Back for a little-OH very poorly and now in nursing care. Dementia is such a generous condition-complicates and exacerbates all the other issues he has. Hate to see him suffering πŸ’™ #dementia #alzheimers #infection

Off to visit OH at the hospital! Hip operation has gone well but with the dementia etc there are many issues outstanding! #dementia #falls #seniorcare #carecrisis

Three headlines from the New York Times and two from the Guardian. 
The headlines are;
1. Trump says he wants Alcatraz restored as a prison
2. Clown Donald Trump slammed for Ai-generated pope post
3. Trump 2028 hats and t shirts for sale on US President’s online store

Trump for Pope, a third term, re-opening Alcatraz.

These stories all serve a critical purpose.

To distract from the story of our age: that the President of the United States is enriching his family with billions by running a corruption racket right out of the Oval Office.

The Enigmatic Artistry of Terrence Malick The director has long shunned the spotlight, but his work conveys the force of a mighty personality. A new biography offers a rare look at his life and work.

80 years since liberation.

Many of us had family there. Many of us source our values from what happened there.

It’s not just β€˜history’ for us. We can still see the trauma generations later.

Lessons are being forgotten. Minorities are increasing demonised. We must renew the vow - Never again.

Wow, look, they all seem to have a certain look, dont they?

Maybe it's cultural.

WE NEED A NATIONAL INQUIRY ANYTHING LESS IS A COVER-UP.

I’m worried sick about patient safety as highly trained clinicians are replaced by 2yr-trained associates. Does this make me a β€œsocial media rabble”? Or is the β€œbe kind” movement being cynically weaponised? Those monitoring my posts, put this on the agenda for the meeting you’ve asked me to attend.
