@thisamericanlife.org podcast is usually a source of beautiful slices of the human experience, occasionally taking on more disturbing topics. The main story in this episode is one of them. The #IDF in #Gaza very deliberately targeting children is one of those. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

All dignity, all credibility gone, destroyed in just a few months. "The White House" - incredible. It's like watching someone losing their fucking mind, every day another mad hateful cry for help. Is it time to section America?

Pulled out my favourite @kinkyfriedmanofficial novel ‘Roadkill’ and found two (!) ticket stubs from a tremendous show at the Tron theatre in 2008 signed by the Kinkstah and the Texas Jewboys. Had forgotten about the tickets and I don’t remember getting them signed. Kosmic. @willienelson.bsky.social
