My mum has been making needle felted mice for a few years and enjoys challenging herself with new themes and ideas. She's just set up her first exhibition at the stately home she volunteers at, with a family of period mice. Incredible.

There's a singing advert for a funeral service called Simplicity Cremations.
It's like an Irish folk tune -two fiddle players singing "Simplicity Cremations where you go when you go"

It almost sounds appealing 😒 wonder if they serve Guinness & tato crisps.

The Saudi regime has executed Abdullah al-Derazi, under 18 at the time of his alleged crimes, linked to him attending demonstrations against the regime.

In August, the Saudis had executed Jabal Labbad, also arrested as a minor, in his case for attending demonstrations and funerals.

It is extremely unwise to ignore the fact that a digital panopticon is being erected around us.
This is a key component of a new form of authoritarian capitalism known as Surveillance Capitalism.

Have the Daily Star carved a Rachel Pumpkin to see if it beats the Liz Truss lettuce on longevity?
My current dilemma is: will Rachel Reeves still be Chancellor by the time I do my show? I’ve got at least 3 jokes about her which I’d hate to lose…

Last night I didn't dream I had gone to Manderley.

I didn't dream of San Pedro either.

I dreamt I had forgotten to put the green garden bin out for the last garden waste collection this year & now the triffids were growing in the bin.

If it’s a special day, I’ll be wearing my cat sweater. So nice, I think I’ll knit it twice (Cat sweater the 2nd currently in progress.)

Reading a lot recently on the intersections of gaming, violent extremism, extreme violence, and politics. Still so much we don't know about even the most elementary processes and functions. This is of the better books I've come across so far. Great starting point for anyone wanting to learn more.
