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

Just now (8pm Thursday 27 Nov, ch 7/2, Sydney) Spotlight is advertising exactly this product on the TV.

🤬
Fuck Spotlight !

I get constantly bombarded by ads from them.

"Bought" something today, "click & collect". "Will be ready in two hours".

Drove to the shop (>2 hrs later) - & a very grumpy response - was told to go & wait for a confirmation message.

Then this.

Not happy.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

I don't agree with John Ruddick about many things, but I wish him success for this case.

Tim Snyder knows about this stuff, like no-one else does.
"Timothy Snyder: Russian invasion is on a world war scale, but Ukraine alone is fighting it, keeping us in a 1938-like historical moment"

#BlueSkyFriends Call your Senators & House Member & demand they work against this outrageous betrayal of Ukraine & Europe.
