Excellent letter in local newspaper today
Kennedy speaking at his inauguration, looking young and vital.
Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.

While Labour offer rhetoric, I am focused on delivering progress for Scotland.

Why not ask them if they want to eat cake…..

Hopepunk is the opposite of grimdark. Finding hope in the darkness is a radical, rebellious, beautiful, terrifying act--and is necessary to fight on.
Hello! I’ve finally got fed up of the binfire that is X these days and hoping for a less toxic experience over here…
NHS must be scrapped to save lives, says think tank that has been propagating an anti-NHS message for years and has been enabled to do so by our most privately-owned, complicit, media outlets. 🚨🚨🚨
No thank you, the IEA. Ps who funds you?
