Mainly getting lost in a cul de sac of learning. I love anything that floats, dives/surfaces, barks, sledges, or I can eat, build or run around.

Spring has arrived in London. A lovely 10k run this morning.

Super excited to be off to see Hades Town tonight. It’s my favourite musical at the moment. Seeing it with the Broadway cast will be amazing.

love our strong, senile president

REPORTER: Is there any talk about US military forces going into Mexico? VANCE: No. Next question.

Four senior members of President Trump’s entourage have secretly met with Ukrainian opposition leaders on potentially holding early elections to unseat Ukrainian President Zelensky, per Politico.

“The Trump administration has publicly and privately signaled that it does not believe Russia represents a cyber threat against US national security or critical infrastructure, marking a radical departure from longstanding intelligence assessments” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A hero

Lots of people who called Maddow viewers Russia conspiracy theorists from 2017-2021 owe people apologies.

I’ve been saying this is coming for a while

BREAKING: The government will no longer require shell companies to disclose their owners and beneficiaries. Wealthy corporations and individuals may now hide their profits from the public.

Dropping sanctions on Russia and putting tariffs on allies would be quite the look.

UK PM Starmer to Zelensky: "You are very, very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers on the street outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom. We will stand with you and Ukraine for as long as it may take."

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Just sent out a free post on the real meaning of the Trump-Zelensky press conference. Trump admitted he was trying to do Putin’s dirty work and force a bad ceasefire on Ukraine. And Zelensky refused to simply shut up and do what the enemies of freedom wanted. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.

Gee I wonder why there’s a shortage of air traffic controllers

Deport people who work hard for a living, import international criminals

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

So I have discovered a new word - Gnomon. A part of a sundial that casts a shadow. I spotted this in the St Sulpice church, Paris this weekend. It aligns the light from the sun at the equinox on the line to help with the identification of when Easter is - v simple summary. Quite cool!

Chopin. Who knew!

I miss DEI

After a trip to the Louvre and the Sulpice church at the weekend I am now a fan of Eugène Delacroix.

Went to Paris this weekend. It was lovely. The queues to enter Notre Dame were something….

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

“White House officials have told Ukraine to stop badmouthing Donald Trump and to sign a deal handing over half of the country’s mineral wealth to the US, saying a failure to do so would be unacceptable.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

This was just 233 days ago:

Bove is in the building for the Adams dismissal hearing.

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

a government full of sexual abusers taking the position that you can't say no

This isn’t a slip into anything. Slip implies an accident or an attempt to hide. This isn’t hidden, it isn’t an accident and it’s by no means the first step

The US switching sides in the world, from pro-democracy and rule of law to anti-both — most immediately seen in helping Europe against Russia to helping Russia against Europe — is the biggest, most profound change to the international system since the USSR collapsed. Immense implications, long tail.

Blaming Ukraine for being brutally invaded by Russia. Putin is really getting his money’s worth.

According to the article linked below, the JFK Library is closed until further notice because of an executive order that apparently has yet to be made public. And according to WGBH's @bedford.bsky.social, Trump fired five key library employees. Not normal. Not good. www.wcvb.com/article/jfk-...

Remember the days of "No one is above the law"? Seems quaintly constitutional now.

NEW: A moment in Munich. Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.” He ends hoping for peace. A long, standing ovation. What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.
