To keep myself sane during lockdown, I decided to start gardening on my flat's balcony. Lilies are common funerary flowers, so black lilies seemed apt for a pandemic. I've never had green fingers, so I'm rather proud that they're thriving 5 years later! The first flower opened today ☺️

It seems like Trump is learning about the limitations of conducting foreign policy by executive order. It must be tough to discover that you're not the Golden God-King of the universe. What should he do to make his ego great again?

I'm not sure what it says about me when my phone has started advertising off-brand Lego gallows play sets ...

Rumours of my demise have been greatly over-exaggerated 🤣

Fascism doesn't start with jackboots & detention camps; It is death by a thousand cuts, accompanied by a chorus of the unaffected telling the injured to stop overreacting. If you've waited until there are troops on the streets, you're FAR too late. "Land of the free" was always hollow propaganda.

I've never been a Star Wars fanboy, but Andor Season 2 was so good that I've set the music from the wedding dance as my ringtone ... They made a good choice with the soundtrack, going with modern electronica rather than a traditional John Williams style score; It makes events feel closer to home.

Klaatu Barada Nikto!

I just finished watching a complete run through of Andor (seasons 1 & 2) followed by Rogue One, and I was completely hooked ... It is by far the best storyline from a galaxy far far away IMHO! Unpopular opinion : Star Wars is much better without those stupid space wizards getting in the way.

After their awful qualifying, Mercedes consider fast-tracking a B-Spec car ... #F1 #Qualifying #Monaco

When you make peaceful dissent impossible, you make violent dissent inevitable. BDS is not a crime. Standing against genocide is not anti-Semitic. When non-violent means are stigmatised or criminalised, Americans will reach for the one tool that they've always been told is for fighting tyranny ...
