An occasional series of what my Garmin watch is saying after my #HeartBypass.

Started wearing it again about 2 weeks after the op. The watch is basically going “Dude! WTF?”

I need more rest and seem permanently stressed? Ya think? My resting heart rate is higher. Really?

I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

Whenever I feel bad About not really understanding politics and economics, the government of the day does something to show they don’t understand politics and economics either.

Bigger picture of Labour's tax shenanigans is to delay once again, possibly beyond the next election, the point at which UK politics makes some attempt to compromise with reality.

After living through the Nazi & atomic bomb eras, Tove Jansson writings would often encompass fearful ideas about loss of a familiar world. However she would balance this with characters who encompassed #kindness & #community, even in the darkest times #WomensArt #WorldKindnessDay

Keep your money to yourself.

Stuff it in brown envelopes, hide it under your mattresses or hollow out Ayn Rand books to keep it in - do your part in keeping your money out of the hands of rich evil tyrants who can never have enough and who buy & sell humanity at low cost to each other.

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

It was the oil shock that caused 1970's inflation, but it was the monetarist reaction to it that caused unemployment. Exogenous causes, over which we had no control were behind oil price rises, but the fiscal reaction which we did have control of was crucial ingredient to create the stagflation mix

Remembrance Day was intended to be a time to remember the appalling cost our ancestors paid to preserve our freedom. It was never intended to be a celebration of war, victory or nationalism.

So, Delinquent Boy went for a walk, but took the TV remote with him, then from outside played music at maximum volume while Mrs J and I were both in Teams calls.

He might be too old to believe in Santa but he is getting a visit from Knecht Ruprecht this Christmas.
