I, also, dislike the changes to the @metoffice.gov.uk app. I wish I'd prevented the update. Ugh.

von Däniken relied on the JAQ (just asking questions) method to promote racist ideas through pseudoarchaeological narratives. These ideas permeated all of his books, were broadcast to and normalized through enormous audiences over decades, and have even found homes in far-right places.
This is a fun read but it doesn’t really reckon with the fact that these theories are inherently racist, rooted in the idea that ancient non-western civilizations *couldn’t* make these structures. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/o...

We're going to run away together tonight, after we steal some of Fanny's fruit cake and mug a big burly policeman with twinkling eyes.

Everyday you wake up and the news is even worse, but don't worry because today there's going to be a budget today at some point, so there will be an extra round of bad news at around lunch time.

You will forget the morning's bad news.

Except the jury thing. Fucking hell, the jury thing.
