Started watching this last night, quite enjoying it so far. Suitably bizarre! www.imdb.com/title/tt3022...

Tell me about it - and I can’t even afford therapy nowadays. Although tbh menopause has been a piece of piss in terms of mental health compared to the compact global denial - and associated empathy deficit - of the ongoing pandemic. That’s what’s REALLY doing my head in.

Reading this article and although I agree with much of it, I still haven’t seen a single scientist with expertise in this issue (at least none of those whose work I follow) confirm the part in yellow. Do correct me if I’m wrong.

Glad to hear Springsteen ain’t fecking about.

Quelle surprise.

True

Nota bene UK.

If I ever tried quilting, this would be it.

Very cool episode. When I have time I want to dive deep into some of the mythology they discuss. podcasts.apple.com/se/podcast/t...

The serf is tired today and can’t summon much enthusiasm for anything, so she will lie in bed and see if she gets a second wind or falls asleep.

Smart teacher.

Ladies and germs, this is who Bari Weiss is bringing to CBS News to talk to you about the medical issues facing America.

If I were younger and braver, I’d buy this place and turn it into a covid-conscious commune. Apart from the main building there are two small flats and a youth hostel. Starting price less than GBP 30 grand :-O www.hemnet.se/bostad/villa...

No #HumpDay beer today as our groceries arrive tomorrow, but at least we have popcorn!

Outside The American embassy in Copenhagen. 1 flag for each Danish soldier who died along side American soldiers in Afghanistan. Flags have been removed by the embassy, on danish soil, danish property. Disgusting and shameful.

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure. It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🤯 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

Pleased to announce I've been hired to do the marketing for this campaign

Natalie Portman in a mask January 23rd according to mastodon.social/@augieray/11... Actors keeping it real, somewhat ironically? 👏👏👏

I wish I lived where Ingrid does - would love to sing in a choir again, especially Chappell Roan. Sadly Plagueynavia doesn’t believe in science, so that will never happen here.

You know what also causes diabetes in some people? COVID-19. Which the WHO has contributed to by fecking up the airborne messaging - with new patients added every day. But it will get blamed on everything else before the C word.

Grim. Shut it daaaaan instead.

Now more than ever we need people to mask up to help resist fascism. It’s much easier to resist when you have your health. Masking protects your health & the health of others. It shows those in power that you refuse to leave vulnerable people behind. It keeps the resistance inclusive!

Good morning from our new friend by the sink in our kingdom.

1. From lung cancer to climate change, capitalist governments are notoriously slow to recognize and remedy the negative externalities generated by corporate activity. Generative AI is no exception. Large language models are proving a disaster in numerous spheres of public life.

Madrid points to 'positive impact' of migration as it moves to grant 500,000 undocumented people legal status.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of the several insidious things about COVID is that it can do considerable “under the hood” damage that might not be evident for years. I say this not to frighten and paralyze you, but to remind or encourage you to wear a mask and try to have as few infections as possible.

Normally Nipah virus stays locally isolated. All bets are off with COVID damaged immune systems. I really hope this one doesn't explode internationally. www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of those opposition party members is wearing an N95 respirator. Masking is resistance. It’s community care and inclusion. If you want to fight fascism, wearing a respirator is a great place to start. It protects your health and the health of vulnerable community members.

I wouldn’t know where to start with this…

Well, after watching five minutes of Storage Wars for old times’ sake, I can confirm that there’s pretty much nothing worth watching on my new channels. Not even Ancient Aliens :-D

We found a very delicate and pretty new friend by the sink.

How we deal with pesky critters (think you can guess who) who won’t shut up @poisonousratbag.bsky.social @psychicsquirrel.bsky.social @jympton.bsky.social @euroscanner.net

It’s End-of-Foods and my grocery spending is being strictly monitored by His Nootness. He says “accidental chocolate is not permitted”! Grrr.

Dr. Mazer is exactly right. Benn doesn't get to set the parameters by which we call out her unethical experiments and if she doesn't like that, she can stop doing unethical experiments.

For decades, ExxonMobil argued consumers, not oil giants, should take responsibility for fossil fuel pollution. It’s now backing a new climate accounting scheme enabling just that. See the industry docs dating back to the '60s ("Pollution is everybody’s business") and more 👇

Fun evening ahead with my new channels!

Awww - we all need a Godzilla!

Thanks in no small part to your spectacularly botched pandemic response and mixed messaging, faffing around with “military definitions”, the anti-vax movement is now in charge in the US, which has just left your organisation. Plus measles is no longer eliminated in countries including the UK and US.

One “bonus” of the switch is that I now have access once again to all the TV channels I lost when we went over to digital telly a number of years back and I never bothered buying a decoder box because most of the channels were pants. We shall see if things have improved!

We’re switching internet providers in our building today, so I’m expecting an IT support request from my elderly neighbour later today :-D

One of the most difficult things to come to terms with when working in a talking profession (coaching) is that you’re trying to help people improve their lives while your own life is messy af. On the one hand, it means you can relate to a wide range of issues; on the other, you feel like a fraud.

Good morning from our kingdom - outside in Plagueynavia, the snow is here to stay for a while.

“Epidemiological studies have begun to show a concerning trend: individuals with a history of COVID-19 infection are at an elevated risk for developing diabetes, often within months of recovery...” This has actually been known for years, but I’m glad to see more attention on it.
