How dare I still be breathing?! "Because I have damn well earned the right to keep on living." (David Baldacci)

That profile photo was taken by a saxophone teacher at a rehearsal in Bristol in 2009. At Colston Hall. They have meanwhile renamed it the Bristol Beacon.

Zen Buddhism teaches that it's best to accept the hurtful nature of some people. You can't change it. Neither can they. They are what they are. It's their nature.

Zen doesn't teach to be foolish, however. Zen also teaches that you should look after yourself and your health. You need food, for starters.

Society, that's a different matter. We are society. We bear individual responsibility for what happens in society. Strong and smart people bear a greater responsibility than weak people. Because being strong and smart isn't earned, but a gift to be thankful for.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the most ideologically consistent, truly America First members of Congress. She’s a Republican, she’s MAGA, and she supports Donald Trump — but she isn’t afraid to say what policy areas are working and which ones are not. To that end, she recently appeared on Tim Dillon’s podcast, and made some news by admitting that she thinks the tariffs might be getting in the way of President Trump’s agenda, by driving up costs for manufacturers.

“I’m talking to major manufacturing companies and they are saying we’re having a problem with these tariffs,” said Greene. “Has regular people’s stress come off? No. That should be the focus. It shouldn’t be helping your crypto donors. The focus should be the people that showed up at the rallies. I don’t think those people are being served.”

And it’s not just tariffs. MTG also explained why the administration’s deportation policy, if taken to an extreme, is going to hurt American businesses: “We have to do something about labor, and that needs to be a smarter plan than just rounding up every single person and deporting them.”

Can someone please pour me a good cabernet sauvignon, preferably from Chile and preferably organic?

But first, I need a hot drink.

I'm soooooooo exhausted.

These fools don't realise that the issues they blame on migrants (and remigrants?) are the result of the increasingly right-wing voting they've been doing for at least two decades!!! Argh.

In the Netherlands I've spotted this proud slogan about people who are in the exact same circumstances being treated equally. Isn't that inequality at its core? I wondered who so cleverly cooked up that slogan.

Labour needs a cleanup. Maybe Marie Kondo can help. Too much Tory clutter!

And sorrryy, YouTube keeps whining about the dimensions of screenshots.
