The #PatrioticMillionaires want to be taxed. They want to live in a fairer society. Philanthropy is all very nice, but it is also a form of control. Taxation is better for wealth distribution.

Susan Davy, the CEO of South West Water, is paid a salary of £860,000 a year to oversee this disgusting shambles. She should be sacked, and made to pay the money back. #devon #exmouth #pollution westcountryvoices.co.uk/could-groups...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

If Donald Trump had been in a position of power in 1775, America would still belong to Britain.

Royal visit for the Fanta Führer. Yuck

It'll cost us a ton of money and all decent people will boycott it. Sickening to have to schmooze the tangerine tyrant.

I just had an unusually sophisticated attempt to scam my Amazon account. I received a text alert from a number that has previously sent a verified Amazon one-time code. Next, I received a phone call with a recorded message about a suspect purchase on my account, asking me to press 1 >>

Now that federal science agencies are in disarray, and our media ecosystems and social media platforms mostly peddle hate and disinformation, what are the best, most trusted sources of accurate information today? Bluesky, Wikipedia, NPR, PBS, ...? But what about more specific areas? #science

OK, that's enough politics for one day. I'm off to bed in a minute, with a long drive in horrible weather and two dul commercial shoots tomorrow. I'll leave you with a shot of my beloved Dartmoor:

An absolute skeeve. He's a massive MAGA of course, but also replies with genuinely creepy comments to obvious porn bots. What is this guy's damage?
