It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

I don’t know if anyone noticed but this post was inspired by the 1983 film of Willy Russell’s play Educating Rita.
A working class mature student (Julie Walters) visits her Open University tutor (Michael Caine)’s house and reports to her friend
“It’s so unpretentious. Books and plants everywhere.”

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

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

'Face of the Moon.' (1797) John Russell was the finest British pastel artist of his time. One of his sitters, the astronomer William Herschel encouraged him to buy a telescope, and with this he produced a number of remarkable pastel drawings of the moon.

Forget what you know about bushwalking and survival. The Tasmanian bush is different from anywhere else.
Never go alone, carry an EPIRB, notify authorities where you’re going and for how long and do not deviate!
Better still, pay for a guide, survival is measured in minutes here at times.

Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
