I had a gruesome 2018, then this time last year I was selected by @youngvictheatre as part of their inaugural year-long writing programme, mentored by the fab @EuphoricInk
Play submitted, & this week my monologue will be performed at The Clare. To think I almost didn't apply...

It is absolutely bizarre that the President of the United States is actively committing open treason with no fucking consequences.

Much punchier accusations from Sir Malcolm Rifkind - a former defence and foreign secretary:
"I choose my words very carefully. I think this week Donald Trump has shown himself as a person to be repulsive; as a President of the United States to be a disgrace to his own people as well as to his international responsibilities.
"We all know his actual reasons for this are a grubby attempt to win a few more votes in the midterms by trying to get oil prices down.
"In order to achieve that, he has not only betrayed Ukraine in the middle of a war, fighting for its very existence, but he is also directly - not indirectly - directly responsible for the deaths of many Ukrainians who will not now be protected by the attempts that have been successfully made using intelligence provided indirectly by the United States."

🚨 Ukraine has gathered clear proof that Starlink is being ordered to scupper Ukrainian operations.
It is horrific betrayal.
This is why all US technology needs to be replaced by European technology for critical European systems - UK included.
ALL of it.
Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

Elon Musk has stated that Tesla can turn off your car at any point. SpaceX can turn off your wifi whenever they want. They've threatened to use these features if they suspect your an undocumented immigrant attempting to flee. They've shut down Starlink during crises. Now they shut down Starshield in Ukraine due to their attacks on data centers in Russia.
Why would we put so much power in the hands of an emotional lunatic?

It should be obvious now - if it wasn’t before - that developing a high-end Europe+ alternative to Starlink must be pursued with wartime-level urgency.

Alex Gibney: “There was an estimate that what [Elon Musk] did by suddenly cutting USAID would cost through disease and starvation as many as 14M lives. Even if you discount that, we know within a year of those cuts where they were literally burning food going to starving children, 500K children died. This is really a crime against humanity, but he makes a joke about it, I put USAID into the woodchipper. What he put into the woodchipper were children”

Elon Musk and Donald Trump decided to punish Zelenskyy by throttling Starshield because of domestic US fuel prices, and Ukrainians were killed by Russian attacks as a result.
That didn’t bother Musk though, the only thing he cared about was his profit margin.
EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph.
The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries.
‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement.
But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.
The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown.
‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

Covid and glandular fever, and chillingly she was asymptomatic. Yet still we wait for standardised ventilation protocols in public buildings and transport.

Pulling for @Pontifex, the most thoughtful and impactful moral leader on the planet today. The world, not just Catholics, need his voice, his kindness, his decency and his wisdom.
Pope Leo XIV's surgery confirmed that he has lung cancer and he had the lower lobe of his right lung removed, the Vatican said Tuesday.
The tests confirmed a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, the Vatican said in a medical bulletin after the surgery. It said the diagnosis had been suspected by preoperative tests and was confirmed during surgery.

Martin Lewis who died in obscurity in 1962 was a retired art teacher who found some success in his early career, but was largely forgotten. He spent his last three decades teaching other people how to etch, including Edward Hopper.
History chose Hopper, but Lewis was his mentor.

It’s always bothered me that the Boston Globe took down this article because every time I see a story like this I want to post it: web.archive.org/web/20210504…
TMZ reports he took his own life.
If you’re thinking of harming yourself, call 988.
Your life is too precious and those thoughts of self-harm are a pernicious evil lying to you.

Only over 7 years too late.
And millions of people dead.
And millions more left disabled or in poor health.
Bravo @UKHSA
