Always thought Boris was duplicitous between Ukraine and Rsia … we never saw that Russia Report did we? Malice in Wonderland is where we are nothing makes sense.
Someone should ask Boris Johnson what he thinks. He was assuring us all just a few weeks ago that Trump would never betray Ukraine and would deliver a just and lasting peace.

Sometimes things change. You just gotta roll with it.
Absolute Bagels on Manhattan's Upper West Side kept no social media presence, had no website, did not deliver and accepted only cash but was among the most popular bagel places in New York.

Then on Thursday, it shut down suddenly and without explanation, and the neighborhood reaction was intense.
A Bagel Shop Closes, and the Upper West Side Is Absolutely Losing It
The neighborhood reaction to the sudden, mysterious closure of a Manhattan bagel shop was intense: “No no no no no no no no no no no!!”

It’s looking good for a bad day for capitalism. How many more brands are we due to boycott? Because we will. We will. If only for a day. #ThingsToDoJanuary2025

A tale a journey long
Of unheard song
The road from rags to ditches

Never quite made it
So @portobello.radio let me voice the book I’m writing. Any takers?

If The Times wants to genuinely root out impropriety/past offences of those in public office, it should set the right wing media attack dogs on all of them… not just the party they want out of power.
Why do we have a hacker as leader of the opposition or a wife-beater as a Reform MP?

We prioritize stem education for 20 years and all we’ve gotten our techno fascist crybabies who have no ability to interact in the real world so they’d rather build their own and let everyone else burn.

All. Day. Long.
Meanwhile back in Blighty… single women and same sex female couples avail themselves of IVF… Let’s defund men altogether. They’re so overrated.

Even before I stopped driving (I have a dog I must walk), I have noticed the uptick in men watching dodgy stuff on their phones in vans and cars. Tell tale signs, car seat slightly set back, a freaked out expression when I look them in the eye. My dog is compelled to sniff about their car doors…
