So the good news is that Donald Trump says he won't invade Greenland.
The bad news is that he also doesn't seem to know what it's called or where he is

I keep trying to word a post to describe the presidential address to the press which is ongoing, and nothing quite covers it. It’s a ramble, of a babble of a frayed meander through the disordered thoughts of a strange, strange man. Who happens to be president.

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

‘There is one story we never tell’: will old family photos bring joy to my ailing mother – or remind us of dark secrets?
As Alzheimer’s tightens its grip, we have started making our way through the hundreds of albums in my childhood home. But some are too painful to revisit

A 🧵 on #AIDS in the 80s/90s:
I was 15 when I first had sex with a man.
I’d snuck off to London’s Heaven nightclub with the express intent of ridding myself of my ‘gay virginity’, a goal I achieved easily with a visiting American photographer.

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party.
It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.
We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it.
Never again for everyone.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

I’ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And I’m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that I’m lying.
I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention
