A 33% approval rating is bad, right? 😎

Good morning, and welcome to Friday! Does anyone else wake up, and reach for the news thinking “what is the orange baboon doing now?” apple.news/AOBI7hcZzRJu...

Made me laugh xx

Lovely to see my image on the front of Somerset Life magazine. I was very excited to get my copy today. It's always lovely to get published but the front page is really exciting.

My OH bought a chainsaw. Opened the box, looked at the instructions, closed the box and sold it. Without a shadow of doubt, one of the most sensible decisions he ever made. (Marrying me, obviously, is one of the others.)

He is like an untalented street entertainer who thinks he is brilliant. Seems to be a thing with Reform. Andrea Jenkyns et al.

Flyer has been ordered.

To everyone celebrating across England. From Colchester to Manchester, Newcastle to Newhaven, King's Lynn to King's Cross. Happy St George's Day!

Having sold Brexit in lies you’d think they would have learned !! Charlatans all reform

The criticism is starting to get to him. He’s not psychologically capable of dealing with it.

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

Is he a false prophet?🫢He does not seem to be able to tell what is going to happen next in the war sage.

Something shifted for me overnight and I can’t now “unsee” it. I think Starmer needs to go. A steady accumulation of misjudgments, in policy and personnel. Too many to blame all on poor advice, bad luck, or difficult circs. I thought he’d be a safe pair of hands; but, now I think it’s weakness 🧵.

Right. Best go design stuff before all corporates decide that after decades of torturing designers with incremental fuckery and changes they can JUST USE AI and that shit will be “good enough” cos it’s too hard to change and they don’t have to pay or deal with an actual human

Trump just accidentally filmed a campaign ad for Democrats. He told Virginia voters that if they pass fair redistricting maps, the GOP will lose the House and Democrats will actually pass legislation. Don’t threaten us with a good time, Donald.

A lot of tech nerds including me hate Windows because of its closed model: less documentation, little direct kernel communication, system bloat, and perhaps most importantly, you do not truly own the operating system. Also a lot of the features that Linux gives for free are gated behind Windows Pro

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax. Please don't share.

Good man! Things you love to see!!!

🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄 We now have an entire media who would rather see a Farage govt, leading to the demise of the NHS and an alliance with the far right US Christian Nationalist fuckers than support the govt we elected And its drift towards EU alignment Putin must be laughing his head off.

www.thewrap.com/creative-con... “There’s a special place in hell for people who only care about themselves and don’t care about the effect on others,” host Ana Navarro says. I agree!!!

🚫 Russian Lie: "European leaders are considering the option of temporarily lifting sanctions against Russia - following the example of the USA". Such videos are being spread by the bot network "Matryoshka".

Farage will deal with the racists, misogynists and homophobes in his ‘party’, he’ll promote them to his cabinet.

An Iranian gunboat has attacked a container ship 15 nautical miles off Oman.

In not very important news we now (at long last) have a cat again. She's a rescue cat about 5 years old we think. Say hello to Nova. 😻

My doctor: Do you engage in any physical activity? Me: Does sex count? My doctor: Yes, sex counts. Me: Then no, none at all…

"Legitimate concerns" is just a euphemism for "legitimising hate"

Occam's Kazoo.

Ugh you know when you get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach Just got text from ScatMan asking if I’m home (at 16h) Just why? Think I’m going to leave on unread and then respond tomorrow morning at 7h with a “oui”! Wish I didn’t let these people steal so much of my mental energy

Fuck it. I’m not going to get to my meeting now. And there is nothing else to do!

We’ve just seen a white fox walking up the road. Our neighbour says he’s seen it a couple of times… exciting!

I make sweary things cos *gestures at every fucking thing since 2019 wildly* All available on Etsy. Which is also fucked these days & full of dead eyed soulless “cute” airbrushed AI monstrosities as useless as tut from a wintry beachfront arcade Dippyfishcards.etsy.com #bsnm #fuckAI #mhhsbd

It’s on mornings like this where it becomes clear why I have SO MANY GRUMPY ARTWORKS… Here are some that are for sale. But not selling because Etsy have *checks notes* oh yeah enshittified their process too and oh god I am so tired Fuck it all cards Dippyfishcards.etsy.com #bsnm #etsy #mhhsbd

Good morning. I just ended up swearing at Barclay’s AI assistant several times because I’m so sick of everything in life being made inaccessible and so much more shit due to AI. The enshittification of life is really getting me down. SO MUCH WASTED TIME AND ENERGY FOR SIMPLE TASKS. Fuck tech bros

Definitely worth a click
