The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

And honestly I don't give a fuck if it's popular or not. It's going to make a lot of kids' lives better. That's the point of government. Not an opinion poll.

Still angry after seeing a gambling machine as a toy for kids in Smyths.
This isn't a toy, it's a gateway to a life of poverty.

Apple make a trailer, in English, with the voices of the Beatles. It gets a dubbed version in another language, this uses not the voices of the Beatles. Youtube autodubs that back into English coz we're watching from UK. This uses AI voices that are not the Beatles and it's insane.

Getting to the end of a 15 hr audiobook about Talking Heads thats been a slog to the end.
The gist of the book is:
- Byrne *might* have Aspergers and that might be the reason he f'd everyone
- The rest of the band were just competent players who never progressed to be masters of their instruments

We all know we’ve entered the “they’re banning Christmas” season now poppy rage is over on social media.
But I didn’t expect actual newspapers would take the confected outrage by anonymous far-Right Twitter accounts and turn them into “news” stories!
But here we are in 2025🤷🏼♀️
