Planet Earth, "A Ship Of Fools" boasting exceptionalism, wielding one word in various languages as the answer to any & all questions; the very definition of a fool, "Someone who knows
everything", & at least half of us are someones as we sail along hoping "hope" will solve it all, without our help.
To be born and immediately designated as wrong; is at least, interesting.
Silence Is Complicity
Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy & stood around as he bled to death - video.

Anti-Zionism is not Antisemitism
The State of Israel is not "The Jews"
Currently the state of Israel is a terrorist state

America's needs and Trump's agenda are very different.

Musing on AI
AI is theft and a new medium saturated with the character, beliefs and attitudes, for good or ill, of those who teach it. How much as an artist you use it is perhaps a measure of how much of yourself you believe is worth using and revealing.

To be distinguished by birth in a nation claimed to be a meritocracy, seems instead to be a cynical oxymoron hiding in plain sight.

It's embarrassing just listening to him. Boast boast boast lie, boast boast boast lie. How could anyone capable of processing data have voted for this guy?

Elon Musk's net worth, valued at over $450 billion to $500 billion in late 2025/early 2026, exceeds the combined wealth of the bottom 50% of American households (fact check it).
So who's got "your money"? It certainly isn't immigrants, though Elon Musk (born South Africa 1971) *is* an immigrant.

As Volodymyr Zelenskyy says, "The US often asks what concessions Ukraine can make, but does not ask this of Russia."

It is a mistake to believe that "America First" is Donald Trump's priority. Donald Trump's priority is "Donald Trump First" and that is a policy, practice, motive, endgame and outcome difference to be aware of.

In the case of the USA invading Greenland, The Nuremberg Defence ("I was following orders") does not apply.
It is *The Legal Duty* of U.S. service members to refuse an unlawful order, such as invading a NATO ally.

I turned my mobiles off from Christmas Eve to January 2nd. It was liberating, a huge sigh of relief.
It was Great.
It's good to be a voter.
We are forever blameless.
Trump believes he's a genius and, with the exception of a couple of dictators, he believes every one else is a fool.
Millions of people seem determined to prove him right.

Why do so few people fact check? Is it because they're too lazy or is it because they're afraid their beliefs and opinions will be proved false? In either case, it's dangerous, for them, the children and everyone else.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a founding NATO member. As such, Greenland is covered by Article 5, which views an attack (e.g. on Denmark/Greenland ) by an external aggressor (or a fellow member e.g. the USA) as an attack on all.

Those who persuade you to believe absurdities can persuade you to commit atrocities.
History is overflowing with examples of atrocities being justified by a belief in absurdities.
If only history was as popular as religion. We'd have a chance then of not making the same mistakes over and over and over again.

The Enemies Of The People (and their children) are those with firmly held, considered and committed political opinions based on a focussed, determined and unshakeable decision, at any cost, to not factcheck.

Ukraine, Corruption!
Of course there's no corruption in the Russian administration under Putin, & no corruption in the US administration under Trump. We should be grateful for that & place condemnation where it belongs.

It's the media's duty to clarify: Asylum Seekers taking taxis for medical appointments were following government-contracted providers' rules. For necessary travel beyond the weekly bus pass, taxis were the approved method for medical journeys.
Immigrants were obeying the rules, not taking advantage.
Once upon a time
It was the same as it is
Only it wasn't once upon a time
It's been so many times
As it is
And will be again
Time after time

Hopefully
Once upon a time
Time after time
Trying to make it better

Interesting that the Israel / Gaza war (a continuation of the war that started in 1948) is not referred to as a "Holy War", another in a long line of Holy Wars conveniently (for believers) not described as such.

Wetherspoon & Dyson, 2 of many (should have done some research) leading "leavers" who helped persuade millions to Brexit the EU & then grew to experience & recognise the ill-considered, self-harming realities of Brexit as the EU took its border back.
