Proud to say I'll be there with bells on! The lab we did was a brilliant experience, and this should also be an amazing opportunity and another chance to see all the lovely women on the lab. Now to practice 'Hi, I'm Emily Isaacs' without sounding like a quiz show host! @wftv-uk.bsky.social

my favourite soviet era joke:
kgb agent 1: tell me, comrade, what do you think of the leader?
kgb agent 2: i think the same as you, comrade!
kgb agent 1: in that case, i’m afraid i have to arrest you
kgb agent 1: tell me, comrade, what do you think of the leader?
kgb agent 2: i think the same as you, comrade!
kgb agent 1: in that case, i’m afraid i have to arrest you
A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The next season of White Lotus should be White Lotus UK and it's just a Center Parcs and everyone has an alright time, goes down Leon, a young couple has a fight on the third night but only coz their Woodland Lodge doesn't have a hot tub, they make up pretty much immediately.

I don't quite understand the thinking behind why they're going for PIP. It's not an in-work benefit, nor is it means-tested, so there are disabled people who work who receive it, and there are likely people out of work who don't.

Video no. 2 is out now. Already a bit better with the camera work, editing and structure - it might seem silly to be posting videos of animated doll-like peoples but it's actually really good at practicing my directing skills and camera work!

We’ve been watching Wolf Hall, a fascinating study of how the fragile male ego of a fickle, greedy despot creates a culture of deep cruelty and mistrust, where everyone lives in fear of saying the wrong thing. Thank goodness we’ve moved on from those times.

I cannot believe I’ve spent most of the day arguing with someone who’s saying ‘it wasn’t a nazi salute/it was faked by the media/you didn’t watch the whole thing’. FFS. It was real, it was witnessed, he hasn’t denied it happened, and he most certainly knew what he was doing. #elonisanazi

Seeing people talk about the "DEI" orders but not much on the fact that they have added an A for "Accessibility" - ie, Disabled people. They are targeting disabled people too. And it looks like they are coming for the ADA.

Sat in the go waiting room. Bonded with two other ladies over how, while in public, we fight the urge to break out in song when they play power ballads on the radio. Three middle aged ladies singing under our breath in the waiting room. So British.
