Beyond bonkers that Palestine Action was even proscribed and placed on the same terrorist list as Islamic State, Al Qaeda et al in the first place. Shame on the UK government for trampling over rights to protest and freedom of speech. A government that is in bed with the government of israel

Been using an app to “brick” my phone and it’s like hitting the “Disconnect” button on the dial-up modem back in the 90s/early 2000s. My head feels clearer and I’m definitely more present. Anyway, going to brick the phone once again.

Entry level graduate summarising a project report.
Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.
