Bavarian rules: The kids are in bed sick with fever and repeated vomiting due to the virus that's going around. That's manageable. But the school demands a doctor's note and the doctor demands that the kids visit the doctor today to get that note.
Someone has replaced Munich's missing 18th invader. But the Flash Invader app doesn't recognise it.
This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started
We may well recognise the role of disillusionment, anxiety, anger and despair in building support for fascist movements of the past but for obvious reasons we do not now look kindly on the people who made that choice
Dark early morning on path in Kelvingrove park, Glasgow. Forgot my head torch.
The UK does not have a "migrant crisis" or a "small boat crisis". It has a racism crisis, and it has been deliberately created.
Scotland's First Minister should not be cosying up to a convicted criminal who's actively working to undermine democracy and human rights around the world. It's time political leaders started standing up for our values, instead of trying to appease extremists like Donald Trump.
Donald Trump meeting is an 'opportunity' for Scotland, insists John Swinney
Oh man I just find this deeply & utterly incomprehensible. Reading aloud to my children was a top-three life experience for me. I was gutted when they got old enough & no longer wanted it. I still miss it. It is both intensely pleasurable & easily the best thing you can do for your kids.

Saturday 19th April 1pm Foot of the Mound - Resist transphobia! Resist erasure! Resist the UK Supreme Court ruling! We will gather at 1pm at the Foot of the Mound - in front of the National Gallery. We will rally with speeches for 30 minutes, and then march to the UK Government building.
Labour is upping the ante on anti-migrant politics just to learn that Farage & the Tories can always, always go further than them. It’s real people who are caught in the crossfire of politicians trying to outdo each other on toughness. How we treat people matters. #r4today
I don't think people realize how certain a CDU/AFD coalition is if nothing changes. It's not certain which party will lead that coalition. I don't think people realize how catastrophic that will be.
Merz ist vollständig im orwellschen Neusprech angekommen. Merz jetzt: "Wir werden mit der AfD nicht zusammenarbeiten. Vorher nicht, nachher nicht, niemals.“ Sagt einer, der letzte Woche wahnhaft mit Ansage und Anlauf mit der AfD die Republik erpressen wollte und dessen Partei 1:1 wie die AfD klingt.

Kolumne: Das Narrativ vom »gefährlichen Ausländer« gehört zum Markenkern der AfD. Sie hat es mit langem Atem strategisch in den Mainstream eingeschleust und die Union überlistet: mit gezielter Realitätsverzerrung. #Merz #Verfuegbarkeitsheuristik 1/2
Was früher in rechtsextremen Telegram-Gruppen gehetzt wurde, gibt heute der CDU-Vorsitzende im Bundestag von sich. Wieder ist jetzt.
