Since college I've worked none stop, paid my taxes, stayed on the right side of the law and raised a family. My back is shot to pieces. My knee is always playing up. I have poor circulation in my lower legs and my eyesight is ruined. My question here is: When will someone THANK ME FOR MY SERVICE? 🤔

Me at the dinner table circa 1980:
"What's this, mom?"
"Honey, they call it 'American Cheese'"
"But it doesn't look like any cheese I've ever seen!" 🤔

I'm no fan of Conor McGregor. But this portrait shot by Eric Ray Davidson (for GQ?) is definitely one of the best I've seen. Remarkable piece of photography.

With all of this talk about CTE & Jaxson Dart being tested 4 TIMES! for concussion this season it's worth pointing out that a significant % of former professional athletes suffering CTE reported NEVER ONCE failing a concussion test. It was the cumulative result of thousands of sub-concussion impacts

Wait! Just a few years after the Americans put a gun to the head of Britain and ordered us to disengage from China (a deal worth BILLIONS of pounds) or they would cease sharing intelligence WE are now not sharing intelligence with the US? We should have stuck with China in the first place! 🤬

Why do the Dems not call out Trump for being nothing more than a distraction which focuses your attention whilst Russ Vought works behind the scenes writing policy? Just to ask that question moves you from a liberal complaint to a radical analysis which undermines the entire democratic establishment

After countless episodes of Coles & Woolf's Trump OBSESSED podcast (which is making them A LOT of $) someone FINALLY asks the question which should have been raised during episode one - "Is Trump really in charge? If not - who is?" Bravo Joanna! You're like the deceived spouse. Always last to know 🙄

If I were eligible to vote - the first question I would want answered by the Dems would be: precisely which of Trump's policies will you be completely rolling back? I really don't see much point them getting in if they're just going to say, "Well, the EPA and USAID have been gutted - can't fix that"

I never much cared for Neil Gaiman. And recent revelations have hardly helped. But I will say, the guy had a turn of phrase ... "Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust, and ashes, and forgot"

"Soledad Brother", the combined letters of George Jackson - flat out murdered by the California Prison system in 1971 because of his politics. Here's one of the more memorable passages which discussed the great #MLK. Jackson had enormous respect for King. But not without criticism of his pacifism

If you want to see a priest suffer a fatal brain exception error in a store whilst he's surrounded by his retinue of fawning acolytes - ask if you can borrow a small some of money. On the one hand he's pathologically opposed to lending people anything - on the other, losing face amongst his flock. 😂

How badass were the Spartans when faced with the mighty Athenian expeditionary force in Sicily during the Peloponnesian War they said, "Nah. We'll just send Gylippus." Typical of the Greeks, after his stunning victory they prosecuted him for embezzlement! 😂

There's a popular misconception that the rich are anti-science. The rich are only anti-science when that science doesn't benefit them. Nuclear weapons, missile guidance systems, GPS tracking - oh, they love that kind of science. Science with many, many dollars attached to it.

If you read a lot of the Nazi history around today you're forever hearing about the superiority of Soviet equipment, tanks, guns etc. But the Nazis weren't complaining when they were WINNING.

A couple of people have asked me - why, as a Brit, am I so concerned about American politics? Why bother when it's not your country? Well, that answer is really simple: if it's happening in America it won't be long before it's happening to us.

Can we finally admit that Russ Vought is the acting president of the United States? I can kind of understand the obsession with Trump because he's so visible. But the guy writing policy is Vought whereas Trump is functionally illiterate. The Dems know this. So why concentrate on Trump?

To those brave & honourable Americans who, as I write this, have gone full Oskar Schindler hiding away individuals & families from ICE goons for as long as necessary - I SALUTE YOU. Your basic human decency and immense courage cannot be known at this time. But when it all ends - you will be heroes.
