In German, we spell 'English' as 'Englisch', with 'sch'. A friend's US nan looked at the back of my dictionary & said: "That's spelled wrong." No matter how we explained, she just couldn't comprehend. The difference of minds with or w/o the gift of foreign languages & travel.

After two days of nonstop rain, wind, & darkness, yesterday afternoon I ventured out for a short walk. I didn't feel like it. It wasn't inviting. But it was good.

Even grim grey & cloudy twilight look better outside.

I'm reluctant to be negative - I hate to think how it'll affect you. But this is where I am:

Live your life.
Don't waste any time.
Take that flight.
Make that journey.
See the world.
It doesn't matter.
Our efforts were valiant & right.
But it's no use pretending.
Just live your life to the fullest.

When Trump was re-elected, my 1st thought was: that's earth gone. He will take climate change past the point of slow-down or reversal.

And here we are: Unlimited emissions.

Trump is "scrapping the landmark 2009 finding that greenhouse gases threaten human life by warming the planet."

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.”

💥 GOOD.

Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition…

…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir…

…while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…

Stinks.

That disgusting, racist, vile clip that Trump posted? The one that shows the Obamas as monkeys? Could everyone please mark that as sensitive?

Yes, it's important to alert everyone to his nauseating hate speech, but we don't want to popularise the video 🙏

This goes out to every man who still venerates Trump. Where is your rage? Why aren't you taking him to task?

And to every man who was there. Where are your witness statements? Why do WE have to speak out, bear witness - only to be exposed, doubted, patronised once again? While you save your skin?

Measles vaccination, human rights, international peace, European unity. The far right have never met a 20th century achievement that they don't want to destroy, and all in the name of the most fragile and pathetic men on the planet.
