Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

I live in the greatest country in the world. I pay $450 a month for health insurance so I can pay $250 to go to a doctor who prescribes me a medication that I can't afford because it isn't covered by insurance.

Cork City Council to consider tiny statue honouring mosquito linked to Oliver Cromwell’s death Green Party councillor Oliver Moran says the unusual proposal could become a quirky tourist attraction for Cork city

Here’s your breakfast.. @clubbing-guy.bsky.social

So keep posting this: news.sky.com/story/nigel-...

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

It's already outrageous and offensive that people with unimaginable wealth view themselves as the victims, but the fact they feel comfortable saying it in public takes it to another level. Their brains are broken, simultaneous delusions of grandeur and victimhood wrapped in malice and shamelessness.

Say what you like about the British press, but I find it reassuring that they spend months ripping apart a Labour PM for properly declaring some glasses and football tickets, then all but ignore someone who wants to be PM when he tries to cover up a £5 million gift.

Not content with being conned once by Farage, over Brexit, swathes of Britain are going back to get conned again.

Sometimes you might have no choice other than to rely on a non-pilot to get the job done... www.aerotime.aero/articles/pas...

Doing what I do best - shutting down a question about the £5 million gift I received, because I can't stand scrutiny and don't think the rules apply to me.

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough Thank you for being a friend to all animals and for helping the world to cherish us x

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ

Just as there were people who resisted the introduction of inside toilets, seatbelts, women’s votes, lead free toys etc Tice & his party are similarly reluctant to embrace what most people can clearly see is needed. Unimaginative, regressive, fact averse idiots. Let’s never let them run our country.

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”. I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

5 April 1974, Stephen King's 1st novel 'Carrie' was published. It demonstrated the devastating psychological effects of peer cruelty & at 200 pages, it was 1 of his shortest books. King famously threw the 1st few pages in the trash; his wife, Tabitha, rescued them & urged him to finish. #StephenKing

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

The curtain is rising and the show is starting. 🍿 Amazing conditions finally after weeks of snow. Keep your eyes peeled this evening, everyone. The show should be good for a few more hours. #aurora #northernlights #iceland

A man I worked with years ago tried to overtake on a two lane A road. Hit another car. Killed one person, lifelong disability for her husband. Driver got a year or so in prison, PTSD, lost his job & his wife left him. I think about that every time I'm tempted. Better than any speed awareness course.

More than two-thirds of New Yorkers support efforts to make Big Oil pay for home insurance costs that are rising as a result of climate disasters, according to a new poll from @dataforprogress.org. New York lawmakers are currently considering legislation that would do exactly that. 👇

Frank is appalled and would like humans to please get their shit together.

I had to have a breast biopsy today and my nurse kept calling me, "my love" when she explained things, like, "alright my love, now we're going to..." Why do these simple moments of humanity make me cry? Why have they become so rare? My loves, I just don't know. But we can always do better.

Fun fact: "French toast" in the French language is "pain perdu", or "lost bread". Since this is ANGEL food cake French toast, obviously it needs to be called "saved bread", or "pain sauvé".

I really can't recommend Aldi enough to people who find themselves bursting into tears at the grocery store over food prices. I somehow got almost two weeks of groceries for $146 today, including canned drinks. Yes, it was more beans and pasta than usual, but getting out for under $150 was magical.

In this time of higher energy prices, please consider car sharing…

My momma had measles at age14 before the vaccine, lost her hearing, 90% in one ear -100% in the other. She spent the rest of her life working to overcome a disability she didn't ask for, then later in life died from Covid two weeks before the vaccines became available. F the conspiracy crap.

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

Investors will learn SpaceX has competitors. Rocket Lab — a big winner for me — Astra, Starfighters Space, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman all launch stuff into space. And that’s just on the space lifts. There are competitors for its satellite system, too.

Millions of drivers mis-sold car finance to receive average £829 in compensation Bank execs received performance related pay/bonus but don't bear any personal cost. Nothing prevents banks from passing on cost to customers in higher charges.

Every time I hear men talk about destroying this planet so they can travel to a dead one, I think about how miraculous the existence of Earth is, and how capitalists should never be permitted to make decisions about space exploration.

I am blogging semi-regularly on Substack about what I refuse to call “my journey” with ovarian cancer. It’s helping me and I hope it might help some other people too. substack.com/@janehill64?...

If the govt had brought in a 25% tax on gas exports when it came to power in 2022 it would have raised $68bn by now and the missed revenue is growing every second. Check out our gas tracker gas.australiainstitute.org.au

The question of whether you should get pleats always comes down to some practical issues: what is your body type? What regional style appeals to you? These designs are often rooted in some regional tradition, as Justin Kwan from Principle M explains here. IG justin__kwan

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

Omg people need to stop defending Tiger Woods. This isn’t about golf or legacy. It’s about someone choosing AGAIN to get behind the wheel impaired and gamble with other people’s lives! Fame doesn’t excuse recklessness, it exposes it! GET SOME HELP, TIGER.
