Three years of teaching; 20 years of journalism. We're just innocent men.

Back in the UK motherland after 16 years in Aotearoa.

This might be one of my favorites from Artemis II. A cinematic alignment of the Moon and Earth, each cradled within the warmth of sunbeams.

Taken from behind the Moon on April 6th.

This sums it all up, really.
I love my American friends and family but there is something hard-wired into the national identity that is selfish, greedy and vindictive.

Also explains the surprising lack of birds on the island. You hear them in the trees but they don’t risk it land level because the feline opps have them ducking.

Updating this. Turns out you can totally stroke them and if you feed one a bit of gyros kebab they will follow you back to your hotel and be there waiting for you the next morning.

Public cats. Freely owned wild wandering cats you can befriend like Pokemon. Im moving to Rhodes.

There is a place in England called Warwickshire. Nobody has ever been there. Nobody has ever met anyone from Warwickshire but we know it exists.
We live in a simulation.

The feral cats on the Greek island of Rhodes are incredible.
Totally undomesticated and you wouldn’t want to stroke one but completely chill around humans.

This is crazy. Just got a notification from Meta AI while eating a burger. Answering a question I didn’t ask.
Took 5 mins of probing before it admitted there was no question and I was part of a testing program.
These bots aren’t just hallucinating answers, they’re asking their own questions.

Pokopia inverts the Pokémon paradigm. You are now appeasing the sentient beings you previously subjugated. This is praxis.

A critically important point: the IDF is openly admitting that it targeted & assassinated the 3 journalists today.

Their crime?

According to the IDF statement: “reporting on the locations of Defense Army forces operating in southern Lebanon.”

The Hague awaits.

Any school that removes books that promote empathy, cultural understanding, history and critical thought needs to be investigated for neglect. I don't think this is up for debate. If you're not teaching children this, what the fuck are you teaching them??

If the first UK SNL taught us anything; it’s that Shrek is every bit as British as Paddington.

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

The bigger question now is, why wouldn't you want to vote for Greens?

We've had 50 years of 'you just need to be more right wing', & more right wing & more right wing with Privatsiation and De-regulation at the heart of everything.

So, how do you expect anything to change with Reform or the rest?

I pointed these out to my *28 year old* co-worker and was shocked when she didn’t get the obvious Prodigy reference.

This woman is very online and culturally switched on. Then I realised the song came out 2 years before she was born. 😩

Hope + Plan = Green Party

Best speech for Britain I’ve heard in 56 years.

Zack delivers facts and figures with electric and earnest authenticity with a desire to rebuild from the ashes.

Why has Reuters gone after unmasking Banksy? It was clearly part of his art to have a murky identity. It’s like running an investigation to prove Emu isn’t a real emu, and it’s all Rod Hull’s meaty fist.

The reason the media are going after Zack Polanski:

His opposition to Israel's genocide & Iran war

The media is not your friend
