I have a terrible head cold. I'm gonna go to urgent care tomorrow to get a nose swab and all that jazz just in case. My ex has been sniffling all week, claiming "it's just allergies."
I didn't believe it. I still don't.

Morning my loves. It was off to Burgess Hill Town yesterday for their match against Billericay Town, where the game wasn't especially good, but at least my hands were warm.

The Trump Regime Smear Machine is now a taxpayer funded venture that smears victims of state violence by justifying their killing. This should be familiar, it is a common practice in the aftermath of police shootings of black people (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
