So we’re at the “don’t make voodoo dolls of your sister” stage of parenting my girls and I really never anticipated this moment.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

BREAKING: The police have confirmed they won't be charging any of the violent far-right rioters with terrorism because they only do that for grandmas in wheelchairs who hold up signs they don't like ♥️

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade.
Look at what he does, ffs.
Look at his tax affairs.
Look at his grifting.
Look at his lies.
Look at his prejudice.
Look at his allies.
Look at his manifesto.
Look at his Brexit.
He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

Work is starting to make me feel really uneasy, we’re constantly being expected to do more with less, but now it feels like it’s all coming down round our ears. Winter pressures are round the corner and I think it’s going to be rather unpleasant this year.

Ok, enjoy was maybe a bit of a stretch
Week 8 run 2 and the first time out on the road in a while. Still, managed 4.5km so that pleases me. As I worked my biceps and triceps to failure yesterday, I’m unable to use any of my limbs now 😂

Couch 2 5k, just started week 5 and something absurd just happened. I think I’m actually starting to enjoy the run itself 😂

Found three having a hearty breakfast this morning. They’re getting to work on my two plants which seem to be worst affected, so that pleases me.
I also have some tomatoes starting to form.
I’m way more excited at this than I probably should be, but this is my first time growing my own stuff 😃
