Gardening: because your body needs to remind you how fucked it is every now and then.

Im watching Madam Secretary, and I feel like Henry McCord has a point… the world is watching, and we don’t like what we’re seeing.

This is so very sad, and I know as a consequence people will be searching the NHS website for ALS. And as I could see something like this coming back in 2021, ALS searches will return Motor Neurone Disease. Good synonym management accounts for Americanisms, sadly.

Super excited, just booked tickets to see Bryan Cranston, Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Paapa Essiedu in All My Sons in December... I'm a bit of an Ivo van Hove fan (I've seen both A View from the Bridge and Network directed by him, and both were Uh-maze-ing).

So, Agent Orange, how’s Liberation Day working out for you now?

Look, I'm not an economist, but I am a systems thinker, and I *knew* the next move would be for China to make a move on the US assets they own, which is a metric fuck ton. I could see this coming from a mile off. I bet they're wishing they were the ones who own Agent Orange instead of the Russians.

Agent Orange says "it's a great time to move your company to the US" well, sure, as long as you don't want to take any of your intellectual talent with you, because I'm sure they're not up for the cost of health care, Gileadesque treatment of women, third world vaccination standards, no DEI etc.

You lot, remember when I asked you if a Welsh artist with the most amazing cats was on here? and you ALL unwaveringly failed to say she was? well, guess what, SHE'S HERE!! (and was legit the only reason I was going on twitter in the end). Sigh, all is good in the world. @sarahevansart.bsky.social

Every page of Careless People I read, the more I’m convinced Zuckerberg shouldn’t even be the office mail boy

So, just checking, that the Turnip Fan Bois who are blithely believing that all the tariffs will restore manufacturing and "prosperity" to one of the richest nations in the world know the cause and effect of their little fairy tale? 1/5

For some reason, I never got around to watching Heat, so I’m rectifying that this evening.

Rusty Rockets is on the court docket... bet he didn't appreciate his shite screen name would end up rhyming with his date with destiny.

These tariffs were designed in consultation with my council of economic advisors

White House tells Wall Street to "trust President Turnip". Snorted. Trust him to do what? bankrupt the US and other countries? I mean, he's got form on bankruptcies. As for trusting an absolute sh*tgibbon with no economic skills with a trade war? bahahahaha. are they INSANE?

Someone, please turn LinkedIn off for the day. The amount of low rent, utterly shit, more transparent than a Kardashian dress, making me want to gouge my eyes out, April "Fools" is making me queasy.

Watching Madam Secretary, Because it’s nice to imagine the US had competent states people, even if it’s fictitious
