OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Very interesting. The Wayback Machine file is coming and going, btw, so grab it while you can.

Quite a crowd for the unveiling of my seasonal poem 'Winter Wood' at Inverewe Garden in Poolewe today! Thanks to arts curator Ginevra House for organising, to all those who turned out on a chilly day & came to the reading afterwards, & a special thanks to the rain for holding off!!! #poetsonbluesky

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

I wasn't one of those who thought a quintessentially British TV show like Doctor Who was finished after the Disney deal, because Russell T Davies still had major creative input. But with Barbara Broccoli gone and Daniel Craig's Bond dead, 007 might be doomed with Amazon. #filmsky 📺 🎥

They are the Nazi Party now. We don’t need to beat around the bush any more. The Nazis are in power in the United States.

"No manner of charm, politics or diplomacy will touch the sides of this new administration. There is simply no transactional offer that can bridge the vast ideological divide that now exists between Europe and the US." So tell them to fuck off. #IStandWithUkraine #RejoinEU

Trump calls Zelensky a dictator?! If that isn't projection on a massive scale I don't know what is. Surely the orange one cannot possibly believe the crap that streams out of his mouth.

You know, I didn't think it was possible to despise anyone as much as I did Margaret Thatcher. By comparison with this piece of illiterate batshit, she seems almost human. Almost.

Some of the most shameful comments uttered by a president in my lifetime. Trump is siding with the aggressor, blaming the victim. In the Kremlin they must be jumping for joy. I’d like to hope Republicans, who used to believe in resisting tyranny, would disavow the things Trump is saying & doing.

Yes. We need government from the bottom up, not from the top down.

The American state is already hated. I feel for my friends across the pond who are trapped in this hellscape they didn't vote for.

Missed this at the time. Have banished Twitter and Meta already, and trying with difficulty, to use Amazon less. Now, apparently, Airbnb's co-founder has joined DOGE....

I love Taylor Swift, but her songs are such earworms. Yesterday 'All Too Well' sang itself to me all day until I was sick of it. Thus morning it was 'Blank Space'. Now it's 'So High School'. Those aren't even my favourites of hers. I don't even get to decide what to put on the mental juke box!!! 🤣

Don't insane people traditionally imagine they're Napoleon? Perhaps he should wear the hat and complete the look.

Loved David Tennant's BAFTA hosting stint, especially (1) his perambulatory rendition of the Proclaimers classic and (2) when he mentioned Trump's ridiculous hair and then said "Talking of villains..." One of the biggest cheers of the night. 😂
