Avoid Amazon.

It's not a boycott, more of a 'let's not go there'.

Shop indie.

Bubble with a very loud squeak.

It's the 1930s all over again.

Is Musk a solipsist?

Is Musk the kind of solipsist who wants to join other solipsists in occupying Mars?

AI is a bubble trying to pass itself off as a pyramid selling scheme.

Perfectly normal business practices.

Malcolm Gladwell writes such door stops it takes 10,000 hours to read them, so I'm told.

Orange peel over the teeth is such a good look

It's for local people ...

Soylent Green.

It amazes me that a food brand calls themselves Soylent.

Is there a body that audits processes and procedures so that crime organisations can show they are organised?

The Management and Finance Inspection Authority would be a good body to run the certification.

This is 2025. Do we want disorganised crime syndicates?

Did a cat do this? 😁

Some MPs haunt a constituency long after they left.

One such MP is Enoch Powell.

Something that Jenrick and I share is a childhood in Wolverhampton South West.

EP used to canvass outside my primary school.

By Jenrick's time it was EP's legacy that haunted the area.

The monster is always Byron.

And, as we all know, Byron's appearance at the party at Villa Diodati inspired Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein.

The Russian wing of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers needs to have a quality audit.

Is Mike Johnson 4' 10"?

Is DJT going to fight while dressed as the wrestling behemoth Shirley Crabtree, aka Big Daddy?

And who is DJT fighting?

Is the world ready for that mankini?

Short hair makes it easier to wear a beanie, or any other kind of hat, cap, or headgear.

Who's chasing him?

Louth is famous for electing Jeffrey 'perjurer' Archer as its MP

It's also sometime home to Robert 'shipbuilding' Wyatt.

Is Robert Wyatt reading Marie Kondo?

The thing that is 'un-British' is creating a list of what is 'un-British'.

This.

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves

6 multiplied by 7, or even 7 multiplied by 6, gives 42.

Douglas Adams, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, told us that 42 is The Answer to the Great Question Of Life, The Universe, And Everything.

The problem is that nobody really knows what the question is.

This is not any scone. This is a Kiwi cheese scone

Resistance and ridicule are valid strategies against Fascists

The Reform infatuation with DoGE is shown up for the total farce it always was.

The USA DoGE was:
- a data grab for tech bros whose understanding of the data they were grabbing was limited
- an attempt to stop govt activity they dislike

Reform wouldn't know who to sell the data to.

We visited when we were in Dublin in 2024.

Dublin's got some great independent book shops in some prime locations.

Thanks for pointing out it looks like a random pyro as opposed to a targeted attack.

At least one university calculates deductions for strike days and adds that sum to gross pay.

That university will be graced by anonymity to protect the guilty.

It's a great independent bookstore.

Places of worship and book shops should be treated with a certain reverence.

Anyone who torches book shops or places of worship is looking forward to perpetuity in one of Dante's circles.
