The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Another photo from this morning showing that very eerie sky. Taken at the base of Glastonbury Tor. I am so glad lots of other people have mentioned they saw the vivid colour as well or I'd think I had imagined it.

I don't think I have ever seen such an intense flash of colour appear so quickly and disappear again as quickly. I really didn't see it coming as it was raining and grey on my walk so this was the best I could get. Photo taken this morning at the base of Glastonbury Tor.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
