Pretending to be a grown up for far too long.
Easily distracted by dogs, books, and coffee. Not necessarily in that order.
Sometimes I admit to being a writer.

There’s been a long string of incidents of the current incumbent/encumbering oaf doing things that are legally and constitutionally prohibited.
That’s why there’s millions of people marching under the banner of “no kings” because the orange cockwomble acts like a monarch.

Charles I was the last British king that sent troops against the people and we cut off his head.

We have monarchs here in the UK, but the last time one of them thought they were more important than Parliament and the people we cut his head off.

I think it would be better to make them eat each other. A reality show where the public get to vote who’s next.

Transportation - rail and buses are technically not privatised so it’s just a case of reabsorbing the contracts. Then every utility. I wouldn’t limit government involvement to industry - the housing sector needs a healthy dose of competition from massive expansion of council housing.

Loopy Liz. Just how right wing do you have to be to think that the billionaire owned right wing propaganda factories masquerading as media in the UK are left wing?

He’s a rodeo clown. His purpose is to distract and confuse. He’s the puppet we watch instead of seeing the actual destructive reality.

Why did the chicken cross the road? The bribe was on the other side.

I’d love to see Tony Gilroy’s update of Blake’s 7.

Get out in the wild with one of these. Very calming, very healthy. Time with Lucy Labrador helped me lose 50kg and literally saved my life.

I want to know how they reconcile Mathew 25:45 with their rabid attacks upon the marginalised and vulnerable, and then claim to be “Christian”.

Unfortunately his job is to be a puppet to oligarchs and foreign powers and to act as a rodeo clown and distract us from the heist that is emptying the pockets of the people to make the extremely wealthy obscenely wealthy.

Compare and contrast current GOP/fascism to Eisenhower conservatism. Most people claiming to be conservative don’t realise that their actual political beliefs fall far to the left of the current political structure.

Trump isn’t the problem. Trump’s puppet masters are the problem. Trump is just the rodeo clown - his role is to distract us from the real issues.
When trump goes they’ll just find another clown to distract us.

0) A prosperous egalitarian population with financial power distributed among the populace: a sturdy consumer economy resulting from a well rewarded workforce and middle class.
Without this all the other stuff fails. Every single time.

Remember to include the word “yet” whenever you’re faced with criticism. If you don’t like what you’re writing? You don’t like your writing yet. First drafts suck, that’s why they’re rarely final drafts.

Write without judgement and then edit without mercy.
Inner critics aren’t inherently bad they’re just often poorly timed. Don’t banish them (it never works), just tell them to come back later when they can really sink their teeth in and help with your project.

I think Ann forgot that a large proportion of trump voters are so inbred many of them only have one set of grandparents.

I’m really surprised they weren’t already unionised.

Used books are great, but don’t forget that libraries are a zero cost way to do the same.

I’m 55 recently diagnosed with autism and ADHD. Have been all my life. Neurodivergence hasn’t increased, diagnosis and understanding has increased.

Restitution by the criminal should include replacement of damaged property, supply of copies of books destroyed to other institutions and, having to read every book they destroyed and pass an exam that determines their understanding of the books.

Same. Formally diagnosed at 53 and the medication has been life changingly amazing. Just frustrated that I wasn’t diagnosed and treated earlier in my life.

Golgafrincham Ark B strategy. If we can get all the billionaires and bigots to go to mars we might have a better chance of saving earth.
