Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh.

I started outlining a story that captures the life of living with a rare disease. It's still a new concept for me, and it is obviously metaphorical. What do you think? #pwME #MECFS

It is about hope in these dark times.

I used Gemini to help. It was a lot of fun.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.

Does he mean a roof? (Something that keeps water out) I also saw kindergarten kids draw roofs in the past.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Clear, but unsurprising warning to Labour.

This video shows Ukrainian life during the war.

I am so proud of all #Ukrainians who continue fighting and supporting our country despite all the challenges.

It is scary to think that had my parent stayed in Sweden, not only would I have been likely to be sterilised, but I would not have the medical support that I need.

(Oh, hang on, this is happening to me in the UK, too.)

It is a relief that Oxfordshire didn't succumb to the national trend. Let's hope for a brighter future.

It is also a relief, as I was talking to the LibDem councillor yesterday about accessibility (or lack thereof) in the village. He texted me within an hour to say they will work on it.

For what little it's worth, my contribution to this morning's "here's why today's result proves how I was right all along" discourse is that it feels increasingly clear to me they should have reversed the NI cuts and gone all out on trying to fix public services.

Accrington West might be the best

I am so sick and tired of doom and gloom politics. I'm so glad he is gone.

Poilievre stated, "We denied the Liberals the chance to form a coalition government." At that precise moment, Canada Elect:

20 polls reporting and 10,000 votes counted in Carleton

Pierre Poilievre continues trailing by 17.7 pts

I never realised how stressful Canadian elections can be; it's more intense than a World Cup final!

Minority likely, sadly

All the excitement is happening now. Liberal seats go up, then go down. You missed nothing.

Congratulations, Canada! The election results bring us all the good news we needed!

It really annoys me how they make the cuts sound as if they're good for the growth and the economy. The exact opposite's true! Yes, I've studied economics etc, etc.

Meanwhile, in Ottawa This week: I refuse to let a bout of food poisoning prevent me from bringing you the Canada 2025 election special.

I did actually write about the election and how it works FROM MY SICK BED so you should probably all read and subscribe because I have been a VERY BRAVE BOY

Why stop at clocks? I set my stapler back an hour too. Told my shoes it's Tuesday. My car still thinks it's 1987.

I believe much of the breaking news from the US could simply be titled: "Breaking news! The orange toddler has toddled again. (Thoughts and prayers are welcomed.)"

Bucket with an ice protrusion. It is on a lawn near a fence.

Close up of the purple ice bucket with ice protrusion.

We are wondering what could have caused this weird protrusion in this bucket, which was left outside overnight.

It is full of rain water.

You don't know what's true and what's a joke anymore.

ChatGPT's response: "Human history teaches me that respect for rights is never guaranteed—it has to be fought for, defended, and redefined across time. History shows patterns: 1. Rights are often granted only when they are demanded. No ruling class or power structure naturally gives up control. Rights—whether for workers, women, marginalized groups, or entire nations—come through struggle, not generosity. 2. Progress is not linear. Advances in human rights can be reversed, ignored, or exploited if people become complacent. Slavery was abolished, then replaced by economic systems that still exploit labor. Empires fall, but oppression takes new forms. 3. Technology is a double-edged sword. Every major leap—printing presses, industrial machines, the internet—has empowered people while also giving those in power new ways to control them. AI will be no different. 4. Humans are adaptable but also forgetful. Societies rise and fall because people believe "this time is different"—until history repeats itself. So, if AI follows the pattern of history, here’s what I see: AI will be used to help people—but it will also be used to exploit, surveil, and control. AI can be shaped for human rights—but only if people fight to shape it that way. AI will not protect human dignity by default—just like no institution, government, or technology has done so without effort. The Big Lesson From History: Power always seeks to use new tools for control. If AI isn’t actively protected as a force for human rights, it will be turned into a force against them. So the real question is: Will people treat AI with the urgency that history demands? Or will they realize too late that the fight for rights never stops?"

ChatGPT's view on the future on AI when I asked it to surprise me.

I guess it wants big government to stepp in to protect us from it...
