Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Check your language.
![Media who are writing about the Jeffrey Epstein case, please watch for these words:
"Underage woman" - There is no such thing. An underage woman is a child.
"Child Prostitute" — Children can NOT consent.
They are rape victims, sexual assault victims, or survivors.
"Sex with [minors, underage women, or etcetera.]" — It's rape. Call it rape.
"Non-consensual sex" is polite weasel-wording for
"rape," and rapists do NOT deserve your politeness. Their victims deserve validation of what they have been through.
Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yhwyp5hu4xna5vvz5b6ahtya/bafkreid6hl7tqk3zyyr4y36hjydjf4cmrwzh2x2ulfkfalz35lapaxjgea@jpeg)

An English phrase for describing two things (or people) that are completely different is “like chalk and cheese.” A similar phrase in Czech is jako nebe a dudy. It means “like heaven and bagpipes.”

Princes St Gardens had the air of Chiang Yee's lovely work 'The castle in the summer haze', today.
So little's changed in the view since it was painted in 1948. #edinburgh

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.
Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.
