Beware: weaponised nostalgia is the new face of climate denial. Not: 'The science is fake', but: 'We had it bad in my day too - remember '76?'. It reassures, distracts – and delays the action we urgently need. The Bear is on the case ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Thanks to Trump bombing Iran. Iran will probably repeat what they did incredibly successfully to Saudi Arabian oil fields in September 2019. Except this time it will be US bases in the middle east. This orange idiot just made the whole region much more dangerous. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abqaiq%...

If we can somehow normalise 'Drambuie and Domestos' being the preferred drink of the 'anti-woke' brigade the problem should 'resolve itself' by Christmas.

Mr. Rossi what'd you want?

Holy reality, scream insanity!

Moron of the week was whichever complete f***ing idiot decided to make changes to Coupa’s production system on the last day of April! This blundering muppet’s screw up meant hundreds of invoices couldn’t be uploaded to our customers so a shed load of invoices won’t be hitting the books in April.

We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself. - Prof. Brian Cox
