I find it really hard to rationalise the hatred, bile and blind faith in a cult leader currently being demonstrated by many Americans with the fact that all the Americans I know are the loveliest most generous people I know. How can a country be so utterly divided?
I did the degree that seemed to make more sense than the one I wanted and ended up in work I hated. Should have studied art and been a possibly poor, but happy artist. My daughter is currently studying illustration, she'll find her way doing something she loves and excels at
Japan is teaching us the lesson that without serious levels of inward migration weβre going to be in deep trouble www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10...
The problem being that the people who love the idea of cutting/stopping migration think "we can train our own" is a powerful magic spell. There's no way to get through to them.
Cheers. Being from a country where I rarely see a gun I did wonder what it was beyond it looking like a fancy paintball thing.
BARONESS Mone, complaining about "The Establishment". We are so through the looking glass at this point. What's next, King Charles complaining about the Elites?
Great show. I was too late to phone in, listening about 45 min behind but it really hit regarding the recent rise in racism. My daughter is now experiencing things I thought we had left behind a long time ago.
I'm all for it but it's taken far, far too long. Like Starmer just came out of a daydream and was like "hang on a minute, they are doing a racism!"
They will simply attack the BBC for some crime of "woke" to deflect.
The absolutely ridiculous response to this in the media and from Reform suggests they really didn't expect the pushback. Their entire strategy seems to have been to let labour continue to try and fail to appeal to Reform voters, allowing Reform to push further extremes.
Patriots really are the worst at being patriotic
Pip is rebooting
I think I'm going to also. I tried once before and struggled getting used to this place. Also worried about the echo chamber thing. There's just nothing positive about that place now though and with the few accounts I interact with leaving maybe it's time.
At least he signed it
Beautiful old place to stop for a minute. Dramatic skies though.

Lunatic, frothing at the mouth Twitter getting to the real concerns of people I see.
Daughter now working on an artist study in acrylics. She puts so much effort into her art, I'm glad I encouraged both of them to study what they enjoyed.
I really don't miss the midnight panic of realising everyone else had gone to bed and left me with yet another last minute craft project.
This is the correct response to discovering this abomination. It is the death of Christmas joy, once you start it cannot be stopped. You might think you are creative but by the fourth year or so you will be ready to torch the thing.
Indeed, my older daughter took biology and art at A-level and it's still an influence on her art. She's now started an illustration degree.
I keep popping back just to have a look. My feed is grim, just relentless hate.
I'm struggling with the words "tea" and "friend" in this post
It varies a little depending on who manages your domain, but it's really no harder than copying and pasting some text.
Definitely worth doing. It doesn't cost anything other than the time of some nerd to login and add a record to the domain.
I am my own nerd, as can be seen by my shiny domain handle.
Almost all the memory techniques for learning big random lists involve creating a narrative and attaching mental images to the listed items. We are naturally drawn to stories and emotion and obviously store stuff better that way. Also brains are weird.
