Human, bit stressed

I believe Americans who believe in the trump administration have to let things go like being leaders of the free world. You can't lead countries you are pushing to be independent for their survival and as for 'free' well... comments like this halt that freedom.

Ice cracked under foot, echoing across the lake. The sound quickly lost in the encroaching fog keen to still the dying light. Gronk took another step & watched the cracks underfoot surge forwards in a jagged zig zag.'Shit' he muttered, his words hushed by the dusk. 'Language!' tutted a voice below.

Nationalise water for the simple reason it's focus should be improving infrastructure not profit.

Also trains.

The problem I have with power is it's so obviously morally corrupt (here and in the US). One small boon of such a realisation though is seeing the powerful know this - a hollow victory. The time they yearn for is gone. Us surfs do not see divinity or prodigy but selfishness.

Just a friendly reminder to be sparing with your podcasts over the next week..nobody wants to be alone with their thoughts. I've thought about it and we agree there.

If leaders are not held accountable people stop trusting leadership.

Yes you can barrel on to the next lie but people note that & start working to protect themselves (overtly or covertly).

Selfishness breeds selfishness by necessity.

Or to put it another way:

Talk enough shit and no one listens.

I'm of an age where rappers' extravagant spending is less impressive and more concerning.

Trying to decide what #Mario character I would have as a butler. Toad feels like the obvious option but that voice would grate. Thowmp was a consideration (good security & a handy bridge) but wouldn't fit in my car. Currently going with Dry Bones. I feel it's a vibe match, also an anatomical one.

Thinking about underserved nicknames: I once had 3 puddings when I was 8 and my dad still calls me 'Three puddings cowle'. I am 43.

One greatly understated boon of playing #Chibi-Robo is the significant value of being repeatedly told I'm a helpful little guy.

Trump pressure to hike UK drug prices could cost NHS billions.

Corporate profits will increase. NHS budget will buy less. People to pay higher taxes or face public service cuts.

To avoid bullying UK Govt must produce cheaper generic drugs.

The worst part of living in 2025 is realising that, in terms of success, perfecting one's 'personal brand' trumps actual competence.

It's not worth attempting an eloquent tweet to dissuade people on #Farage. If you count yourself as a patriot & love him spend time thinking about if you should back a man willing to fund people who killed us, wants you to have less basic human rights and tells the US we're a shit show.

Tesla boss Elon Musk will receive $1tn (£740bn) pay package if he hits targets.

Already the richest man in the world.

Used his wealth to support Trump. Wants to fund Farage and create the same mess in the UK.

Classic example of how the rich buy power.

#Immigrants have not crippled our #NHS. Lack of funding has. Tax the billionaires. Stop our politicians being funded and paid by them.

I am more scared of Elon Musk than a starving family. You should be too. Consider who has power, and influence, over your life.
