No, Donald, Vladimir hasn't 'gone crazy': he's just ignoring you, and that's what you really don't like, isn't it?

Mark Carney is the new leader of the free world.

A random thought I had overnight: the felon plays golf twice a week, right? And that costs the US taxpayer $3 million each time? That money is probably Secret Service overtime, helicopters, etc. But, I expect felon has exclusive use of the course, yes? At great cost? So - Who Owns The Courses?

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay. It falls on 3/21, because people with Down syndrome have three copies of the twenty-first chromosome. This is the best Down syndrome PSA ever made and I want you to watch and share it. #WDSD2025

Rule of thumb: if trump says something, the opposite will be true. This should be easy for us in the UK to remember - we've been applying it to the Daily Mail for years.

Starbucks are about to open in my local (UK) high street. They tried (and failed) once before, I suspect the new one won't last all that long.

The @bbc has had troubles aplenty over the years, and governments of all colours attempt to control it: but there are times when it gets something quietly RIGHT. I refer to Radio 3's daughter station Radio 3 Unwind, which could have been designed with me in mind. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

My first trip out of the year (chemo does tend to make you stay at home...), to the EN Launch Club where I'll be sharing my 'expertise' with people who want to either develop or start running awards events. And yes, there may also possibly be an element of talking them into employing me 🤣

Hello Bluesky world! I'm here, like so many, in disgust at the undisguised lurch to the 1930s that's happening in the US and its fallout in the established socials. "History repeats itself. Has to. No-one listens" (Steve Turner)
