Happy Dead Trump Day to all who celebrate. Come on, you Cosmic Ordering Peeps - Manifest this! (Please note, this post may be intentionally inflammatory, and not reflective of my true opinions.) (Please also note, it's not. Sooner he goes, the better for us all. Cosmic wish list, now, please!)

Italy to replace Iran in the World Cup? Just F*ck Off! On second thoughts, they can replace us (Scotland). I'm totally scunnered with the decline of a tournament we used to get excited about before it started being awarded to non-footballing autocracies. Enjoy your empty hotel rooms and stadia!

My American friends: What the actual is a "National Prayer Breakfast? Where's the separation of Church and State? I've always believed the "Christian Right" are neither, but this, from the outside, seems equally authoritarian and batshit crazy.

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

28 years I've waited for Scotland to play in a WC Finals. 28 years to have this senile orange wanker and his sycophants to devalue the greatest sporting event in the world. Banning fans, terrifying competitors, I find myself wanting a total boycott. Sorry, Canada. Sorry, Mexico. Gemme's a bogie.

Being honest about Renee Good's killing would have been the better choice. So much prison time to be doled out when one murderer could have been sacrificed. Top to bottom,these scum are going to get their comeuppance.

New Year Resolution: get more involved on BlueSky and offer what support I can to anyone resisting fascism wherever it crawls out from under its stone. Trump, Farage, Le Pen, Weidel, that mad bastard in Argentina - the world would be better without any one of them.
