“A U.S. citizen child suffering from a rare form of metastatic cancer was deported without medication or the ability to consult with their treating physicians–despite ICE being notified IN ADVANCE of the child’s urgent medical needs.”

Depravity

Sunday. I stayed in bed until 12:30, was tolerable, and I spent the afternoon pleasantly, walking, lying in the grass, drinking milk, and reading. —Franz Kafka, 1916

Kafka 🖤

What a perfect Sunday he enjoyed.

When a Nazi officer barged into Picasso's studio in occupied Paris, he saw a reproduction of Guernica, Picasso's painting of the deaths of civilians in war. Shocked by the apparent 'modernist chaos' of the painting, he asked, "Did you do that?"

Picasso replied, "No, you did."

I'm absolutely speechless.

You get a lot of sky for your money in Glasgow

Easy to see why people are doing that, it’s less terrifying than the alternative. Hope lives here.

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

I worked in paediatric endocrinology for the last 20 years of my working life and before that was bit of a Jill of all trades in acute medical and surgical. Loved my job but happy to be retired too.

Tediously predictable that Johnson - liar and cheat all his life - pusher of a ruinous Brexit - epic disgrace of a PM - kicked out of power by his own party - thinks he can persuade us that Trump’s grim betrayal of Ukraine is a cunning plan to punish Putin. He never tires of being a total arsehole.

Dear BBC the USA is not ‘stepping up pressure on Ukraine to agree a peace deal’. It is taking Russia’s side in the war.

Trump emerges from a giant cake at Putin’s party in the Kremlin. Delighted guests include Steven Seagal, Lavrov, Tucker Carlson, Kim jong un, Ramzan Kadyrov, Aleksandr Lukashenko and Mickey Rooney. Musk is inside an enormous bottle of ketamine. Obvs.

You first.

Good morning to you too, Bill.

Good morning, Friends! Happy Thursday! It's time for coffee to get our day moving forward... well, some days we move a bit slower than others. I hope you're having a pleasant morning. Let's take a positive attitude and a smile into the day & make someone's day a bit brighter. Enjoy a fabulous day!🫶🏼🕊️

After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous.

There must be no ethnic cleansing.

Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.

It’s official: Research has found that libraries make everything better. Science has backed up what many of us have long been saying: the library rocks. A study from the New York Public Library surveyed 1,974 users on how the library makes them feel and how it affects t…

Libraries are good for you, and research agrees.

Starmer is to attend an EU summit and Brexiters are having a proper tantrum about it.
As if they negotiated something good.
As if our industries hadn’t been desperately lobbying govt ever since.
As if the EU wasn’t an ally.
Brexiters are monstrous toddlers - a total drag on diplomacy and progress.

I have no doubt that Trump/Musk tariffs will fail, and equally, I have absolute faith that when they do, it will be everybody else's fault.
