I feel very happy and fulfilled today… but that £210 million would just enhance that a little. Are you listening, universe?

I don’t understand, maybe I’m slow in the uptake, but why should Ukraine make any concessions whatsoever? They haven’t done anything and offering up territory completely validates Putin’s invasion.

Or is there some other way this can be spun without Putin looking like the victor?

This article about ‘shrinkflation’, especially the embedded video, is really interesting. In fact, it made my blood boil!

Sad to hear that British actor Ray Brooks has died at 86. He was a great actor and a big part of my growing up.

I’ve got white hair and a beard. My partner (@the_stonehouse_bakery) says, when I have a tan I look like the negative of a photo of the Yorkshire Ripper.

Just watched Kevin Bridges explain his religious/atheist thinking… he wondered if God created the world and then left (to work on other properties). Essentially God has given the human race an ‘empty’.

@liammcilvanney.bsky.social Hi Liam, sorry I missed your think at the Mitchell tonight (work ‘n at), but thanks for signing Frances’ book, as she made it!

Enjoy the rest of your trip to the northern hemisphere!

Still trying my hardest to be woke.

I think Sandi Toksvig looks better blonde…

Any science types here who can tell me if seals and dogs are genetically related? I don’t mean like humans and tomatoes, just that seals seem to be pretty dog-like. To me.

New track from Girls.Speak.French - ‘Idea of You’ … enjoy

Our entire lives are spent trying to recreate (or repair) our first relationship. We create safe spaces that resonate with our first safe space. We design and shape our environment to match our earliest environment… even if that environment/space/relationship was ultimately uncomfortable or unsafe.

Amazing work!

I suppose, if I’m here now that means the gatekeepers have lowered the bar and all you toffs will soon be overrun by the house polloi.
