RIP Rob Reiner. What a loss, and a tragedy.
Hard to believe he is gone. Influential is not the word! My language is that of Rob Reiner’s films, especially This is Spinal Tap.
“Too much fkn perspective.”
Pictured - my copy of ‘A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever’, signed by Rob Reiner.

Analysis: Which Xmas films are the most Xmassy?
A chilling headline, for anyone who understands the playbook of fascist regimes:
“ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants.”
“The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.”

When your house floods/catches fire, or food starts getting too expensive or unavailable, or extreme heat events kill lived ones, remember it was avoidable, and the perpetrators are:

Some light reading for this evening!
A tome of this kind is incredibly useful - one that gathers the evidence of every industry which obstructs action on the climate emergency.
The contents pages list the industries sending us all to a climate hell in a handcart to protect their wealth / power.

So we’ve just seen what might actually be considered the first Category 6 hurricane hit Jamaica.
Climate change:

It’s us.
It is already dangerous, lethal for many, and getting worse.

Good to know, thanks.
Yes, I’m also reassured by Sultana’s statement re transphobia.
I’m a member now, and I will definitely be casting a vote that a core policy or ideal will be “no transphobia”.
If the party does not go down that route, I will simply cancel my membership and go Green again.
