As the UK government ends a scheme requiring us to take in vulnerable unaccompanied Syrian children trapped in Europe, this quote now seems apt on both sides of the atlantic…
“The way a government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.”
Tony Benn

I’ll take alternative facts so long as I can have alternative politicians too.

I do not like winter storms, at all. I most certainly didn’t ask for 8 to 12 inches of snow, with strong winds and gusts up to forty miles an hour. 
For our metric users, which is most of the world, this is 20 to 30 cm of snow, and wind gusts of 64 kph.

It is likely that a chapter of ‘Ai o Juten’ will be posted at some point today.

Nice comment in an article I read today. 
“The Internet is filling up with porn and unless we can get help downloading it, pretty soon there won't be room for anything else.”
I’m willing to help

WARNING: Politics and bad language… but I was provoked (on the bad language). I make no excuse for my politics.
Hahaha...
The Speaker of the House of Commons in the UK (John Bercow), has said this about the possibility of Trump talking to MPs:
“We value our relationship with the United States. If a state visit takes place, that is way beyond and above the pay grade of The Speaker. However, as far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism, and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons.”
So basically he’s said: hey, let’s not.
Unlike the BBC, I don’t think I need to include the idiot comments (who shall remain unnamed), being as he is a complete and utter **** who used £4000 of public money to keep his fucking stables warm… FFS. But he’s not happy… bizzare! He’s like one of those minority members of UKIP, who you just think… what the hell are you doing there? Get out you imbecile! But then for some people greed trumps everything (so to speak) – even victimisation of your own ethnicity, since he was born in Iraq and so has been unable to enter the US for the best part of a week. What a moron!

Latest sign that I’m too often using my phone to write porn: The first suggestion after I type “big” is “melons.”

So, my work schedule appears to finally normalizing.  We’ll see how long that lasts.
Agenda for today:
Upgrade the forum
catch up on self admitted minors
hunt other minors
continue the finalization of character set conversion in buffy, where I’m working

I’m back… again.  But it’ll take a bit of time to work out if everything truly is running normally again.

WARNING: Personal politics ahead...
So the petition against Trump making a state visit now has over 1.5m signatures. For context, the UK has a population of about 52m people who are over the age of fourteen.
This evening, I was off out protesting in Sheffield. For such short notice there were a lot of people, so many we closed the main road in front of the town all. At one point I was out on the edges, when a woman asked me what it was about, since she had just finished work. I told her; so she joined in.
Of all the slogans I heard chanted tonight, “Trump – better out than in!” is probably my favourite. Followed closely by the “Theresa the appeaser!” mentions from the speakers.
Also memorable is the moment when a girl stood up in front of the microphone and declared: “I am a muslim woman! And an activist!” to rapturous applause.
I’ve got to admit, I have (especially in my younger years) participated in many anti-racist and anti-fascist protests, marches and rallies, but this is the first where I felt protest and civic duty really merged together into one.

Is anyone else, like me, looking at the news in sheer unbelieving horror?
Or has everyone taken the route of sanity and turned it off?
Refugees denied, families seperated, US residents denied entry… suddenly that TV section from the newspaper about the inauguration doesn’t seem as funny.
And I swear everyone around him.. you can see in their eyes that they know he’s completely and utterly insane. They just haven’t got a clue what to do about it.
This is some really, really bad shit… and terrifying.
