The real Gem and Molly, adopted separately, were good pals together and good fun. Both gone some time ago. Their photos are on the wall (the Rogues Gallery) so I can smile at them every day.

A key part of the backlash to ending the two child limit is the idea parents won’t actually spend the extra money on their kids. Why not give them vouchers for food and clothes instead? critics ask.
Because it’s paternalistic classism that believes being poor means you’re a bad parent.

That a Reform politician (Farage’s mate Gill) was in the pay of Russia is no surprise.
What is a surprise is that he betrayed our country so cheaply, for £40k.

In the long history of American oligarchs and corporate heads kowtowing to foreign dictators, there's really never been anything like last week's state dinner honoring MBS.
The sheer number, the sheer amount of corporate power, was unlike anything before.

According to Politico, the US insists a peace deal must come first before any talks on long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. Senator Marco Rubio has reportedly told European partners that Trump is open to future security discussions, but only after an agreement to end the war is signed.

According to the study, “Life expectancy in Gaza fell by 44 percent in 2023 and by 47 percent in 2024 compared with what it would have been without the war — equivalent to losses of 34.4 and 36.4 years, respectively.”

I'm okay — but I want to hear how you're doing. Please let me know in the comments.

1/5 It was entirely predictable that The Telegraph would jump on @DavidOlusoga’s Empire series to fight its right wing culture war for control of our public history. Let’s see what they’ve done:

Every single American should be concerned with the rapid increase of mass surveillance under ICE. It will not go away when they feel they’ve accomplished their mission of getting rid of all the non-white people.

Great Blue Heron. This GBH landed about 10' from me. I was obscured by reeds and he did not see me. Taken in Arizona.

How is it that we already know so much about the guy who shot 2 national guardsmen this afternoon but we know pretty much nothing about the two guys who tried to assassinate the president months ago?

Don't fall for it. Trump has been waiting for an excuse for a military dictatorship.
It took only a few hours for President Donald Trump to turn what he called “an act of evil, and an act of terror” into a full-blown argument for an even more intense crackdown on immigration.

The negative reaction from our right wing media + newspapers to a budget that was carefully planned + implemented to help Britain recover from 14 years of austerity and Tory mess while asking for money in a fair way from people in this country is laughable. So obviously biased against a Labour Govt.

I just wish President Trump would support America’s allies and oppose America’s enemies.
I really don’t think that is an unreasonable wish. It’s very much in America’s interest, after all.
