So the guy who called Trump, to his face, at a car factory, he called Trump a 'Pedophile Protector'. Trump said 'Fuck you' & slipped him the bird. The guy got suspended from his job. But his friends started a gofund me and he's got $800,000. So, you know. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

A Baker in Mass advertised her new Cookies. They have Fuck ICE written on them. Sold out in minutes. Queues formed from 5am. Oh, and #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Of course, Trump Simpletons are not pleased. Down they come with their rape and death threats. Cowards and incels.

The finest... I can't hear the words Shatner's Bassoon without laughing. Although to be honest, it's not something I hear often. I Believe Edmonds tried to sue over this, which makes it all the more funny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcgU...

I walk into the park. There's a goose making a racket. Other geese join in on the other side of the lake. They start to rush around the lake, finally, I am surrounded by about 60 geese and ducks. They recognised me. They knew I had some food for them. Even hand fed a few.

I'm back for scans Monday. Who knows how that will work out. Because my breathing is all over the place I didn't do the Gatsby read. Sorry. I will do it but I can't really put as much into it as I want to atm. I will try again tomorrow.

I fired up the Pluto TV App and went to 'Cult Movies' and what was the fine quality fayre? Showgirls. So... no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I've already seen it. And my eyes have never been the same.

This month (last thirty days) I have lost so much material. About two hours worth of stuff. And it's really got me down. I could attempt a rescue of the data, but it's such a pain in the bike rack. I'd use notepad and pen if I could read my own handwriting.

My fiendish plan to go back to analogue devices and not use that damn digital dohickey to record ideas and material on the fly has hit a wall. The capstan band driving the mechanism is to loose it would drive the wheel. I am going to have to take two machines apart and build a Frankenstein machine.

When I was younger I had ambition to become rich and famous. As the years passed, my ambition has become more based on chances of success, and so we reach today, where my ambition is finding my slippers.

Farage promises ICE-like action. This past year ICE arrested and put zip ties on children Shot *priests* in the head with nonlethal rounds Raided an entire apartment building (which led to zero arrests) And today, proved Tim Walz right by shooting and killing a woman-a citizen-in Minneapolis

Tim Walz is calling on National guard to protect citizens from our own Federal government. Let's just think about where we are at.....Buckle up.

Just eaten some fruitcake Although to some that sounds like cannibalism.

I am so old I remember a corrupt tv host trying to pass this off as local people utilizing a Government funded climbing frame.

I miss Pearl and Dean. "Looking for a stretch of Motorway? It's got to be the M6. 220 miles of tarmac covered travel pleasure, boasting 18 services stations for your delectation and detours. The M6, just 2 miles from this theatre". Them were the days.

"I am practicing in a North London Suburb" I am assuming that's because saying you are in Harley Street says more than 'I work in Harley Street. Like my Bentley?'

I should have a shower. It is a New Year, after all.

So, the snow is here. A week late. Two weeks in fact. Must be using public transport.

Trump gives corrupt, grifting, talentless, maloderus, people traffickers, child molesters, tax dodging traitors and adjudicated rapists a bad name.

My alarm clock has a snooze function on temperature so it doesn't make me feel all cold. Bless.

I'll be honest. I don't care if proposing articles of impeachment is an empty gesture that will ultimately die in the Republican controlled congress, I want Dems to do it anyway. I want them to put political pressure on their opposing party even if it's doomed to fail.

I’ll be surprised if it’s something besides “We hope our republican colleagues will work with us, otherwise we’ll be forced to write a strongly worded resolution opposing this.”

Looked out, two little foxes playing outside. The parent down the road... lovely. Put some fat squares out and a couple of mince pies for them. They found the pies. The fat square disappeared later.

Good morning and happy New Year's Eve to everyone. Time zones are so weird. Australia is already in 2026. Europe is still in 2025. And the United States is in 1933.
