2 months ago I removed all the mirrors from my van and I haven’t looked back since.
Had an unscheduled 6 hr spell in A&E today. Annoyed at the wait but don’t blame the staff, blame the system. I could see how hard they were working and was amazed how every member of staff kept a smile on their faces. Anyway, nothing broken but can’t see me doing any sport for a bit.

The Aussies don’t appear to be taking their loss to the Lions on Saturday very well at all. And they have the cheek to call us whinging Poms.

Unfortunately I’ve not been able to see enough of the Lions tour to have an opinion on today’s squad. Looks good on paper but would have been happier if Henry Pollock had been in the squad. He’s a bit different that kid. 🦁 #Lions

Whether you agree with the proscription of Palestine Action or not, you have to question whether it is a good use of police, and the courts, resources to arrest people holding up signs concerning an absolute genocide, as per the UN, and not, I don't know, actually arresting criminals.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

Russell Brand shares fake redacted file claiming that Penelope Keith shot JFK.
Clearly didn't read it.
Mind you, it's no madder than some of the other theories.
