Looking for the x ray department

When you make plans to go for a nice walk, and your body wakes you up with cramp.

I hope the Labour Party press office is compiling a long list of clips & quotes from Farage, Badenoch, the Tories, Reform & almost all UK right wing commentators who condemned Keir for not joining the Trump/Netanyahu attack on #Iran & are now pretending they didn’t because oil prices are going up.

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

If someone could find me a fully working chest to replace this rubbish set, that would be great.

Social Media Platforms Regulation for A Safer Internet Social media and AI platforms monetize harms, abuse & extremism - at the expense of people's safety. It's time lawmakers hold platforms accountable & make our digital spaces safer. Join CCDH and call for social media and AI regulation.

We found that Grok AI generated an estimate of 3 million sexualized images in just 11 days.

AI is following social media by putting profit ahead of safety, creating a toxic online environment for kids and women. The era of platform self-regulation must end.

Well. This is new.
(More confirming I have a viral “thing” rather than anything concerning!)

While a current public debate is about social media and young people, should we take a moment to ask, “Won’t somebody think about the old folks?”

Photography isn’t about making perfect images.

It’s about being in a place, paying attention, and noticing the good and beautiful things that are still here.

Grok Is Undressing Women and Children. Only Elon Musk Is to Blame The abuse is widespread. But instead of apologizing, Musk has gleefully encouraged the behavior, praising Grok’s ability and promoting the tool.

“Grok Is Undressing Women and Children. Only Elon Musk Is to Blame”

The abuse is widespread, writes ⁦‪⁦‪Taylor Lorenz‬⁩ for Zeteo. But instead of apologizing, Musk has gleefully encouraged the behavior, praising Grok’s ability and promoting the tool.

Well, our 2026 has started with digging a tiny grave for a family pet. Here’s to a duller day tomorrow…

Today is Monday,
And no, no one knows when bin day is.

Spooky dark image of the church building silloted against a dark sky with subtitles style text saying and if I only could I’d make a deal with God

After binge watching Stranger Things, I attempted to take a few images in that tone.
I don’t think I’ve nailed the look, I’m liking the subtitle look.

If you were an inhaler, where would you be?

So, Manchester City verses Exeter then…

GUTFELD: “I love that the peace price went to Trump and not Greta Thunberg.”

TURNER: “Because it was created it for him.”

GUTFELD: “So?”

TURNER: “There were no other candidates.”

Dazed and confused in Manchester When I found myself in Manchester, and lost the ability to ask sensible questions.

When I went to Manchester, and forgot how to speak to people.

‘Deeply shocking’: Nigel Farage faces fresh claims of racism and antisemitism at school Bafta-winning director among contemporaries urging contrition and apology from Reform UK leader, who denies the allegations

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.
