I see Prince William has started a group to help get 300,000 homeless people off the streets within five years. Good for him but surely the questions must be,

I really want everyone to pivot back from video. I fucking hate video. Do not ever make me watch a video just to obtain information. Making me watch a video instead of giving me text I can read is an act of violence against me specifically. When will it end.

Of course this is the railways fault...
Every day rail staff sort out the mess created by passengers who just want a bit of levity, a bit of fucking about....

Trump indicted, Johnson resigns…
Right wing populism has failed. Fuelling anger and lies but no solutions for people.
Time to get rid of their mouthpieces in Europe too: Le Pen, Salvini, Orbán, Wilders, AFD, VB and many others !

THIRD rabbithole of the day: Called here between Cottbus & Berlin last Sunday, it's not your typical German place name, it wasn't an island and it wasn't very tropical. So what's the story? Apparently involves an airship hangar... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropic…

An irremovable head of state who also leads the official state religion, an unelected upper house, voter suppression and widespread arrest of protesters. There's no way Iran can be called a democracy.

This is what resilience looks like. Before leaving Kherson yesterday, this train was hit in a 🇷🇺shelling that left one of its carriages on fire and one steward wounded. Still, the trip was only delayed by 14 minutes, ending in Lviv today according to schedule - to the minute
