It seems to me that it's only the Curling and possibly Figure Skating are the only winter Olympic sports that doesn't pose a significant risk of death. Even nordic skiing comes with a gun

Watching the ice dancing on mute whilst playing prog rock in the background to see how in sync they are is a fun Olympic pastime

When are we going to stop treating women and girls like they are disposable and dispensable.

Just a word of thanks to our fantastic media. Despite my racist bullying at school, having a senior colleague imprisoned for being a traitor, breaking the MP’s Code Of Conduct 17 times, my dodgy house purchase and even being in the Epstein Files, nobody is demanding I resign!

This.

Also, we must never lose sight of the fact that this scandal has abused girls as victims. Who are being increasingly overlooked.

It’s the Epstein files deja vu: how many more powerful men knew about his crimes, and helped him out anyway? | Marina Hyde I’m sorry, but this is not just a political scandal. Time to refocus on the horrific mistreatment of women and girls, and the role of these ghouls, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Tell me again how this BBC editorialising is just my cognitive bias... This isn't a quote from anywhere. It's just the BBC's description of this disgraced, divisive politician.

A bust of the emperor Hadrian onto which someone has extremely badly photoshopped a row of stars on the forehead and a ginger Mohican. The aim is almost certainly to make the emperor resemble Vyvyan from The Young Ones. This aim has barely been met, at best.

24th Jan is the birthday of both @adrianedmondson.bsky.social and the Emperor Hadrian.

Trump letter to Norway

Trump letter to Norway

Possibly just me overthinking it, but is the fact the President of the United States is a deranged narcissistic lunatic a cause for concern?

There is something very satisfying about starting research in the index of a book rather than a keyboard.

Been in a panto all weekend.

It's the best fun ever.

Appearing on stage making people happy is so cathartic.

Three more shows to go next weekend!

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Zahawi is a prick. When I worked at the hospital, his office phoned because he wanted a tour around the dialysis unit. My boss was CD at the time so he agreed. He cancelled his clinic. Zahawi didn't bother his bollocks showing up, didn't call to cancel either.

He did this twice.

Absolute prick.

Why has Donald Trump attacked Venezuela and taken Maduro? The US has been ramping up pressure on the Venezuelan leader since Trump took office last January.

Is it something to do with the massive lake of oil under Venezuela?
