The senile Felon I'm Chief may be an evil man. Unfortunately evil men do not act or get to leadership positions without legions of other people behind them. It may be convenient to blame the wotsit, but US folks need to remember every advisor and supporter is as much to blame here. It's systemic.

On the Hall of Shame today we have @BBC and @BAFTA Both organisations moved quickly to apologise for the broadcast of an involuntary tic, but not for the public misunderstanding, stigma, or harm that followed.

I'm trying to rebuild my personal website. There's poetry, thoughts on gaming, Theatre, and a blog over there. Today's post is a poem: martintheactor.co.uk/the-wonders-...

...and showing that business owners are ignorant to realities this news piece. Schools and the NHS do not have the money to hire all these folks. That's before we even account for the fact that these jobs are vocations. Not everyone is suited to them. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

And that's all after the months of waiting, being put on hold, having to answer every unknown number so that you get the date of an assessment that you can't reschedule and are punished if you can't make. The waiting pushes people into a survival state, which deepens depression and anxiety responses

Given how corrupt FIFA is known to be I doubt it'll happen, but it does go without saying the world cup should be moved to a different host nation or cancelled until a new nation can be prepared.

What I wish US folks would do is abolish the idea that their politicians need such levels of security. ICE reportedly is to provide security to US 'diplomats'. Well, those people are just people. A country's leader shouldn't need a motorcade or armed goons. Not if they are of the people.

My one issue with the fun and engaging @jetlagthegame.bsky.social latest series - starting the game in London was a poor production choice. Manchester would've opened up a bigger chance of seeing episodes outside of England as it's closer to the geographic centre of the UKs four nations.

15 years ago, with writers far more talented than I, a book was created and published. Reading it on the train today...I'm so very proud of this little book wot I published. I'm also so very glad that these poets allowed my work to be seen alongside their skilled work.

My health seems to have nosedived again, but there have been some lovely harvests from the garden.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

A walk around the garden today

Nothing quite like sitting in my #veggarden with a cup of tea. #gardentherapy

Good afternoon from my #veggarden.

Please take a moment to sign this petition: ‘Protect Disabled people who cannot work from planned cuts to benefits’. Thank you so much: tinyurl.com/5erjajtv #WelfareNotWarfare

Hardening off the seedlings starts today, plus what is already started off in the garden is looking good. #veggarden #gardentherapy #homegrownveg

I was impatient, so here's the first harvest of 2025! #veggarden #gardentherapy #homegrownveg

The garden this morning. #vegetablegarden #homegrownveg #gardentherapy #gardening

It survived the harsh winter, and very soon my patience will pay off as I enjoy the first home grown broccoli of the year. Yum! 😋 #homegrownveggies #gardentherapy #veggardening

Spring really is in the air and my first seedlings appear to be doing well. #gardentherapy #veggarden #homegrownveggies
