Throughout this whole mess, no one has failed America like its press.

Had the modern press covered Watergate, Nixon would have gotten away with everything.

Shame on the journalists of America.

You are an absolute disgrace, and you have failed in your sacred duties.

A wonderful man. A proud son of St. Helens and always ready with a kind word, advice and support for those of us just starting out in journalism.

The final episode of Cheers was 32 years ago tonight. Such a great closing scene.
RIP, George Wendt.

How anyone thought Paul Wellens was qualified to be a super league coach is beyond me. Awful. Just like Cunningham should never have been anywhere near the role.

[Jonathan Davies CBE @JiffyRugby]

Very sad news. He saw something in me and gave me the opportunity and confidence to play League. I experienced great times and made many friends which DL was one of. A funny larger than life charming man. Thank you.
RIPDougie❤️ x

Note that Putin has not appeared in public since November 7, and Russian state propaganda is actively replaying archival footage of his less recent appearances.

Meanwhile, Western-supplied Ukrainian missiles are striking military targets on Russian territory, and the Kremlin's useful idiots on social media are once again howling about a "WWIII," while Putin seems to have vanished.

This is precisely what happens to Russia every time things go badly. Inept appeasers always assume that Putin "will respond reciprocally." They think he'll flash his homoerotic bare torso and show the world what a macho strongman he is.

Instead, every time, what happens is exactly what you would expect when a cocky street thug gets a solid punch in the face and lands on his ass.

Putin retreats and disappears from the public eye to avoid being associated with humiliation and weakness. Later, he does everything he can to pretend nothing special happened, appearing on TV to open honey fairs or similar trivial events.

This happened when the Russian army was routed near Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Kherson.

This is what happened after the sinking of the Black Sea Fleet flagship, after drone strikes on the Kremlin, and initially after the Wagner mutiny. Our cocky big guy tsar tucks his tail between his legs and slinks away as soon as he takes a gut punch.

And this is exactly what escalation managers stubbornly refuse to see and understand.

You do not "escalate" the war by helping Ukraine. You escalate it when you make it clear to the cowardly thug that you are weak, that you fear him, and that you want to appease him—when you signal that you would rather let Ukraine bleed out than allow Putin to be driven into retreat.

That's why we still have this terrible war.

Dan Kay spent so much of his life fighting for justice for others

Today’s inquest verdict means he now has justice himself 💜

[Daniel Austin @_Dan_Austin]

It is difficult to read about the mental healthcare failures that contributed to the death of the great Dan Kay.

People are so often told to speak up about mental health. The problem is they are then met with a willfully underfunded and broken system.

“I was in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas. I’ve argued for Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, the United Farm Workers. I’ve been a radical for a long time. I guess it’s too bad. I’d be more marketable as a right-wing redneck. But I got into this to tell the truth as I saw it”—Kris Kristopherson. Rest in peace singer, songwriter, veteran, working class hero.

I was recently contacted by my publishers on behalf of Rockstar Games re the possibility of using Temptation on the new Grand Theft Auto 6

Naturally excited about the immense wealth that was about to head my way, I scrolled to the bottom of the email re the offer…

As an aside, plenty of us who can't accept the hereditary rights of kings and queens don't sing it either - because that's what Britain's anthem is about (God save the king etc.)
Other anthems honour the country and its people, not its monarchs.
