Ok. Seen this a number of times. It's grim. She is a victim of male abuse who funds rape crisis centres, he is a perpetrator of male abuse who rapes women. This is a shameful, shameful comparison.

Is Trump abandoning a campaign promise after only 3 months?
While the world is in turmoil and Putin is still allowed to kill innocent people there is no moving on.
Biden wasn’t afraid of Putin.
Trump is a weak ineffectual man baby.

Wait, I know this one! The German car companies will force their government to make a deal, right?
‘In a briefing earlier Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, "Americans do not need other countries as much as other countries need us."’

There are a lot of other countries. The US can’t even make Coca-Cola without them. Probably not even the dyes for the US flag.

Here’s a song about #Signalgate – the flamboyant US security breach – adapted from one of our all-time fave Bee Gees songs, titled “You Were Not Supposed to Message it Through!”

A quick turnaround, but only 5 of us as Alfie (really our best fake Bee Gee) is away 🔥👊💪🙏🎶

Tump and Putin are already talking about ‘dividing up certain assets.’

Those would be Ukrainian assets. A bit like discussing which stolen items a housebreaker gets to keep to stop him ransacking the place in the future.

To anyone ever in Bath in the UK, I highly recommend visiting the Herschel museum!

It's pretty incredible that the first planet ever discovered with a telescope was found at a pretty unassuming townhouse in a Georgian-era vacation town... 🔭 #astrohistory
@bathastronomers.org.uk accompanied the @herschelmuseum.bsky.social on Thu 13th Mar to celebrate 244th anniversary of the discovery of Uranus from the garden at 19 New King Street. A sold out night with visitors looking up from that same place to giggle as everyone pronounced Uranus carefully.
