"Social isolation increases our mortality risk."
"It’s bad for communities, too, because it stops us seeing, perhaps even caring, what’s going on."

It's glorious late autumn in Europe. Put on layers & hats, make the most of it. Winter too. Exercise and socialise.
Forget Jomo, gezellig and hygge – this winter, let’s get a grip and go out | Emma Beddington
The dark nights are here and staying in is more appealing than ever. But there’s a very real cost to not venturing out, writes Emma Beddington

It's nowhere near enough. Fascistic, psychopathic & narcissistic - these are drivers of his words & actions, according to experts. Well done @thedailybeast.bsky.social for going Inside Trump's Head. He ticks all the boxes - every descriptor of these conditions. His memory is also shot to pieces.

These are the crass, vile, vulgar and dangerous individuals who have brought an entire nation into disrepute. Trump is an evil lying dotard who surrounds himself with fools, crooks and incompetent enablers. Respect to all those who speak out against this regime. Shame on those who do not.

JD Vance concluded in 2016 that he believed accusations made by victims—like Katie Johnson (a 13 year-old at the time of the alleged assaults)—that Trump had engaged in serial sexual assault.

"Katie Johnson" (a pseudonym) dropped her lawsuits because of death threats.

Former GOP Congressman David Jolly noted that the true Constitutional crisis is that this Congress apparently will refuse to do its duty to restrain an out of control President, if necessary by impeachment in the House and removal from office in the Senate.

"The Downing Street mentality mistakes competence for conviction and caution for strategy."
"Starmer promised change . . . and delivered continuity."
Competence? The winter fuel allowance? Gaza? Ridiculous pledges on taxation?
