I think it would have surprised even the most pessimistic if you'd told people during the 2024 campaign that a year into Government Starmer's team would be negatively briefing against the ECHR and Council of Europe for daring to question their assault on trans rights

I’ve had multiple texts asking me to rate my recent GP appointment. I’m so tired.

Bandit is having a wonderful time exploring our office room today. He has sent an email! He has deleted an email! He has muted @echoesanddan.bsky.social mid call! He’s more productive than I am tbh.

We let the kittens out of the lounge over the weekend and when Dan brought me my coffee this morning Bandit came and curled up on my chest and started purring and I may never get out of bed.

Did someone order a kitten?

A photo of a thick cardboard poster tube. Sticking out of one end of the tube are two paws and a kitten’s head. Sticking out of the other end of the tube is a leg and a tail. Another kitten can be seen sitting near the tube.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

Assuming the marginal seats in the next election will be the same seats as the marginal seats in the last election feels like a risky proposition at the moment.

Things the kittens have used as a scratching post so far: the sofa, my pedal board, the back door, a rug. Things they have not used; the scratching post we bought them.

American politics has devolved into shitposting and aura farming

The Frog is owning the president.

This has backfired somewhat in that Jake is now deliberately sending us bad news in order to get kitten pics.
