Lots of people in this country are just too thick to realise how utterly pathetic the Reform party actually is, and how much they are just taking the piss with the sole intention of being disruptive and breaking things. I hate them with the fire of a thousand Suns!

God this is endlessly sad. If you don't understand that a core aspect of friendship is someone who can choose not to be your friend, you are missing something very important in your life.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

Love your friends. Unashamedly love your friends. Go for little walks. Do lunch. Go for coffee. Make spontaneous plans. Head to the pub. Phone them for five hours straight. Text them the things that make you think of them. Humans are full of so much love, share it with as many people as you can.

Every night around about now Henry tells me it’s time to get ready for bed and escorts me to the bathroom where he’ll hang out and watch YouTube videos - he really likes Abby Cox sewing, TRIP, Drumeo and art restoration. Sometimes I’ll leave him sitting on the loo watching his stories, as you do

I’ve just found Bootleg recording of the 94 Woodstock on Internet Archive, sadly missing Alice in Chains, but quite a few bits of Blind Melon with Shannon Hoon saying how the oldies were worried about them gathering and protesting - except there was so much going wrong … archive.org/details/wood...

Satellite data from the European Space Agency shows the surface temperature of the oceans is warming 4.5 times faster than they were at the end of the ‘80s. It’s not easy to predict climate change, and the reality keeps turning out worse than we thought it would be 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Applications...

I think that if I was a judge who'd been locked up without warrant or charge while the person responsible screeched all over social media about it and dragged my name through the mud, I'd want to get out and use all due process available to utterly fuck up that person's life. Legally.

My personal "5 years since the start of Covid" moment is remembering that in 2020, the US discovered it had allowed almost all its mask and PPE manufacturing to transfer to China for cost savings. In 2025, PPE is still almost all made offshore, and we just encouraged China to end shipments to us.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

RFK saying he “never saw kids with ___ (medical condition)” in the 1940s like ok buddy you were a badly behaved child not an expert diagnostician, your family literally lobotomized your own aunt for having symptomatic depression, and we didn’t have tests and treatments for most things in the 1940s

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague
