“The BBC’s coverage of Israel’s genocide is one of the great journalistic crimes of our age.”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @owenjones.bsky.social flame the BBC for its pro-Israel bias and vent at right-wing gaslighting over the outlet’s “liberal” slant.

In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

Down in the garden. Branches are swaying, birds are chirping, butterflies are flitting. There is a cat about.

As “aid” dwindled, international trade disappointed, and tax earnings underwhelmed, African governments went on a borrowing spree. Our external debt has tripled since 2009, according to the Mo Ibrahim Foundation’s 2024 Financing Africa report.
Global loan sharks just love our hungry, hungry hippos

I go down to the garden every day. Each day, despite daily experience, I am afraid to hope for something new, something beautiful.
The wild garlic has sprouted fresh buds overnight. And I laugh silently at the inevitable fear. To say that word sacred, without being an utter fool. #smallbeauty #hope

Wolf was splashing happily in a very hot mustard bath in front of the parlour fire. Old Fox had installed a lovely bathroom upstairs a number of years ago, but Wolf much preferred an old-fashioned affair where one's wallowing was by candlelight and the peaceful hiss and crackle of the hearth.

The struggle to start and finish a new book, which has lasted for an exceptionally long time, has ended. Battered, bruised, eyes sore.
It is done.

Who would dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides
Run for your life
Tonight the riots begin
On the back streets of America
They kill the dream of America
