After seeing this post by trans identifying man Brianna Wu for the third time in 24 hours, I had to pause all other things and craft a full and proper response.

Fair warning, "Brianna":

You may want to get some ice handy, bc this is absolutely gonna burn.

@jimrobottom Having just seen this, it feels your story is even more apt. Thank you.

People keep saying he has no charisma, I say " I don't want charisma in a PM, I want integrity & intelligence"

I will now add empathy, thank you.

My son had/has CFS, I can relate so well to you story.

Powerful words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France's most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle's France combattante.

Here are his words on Gaza: "I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children.

And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights.

I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on."

@drrachelhewitt These are incredible - thanks for sharing.

The Ancient Greeks had two words for time:

1. Chronos = sequential, quantitative time

2. Kairos = fluctuating, qualitative time

Here's why you need to understand kairos...

HS2, a train that travels only 120 miles on Earth, was more expensive than the International Space Station which took 10 years and 15 countries to build.

@PGMcNamara He'll leave her where she is. She's a performing caricature created to draw/polarise conversation.

This debacle is the best dead cat he could have wished for - how better to detract from the revelations of the COVID enquiry?

Much better (for him) to keep focus on this surely?

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

Mr. T. on how he chose his name:

I think about my father being called "boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy".

So I questioned myself: "What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?"

So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr."

So, as a result of #EatOutToHelpOut in August, the science dictated that we needed circuit breaker lockdown in September.

Knowing this, they held off until December?

Having held off the initial one to make sure the horse races ran.

Prof John Edmunds, "As I explained to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, we either lockdown now and control the epidemic, or it will force you into a lockdown later, when you'll have to lockdown harder and longer. 20,000-25,000 people died. Some would have, but there's no reason for that many people to have died at all.. There was no strategy, no long term thinking."

They do not care one jot if a girl’s head is smashed into the rim of a car door. Which is why no one believes the regime’s assertion that #ArmitaGaravand is currently in a coma after sustaining head injuries from an altercation with these despicable thugs “due to a collapse induced by a drop in blood pressure”. The fact that her mother has now been arrested for expressing an infinitesimal amount of frustration with the situation says it all.
The similarity with #MahsaAmini who died from similar head injuries is distinct and pointed. Iran is a country about to blow. ⬇️
