This summer, I published a children’s book about the Stone Age with @brennawalks.bsky.social, in which we joked that the speed of archaeological discovery means our book will be instantly out of date. Well, guess what!

The new US ‘National security strategy’ spits in the eye of every day since August 1945.

Total abdication of the ‘values based world order’ for something much more chaotic, where USA seeks advantage by creating plight for others.

The USA is no longer a friend or partner. It’s all gone.
New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says
The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.

I continue to sell brooches and pins inspired by historic artworks from public collections!

Each one comes mounted in a greetings card which depicts the original artwork on the front and provides context for the art inside, and I do free first-class postage in the UK.

I actually really don't think it much matters that Farage was a racist idiot at school, really. What matters is how he a) reflects on that behaviour now, and b) what he's learned and c) done in the 40 years since.

And, well... a) Badly, b) Nothing and c) Been a fascist-enabling spiv.

The message behind “quiet, piggy” was not subtle.
I decide who speaks. I decide what truth is. I decide whose pain persists and whose gets erased. I decide what women are allowed to ask me. I decide which crimes survive and which get swallowed in smoke.

"The bloc is in danger of squandering a period of better relations between the US president and Europe" - ha. This US administration is an extorting bully that can't do better relations with anyone, but whose President will take bribes. Survival against that is the best plan.

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3
