Woke up to more news of Trump madness, this time the film industry. How on earth a man so clearly deranged is in such high office is shocking. If it didn't have such big real world consequences it would be quite sad as he clearly has some serious problems with reality. Surely he has to go.

He is if course right. Sadly it is a well easily tapped and a conversation we hear and read so often from friends family and colleagues.

www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... Sadly someone telling the truth. I'm guessing The Atlantic will be silenced at some time.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it!

I'm off to buy an envelope 👏😄🤣

A sad forsight in to today's reality. The 30% of those eligible to vote in the USA that gave us Trump have done a great disservice to their country and the world. Let's hope we all survive it. Democracy has to be better than competing parties with nothing much apart between them.

It deserved a little better than to be ignored, this is the world we live in.

I wish it was my own work but found this in an artwork group I belong to. Wish You Were Here album cover meets 2025 global reality.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m... Sickened, appalled and disgusted to see a so called Labour Party punching down yet again, hitting the hardest after 14 years is like whipping those already beaten. Do they ever intend punching up?

Talking about the doom and gloom that is Nazi America and all that comes with it is beyond depressing. The UK certainly doesn't have everything right but at least when we had the Truss debacle there were procedures to get her out, I'm assuming the US doesn't have that ability?

To the 30% of those eligible to vote who gave the world Trump, I know you're sorry. To the 70% who didn't vote for him I'm sorry you weren't presented with better choices. What the world will look like when you can all vote again, who knows. What dangerous times we are in. Peace and love to you.

A band that gave me and my lifelong friends unforgettable memories. Weller has never been better. Rik was just solid in the back. Man could play. RIP Rik Butler. youtu.be/EndqhHJx-Ko?...

Spent the weekend trying to paint clouds, not easy.

So, Tesla sales across Europe fall by 59% for a like to like period. Although the initial reaction was an up yours Elon moment. Feel for all the hard working employees likely to lose their jobs while Elon doesn't get a bloody nose. Sad!

Ok, had a lovely afternoon trying to teach myself to paint. Haven't picked up a brush in over 40 years, its really chilling and a nice way to spend some time. I'm hoping practice will lead to perfect. A walk in the woods.😄👍🎨

www.theguardian.com/technology/2... So, billionaires lose some billions reducing their billions, what does this mean in real terms to real people. In the 1920 stock market crash people felt real hardships, there was suicide and poverty, is this latest market correction worth a mention.

My first attempts at artwork since school and I'm 62. It's not perfect by a long way but the next one will be better. This was my 8th try across the weekend I've learnt a lot along the way. I'm happy enough to post it here....

What Happened at Auschwitz: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00276pg via @bbciplayer Required viewing, should be shown in schools. Denial is everywhere the hatred of others intensifies. The richest man in the world the new Presidents best friend now publicly doing Heil Hitler signs.

Oh well, who wants to chat about the plight of those with long term problems anyway. I think you have to have Dr in front of your name, or say that you're a journalist or maybe a published author to get a reply on this new social media, or just talk about Musk and Trump all day.

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... As a father of a 29 year old son with multiple issues who has never worked a week in his life this is scary. He gets PIP and JSA and does all asked off him with a good heart. He gets rejection letters or no reply at all all weekly. 1/2
