Threads screenshot: You know, Robert Francis Prevost, being an American citizen over the age of 35, who has resided in the US for at least 14 years and has not served as President of the United States, has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever in 2028. And no, the First Amendment to the Constitution does not prohibit the sitting Bishop of Rome from running for President of the US. Besides, all of that "separation of church and state" is woke liberal DEI stuff, right?

You can probably support the working class and demand support for people who are struggling because of capitalist inequality and also not pretend massively bigoted rhetoric and action isn't happening or being Trojan-horsed in under the guise of taking down those in power, by the way. Just a thought.

Space folk, please get home safely soon so that I can enjoy all you’ve done #artemis

Do you know what would be really great to see? All those tractors driving down to Doonbeg and occupying the golf course of the man who got everyone into this mess...

As the US promises war crimes, Tony Benn's 1998 speech is as important as ever.

'Are not Arabs & Iraqis terrified? Do not Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die?... What fools we are to live as if war is a computer game for our children or just an interesting little Channel 4 news item.'

My new kitchen is nearly installed. If the balloon ends the world before we get a working dishwasher, I’ll be really peeved.

Humans blasting off into space and not dying is a literal miracle.

Everyone talks about resilience with chronic illness, but no one really talks about how exhausting it is to have to be resilient literally every day. Like I would love one day where I don’t have to “push through” anything. This isn't strength, this is just me doing my best because I have no other options available. mybodyistryingtokillme.com

Surrealing in the Years: You are watching the obliteration of standards in real time If this is escaping with our dignity, that’s only because dignity ain’t what it used to be.

"If you jumped into a pit with a baboon, tried to convince it to have tea with you for 40 minutes, and sat nodding sagely at its baboon remarks the whole time... people wouldn’t say ‘Well done navigating that baboon situation’, they would say ‘Why do you do that every March 17th?’"

New column:

The Power of Poetry   with things falling apart and anarchy let loose,   it was only poetry, he found, which had any use,   so he reached for his copy   of The Complete Works of Yeats   and bludgeoned the President of the United States Brian Bilston

On World Poetry Day, here’s a reminder of the power of poetry and its potential to change the world.

JB looks much younger than she is

And???

Someone needs to send an ambulance to X

An e-card that reads, "People are losing the spirit of the Ides of March. It's not about just stabbing. It's about coming together to stab in groups."

Happy tyrant assassination day!

How could he not be a fan?

Hopefully, all these countries that I have bullied, humiliated and shit on for the past year will come to my rescue.

Tourists are complicit in the fascism

When I sit in a different seat than usual & see the shelves, I get really freaked by the random stuff I love & think I need 🤷🏻‍♂️

It dawned on me that Navan Fort is a burial site

Could someone explain to me how "Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon" has the 8th largest collection of human remains in the country. 😱

It is chaos, & avoidable

Against all sense, I’m watching the Danny Dyer caravan park show. Is it normal for business partners to never speak together about the business? Or a tv thing??

Yes. Also, chin & elbows if that’s relevant
