What would you call the highest ranking member of a government who gave a you’re innocent pass to people convicted criminally of conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state, nation or monarch in one’s own country?

I mentioned earlier today that I had done a watercolour of the London Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand. This is it from 1993 (see alt text). I did several paintings wandering up and down the Strand and also in the Inns of Court.

Apparently, it is now acceptable to attain a new status in life, simply by proclamation.

I hereby declare I am a 6' 2", 27 yr-old EGOT winner who is currently dating Taylor Swift.

Thank you for your attention to our delusions.

Strange isn't it... the people who actually live in London overwhelmingly think it's safe.... almost like everyone else is falling for a lie
I wonder what Londoners know that the rest of the country don’t?

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

It's the beauty of re-homing a dog like Stormzy as it opens up a space immediately.

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK"

The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

The threat to shut X in the UK is a threat to the whole far right ecosystem.

They're going to throw everything at stopping it because they know it would cause them almost irreparable damage.

That's not the case for more moderate voices on left and right who have choices..

Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT.

Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Vikings began settling Greenland around 980 CE - roughly 20 years before they reached North America.

Maybe Denmark should lay claim to the USA and go full Mouse that Roared.
