I read this in one big gulp. It’s mesmerizing, and should be at least as well-known as anything by Orwell.
What would you do if you were the last woman alive?

JUST FOR ONE DAY by my friend @johnofarrell.bsky.social is the story of how Bob Geldof corralled the greatest musicians of a generation to help millions. It has everything a GenX heart like mine could want: humor, irony, nostalgia, optimism. Here’s hoping it transfers to NYC soon!

We have some old American friends staying with us and it is weirdly reassuring to see their take on how the Epstein stuff is impacting the UK.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

To reiterate: (The fact that he had a gun he never drew is immaterial; the videos show that they attacked him before they knew it; they murdered him after they confiscated it.)

the state police have been deployed to protect the murderer, not the people upset about the murder.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
