- This ‘the Stranger’s case’ should be projected - on repeat - onto the White House, the State Capitol and, sadly, our own Houses of Parliament. Though again, sadly, those ears that could understand the words would pretend deafness while to Trump & his coterie it would be unintelligible gibberish.
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by Anthony DornanThere is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦
- "Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse."
- I feel so impotent watching what is going on but thought ‘Yeah - I could buy a book from this actual legend’. Except I can’t. Either because I’m in the UK or because his site is overwhelmed. But have to say his bookstore dreamhavenbooks.com looks AWESOME. I would’ve lived there when I was a kid.
- Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

- Wow. What a maroon.
- Reposted by Anthony DornanAs great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.
- Canada’s Path. 🇨🇦
- Also - why is Mexico not being targeted? What’s different (in Trump’s mind) between the populations of Greenland, Canada and Mexico?
- This AI image posted by Trump features not just Greenland covered in a US flag but also Canada. 🇨🇦 Trump is a lunatic.
- Hard to describe this thread - an unbelievably compelling antithesis of the movie Speed is the best I’ve got. I’m really hoping we get some further updates from the fallout for this.
- A deranged narcissistic petulant child … who clearly is an idiot. America - you must be so proud.

- Reposted by Anthony DornanIt’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

- Just checking - so the first image IS insurrection but the second image ISN’T? Asking for a confused Europe.
- A phenomenal body of work on its own &, while it’s not necessary to read forerunner ms to understand the follow up, I think the work is more complete contextually if you read them as a pair.

- News from the frontline : have alerted the Protein people in our School of Molecular Biosciences that it may be safe to return to their lab spaces. Sadly the RNA research teams must remain in hiding.
- This may be a peculiarity of Scotland, but for eco friendly firewood I can't recommend old whisky barrels enough. They burn well & cleanly - have a lovely aroma (fermenting raspberries according to my daughters) - & you have the added bonus of playing a giant game of Jenga when they're delivered.
- For the Americans out there (& Alannis Morrisette) this is known as ‘Irony’.
- But … you’re a demented narcissistic lunatic … so… no restraint then?
- Aside from all the other damning evidence - the ICE agent is clearly drawing his gun long before the victim in the car attempts to drive away. Which I would argue indicates intent prior to lethal action.
- This is incredibly well done, and totally damning. Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

- Sadly on Dec 30th we said goodbye to Teddy our 12 yr old rescue greyhound. We selfishly kept him with us for 1 last Xmas. He was a beautiful sweet gentle dog that in the 8+ years he was a part of our family made our lives a better happier place. He was my constant companion & I miss him terribly.
