 'nuance', while insisting on left and right wing takes with every other issue.

Trump can no longer use Kirk's murder as political capital so he's lost all interest in him.

'shining new martyr' - it didn't take as long as I thought it would before the usual suspects used Kirk's death as political capital.

I'm not gonna comment on Charlie Kirk

Safest way.

But I'd wager even money that the group who are absolutely appalled at the laughing emojis all over the reports are the same group who plaster that emoji over articles of drowning migrants.

There will ALWAYS be an 'other'. The rich and powerful need it for the masses.

He probably does speak English.

Which is no advantage when speaking to Trump.

38%.

38% are all for a corrupt, petty, fascist paedophile who'd sell out the country to Putin in a heartbeat if it meant justice didn't find him.

Russia and China must be laughing their tits off.

'Make America Great Again' he said.

And yet it looks weaker than it's ever done since 1776.

My wife, in her haste, forgot the ice pack for her back. So I hauled it for 25 minutes across town, wrapped in a teatowel.

Which means - for 25 minutes - I was ready for my trip across the Galaxy.

Nobody came.

One more heartbreak in the voyage of life.

Yeah. I was fine with it Although one take I was sorta on board with was that the goofy elements were overplayed. I mean - that element is definitely there. But we are talking about the end of the world here. And its hardly smooth sailing for Gosling's character once he's out in space.

Yep. This. Just the finding common ground and working together for the greater good - that was the real wonder of the book for me.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

Reading Ripley Under Ground. The experience is not unlike the Talented Mr Ripley, where you're on edge throughout the book because you think that a) your sociopath and serial killer protagonist is going to get caught and b) this mindset doesn't reflect well on you. I'd probably DNF but I paid 99p.

How do you tolerate the contempt? Because that's what it is.

She's laughing at them. And by extension American citizens.
