Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Saw this in a video by @turnleftmedia.co.uk and thought it had to be shared. Clearly the UK's NHS is falling victim to privatization from both Labour AND Reform... and should be taken from Wes Streeting's grubby little paws asap. join.greenparty.org.uk

He doesn't have the name, but he still has the money and the power, so stop insisting Prince Pedo "should do the right thing"

If you want to support Robin Ince, you could buy his album of poetry, with music by Rachel Taylor-Beales. I have a copy and it's a great listen, especially the currently appropriate "Weapons of Empathy"

Want to support Robin in the short term? Buy his book of poetry, ICE CREAM FOR A BROKEN TOOTH. flapjackpress.co.uk/shop/ice-cre...

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

I see Kishwer Khan is doing the rounds of the interview circuit dementedly screaming about betrayal. Good to know the calibre of person needed to run the whole of the UK's Equality law

Operations and treatments cut back as NHS orders England hospitals to save money. Thousands of patients could have to wait longer for treatment. Misery, premature death to meet arbitrary fiscal rules, appease bond markets, failure to tax the rich.

Current feelings...

Perchta from Germanic folklore visits houses during the 12 Days of Christmas. She leaves silver coins for those who have been good, and slits the bellies of those who have not, stuffing them with straw. #FolkloreThursday

Elon "Ahab" Musk and his monomaniacal pursuit of Mars... his red whale...

What's ominous is all of the trusted women of color who know a lot about AI are saying that a crash is on the way and the white guys are pretending they are taking it to the moon. This means that a crash is definitely on its way.

Currently listening to All the Best! and singing along whilst cooking food. I am currently doing my best backing harmony vocal to Silly Love Songs and grating cheese for the pasta. A silly, happy moment (unless you're my partner, who has to listen whilst hiding in the next room)

I hate … HATE that I can no longer enjoy a lil quick funny video without instantly thinking “is this AI?”

Nothing says getting into the festive spirit like going online to shout at some biscuits

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

If the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.

Keir Starmer - "I’ve always wanted a Labour government but I’ve never worried about the future of our country under a Tory government." The words of a man so insulated from the harm done by the Tories he felt no compulsion not to continue the harm not being done to him and his.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Have you ever seen such a beautiful sight

Ending the day watching James Baldwin being asked about prejudice , “it is not a matter of prejudice - it is a matter of cowardice”

No wonder Reform had a slew of full page ads in most major newspapers recently. (There are no spending limits outside of election periods.) x.com/steven_swinf...

I wish more people were aware of this. Considering the scale of the threat, the media's near-silence is both remarkable and culpable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A Thailand-based crypto investor has handed a record-breaking £9 million to Reform UK, shortly before Nigel Farage used media interviews to plug his crypto firm and promise lower taxes and deregulation on the industry bylinetimes.com/2025/12/04/c...

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Happy 60th Birthday to the Beatles' Classic mid-period album, Rubber Soul 💖 💖

The world outside is frightful, so I'm inside listening to one of my favourite albums of the year.

I was looking forward to playing the new season of Fallout 76. Instead I got to participate in one of the greatest fuck-ups ever. Bethesda never changes...

Welcome to New York

One thing I've noticed - too many people don't acknowledge the need to re-read sentences trying different cadences until it clicks - they believe that reading means you just barrel through one time and if the sentence didn't make sense the first time you just process it as a "word salad."

PSA don't forget to make sure you have enough medication to get through the holidays, just checked mine on a whim and if i hadn't by the time i'd have run out i'd be on sertraline withdrawal over christmas

Can't sleep. so instead I'm doing a vinegar and baking soda (seperately) wash on the towels, and some tidying whilst listening to a podcast or two
