Donald Trump is the antonym of Marcus Aurelius

I waxed lyrical before on here about a Taylor Swift track in Shake it Off but The Fate Of Ophelia has surpassed even that.

The Fate Of Ophelia is a classic pop track, congrats Taylor Swift you have surpassed yourself. Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia (Official Music Video)

Iranian missiles are landing in Israel, I can see them landing on Sky News. Large scale retaliation inevitable. More death and destruction on it way, more innocent children to be slain. What a colossal tragedy.

Evil and malignant plutocrat tries to destabilize a democracy and fails miserably. His wings need to be clipped and they will be, hubris will collide with nemesis as it always does, sooner or later

A win today for America, for democracy and for western civilization, well done Old Joe for doing the right thing even if it ultimately fails to stop Trump and Trumpism

TORIES ABOUT TO BE ROUTED IN UK after 14 ruinous years and 5 horrific Prime Ministers. 😄😍👍🙏🩵 1st tweet in a year (apart from an accidental RT)

It’s not the largest tree in the world but it’s better than we’ve had the last few years (which is no tree). We were Christmas shamed by a friend (you know who you are) 😂

Twitter in 2023 is not shameful and disgraceful a platform, just merely contemptible.

Please Ukraine STRIKE NOW! when Russia is in chaos. What better time to make a devastating push.

If Russians are killing Russians that is welcome news. I welcome this news. Ukraine you've caught a big break today and I'm delighted for you, Glory To Ukraine!

He has died!

Twitter in many ways is in 2023 a contemptible platform with all its lustre long gone but I'm still here and do pop up from time to time.

Seeing a school of dolphins while gazing off the end of pier was a real treat, Dolphins in the wild where they ought to be not in fucking sea world, what a treat that was, they were barely 25 yards away from me.

First Take and Undisputed represents mindless entertainment, these days I prefer Undisputed but now Shannon Sharpe has decided he's had enough and is leaving. Not surprised.

Twitter has been losing its lustre for about 10 years but I do welcome this initiative to strip prominent people of their status symbols of blue ticks. Welcome to the hoi polloi all.

It's best not to be cynical, practise mindfulness, appreciate the awe of nature and any new songs that come along like As It Was - Harry Styles

As It Was - Harry Styles is a fabulous track a good track is a good track whether it was recorded in 1929 or 2022

Practising mindfulness is time better spent than reading twitter.

I seem to remember the final episode of BBC sitcom classic One Foot In The Grave featured End Of The Line - Traveling Wilburys.
