For the first time I'm almost glad I can't vote in UK despite living here. Obviously I would vote to stop Reform but with FPTP the choices are dire. Labour, what the fuck are you doing?
How have Labour watched the Tories spend 2-3 years parroting Farage then lose an election badly and conclude a similar strategy is the best course of action?
I. Really. Genuinely. Do Not. Get. It.

As a Scandinavian, I humbly ask Americans to once and for all learn the bloody difference between Social democracy and Communism.

Long discussion with my sis in Sweden. After the usual chitchat about family and weather, she swiftly changed to American politics. I can't recall ever discussing American politics her before. I can't recall her knowing the name of the White House press secretary. To put it mildly, she's not a fan.

When Trump won the presidency a year ago, I was depressed for a weak. Tried telling myself, get a grip, you're not American, you don't live in the US. It didn't work, I had this ominous feeling of danger that the orange lunatic would plunge us into WWIII, either by design or plain stupidity.

My mother loved toads, I'm not entirely sure why. She loved them so much she would pick them up and drop them off in the most unexpected places. In my bed when I was asleep, a somewhat alarming experience. On a buffet table sending drinks flying. She would have loved the dancing frogs of Portland.

I love Portland which is peculiar since I've never even been there.

I've always found it peculiar why rightwing politicians and their supporters are so obsessed with other people's sexlife.

Comfort food and childhood memories. Beef Stroganoff à la Marianne (Marianne was my mum). I won't disturb it for a while, just let it simmer for a couple of hours. Meanwhile, I'm pouring myself a glass of wine.

I'm not a political analyst and it would be ridiculous to pretend otherwise. At this point in time, all I care about is keeping the Russia sponsored Reform party out of power. Just like in the US, media appear infatuated with the hard right, conveniently ignoring their links with Putin.

Many symbols have been used in the fight against fascism. The inflatable frog is a novel addition. What better way to fight despair than amusement and laughter.
The inflatable frog has gone global. Today’s #NoKings #NoTyrants rallies in Japan, Australia, Spain, and Germany.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.
Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Begs the question, why is it so important to award the Toddler in Chief the Nobel Peace Prize? A prize awarded by some Social Democrats somewhere in the far away North. Aren't they supposed to be the enemy? Those bloody Vikings, they're Marxist, Communist, woke Antifa the whole lot of them.
Larry Kudlow to Sen. Eric Schmitt: "You and I should get on a plane, go to Davos or go to the UN or go to the Democratic Socialists who make these Nobel Prize decisions -- I think they'd rather shoot themselves than give him the Peace Prize. He deserves the Peace Prize."

I've been doing a daily morning workout in a desperate attempt to find my long-lost waistline. It's still nowhere to be found. My legs seem happy though.
