1. Back in the early 80s I had a penfriend in Japan. We shared a love of music and she sent me a cassette tape of an artiste called Akiko Yano - descrbied as the Joni Mitchell of Japanese music. I played that tape to death, and eventually it broke or I lost it or something.

What does Farage know about working hard or being productive? Bloody grifter.
BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance

"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense”

Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

How long before we see the first American defection?
This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

Just saying but my overwhelming memory of the winter Olympics is 1980 and watching Eric Heiden (what an athlete!) win all the speed-skating medals while listening to John Foxx's Metamatic, which I'd just bought with my pocket money

The United States and Israeli regimes were booed by the rest of the world at the Winter Olympics this week.

The lesson is, you can buy up all the media platforms to push your propaganda and favored narratives…

…but the world will still see you for who you truly are.

Sometimes it pays to make things open access. Sadly this isn't.
But you get the drift.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit.
Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

This is new to me. We knew that Epstein was working with Kremlin official Belyakov to circumvent sanctions post Crimea, but his eagerness to help Putin beat the West predates that

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just erased one of the Epstein files completely from their website.

It was the file that outlined an allegation that Trump forced a 14 year old girl to give him oral sex.

The coverup is real! It was file EFTA01660651.pdf

Let me get this straight.
The Tories who effectively broke 🇬🇧 are defecting to Reform who claim 🇬🇧 is broken and the people should vote for Reform because they are the only ones who can fix 🇬🇧 together with the people who originally broke 🇬🇧.
Perhaps they’ve learned from their mistakes?

🎵I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending…🎶

The people who broke our country are the same people Nigel Farage is now relying on to fix it.

It couldn’t be clearer: Reform UK are simply the Conservatives with a new logo.
