Thoughtful chap, increasingly bemused by the society surrounding him. Happily married, Humanist, dogfather, grandparent, home cook, and appreciator of all things progressive. Remains optimistic about humanity, despite the best efforts of populists.

We reap what we sow, despite a lot of folks warning that this was what was going to happen...

So, now we know...

"The Russian word Krasnov (Краснов) translates to "Krasnov" in English. It is a Russian family name that comes from the word krasota, which is a diminutive of krasa meaning "beauty". The feminine form of the name is Krasnova."

Seems clear that the Waitrose edition of the Daily Mail has taken a side. Farewell, Pax Americana.

A song for our times, a song for the populists of the world and for the people who blindly enable them.

We reap what we sow.

Adam's Broadside, ahead of a pub lunch, after a long muddy trudge with the dogs. There are few things finer.

The roses are dead
They got put in a vase
They cost a damn fortune

Just wondering whether Trump and Putin will be meeting in Munich... They could call the meeting the Chamberlain accords. 🙄

Another day, another cavalcade of WTF from the Tumeric Tyrant / Mango Mussolini and his coterie of psychopaths. I always thought that the end of civilisation as we know it would involve more explosions and flames, but there is still time, I guess?

Prejudice is the emotional commitment to ignorance, Nathan Rutstein.

Words to think about today.

Since being diagnosed with cancer, I've gone right off fatty meat. Now, I'm not gonna call myself a vegetarian or vegan, but I'm really enjoying eating fewer dead things. Cheers!

Botulism, n. The poisonous consequences of allowing too many bots to infiltrate social media discourse, with the intent of achieving polarisation on a pre-defined, pseudoscientific spectrum.

Somehow, I don't think these convictions will see riots on the streets or indeed, much in the way of comment from Tommy Ten Names, Nigel Farage, Elon Musky or even the Mango Mussolini.

Nigel Farage's inauguration party was sponsored by Arron Banks & the "New Federal State of China". That's an organisation set up Steve Bannon & Guo Wengui that considers itself "the Chinese government in exile".

Nope, nothing to see here.

I’m sure the Sunday papers will be doing massive write throughs on the amazing story of how a Royal and a minister forced Murdoch empire to admit widespread Sun criminal activity. I mean look how the dailies covered it next day!! All in this together! So they bury it. Mail still in firing line 2026

Today we visited my namesake's house in Harwich, UK. Without whom we would most likely not have Turkey for Christmas, or Thanksgiving at all, and America would barely be the same place... has anyone got a time machine I can borrow?

Well, today's the day when America's recurrence of malignant neoplasm is rethroned. I fear that this will affect us all. But, I'm certainly not going to be boosting his viewing figures today.
