UK - still offended by Brexit
Excited by the positive potential of AI - wary of the downside.
Marvel at and believe in boundless human ability and shudder at pathetic, merciless leaders destroying the world.

Good news. If sequel is as compelling as Baby’s Breath (and I suspect will be) then I might even buy it before the “offers” roll by. #FallenFeathers #BabysBreath
To celebrate [ shamelessly promote ] the sequel to Baby's Breath, the first book is now £1.99 on kindle.
Amazon reviews:
"Brilliant from the first page."
"Sensational… an absolute rollercoaster"
"Unputdownable"

Rational and decisive leadership from Carney.
Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

A neat 30 seconds summation of Trump. To summarise the harm that the man has unleashed on the world by taking each of Polanski’s points one by one, would shame the politicians and parties who lead us “diplomatically” into such existential peril. #GreenTruths #TrumpLies
Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"
"This is sociopathic behaviour"
"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"
"I'm not a fan of Trump"

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

We see something similar in the UK.
Most benefits go to people IN WORK.
Because there are not enough properly paid jobs.
Rather than insisting employers pay decent wages, governments use taxpayers’ money to subsidise employers who don’t.
Welfare was not meant to support employers.
This is wrong

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
