It’s Cheese & Corgi Day today! Okay, it’s Cheese Day and Corgi Day. Separately. But Cheese & Corgi grabs the attention (...?) and you try to stop thinking about crisps. And variants on Welsh rarebit.
(Sorry for disinformation: it was cheese & corgi day on 4th June but I've overslept.)

I recall the general principle from my out-in-the-streets days
It’s striking that anti-ICE protesters are diverse, original, inventive, humorous, surprising and resourceful in the myriad ways they care for and protect each other and their communities, while every ICE agent is the same angry, ignorant, predictably violent thug.

Writing with @rupertread.bsky.social about just how devastating the Government- suppressed security report is, particularly its conclusions about our food insecurity. Ministers should be helping to build our resilience to these threats, not burying the report that contains them 👇
It's ecological breakdown that should put us on a war-footing: official
Admissions of extreme, eco-caused national security threats foreground importance of climate adaptation to bring much needed urgency and agency.

Very much in favour of the new law that requires all bad drivers to display a white flag with a red cross on it to warn other motorists of their incompetence. Excellent idea.

“Swapping territory” is how you suggest ending a war when you view the world as a Monopoly board, with no sense that countless people other than yourself have actual human lives, because you’re a narcissistic sociopath whose brain is diseased and whose shrivelled heart is full of dust.

K Starmer We have a huge majority
UK We still don't like you. But we like the others even less (apart from the Greens)
KS I can live with that
UK Not sure we can. Will you rethink?
KS Sorry; did you speak? Was miles away …
