Recovering from major op, where it was inexplicably discovered I have cancer, which I'm fighting like a devil to overcome.
Still doing the news thing, though. Join us and help me out by putting me to work.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

The ‘Millionaire Exodus’ the UK Media Told You About Never Actually Happened

The equivalent of 30 stories a day were published about an exodus of wealthy people that a new study finds was "non existent"

Breaking news: The Trump administration is planning a major increase of deportations to Guantánamo, including citizens of Britain, France and other allies.

Officials said they are unlikely to inform the foreigners’ home governments about the transfers.

Apparently our would be mayor wants a security force that is reactive and a deterrent on the streets of London.

What does he think the Met is?

@nickynoo007.bsky.social do they still run a Fred on here?

Exceptionally sad to hear of the passing of @dissentra.bsky.social.

It was a pleasure to have known and chatted with her. Brilliant sense of humour, but took no BS either, which was refreshing.

RIP, Pat. I'm going to miss you.

Brief update: back in hospital for a bit. Nothing too serious, some stomach issues related to the chemo. Hope to be back 'at it' by the end of this week.

Thanks for all the kind words. You've all cheered me up very much.

Happy New Year to all.
For those who don't know, I have been in hospital since late November, when I had a close call with death, resulting in major surgery.

I will be active again on social media, but it will take some time while I recover.

All the best for 2025 and always.

I've been on about a small grassroots news project for years: a group of us think that we have to be active (in broadcast as well as online) in news and factual to fight disinformation.

We're just £1,800 away from success. Can you help us launch?

Remember that news project I've been harping on about for two years?

Well, we're nearly there!

To launch we now need to raise just £7.5k more.

This is the most interesting thread about cat crap you will read all day.
Someone tagged me into this as, in Drach's absence, the person on BlueSky most likely to know (without guessing) how navies handled cat poo. I am VERY offended.

But they're also right. 😆 Indeed Drach/Dr Alex and I were comparing notes on this back in November.

So thread: How cats shat on ships /1
Bad news: I wrote to the Museum of Maritime Pets in Maine to ask how cat poops and pee were handled on ships before litter was invented. They didn't know! But they're very curious, too, and want me to keep them updated. We can all make educated guesses but I want to see what actual records say.
