In these truth-elusive times, I try to avoid conspiracy theory wormholes as much as possible.
However when Amazon abruptly removes ALL traces of a book called “Conspiracy & Populism: The Politics of Misinformation” from its catalogue, it does make you wonder what sort of censorship is at play 🤔

I just found my old Little Professor 🤓
Us kids of the 1980s had to amuse ourselves with these while we waited patiently for the iPhone to come along 😂
First released by Texas Instruments in 1976, it sold over 1 million units in 1977 alone.
➕➖✖️➗
Did you have one of these? Have you still got it?

Happy New Year!
Did you know… 2025 is a perfect square year?! 🤓
45 x 45 = 2025
The last example of this was 1936 (44 x 44); and the next one will be 2116 (46 x 46)
I don’t know the full significance of this, but hopefully (all fingers crossed)… it’s all good! (Orange presidents aside, obvs) 🤞🤞

I just dropped off some parcels at the local parcel shop, and saw this lovely memorial for the very first time, despite going there most days.
Bob - I never met you, but it seems that you were one very cool and much loved cat. 😻😿
RIP Bob 🐈⬛
