I used to work at a good university. Bailed out on VR. It appears to have been the best decision I could have made. Still sane ( according to me)

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Yet still, she finds him repulsive.

I worked with someone from Ashington for many years. Absolutely first-rate guy.

I had forgotten, tbh. It was a long time ago and l have been really quite busy since then.

Just watched the Piers Moron interview. He was running the clock down, obfuscating, bullshitting, anything to stop you getting your points across. It was good, because you'll learn from it, and next time you won't fall into his traps. Keep going!

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

There is a lot more military transporter activity around here in the last couple of days.

It looks a bit blurred to me. Is this what all Swedish churches look like?

I have an opticians appointment in january. I have a cataract forming in my right eye, but when I saw the optician last year, he said it isn't bad enough yet to do anything about it. What with that and the floaters in my eye... they didn't tell me about all this crap when I was a kid.

It was fun watching Starmer not knowing how to react. You could actually see the, "O h... F u u u c k k, h e r e w e g o" car crash scenario going on in slow motion inside his head.
