Reader discretion: starts peacefully but ends with more violence than croquet at the Rectory.

Makes me wonder if she's in the files too...

Looks like ICE has abolished the Second Amendment.

Dear recycling peeps, please do not judge us by the number of booze bottles in our recycling bin. We have just hosted on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Honest!

First dishwasher of the day on. Merry Christmas and good luck to all those who prepare lunch. We salute you!

Please, no Christmas playlists until December.

New power unit and lots of fresh tryes really helped Max, but what a good drive by Max. #f1

The clocks on our Internet connected devics have automatically adjusted, the two radio controlled wall clocks automatically adjusted, and I've adjusted the two trad wall clocks, oven, and microwave. I realise I'm not doing social media correctly.

This! Always worth remembering where a lot of British culture comes from.

The problem with the term antifa is that the right wing is trying to separate it from the phrase it's a shortening of - anti-fascist. It's easier to be anti antifa than it is to be anti anti-fascist...

When did we start getting excited about all these full moons again? Was it during Covid lockdowns?

This.

Making America Great Again Update: US President not in charge of who gets to attend a meeting taking place at a meeting he instigated on a US military base on US soil with a foreign leader whose country has an economy about the size of the New York City Metropolitan Area.

It's awful, but I like it

A Golden Dome to protect against, um, golden showers of missiles? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was today years old when I realised Russia could not win a war with North Korea.

I wonder how many other people have been invertedly added to chats and are keeping quiet and hoovering up all the information. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Projection...

Yup!

Yes, all of this.

The cry of "No taxation without representation!" was made by people who knew the benefits of taxation and representation. Trump does not know the value and importance of either.

Seems JD Vance is the lunacy...

This!

Yet Trump/Musk claim to support free speech. I think they're fascist snowflakes

This. Otherwise it's a coup

Sadly, the UK left the EU legally and in full accordance with its constitution and Article 50.

Congress is letting him dictate...

Dear BBC, who chose the colours for this?

Haggis lunch box.

This!

I'm an atheist and yet still a better Christian than Trump and his mob.

It's fun seeing people rediscover ELIZA and great to hear much of the original code has been found. I do feel an awful lot of the LLM hype bubble is due to people's ability to over anthropomorphize systems and see abilities that are not really there. www.livescience.com/technology/e...

So much for transparency in decision making.

To go with the glass of PX my wife has just handed to me.

Yup!

My wife has fetched a bottle of white wine from the walk-in wine fridge. Or, as we call it in the summer, the garage.

This. For so many facts, too. It's grim.

Using up the last of the Christmas Pudding.

Said no dishwasher manual ever

Beef for lunch today.

Chef is hard at work.

She seems happy enough! Merry Christmas!

While observing all the standard protocols for decanting Port, the addition of a coffee filter works wonders.

Kung Po Haggis Pakora - any takers?

Beef short ribs for supper. Slow cooked with a lot of garlic and red wine.

Bedtime snack.

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it. So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

My wife and I are both night owls. Our ideal day length is 26 hours - an extra hour awake, an extra hour asleep. Dear planetary scientists, how long until that happens?

I'm going to have to get a better profile pic.
