Board of Peace - Season 1

Do you hear me whisper your name?
Do my words twist your sheets?
Do pillows slip from their slips?
Does the quilt fight your feet ?

Do you whisper my name?
I hear a hushed cry for help?
‘Please come to me now
This bed won’t make itself’

The Negative Teens sounds like a cool band name but it’s also our air temperature in the Twin Cities (without wind factored in) for the next 48 hours or so.

Soon we will go back there
Back to the wild sensible
On the edge of our young world.
Winding lanes
Thorns of fruit
Evening drizzle mists the hedgerow.
Remember?
When the curtsying sun submitted her tiara of cobwebs.
You said,
‘Such a grand entrance to an empty house’.

Let’s unmoor this covered bridge
And ride the rapids.
Down stream, Down Stream,
The exhilaration of the fall
The joy of landing
The mouth of the river
The body of the ocean
Our Ark.
Loosen that bolt, Saw that brace.
It’s enough to begin.

Or we could play pooh sticks?

For non-German speakers:

“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”
Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Truth.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Amazing .
#Helsinki achieved zero road deaths in a year—without autonomous vehicles on its streets.

They did it through road diets, car-free zones, and 30 km/h speed limits.

Not by flooding the streets with robotaxis. (Waymo isn't allowed in #Finland.)

To really save lives...

Shutting down X is no longer a matter of free speech. It is a matter of child protection.

Tommy Robinson's Christmas Carol service featured two arrests - one for assault and another of a man suspected of homophobic abuse.

And loads of union flags and massive crosses... because that's traditional at the events where we celebrate Christ's BIRTH, isn't it. Crosses and flags.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

We can’t afford to do what every other country did years ago for our railways, but people need to drive their kids to school in a tank
Govt scraps all electrification investment. Midland Main Line to stay forever diesel Leicester Nottingham Derby Sheffield. Hugely embarrassing and inexplicable

UK transport secretary says full electrification of railways ‘not affordable right now’
Heidi Alexander says focus will be on other projects such as HS2

"The cost, they say (tech oligarchs) for #AI is EVERYTHING that EVERYONE has ever OWNED. All of our data, all of our intellectual property, all of our land, water, energy.

Once you realize that's their framing, it doesn't sound like a good bargain at all."
