Although Sara Mortenson is superb as Astrid, I prefer the #neurodivergent character, Patience. Her more muted portrayal better represents the difficulties I have encountered with people's reactions - and lack of tolerance. In many ways watching her is like watching myself. I shall watch both and expect to learn more about me v the world.

Mark Suckerberg, 39, the billionaire founder of the internet is undergoing gender realignment surgery in the hope that it will lessen his desire to be a miserable fascist and will reintroduce fact-checking on his social media sites.

I commend this essay to you. A concise and chilling assessment of the dreadful state we are all in and the responsibility that should be borne by the wealthy and the technocrats, those unaffected by the policies that are ruining our lives.

At last. I have found a way to get back the internet I remember where a Google search shows a simple list of results. No ads. No AI bullshit. No enshittification at all.
These heroes have got simple instructions to create a new default search engine. Not limited to Google.
Or, if you want to keep it simple, click the WEB tab on the Google search page

I didn’t realise the lies we have been told about American history. In relation to the Civil War and to slavery. African-Americans are still suffering from wrongs introduced by the very people who are today revered as emancipators and how slavery is still very much alive after the 13th Amendment abolished slavery except as punishment for a crime which was a sop to those states who continued the practice.

An autistic man’s wife tells him to go to the store and 'buy a loaf of bread, if they have eggs, buy a dozen.'
He comes home with 12 loaves of bread and says, 'They had eggs.’

This out of focus picture is of two Israelis looking with binoculars across the country from a high point. A metal telescope on a stand is visible. These people are watching the killing of the Gaza people and the destruction of their homeland from a viewing platform overlooking Gaza, a popular day out and often used for school trips.
Ghoulish and despicable behaviour illustrating the depth of the hatred of Palestinians and delight in their suffering that permeates Israel.

“Never again” the cry goes up from Jews.
“Never again” the cry goes up from Israel … as they mercilessly imprison, bomb, murder and starve an entire generation of Palestinians.

I used to know a guy in AA in Houston who was a wonderful story teller. One of my favourites: When I woke up this morning it was 10 below. I went out and the car wouldn't start. Battery completely dead. So I went back inside, knelt by the fire and I prayed. When I went back outside half an hour later and tried the car what do you think happened?
No, it didn't start. Prayer doesn't work on cars. It works on me.
Prompted by @xinicit celebrating 15 years sober in Houston.

Thank you, Cape Town, for renewing my liking for South Africa. The home of my southernmost follower (@Zumbador ) has restored my faith after awful experiences in Joburg last time out. Had three delightful days there and met some amazing people, got to meet some fantastic animals too -- the highlight of our cruise down the West African coast, with a special mention for the people in Togo and Côte d'Ivoire.

Here's a story you won't hear often. We arrived at Cape Town airport as boarding opened and went straight to the counter. Where we waited for an hour because of a "problem with our status" - couldn't be checked in. Finally thought I would try to check in online (one of thefew times I haven't). And succeeded. I showed my phone screen to the man at the counter who glanced down and saw our status had changed. I then got delayed checking in more couples on line who were having the same problem

[#]Israel has dropped over 80,000 tons of bombs on #Gaza in 12 months, which is four times as many as the German Nazis dropped on London in 5 years.
To put this in perspective, Israel dropping 225 tons per sq km in Gaza, equates roughly to them dropping 20 tons of bombs on every single dwelling across the whole of Gaza.
20 tons FFS! This isn’t war. It’s genocide.

Getting an alternative perspective on the #Israeli destruction of its neighbour states (as opposed to “defending itself” is made easier by writings from a #Palestine or Lebanon perspective. I commend @ayoub to you

My favourite take on #Sunak and #Elections is by Ian Dunt (inews):
Sunak outlined his election stategy — to vote for him and him alone, as the only leader with a plan. Standing outside in the rain without an umbrella and getting soaked — a perfect example of a man who hasn’t planned at all.

I didn't think I could get even more angry about #Israelis who support the massacre being carried out in #gaza
Then I saw pictures of Israelis blocking the transport of food and medical provisions to Gaza and trashing the cargo.
These people are disgusting. Probably worse than the Israeli government systematically killing the Palestinian population.
