‘If life has a horizon, what are its meteorites?’, asked Badger knowingly.

Hopper’s windows often reflect the individual’s strength whilst hinting at their vulnerability. Imagine being at such a window.

Thingin’. Lee Konitz and his take on #ATTYA. In traditional Ab until the 17th bar then modulates to the unusual D until the close. Odd jazz ;) #Jazzsky music.apple.com/fr/album/thi...

ICE goons smell blood now. The smell of immunity.

Although already a young NCO, serving with these men was like graduating to big school.

Whilst at Sussex uni I worked as a kitchen porter in Hove casino. Very hard work. You have to make sure the waitresses always have sufficient clean crockery and the chef their pots and pans scrubbed. I enjoyed it. Worked very hard. Got on with the waitresses and the chef. It’s fast, non-stop work.

Looks a bit sinister but we’re making vegan kefir. Currently fermenting. Kefir play seeds.As much again of brown sugar. Whole bio fig and lemon slices. Apparently it has health benefits in the digestive tract. A glass a day.

In the sense that Trump thinks current moral approbation (shown eg. to injured soldiers) is slavish not majestic. Also, his own moral outlook, such as it is, derives from a ‘nobler’ epoch where the opposite of power wasn’t evil but bad (non-normative sense). I’m not Nietzschean, still!

Is Trump Neitzschean?

Can't think what made me dig out this article. The man has no respect www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

So Starmer won’t seek a formal apology from Trump. #Aghanistan #veterans #bonespurs

At last!! Do it.

Has #Starmer taken issue with #Trump and his shameful lie that British forces and their European allies ‘were happy to stay back’ from the frontline during the #Afghanistan war. That lie must be challenged from the top.

Whilst there’s no definitive line of dominoes, Cameron’s gamble with so-called UK ‘sovereignty’ (itself an incoherent concept) has as much claim on modern geopolitical security instability as any other. Cameron, the greatest British stool pigeon since Blair, speaking of whom…

My #psychiatrist explained to me that low self-esteem is compatible with being a confident person. I thought that profound and equally helpful.

Have Trump’s wings been clipped or have we been played like a balalaika!

I’m beginning to think that several wrongs make a right after all.

During patrols phase on South Georgia my section uniformly agreed to take a clinker built whaler from the kelp harbour at Husvik to our HQ at Grytviken. Once beyond the kelp into the open sea it got really hairy and we were lucky to make it back. Good story for the Regimental journal though :)

The only point in negotiating with Trump is to give yourself time to prepare for his inevitable betrayal. Agreements with the US are meaningless, they will be broken.

Since it's such a stressful time, I thought I'd give you all a little treat: a website streaming over 4,000 public domain movies, neatly categorized. (You can thank me later.) wikiflix.toolforge.org#/

And now a choice of viewing on BBC television. Just started on BBC 2 the semifinal of episode 3 of Kierkegaard’s Journals starring Richard Chamberlain, Peggy Mount and Billy Bremner.
