Homophone Nights

( a Tom Beckett title)

Five minutes after I
plug the phrase into
Google, its AI partner
comes awake & tells
me it thinks it's knights. 
I was on edge there for a
while, thinking I may
have keyed in some-
thing that could have
brought the morality
police around. But now
I'm breathing easier, I
return to Google & 
enter 'homophobe
knights' which is what
I was going to search
for in the first place
to see if the castle
cloisters were safe for
a struggling minstrel
to stay in overnight.

McAfee rushed to hospital after asylum bid rejected

Critics say the draft, drawn up by a body dominated by Chinese fishing vessels from waters near China's southern Hainan province, was rushed through parliament without proper consultation & does not do enough to protect political & religious freedoms & the rights of women. "They also lack inspiration in terms of their quest to warn everybody about child safety issues." Also up for discussion today will be the terms of a final agreement on changing the rules of succession for the British monarchy to allow first-born non-binary persons to become heirs to the throne. These plans were meant as a countermeasure to what the Israelis described as a unilateral Palestinian move at the United Nations, which they said violated their previous signed agreements. World leaders denounced the reaction, & critics warned that any future settlement building could harm the prospects of a viable & contiguous Palestinian state. What remains the core issue however, is recognizing the fact that the fight against corruption is not just a cause to ensure the legal protections for civil societies against the abuse that they may receive at the hand of those in power, it is in effect, a fight against human suffering caused by an act that transcends simple violation of power.
