I was going to do some work this weekend but yesterday I was too tired & too busy & today I am too lazy & have just been given a glass of wine. Oh no.

You should be able to get rich being silly online instead of being evil online, that would solve a lot of problems

Landmark British photographer Martin Parr dies aged 73

“Farage has suggested that it’s inconceivable that anyone could recall such events of more than four decades ago. I would simply ask: can a victim of such abuse ever forget?…I recognise his walk every time I see it on TV as that same walk that used to approach me” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The seafood was especially memorable because it was a delayed visit to the Crinan seafood bar after an earlier trip to the area had to be cut short due to a nasty eye/campfire accident. We were only going to go for dinner but they had a room available so we stayed over. Frances Ryan checked us in

36 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️ 🎢 #AcademicSky 🇨🇦

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

He tells her that the Earth is flat He knows the facts & that is that In altercations fierce & long She tries her best to prove him wrong But he has learned to argue well He calls her arguments unsound & often asks her not to yell. She cannot win. He stands his ground The planet goes on being round.

Two cures for love: 1. Don't see him. Don't phone or write a letter. 2. The easy way: Get to know him better. Wendy Cope

If you have anybody that is hard to shop for this holiday season why not get an incredibly comfortable high quality t-shirt with some shitposty bullshit on it that will make them laugh and they would like wearing? There is still time to get some. Everyone says they get compliments on them! 🫡

I have studiously avoided doing any work this weekend, making it the first time since September 15th that I haven't worked.

Anyway, off to design some learning content about transactional analysis & why parent-child interactions between adults are generally unhelpful ...

Probably too late to post this but my son is at Shake illustration and art fair with his work until 5 this evening. It’s at Shredenhams in Bristol, two quid to get in. He’s c.lockhart.ist on instagram if you want to check out his work.

People are very hard on young people on here, lack of critical thinking, lack of responsibility etc, and then you see something like this and it all makes a different kind of sense.

I’m quite enjoying the 180 turn on a six pence from “you’ve wrecked the economy and created a black hole” to “there was no black hole and this is even worse”.

Not going to lie, I would probably just carry on as normal, but my two young men - one excluded because of disability & one because of mental health - would actually be able to live & thrive.

One thing to know about Magistrates is that the qualifications for becoming one are: 1) be aged between 18-74, 2) be literate, and 3) be ‘of good character’ (no previous convictions or bankruptcy) If you’re up for it, you can help beat bias in the system by entering it

We dont have a turkey, we have a large cock.

I'm hearing criticisms of the end to the two child limit, because it was done just to mollify Labour backbenchers, at a cost of £billions. I remember another govt delivering a referendum on EU membership, just to mollify restive backbenchers. That's costing way, way more... A little perspective?

Britain is a country where the ruling class is utterly determined to convince you that people not only don’t deserve nice things, they don’t deserve anything at all.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.

Alrighty, are we having a Blackpool drinking game? #Strictly
