Thought this might ring a bell with you John Harvey/Charlie Resnisk fans. From Living Proof. The best crime fiction.
Flew to Aswan this morning and saw the Temple at Philae, moved (95 structures!) from one island to another because of flooding issuing from the Aswan Dam.

In case you missed this perhaps average—yet remarkable—man speaking truth to power.
He is magnificent.
Yeah, lets share this again.
Imagine the anger for crowds like this to come out and protest against the pedophile führer and his fascist authoritarian regime when the temperature in Minneapolis, Minnesota is below ZERO. 😳👇
This writing from our friend @stevesawyer12.bsky.social is about campaigning in poetry, and why having policy plans are unpersuasive. It’s just first rate, and well, read and see for yourselves.
