I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Managed to drink a coffee, take my methylphenidate, and then go back to sleep anyway.
Today's going super great!
Right that's enough self pity, let's get on.

Masterpiece. Now's a great time to watch it, if you haven't ever before.
As every year at Christmas, some Japanese theaters will screen "Tokyo Godfathers" ;o;

Ahh the ibuprofen is starting to kick in, I think I smoothed over the friend upset, Trainboy is chill once more and lovely wonderful husband finished off dinner for me, which was totally edible.
I shall go and see if the cats can be placated with a laser pointer and then I think a Hot Bath & bed.

Oooh heck I've overdone it a bit today, I still need to finish off dinner, I can hear an irritable Trainboy upstairs and the cats are mithering because Clovis broke The Evening Toy when I'd just started playing with them.
I don't quite have the energy for all that.

Her parents bought the house in the 1960s for £21K and now it's worth £1.2 million
It is insane that some people think you should just be able to keep all of that - if you've made a big profit, it is fair you should get taxed on that

I don't think this was actually deliberately published as ragebait, but the entitlement contained within is remarkable and a classic example of the sort of sentiment governments sometimes just have to face down inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...?
We were hit with a £148k inheritance tax bill when mum died at 97 - it's disgusting
Jill Lemon has labelled inheritance tax as 'cruel', 'horrible' and 'unfair'

No plants, the fucking cats eat them.
Well, I have one valiant spider plant in a room that's always kept closed, but that one's dying because I forget to water it...

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The reason the default player chacter name in Baldur's Gate 3 is "Tav" is because the boss, Sven Vincke, has a dog called Gustav.
(I believe Gustav is also the model for Scratch the dog although I'm less sure about that?)

Brings to mind Robert Spitzers admissions to Jon Ronson for 'The Psychopath Test'. Atypical child syndrome has been a popular concept for psychiatry for the life of the DSM, this next edition will pathologise kids who have 'emerging personality disorder traits.'

Just want to say: University of East London was the only uni so far to give out vouchers for a free hot chocolate - WITH cream, chocolate sauce & marshmallows - on their open day.
(Surprisingly impressed with the place overall, extremely good vibes on that campus)

I asked Ben Marcus: given the book's *apparent* lack of structure, how did you know when it was finished?
BM: I knew it was finished once I hated the book, myself, everybody around me, and the very notion of existence itself.
