Unsolicited artist advice of the day: if you're a freelancer with no back up devices or storage, remember to pick a few things up in the black Friday sales. Even a pen drive to back up your projects so if you have a catastrophic hard drive failure you wont lose everything..learn from my mistakes. 😅

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Someone has asked for a couple of Dismissal anniversary tea towels. I’m about to make an order. Does anyone else want one (they may be around $50 each if a run of 10)?

Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were

Nixon was nothing compared to this "president".. I don't care about the sanitized version of this "full report", because it is not. Show us the list of video tapes that were found at the mansion, who is on it and did it show and prove blackmail was part of J.E. strategy.

Well done, everybody. Superficial appearance segregated on a gendered binary, enforced by law. Cast your eyes around the world and see which other countries adhere to similar policies and (not coincidentally) exactly how women fare therein.
