Repost if you’d like me to represent the UK at #Eurovision 2027.

Jessica Hauser, Alex Pretti’s final nursing student, posted this on Facebook: “I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal. Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera. It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well. Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together. I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need. Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity. Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.”

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

Ukraine has already won. The only chance for Russia is if Trump can somehow force Ukraine to surrender.

RT @richardbranson: The utter irony of Putin and Trump meeting soon in Budapest to jointly seal Ukraine’s fate should not be lost on anybod…

The stock market is down again today despite our economy being in a new golden era. We can't accept this. It is time for President Trump to fire the Dow Jones or at least the people running it.

Qatar closed its airspace and the U.S. Embassy told Americans to shelter in place. But don’t worry, Trump’s $400 million Qatari bribery jet is still cleared for takeoff.

Great to see @rorybremner in Richmond tonight far too many years after hearing him perfect his Bill Mcclaren impression in the Murray/Hopetoun tv room

How it started / how it's going

“Poor man wanna be rich. Rich man wanna be king. The king ain’t satisfied ‘til he rules everything.”—Springsteen, Badlands

OPINION: Taylor Swift should break the Internet by calling Donald Trump a fat f*ck, mushroom-penised, fake haired, nepo-baby slumlord who gets dolled up every morning with orange clown makeup to be an oligarchic slut for his daddy dictators.

If I meet Zelensky in Turkey to negotiate, I acknowledge he is the legitimate president of Ukraine. If I don't, I make Trump look weak.

Hello @grok based on my posts which historical figure do I remind you of?

Dear Scotland. Could you rename the area currently referred to as the Trump Turnberry Resort, "The Golf of Ukraine"? Ta. Mr Mayor.
