It's almost as if it's not a good idea to rely on pieces of defence and communications infrastructure that are in the hands of one of the most morally depraved and emotionally unstable wretches ever to walk the earth

Nick, speaking for a nation there.

I am so bloody tired of government by electoral attack strategy. You WON, now get off your collectively irresponsible arse and govern for survival, happiness and prosperity, not the fantasies of billionaire US tech-and-sex-party magnates.

If we were told how much benefit our country collectively gets from people making stuff up out of their heads, a truly socially mobile option, we wouldn’t know our proper place. It’s why they’ve made the arts almost impossible to pursue for ordinary people. Get back on your trawler, prole scum.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Spent the afternoon with Mr A looking round a place full of loads of tiny themed gardens. We approached the Gentleman's Cottage Garden with some trepadation ngl.

I might end up slightly fancying Smiley. This is WRONG.

I love this picture of Macfadyen as Smiley. (It’s pretty much the first one I’ve seen, by the way - we’re all in this together!) www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...

FALL FASHION TIPPE - Disappear ynto the woodes of an eveninge, when the skye ys lavender and blue. Call unto the powers that dwell ther, and lo! thei appear yn their glamour and their panoplye, radiant. Aske of them what thei have seen and thei will tell thee: 'woe & hope' Accessorize wyth a scarf.

ENFORCE SOME LAWS. This should not be a difficult call.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

Anyone thinking that Piddington is a lovely little village story and what japes, needs to watch this.

Roland Smith@rolandmcs.bsky.social

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

10 years today, after a David vs Goliath FOI legal battle that damaged Alem Mathees, White et al were forced to release data from PACETrial (that cost UK taxpayers £5M) showing graded exercise therapy & CBT didn’t lead to an increased recovery rate for CFS. Please remind the world #MEcfs #PwME #CFS

this second session being impossible to schedule is the most D&D thing you could possibly imagine

The principle of FAFO means that one can simultaneously loathe ICE and find Milo being detained by them objectively hilarious.

The reason why the Muppet's Christmas Carol worked was Micheal Caine accepted his co-stars as serious actors and treated them as peers. The reason Muppet Treasure Island worked was because Tim Curry accepted that he was a muppet and treated them as peers. RIP Tim.
