Bondi started another attack yesterday…she is concerned about the human trafficking coming from Canada. As a Canadian I am concerned about the guns and drugs crossing into Canada. This regime needs a distraction, their economy is tanking and Trump is a pedo. 🇨🇦
Anyone who thinks that Trump is going to sign a deal with Canada or make nice needs to wake up. If he is willing to treat his own people with such reckless violence he won't hesitate to go after us. Stay strong. Stay focused. Keep the boycott strong.
Yes, Charlie Kirk was a victim of gun violence today. This has not made us forget about the Epstein files and the regimes ongoing attempts to cover up DJT's involvement. We are still demanding the release of the complete and unredacted files.
Oh well, not 2,000 words today since I was adjusting things to take the book where I now want it to go. But I did do about 900. Further adjusting tomorrow may result in me deleting as many words in a slow section. It needs tightening & the protagonist's fears need to be emphasised & elucidated.
Off for a few days in exotic western NY. Hanging out in Erie tonight. This is the flashy lifestyle I lead.
Our workers are our backbone. Whether they’re new to the assembly line or carry generations of Ford tradition with them, their commitment doesn’t just make us better, it moves America forward. Ford Motor Company. From America. For America. What does legacy mean to you?
White House official Lindsey Halligan: "While slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history, you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress ... we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress."
My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again. So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels. #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky
This is so beautiful of Kamala to reach out like this #USDemocracy
The young‘un’s probably don’t remember “family values,” which started as an anti-gay thing and then morphed into an all-purpose descriptor for anything someone didn’t like. See: “woke.”
Everyone from these states need to call out their Governor's crazy decisions. Great job, Joe. #USDemocracy
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it frighteningly surreal that the terrible atrocities, injustices and war crimes of faraway lands that we studied in history books when we were kids are now being committed, promoted and even celebrated by our own U.S. government, on a daily basis?
Occasionally I remember to take some video on my hikes. #serenity #peace #oregon #hiking #photography
BREAKING: Signs of an incoming recession are appearing as Las Vegas is officially reporting 400,000 less individuals visited Las Vegas in June compared to a year ago. Reason: International tourists don't want to visit a country that can detain them in henhouses

Aug 19 Top Ten Tuesday: Novels with a High Page Count (Share those doorstop books!)

I've just found out that for the 40th anniversary of the film Clue, it's being shown again in cinemas in the US as it originally was, with different endings for each showing. Really wish they were doing it in the UK too.

I passed my PhD defence this morning! What a remarkably rewarding experience. I'm so grateful for everyone on my committee reading and thoughtfully engaging with my work. Very excited for what comes next and continuing my book history–disability studies work.
Ibrox will be empty apart from away fans by half time.
Last night, some utter bastard broke into the charity shop I manage and helped themselves to the contents of the safe (£650). I feel sick, angry and devastated. I have set up a Just Giving page in the hope that I can raise enough to cover the loss. As a hospice charity, every penny is so valuable.
