Oh, he's having the time of his LIFE.
And there it is. All your fault, Minnesota, that there will be no midterm elections....

Because regime change has worked oh-so-bloody-well every time we've tried it.
The most important question is "Act by doing what?"
Despite the internet blackout in Iran, reports & video footage show that the Iranian authorities have launched a bloody crackdown to crush the protests. The intl community should urgently act & stop further massacres of protesters in Iran.

I'm just so horribly offended that Kemi Badenoch *dare* call herself smart, when all the available evidence, and there is a *lot* of it, points in entirely the opposite direction.

There's a lot to enjoy in this, but I'm a big fan of this attempted analogy to her career as a software engineer that seems to think that that meant "plumber" building to the final punchline that she sees herself as reflective, thoughtful, and a non-clashing personality.

But cutting aid budgets has absolutely nothing to do with increasing numbers of refugees, right?
RIGHT??
RIGHT??
UN: A staggering 55 million people across West and Central Africa are expected to suffer crisis levels of hunger, or worse, during the lean season from June to August as funding cuts to humanitarian operations continue amid rising violence and displacement.

#NFWHealth OK, I've got the new painkillers and have taken double the dose the pharmacist recommended. "Don't be shy!" as Ryszard said.
Let's see if I float off anywhere interesting. Ant the pain stops.

Truly baffled at the information environment around her. Like if you read this you'd think her party were idk above 20%, in the polls?

It's funny - we talk about herding cats, but when #Marmite wants something she circles me like a sheepdog, so somewhere she's got an instinct for herding.

Please do not vote for this, dear Germans. The last time your government prioritized business with Russia, it resulted in the Russian regime becoming wealthy enough to wage war under sanctions for years.

Indeed. There’s just something so cringeworthy about her “everything is falling into place. My genius stands validated” tone. Kemi, your party is falling apart under you and because of you.

#NFWHealth OK, Ryszard's said he'll try and pick up my biopsy results tomorrow morning before we go for the CT scan.

And there's even more bad strategy in all the immigration and shutting down left-wing protests.
And then there's taking even more money off the sick and disabled, while rewarding the super-rich.
Absolutely *none* of that should be policy for a *Labour* government.

No i'm surprised. But none of those errors were caused by the context but by poor prepararion and bad strategy (the tax pledge).
Starmer has never had a clear strategic approach so he has to take some blame.

It's difficult. And EVEN MORE fucking difficult in a foreign language when you tell the specialists that there is a language barrier, and they say "no there isn't".
Fuckwits.
YES THERE IS. I can't say what I want to say the way I want to say it - THAT's a barrier.

Then we have a very difficult task ahead of us. At present, there is no *description* of autism, only a list (DSM-5) of external 'flags'. No-one, except autists, has any understanding of what autism *IS*. We need to give them that, so they can understand? 🤔🤷♂️

#NowPlaying A Guy Called Gerald - "Automanikk"
After leaving 808 State, this guy started on his solo career, and this was his 2nd album, from 1990.
Very very good indeed. He had a very original take on dance music.

I couldn't possibly do it. Any 8 tracks I chose would be completely dependent on my mood on any given day.
Are they still doing the bible and Shakespeare?
Frankly, I could do without both of those.
I suppose I could use them for toilet paper or something.

I worry that it shows me to be deeply controlling that I know exactly what I would pick in large part because I have a very clear idea of what else I would want to *talk* about.
I am delighted I will never be famous enough to be on Desert Island Discs. I struggle to pick my favourite eight Radiohead tracks / Frank Turner songs let alone "the entire canon of western music".
I could probably do you "my favourite eight madrigals written between 1580 and 1625". Just.
