The point of view of the pariah state, where justice has been converted into a racist expedition and/or a personalised vendetta to protect an aged pedophile who now has a predilection for strong men! Kinky.

Watching Frankenstein and increasingly concerned that Elon Musk shouldn't see it in case he misses Mary Shelley's point and tries to go one better - his current infatuation with Optimus may just be the training ground for the fleshy versions

Just realized - after all these years - there's nothing 'science' about 'science fiction' - it was always a propaganda term?
Why wasn't it just called future fiction or fantasy fiction or... fiction?

“to distinguish real (ICE) operations from fakes”.
Hmmm, maybe ban masks, display badges, use warrants, and employ due process rather than abduct people into unmarked cars.
It’s easy for criminals to impersonate ICE since ICE act like criminals.

I saw this over in Scotland on MSNBC and I have to say that if Trump (somehow) goes for 2028 then you would crush his fat demented ass. If it comes to it, please say you will.
It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor.

On this hill (just behind our house on Skye) Celts marked Samhain 2,000 years ago. If you still call it Halloween you need to update your references. Halloween is the discredited psyops which attempted to erase Celtic culture by dumping a Christian festival on top of a more ancient epistemology.

Many years ago the powers in Port Antonia locked me up for a trivial amount of spliff and fined me more than the legal code permitted as retribution against a 'westerner'. But that's all bygones, today my (trivial) thoughts and prayers are with all of Jamaica. Hoping all the best for the other side.
