My friend Andy Tillison, a fine English musician, has composed this track with Venezuela images about the most evil and loathsome people we are surrounded by today. And yes, we know Maduro is an asshole too. Progressive rock meets jazz meets society. Please do share.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

Others may have already stated this but, by God, the Netflix series ‘Designated Survivor’ is a very pertinent show to watch right now.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

I’ve seen posts hoping #anonymous (@youranoncentral.bsky.social) will regain access to Musk-captured US online services. But if he’s stealing the data for other ends, what different might Anonymous make?

I’m treating the Schumph inauguration like Whamageddon. If I can avoid hearing or seeing any bloody clips of it until 2029, I win a big prize. Who’s with me?
