Cats. Cooking. Beer. Crafting. But the greatest of these is cats.
Mandy is a thoroughly rotten man being rotten with other rotters. I never understood why that slimeball was welcomed back into government time and time again. Hear hear George!

I've been thinking about this post a lot since I read it. Is it OK to be a fascist now? Or do the people who talk that way and those who vote for them genuinely not realise? Either way, this cautionary doc from 80+ years ago feels eerily familiar... heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-9-...

The company that makes the ladders used in the Louvre heist has a new ad campaign.

"When you need to move fast," reads a banner under the image. "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

Fascinating. As someone who has rarely ever been within the 'healthy' zone of BMI, this is comforting news - albeit preliminary and not conclusive (<-- I have to say that as a science editor) theconversation.com/fat-but-fit-...

A fantastic piece with excellent, clear graphics, that show how hoax researchers can manipulate the 'science' about vaccines and autism.
And as a palate cleanser, why not try the Bad Vaxx online game? See more misinformation tactics and win points! www.badvaxx.com
A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS).

Consider this an early warning for what lies ahead. 🛟🩺🧪

What a cunch of bunts
The Supreme Court promised that its decision "would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people" so we are surprised and disappointed that the Westminster Parliament has surrendered to hate. goodlaw.social/qduz
Parliament surrenders to anti-trans activists on toilet policy
The UK parliament has thrown trans people under the bus on toilets, abandoning its own policy to placate activists who accosted a trans barrister on the parliamentary estate.

No shade here. Go Stella!
I admit it. I broke the rules calling Farage out. I am not sorry- will keep calling him and his fellow travellers out. But making abortion a human right in England & Wales like in Northern Ireland better protects access than me getting into trouble:

My quote of the day

In my view, antisemitism must be identified and fought, but so too must efforts to squash legitimate protest of Israel by conflating it with antisemitism. By understanding the mythology underlying antisemitism, hopefully both can be accomplished.
