Old, grumpy git. I don't eat Tofu, but am otherwise a fully paid up member of the 'Wokerati, or, to paraphrase POTUS, a 'Radical Left Lunatic' who loves fairness, equality and DEI.

I've studied Classical Guitar since retiring, and can now read music reasonably. I've played Acoustic Guitar, intermittently, for most of my adult life. I've also taken up the Mandolin in recent years.

“Nobody is coming to save us” is something marginalized communities have known for literally ever.

For people intending this evening to publicly petition our government for a redress of grievances:

AM I FREE TO LEAVE?

I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.

Vance is there to attack the EU, which cut off some funds in a fairly weak protest at Orban's dismantling of democracy in Hungary. Defending democracy is "election interference" according to Vance, as he campaigns for Orban. They like the authoritarianism and want it for America.

“President Trump’s bloodthirsty threats to target civilian infrastructure in Iran signal a clear intent to breach international law. The UK Government needs to take care; by continuing to grant the US access to our airbases, the Prime Minister risks making the UK an accomplice to war crimes.

I mean it's not that I don't think the US government will ever send a death squad after me - it's just that I highly doubt they're gonna bother with an international extradition and trial afterwards.
