Right, instead of feeling gloomy I want to do something positive.

I'm doing "Move for Mind" in January.

Mental Health is more understood than it was but still not accepted or funded enough.

Please share & sponsor if you can. Start 2026 off on a good note.

Car battery flat at 9:30pm a while away from nearest town, on a view above a beach so it's cold.

RAC were going to take HOURS to get to me, I had to be at work early the next morning, it was pitch black.

Mrs called a local taxi; driver called his mate, car jump started & sorted in under 20 mins.
What’s the worst *short-lived* scare you’ve ever had? Where you were genuinely freaking out but then it was all ok within minutes?

I had a literal moth get trapped inside my ear for about 40 seconds. I was screaming. Then it was out.

This excerpt is just...

*chef's kiss*
"Everything we thought about this issue was wrong" (by the people who brought you Brexit, no less) is the kind of statement that in a more self aware individual or group might be cause for critical reflection on their other beliefs held along similar lines, but alas, I fear not.

The narrative that the ruling class "went insane" during COVID was apparently not totally accurate. In actuality, they all believed that the Me Too movement killed their beloved pedophile fixer and lockdown just delayed them eventually punishing us all for it.

Also I’m bound to point out: yet another issue on which the left were obviously correct, years ago
That this transparently venal and self-seeking individual remained so influential for so long ought to utterly lay waste to what’s left of the Labour Party’s credibility. How could they possibly come back from this.
Starmer believes Mandelson should leave Lords as files suggest he shared government emails with Epstein

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

As others have said, this will need a committee to sort, then a review and then...and then...

Just to make it look like Starmer has said or done something.
BREAKING: Keir Starmer has urged House of Lords to urgently modernise disciplinary procedures so that Peter Mandelson can be stripped of his peerage and removed from upper chamber.

Just hilarious excuses really aren't they?

"Nope, sorry, I have no recollection of £75,000 . What can I say, I'm a busy man."
Mandelson earlier said he had no recollection of receiving 75 thousand dollars from Epstein, after documents appear to show those payments. If that is confirmed, we might expect that his resignation from the Lords may follow quite imminently

Lord Mandelson says he has no record or recollection of receiving the sums and does not know if the documents are authentic.

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

It took me far too long to realise that the rental market was just 'person/company A raises rents, so does everyone else'.

Me in my 20s honestly thought it was a REAL thing.

Nope, just people/companies trying to push rents as far as they can.
we live in an era where stores want to track your purchasing decisions to try to raise or lower prices depending on what their computer tells them you'll pay for, and where landlords are constantly caught trying to raise prices in unison with all the other landlords

This is fun. I didn't know Saltburn was on, I never did get round to watching that!
Bunged some loading messages on this coz noticed it was taking a bit of time (like 5 or 10 seconds, whatever) to load data / process it and it's possible people would be going "is this broke?"

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

In a normal time, these file releases would have taken down everyone in this administration and everyone who supported it.

But we are so beyond normal that this will be out of the news cycle in 24 hours and things will continue as they have for the next however many years. Absolutely disgusting

Once again, more Epstein files (that they've had for YEARS) released with masses of redactions of the names of the rich and powerful, whilst the victims are named throughout.

Remove the black boxes, arrest those named underneath. Simple.

You know what punishment would most affect these millionaires and billionaire pedophiles?
Take away all their money, compensate the victims, and redistribute the rest to social infrastructure, including Universal Basic Income.
