While the world entered 2026, the United States went back to the 1930s. Just like prewar Germany, they are banning books, books written by Black authors. This is an attack on the truth, the truth makes the Trump administration, the Republicans and MAGA uncomfortable.

We will be doing this shit for years. What an idiotically avoidable waste of our time and resources.

Our lovely Siamese cat, Katsu, had a laparotomy to remove a huge bladder stone, which had been causing frank blood in wee. She came home on Christmas Eve & was not happy with me or my 2 kids(!)- which is so unusual for her, as we are her 3 special peeps.

Leaders of 4 Reform councils, Kent, Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Durham have expressed doubts over the use of vaccines which keep us safe.
In other news it is understood a review is underway to determine whether the Earth is hollow or not, after a Reform councillor reported hearing an echo.

Farage the Russian money loving traitor caused the problems that he rages about.
He caused them on behalf of Putin and Trump.
And has seriously damaged Britain, as Brexit intended.

As I (and thousands of other people) predicted, Labour's non-deal with the USA wasn't worth the paper it isn't printed on.

Absolutely catastrophic to have traded our EU membership for this turbocharged farce.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.
