I still haven't had the money back from Border Force for this. It's one of those things lingering in the back of my mind, bugging me, as it's been over two months since I sent the form in. I want my £16 back, dang it!
The seller marked it as a gift AND customs ignored the notice saying VAT was paid.

A comedy of errors.
I'm not entirely sure what to do when my Royal Mail tracking page is telling me I need to pay a customs charge and they'll hold my parcel till I do so (I quibble this as I did pay tax etc. via Etsy) but when I go to the page to pay it says there's no charges associated with the parcel.

I just finished reading and it is so much worse than I even imagined. Palantir effectively controls some of our most sensitive data - from nukes to the NHS - and Palantir is loyal to the US.
NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.

It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🤯

It's always comforting to find out that the police did a drug raid on a house out the back of you on Friday and you had no idea 🤣

My local cinema only had Rental Family available for one week and I was sick for the whole dang thing.

I did it. I finally managed to get what I would consider a proper night of sleep after a few days of struggling with this bug.

Still got a horrendous cough but maybe it might start letting up if I'm not exhausted all the time.

It got worse. It's still somehow getting worse. It won't release me from its clutches. What is this dang thing?
I thought I somehow magically dodged whatever bug my Mum got, or that I had it and it wasn't as bad, but I've started really coughing now.

Please don't get any worse. Please don't get any worse. Please don't get any worse. Please don't get any worse.

One of the top replies under an image on X of Renee Good's body slumped over in her car after an ICE agent shot her is another user asking Grok to put her body in a bikini. Grok then generated the image.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.

The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Nothing is wilder than watching US pundits on many sides of the aisle argue about whether Trump got the right permissions to invade another nation, instead of, you know, whether any part of the US government should be allowed to once again invade a nation based on US preferences.

The US attack on Venezuela is rampantly and shamelessly illegal.

Donald Trump has repeatedly made it clear that the US wants to steal Venezuela's resources.

This gangsterism, trashing anything left of the 'international order', will pave the way for global violent mayhem.

Two things I'm going to try and bear in mind this year:

- It doesn't matter what I'm writing, so long as I can write when I feel like it, because the most important thing is that I'm enjoying it

- Regaining any level of fitness is a marathon, not a sprint. Any progress is good progress

Good riddance to 2025.

May 2026 be kinder to us all

Not me getting teary eyed at a TRAILER for Shrinking season three.

(One of the best shows Apple has to offer, IMO.)

Wake Up Dead Man

Good:
- Daniel Craig and Josh O'Connor were great together
- It made me hoot with laughter several times

Not so good:
- Underutilised/boring ensemble characters by comparison to other KO films
- Way too long

Knives Out is still my favourite.
