Trump & South African President Ramaphosa - the best that can be said about Trump’s appalling, lying behavior, is at least Cyril is in good company - with Zelensky…. Although why any visiting head of state would put themselves through this is beyond me

I’m not the world’s most reliable or regular catholic, but this post from the Whitehouse and from President of the United States’ own social media platform offends and revolts me to the core. It is an assault on Christianity.

After these 100 days, isn’t it time to call a spade a spade - and call the president’s lies lies- not “falsehoods”?

Stacking cat litter in the same aisle as breakfast cereals might not be the smartest thing, particularly for shoppers distracted by their cellphones. Commenting for a friend…

Sharing this meme. Worth repeating because both Musk and Trump keep regurgitating this proposterous lie

Not really a royalist, but this photo speaks volumes and makes me proud.

@ashotinthearm.bsky.social Yvette Raphael challenging Musk’s favorite South African white supremacist group’s disinformation - who exactly are “normal South Africans?”

Books that influenced me deeply - Aldous Huxley’s The Perennial Philosophy (1945) a valiant attempt (if not always successful - but that’s beside the point) to codify, curate the different types of religious, mystical experiences across the world’s different religions…
