The modern condition of waking up to horrible news from all over the world and just having to shove that all back down and get on with your silly little job 😞

Today is the day that Ukraine utterly shattered the spearhead of Soviet (and I mean that) strategic aviation. My heartiest congratulations to the SBU and all others involved in such a master stroke. Spectacular!

Elon Musk is responsible for at least 300,000 deaths, a number that's steadily increasing, it doesn't include Ukrainian civilians murdered as a result of his attempt to protect the Russian navy when he disabled Starlink to sabotage a Ukrainian defence operation.

Reading this (and loving it) but BOY half these stories would nowadays be called “trauma dumping”. Amazing first hand accounts from survivors of Jutland, the Hood, and Op Pedestal

⚠️ For those unfamiliar with the term “remigration,” it does not only mean deportation of undocumented immigrants but also the expulsion of non-white people to the country of their racial or ethnic ancestral origin without regard to their citizenship, legal status, or place of birth.

the neurodivergent anger that comes with learning existence is just about Having To Do Things all the time. I don’t want to Do Things. I want to be an ancient, twisted tree in a meadow of daisies.

Check out Byung-Chul Han’s “The Burnout Society.” We are burning out because we drive ourselves to perform, because we self-exploit and push our own selves harder than the worst boss. The cure is leisure, disconnection, non-achievement.

Astonished at the number of anti constitutional activities happening and amidst the outrage, not a single peep about the second amendment. All talk and no trousers

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

Events in the USA appear to be exactly what the second amendment was written for- and yet, all those brave rugged individualists are idle and silent. The sheer hollowness of it all

If you want to stop World War Three, think what would have stopped World War Two. Occupation of the Ruhr. Anschluss with Austria. Annexation of Sudetenland. Hitler could have been stopped each time. But fear of war led to war. Don’t repeat the mistake. #SlavaUkraini

Just watched the Killing Fields for the first time. Having read a lot about Pol Pot since the movie came out, not quite as traumatic as I think people originally found it

British parents of young adults: be prepared to lose them to living & working in the EU somewhere if they fall in love with young EU adults over here on the 'youth mobility scheme'..They will find it is impossible for the vast majority to meet UK immigration requirements to settle in the UK together

‘What General Weygand called the “Battle of France” is over. I expect that the battle of Britain is about to begin’.--Winston Churchill. I find myself thinking about that quote applying to the war in Ukraine and the possiblity of a wider war in Europe if we don't do enough to help them win it.

It seemed completely mad that the (esteemed) Crick Institute offer for early testing was not even responded to, Especially if it rolled out a testing protocol and was the lead institute of other organisations using their protocols.

Here's why you should care about the UK-EU Summit on Monday. A deeper trade deal could deliver up to 2.2% GDP growth. That's 8X the India, Japan, Australia & New Zealand trade deals combined. And more than any other policy on the table - including planning reform & Heathrow expansion.

Starmer’s immigration focus is the dumbest, stupidest piece of political manoeuvring I’ve seen in a long time. His rhetoric is going to split his coalition and whatever he promises will only drive the racists to demand more. You can’t placate them. It’s a losing strategy.

"Keir Starmer to cap immigration at 0, blow up the arrivals terminals at all major UK airports and order the Royal Navy to shoot approaching vessels on sight - but in greatest Brexit betrayal yet, still refuses to allow us to hunt people with foreign vibes for sport! Only Farage can save us."
