Today... Terry resisted Doug's invite for a pint. The bus was late & then stuck in traffic. He got off to walk the 3 miles but bumped into Doug & ended up in the pub. Hurrying home he was hit by a car. In the ambulance, blood loss was too great. He was DOA. What story do you see in this picture?

I’m in Vienna right now. A city which went from being the intellectual and cultural capital of the world to a “provincial backwater” (to quote Brian Barry) in a couple of decades due to nationalism, anti-semitism and fascism which drove away the leading scholars and artists it didn’t murder.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

I'm starting to feel there should be a new, very 21st century illness, that I'd simply call 'internet poisoning'.

Special thanks to all the worms in politics and media who tried to sell us “universally beloved saint Charlie Kirk” over the last few days. Sorry you failed but 1) not nearly as many people know him as you thought / hoped 2) he was deeply racist, like on a KKK level, and that’s kinda off-putting

Today... Barry's wife had had enough of his anguish about the Lucan case. Now he was terminally ill, the time was long gone for him to write a memoir, but he insisted he had to. She left him & flew to Australia to be with her son, & the 18 year old grand son she'd never met. #writingprompt
