Somehow people like this are still listened to.

Morning.

#OnThisDay in 1968, Eartha Kitt Goes to Washington and causes a stir when she speaks out against the Vietnam War at a luncheon given by Lady Bird Johnson. Despite the backlash, many Americans supported Kitt’s stance.

Things are looking up. I've got some greenshield stamps for you. God. Bless you.

Carole Cadwalladr, "But trying to suck up to Trump.. Totally disastrous deals with Silicon Valley companies in which we're bringing their software into the critical functions of how the UK state operates" "We have put ourselves in a vassal of complete surrender"

Best one I've seen yet...

A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats. "The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said. “Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

Nothing says Board of Peace more than a man who launched an illegal war based on lies.

Palantir have a 'strategic partnership' with the UK government and military.

Who among us hasn't sold stolen oil and stashed the profits in a bank in the country that bailed out our son-in-law's building at 666 Fifth Avenue?

The Liver Birds - Look Before You Leap (14th January 1971). Derek Fowlds' matching tie and shirt are the stars of this episode.

When the interior ministry declares its militia to be above the law in terms that equate dissent with treason there really isn’t any question of whether or not we are looking at an authoritarian regime.

🔴Protesters With Palestine Action Placards Handed £100 Fines Rather Than Face Prosecution The levies, which are the equivalent of a parking fine, reveal the ridiculousness of attempts to prevent protesters from supporting the proscribed group, say campaigners bylinetimes.com/2026/01/14/p...

Seeing stuff like this is SO FUCKING INFURIATING. Because we TOLD YOU. We FUCKING TOLD YOU. But no, you were tired of experts, and wanted to ride the fucking Brexit Unicorn to extra sovereignty or racism or whatever it was you wanted. Goatfuckers, the lot of you*. *Telegraph readers.

In the 1950 film, 'Harvey', the giant talking rabbit only James Stewart can see, refers to himself as a Pookah, the Irish name for a sprite. The Pwca Trwyn was a Welsh example. Usually invisible, he would talk to the household from the (unlit) oven, making fun of the kitchen maids. #WyrdWednesday

Lee Friedlander, From the Series The Little Screens, 1962 - 1969

"[Farage's] presence felt like constant noise. The persona he had adopted was destructive and intolerant of anything non-British. He wasn’t very good at anything – no great orator, charismatic, or engaging. Being vitriolic was the only way he’d get noticed." So, he was then *exactly* who he is now.

Monday #FilmNoir Sunset Boulevard (1950)

‘Trump should say he is trying to liberate the Greenlandic Inuit from the Danes… if there’s one thing America hates, it’s invaders co-opting the land of Indigenous people’ Nakedly imperialist oil wars just ain’t what they used to be! Stewart Lee’s latest for the Nerve 🔗⬇️

Man, as a Canadian observer, Im tired FOR you, Americans. Its crazy how America has fallen so much in one year and how far it keeps falling while there seems to be no legal method known to stop it and the Justice system is so slow it forgot Elon looted the Treasury already. Incredible.

We used to bring therapy dogs into the secure mental health unit I worked in and took patients out to a wolf sanctuary. The effect these animals have on people is revelatory and as, if not more, effective than traditional treatments. And also, if falconry is helping SEND kids, who gives a fuck?
