Sad to announce that Harry, the bestest, daftest boi who ever lived, took his final journey over the Rainbow Bridge today, in his sleep. He is buried in the garden, with his beloved Piggy. Harry Potter, May 2009-24 March 2025. Run free little guy 😢

Every single day, the Trump administration adheres faithfully to 1984:
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”

Kristi Noem: "In Minneapolis, Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey choose violence. They choose to encourage the destruction of their city. It appears they want this lawlessness to continue."

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I’d like Trump to watch this, and listen to the lyrics (and then go absolutely fuck himself).
James, Hey Ma. The music video for this track does come with a trigger warning - the opening lyric is “Now, the towers have fallen// So much dust in the air”

I was listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social at a Doctoral Writing Retreat. Luckily for me, in the Writing Room, everyone is focused on their work, so they didn’t see the tears. I will never forget hearing a name I knew on the news, killed on 17/06/2008 in Helmand.
Thank you James for this show.

Today’s show provided a platform for military personnel & their families to respond to Donald Trump’s shameful

This is what America voted for in November 2024 - not all Americans, as we all know, but enough. I’m sorry to our decent US cousins.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Let us just remind ourselves that the *only* time Article 5 has been invoked was after 9/11, when the *USA* asked for NATO allies help. So go fuck yourself Trump. I don’t think your USA would come to NATO’s rescue.
Trump: "The big fear I have with NATO is we spend tremendous amounts of money with NATO and I know we'll come to their rescue, but I just really do question whether or not they'll come to ours. Just saying."

Esther Ghey says daughter’s eating disorder and self-harm had been exacerbated by harmful online content
The mother of the murdered teenager Brianna Ghey has urged Keir Starmer to ban social media for under-16s, adding to growing pressure on the prime minister before a crunch vote on the issue on Wednesday.
Esther Ghey wrote to Starmer on Monday explaining in detail how she felt her daughter’s eating disorder and self-harm had been exacerbated by TikTok influencers with whom she had become obsessed. Continue reading...

Desperately sad tonight. My neighbours of 20 years (D&M) moved to a little cottage just before Christmas, to begin their well deserved retirement. I had the news earlier that M has passed away suddenly. She is a genuine loss, a lovely lady, my heart is aching for D. They were the best neighbours 😢😢

More accurately, users of Elon Musk’s AI bot are prompting it to generate at least one non-consensual image every minute. Grok isn’t doing this on its own, humans are responsible and need to be held accountable!
“Grok is generating at least one non-consensual sexual image every minute”
Grok Is Undressing Women and Children. Only Elon Musk Is to Blame
The abuse is widespread. But instead of apologizing, Musk has gleefully encouraged the behavior, praising Grok’s ability and promoting the tool.

Musk has programmed his bot to do this depraved and disgusting thing. No one should still be on X, least of all any government account. The fact that the users are getting the AI to do this shit tells you all you need to know about X.
Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

Thought of another one! Tripped over my roller chime when I was 2. Smacked my head/eyebrow on a unit. Mum ran to the Dr with me, needed stitches. Had to go 4 miles away & they butterfly stitched instead of proper, so I have a scar & looks like I shaved the line in my eyebrow 🤨
So many, but the most ridiculous one probably has to be when we were “hurdling” the tennis net in secondary school (we’d been left unsupervised!), and I caught my foot on the net, fell, cracked a finger. Got a trip to A&E in a Toyota MR2 though.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.
