Much kudos to the weather reporter at the end of the 6pm news who went out of her way to refer to “the Gulf of Mexico”.

Know all these Tories screaming about a second public inquiry? It’s a racist dog whistle. They know full well there’s already been an inquiry, it ran for 7 years, cost £200m and the Tory govt didn’t implement a single recommendation. So that’s what you remind them every time they lie.

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy. Please don’t share.

No snow (yet?) at home -I’m so disappointed. There’s a good covering visible on Snaefell though, and some sunshine!

To the importers of Christmas lights:- I do not want lights that flash or flicker by default. I do not want to have to crawl under a tree and press a tiny button 7 (?) times to avoid potential epileptic triggers. Why can’t Christmas light strings just always be steady “on”?

Irrelevant and irreverent. Is this a worthy aspiration for a retired gent?

We have had a new (replacement) postbox installed in our small village. They are clearly working through old stock.

I recently joined Bluesky, and see that one of the feeds I *could* opt for is about cat pictures. What I would really prefer is to get no cat pictures: #nocatpictures
