Everyone in this screenshot is childish, inadequate, & ridiculous.
We need serious, responsible politics back.
Yes, that rules out trolling, racism, & populism. Embarrassing.

Good comedy is not just good jokes, it’s also good presentation. Humour, sarcasm, banter are regularly misunderstood on social media, because we can't see or hear the author. We miss the presentation that not only makes it funny, but also makes it clear.

Metz had never been to Belém before.
Nevertheless, a week later, he said this 🔽 at a trade congress in Germany, & now the Brazilians are rightly offended.
Locals & TV reports accuse him of arrogance, racism, & delusion of grandeur.

Dinner:
Grilled chicken sandwich.
Home baked roll, cucumber & tomato slices, home grown cress sprouts, homemade ketchup, some mayo, and grilled organic chicken.
Had to have a bite.
Sorry not sorry.

It's a badly chosen photo. The perspective is awkward. Biden is behind Donald Trump. Trump moves on, then Barron shakes Biden's hand. Hang on.

Little things like these make me chuckle:
Just walked past a car parked under a tree and all the fallen leaves had landed upside down with their stems pointing up.
You probably had to be there. 🤭

The wilful creation of a 'migrant crisis' is irresponsible & worthy of Reform. The immigrant share of asylum seekers in the UK is 5% but nobody realises as govt & Tories paint it like the invasion Farage once postered. We're a dual national family & shan't return to this racism. Labour has lost it.

"Moral injury is the feeling we get when our core values are betrayed by people we once trusted." I never knew there's a term for our collective reaction to this time. Nor that there's a relief: "one of the best medicines ... is finding our people."
