The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.

“I can do that… gi’us a job.”

Watching an auroral corona develop right overhead is one of the most spectacular things you can see

Dear Companies/Corporate Middle Managers.

Every single one of your AI helpdesk bots is FUCKING USELESS and not remotely fit for purpose.

But hey, Government and Corporates, by all means buy in to this technology and make everyone’s life a lot worse in ever single regard.

Reform pledges 400,000 deportations, which is easy to do when you don't know what money is It's no wonder that the Lib Dems have already branded Reform's pledge an "impractical farce" - much like everything Farage does

Is the UK electorate any smarter? Recent history suggests not…

The tv is frozen on an advert featuring a dog. Rosie and Poppy are running about in front of it, barking.

Poppy the Jackshund laying on her side having her back stroked, her tongue is out.

Poppy is staying for a few days.
And it’s Tuesday.

holding… me

No, it couldn’t be insider trading… most likely it‘s a prescient machine…

This smart dog knows about politics, he literally gives a shit.😆😆

I checked something.

Turns out that if I go back from the year of my birth, by the number of years of my age, the Prime Minister in that year was… Benjamin Disraeli.

An entirely useless fact…

Rosie the panting black and white Cavapoo.

The first one lasted no time at all. The bad news is that the second one means there’s no more of the ‘good’ gin.
Also Rosie says she’s still hungry as well as too hot…

Kitchen worktop with used white plastic chopping board, jars of tahini and ground cumin, s&p, salt, olive oil and a cup containing the lemon juice/onion/ginger etc. for the khatte chhole

Discovered I didn’t have lemons on the shopping order yesterday, so with one lemon, I’ve only been able to make khatte chhole with the chickpeas I cooked.
I‘ll have to drop in to the greengrocer on my dog walk tomorrow… the hummus will have to wait…

*drinks a large gin and tonic instead*

Empathy is not a weakness.

Stop letting water companies delay fines, urges Oxfordshire MP Henley and Thame MP Freddie van Mierlo says the law currently

MP introduces Bill to prevent England water companies from "delaying" payment of fines.

Companies negotiate fines, which are later deferred/waived. It is a licence to abuse.

Execs rewarded for boosting profits through illegal practices, face no fines.

Bill won't become law. Govt/Tories oppose it.

I never ask a small business owner for a discount. Not ever. Cause charge what ever you want. If I can afford it I will pay for it. If I can’t I will come back later when I can.

Anyway… here’s a picture of my #dog, Rosie.

Not that I‘m ever going to read it, but I confess to being curious what ‘Trump: the Art of the Deal’ is actually about. Because it strikes me that a sentence or two would exhaust the subject.

This afternoon I am mainly experimenting with Espresso Martini ingredient proportions, to determine my ideal mix…

I‘m about to have my dinner break. It’s definitely for the best.

What happened to this RFK Jr?

My condolences to everyone who has experienced a pet death. It’s devastating to lose a member of the family.

I‘m inclined to think that in the UK it could well be Indian takeaway, along with a lager beer/wine.
Or would it Chinese… kebab… fish n chips.
Anyone?

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason
