I just found a cat treat in my coffee. An auspicious start to the day?
Busy day at Stonehenge as the stones are moved forward one hour.

A mass trial in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) last year saw 53 human rights defenders and political dissidents sentenced to lengthy prison terms. It was outrageously unfair. It was abusive. It was cruel.
