Runner, acoustic music, film, gardens…Would add emojis, but afraid I’d get it wrong and there would be some weird youth subtext to them. I’m dyslexic. Visual tracking issues mean I sometimes leave words out. There will be typos. Canadian in the U.K.

Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.

Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.
Just a reminder...
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity

❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
A man and woman have been arrested after NHS nurse Apple Moorhouse was attacked in Halifax park. The couple asked if she “came here on a rubber boat” before performing Nazi salutes and assaulting her. Both remain in custody. #Halifax
What do Jenrick, Farage, Goodwin, the Telegraph etc think will be the consequences of their actions? And what does Starmer think will be the consequence of his inaction?

Was going to ask, if Giuliani was wearing pants at the time...but stopped myself.
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
My guess is, the Depraved Moran Poobah of the United States has had a non-golf related stroke. #Trump
My theory is a non-golfing stroke.
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Young people, you'll know you're getting old when people tell you how well you look; not 'great, sexy, wonderful'...just 'well'.
When you send a load of texts, and wait for responses, only to notice that most people aren't awake at 5.00 am.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
The American way of people keeping their job title long after they leave the job is strange. If we did the same in the UK, I'd be Milk Monitor Smith.
Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.

Well this alone should be enough to keep ICE out. They would be like a hoodless Klan.

The Trump plan for Gaza includes the relocation of the entire population - 2 million people - a US “trusteeship” and the creation of a tourism and tech hub. Landowners get digital tokens worth $5,000 and rent subsidies. Investors are promised 4x return on $100 billion.

Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it. This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
You'll find they're all in Canada!
We’ve been lied to our whole lives. The maps we grew up with shrink Africa down, making it look so much smaller than it really is. The truth: Africa is massive. You can fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside it—and still have room left over.
Can you imagine how long the line’s gonna be to take a piss on that grave
Appropriate mausoleum I reckon
We really need to talk to our friends about the causes of Farage (and Rupert Lowe)

This sounds exactly like what Jim Jones said before he told everyone to return to their tents and drink the Kool-Aid. #ItsACult #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Trump has fired fired the top US Military officers. All of them. How come?
My OH is reading the Radiotimes and moaning about what's in it. He's reading about the 'Great British Sewing Bee', "Which famous sewer will measure up to impress the judges?" "Surely, that's Crossness Pumping Station".
As our neighbors vanish daily, this serves as a meaningful way to honor them and highlight the extent of this issue throughout the city’s

Conversations are more depressing. People are so gullible.
The ubiquitous red daubs on mini roundabouts are pathetic and ridiculous but fuck me they also make me depressed about the state of the nation

Okay, can we all agree, that he's *mostly* dead?
We have a music session this afternoon. This session began, and continued, in an orchard. The Whatsapp debate is whether or not we have it inside, as the forecast is mixed. Just when we resolve it, 1 git jumps in with metoffice screen shots, etc and we go round again.
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
There should be awards that are the opposite of the Nobel prizes. You get a trophy and a huge bill to pay. World Asshole Awards or some such.

I am worried, as I keep running into normal people, who spout the far right mantras.
Have tickets for BBC Any Questions and thinking my ? might be: Has Farage weaponised British xenophobia and are the British media accomplices? After all, 'man with dog' doesn't sell like 'man with wolf whistle'.
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
Oh
