Her. Yer woman. You know; the one with too many books, a mad cat, and an online footprint that wanders back to the usenet days. Northern Irish.

Right. Hitler's DNA. Brace yourselves for a deluge of misinformation and bad science.

I'm in Australia, so do get in touch if you want some expert debunking.

We finished “Leonard and Hungry Paul” tonight. I really liked its gentle storytelling, and the way it avoided trying to explain every little thing to the viewers.

In our case, the first stone courses were laid onto the soft ground, and allowed to sink. The walls were levelled off, and more courses added...then they let it sink. That continued until the lowest stone course hit the bedrock, then they just kept building. The walls are their own foundations 🤷‍♀️

The QAnon stuff posited that Democrats were using clever euphemisms involving ordering pizza to communicate with one another about child trafficking, but the actual reality is that these rich assholes were just e-mailing, like, "Hey, remember when you molested [actual victim's name]? Lol."

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Appointment.

Their spanking new AI system is testing their appointment system by creating dummy appointments. But they aren't supposed to actually go out to patients.

Dear Reader, the car park was jam packed with folks like me, trying to be on time for urgent appointments. Fewer places to park 2/

So this morning I get an urgent email for a same day cardiology appointment at my local treatment centre.

I was surprised (and alarmed) but fine. I moved things around and went there a few minutes ago.

Only there was no real appointment. The receptionist said I wasn't supposed to receive any 1/

Your reminder that Brianna found comfort, community and support online, and was murdered by transphobes in a park. But it's phones which are the problem.
On Brianna's 19th birthday, this morning I joined @cheshirepcc.bsky.social and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Phone Free Education campaign at the launch at Jodrell Bank of a new £150k initiative to make Cheshire the first county in the UK where ALL state high schools have lockable phone pouches.

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.

The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

A simple answer to this, anecdotally speaking, is that people in general want nice things, but they don't want other people to have access to said nice thing and the latter will almost certainly overshadow the former
Just generally my default assumption upon learning that something new is gonna happen in Britain is that it'll be a little bit crap. I don't think that's inevitable or something, I don't get that impression in other countries, especially not ones as wealthy as the UK. Things here just always rubbish

If the BBC caves to Trump and hands over licence fee payers' cash to him, it will lose far more from non-renewals by licence fee payers than it would ever risk having to pay to Trump in court

See also the prison service, universities, local government, and the rest.

And the response of this government?

No - not to fund and run them better and prepare the ground for success.

But to join the baying mob. 2/2

The BBC is the latest part of ‘the public realm’ to feel the wrath of the right.

The playbook is wearyingly similar.

Underfund them. Hold them (piously) to the highest standards. Pillory them for all errors. And then co-opt, or neuter, them. 1/2

Retailers push Christmas crap in autumn BECAUSE it's the wrong time. Capitalism is always fighting to disrupt natural rhythms and direct our attention away from its natural paths.

If you let them, they will rush you forwards at every step until you're cold in your grave. So don't fucking let them.
