This video was *technically* five years in the making, so do go give it a watch…
Ellen has learned some important lessons from her time whimpering and crouch-walking through horror games, and she's in a spookily-lit room to tell you all about it.

Every PM has opposition voters that dislike them. This PM has *voters* who dislike him, incl me, because:
- they vote tactically to avoid tories who slash welfare and target minorities, but still got tories who slash welfare and target minorities
- they don’t get distracted by the usual scapegoats

Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

“Oh no! I got wine on my pyjamas…” - a sentence I uttered today that is only acceptable between Christmas and New Year.

Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, and Amanda & Alan's Spanish Christmas have been my favourite Christmas telly specials this year.
So I like when a couple of old friends go off on a trip together, get the giggles, and then stop for 5 mins to have a deep conversation about grief and death.

Merry Christmas, I made French Toast Casserole from a recipe I got off TikTok during lockdown (and now has turned into a tradition). It slaps.
Hope you’re having a nice day whatever you’re up to, whether it’s a holiday or a normal day for you 💜🎄

I had to saw off the base of a Christmas tree for my family, as it was a teensy bit too tall. We only had two very rusty saws that my grandpa used (my grandpa passed away in the 90s).
The roar I get out after finally getting through the last bit of trunk was death metal worthy 🤘🎄

Watching the Diddy documentary, trying not to scream at the juror who is like “she would get beaten by him but she would stay? It’s basically half her fault”.
This is why women don’t speak out, and why physically and mentally abusive men get away with this ALL the time & feel empowered to continue.

In response to Musk calling to “abolish” the European Union, the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, Radoslaw Sikorski, wrote in Musk’s replies on X: “Go to Mars. There’s no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

What is the point of this? A picture like this means nothing without the important and exciting factor that you actually threw yourself out of a plane? Are people going to waste energy on this just to lie to themselves, or to lie on social media? Either way: I hate it! 😊🙃
