Worth bearing in mind that our King has no power, but the American King has ultimate power
The checks and balances don’t work anymore
And so many people say stuff about how they think the singers are using auto tune when listening to music from the 70s and 80s when it hadn’t been invented
Yes an interesting, strange and slightly odd thing to watch, someone hearing some old music for the first time. Many seem incredulous that anyone was capable of sing/playing music at all. Aural archeologists trying to decipher strange times and places the didn't experience is also interesting
Absolutely everything that is happening in #America right now from #ICE, #Bolton, commuting Santos, all of it is taking place while the people are either colluding and applauding, watching in disbelief or walking away being thankful it’s not them. But it will be them at some point #project2025
Yes like all areas of political discourse [and anti vax is very much political] it's now about what people choose to believe in, any form of facts to counter their beliefs are irrelevant. It's like everyone has taken on a form of closed minded zealotry
#America had revolution to rid themselves of the British monarchy (bankrolled by the French monarchy of course) became a republic with an elected #president who is the head of state. The only thing stopping a president assuming absolute power was the goodwill of the president. Not going well is it
The people relentlessly pushing the ‘our country is broken’ narrative aren’t going to fix it for you. That narrative is what they’re using to get into power. Then the breaking really starts
#America is now embarking on its own version of the Night of the Long Knives, grim and getting grimmer
I’ve always utterly despised the world of the conspiracy theorists in all their half baked nonsense and deliberate distortions. The constant lies and misinformation now spewing out is a real threat to society. Combined the useful idiots who are easily taken in by the rubbish they scroll through
With typical English exceptionalism, we always assume we're worst and/or better than anyone else in all ways, political, social etc. Meanwhile France is descending into who knows what and the AfD are storming ahead in Germany. #France #Germany
Gestapo is harder to say and spell than ICE
#sudan isn’t on your agenda is it. Nothing worse than sanctimonious performative people. No marching, no placards, no one going to The Hague etc etc etc 150,000 dead already by the way in the last two years.
Absolutely brilliant film that really deserves more attention, zeitgeist in its own way set in 1999 (remember the fear of the millennium bug) made in 95. Visually stunning and the cast are superb
The resistance committee warned that time was running out for the estimated 300,000 people who still live in the city.
They added that all food goods had completely disappeared even from shops, in besieged Sudan city www.bbc.com/news/article...
Sudan siege: War crimes alert as el-Fasher runs out of food
Evidence of the intentional targeting of civilians in el-Fasher amounts to war crimes, researchers say.

Maybe #America is becoming what it wants to be in a way that Germany became what it wanted to be. Germany was never just a handful of fanatics controlling everything. A nation went along for the ride. They thought they were on the right side of history didn’t they #maga #trump #project2025
It’s true we did do that didn’t we. Now it’s become unnecessary to remember anything, more than that it’s become unnecessary to know or understand anything as Ai will do that for you. There’s an inevitability about all this unfortunately
Singing without Autotune is known as singing

Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, but it’s being unreported.

@MonicaHarding.bsky.social explains the Lib Dems plan to call for a ceasefire and restore aid, prosperity, and peace for the people of Sudan.
Anyone carrying a two litre bottle of water is performative water carrying
The Euan Blair story is a good example of how people can and will believe anything, especially when it aligns with what they already believe in. Which is rather the point. #hignfy
A short step to the martial law that is being engineered
