Just to make it very clear where I stand—I am a huge fan of vaccination, it has saved literally millions of lives and is a force for great good in this world

I’m currently in a vaccine trial and volunteer with vaccine involvement work (ask me about involvement!)

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk…

Emails highlight Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon relationship
New documents show the pair discussing travel arrangements and UK politics in messages from 2018.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

An outfit a day, November 15th

My beloved spouse went shopping and upon his return:

“He said that Christmas was a humbug, as I live!”

Hahahaha!
It’s Christmas lights switch on today in town so I am appropriately dressed…

One thing I loved about Frankenstein (2025) was that Victor is pointedly addressed as Baron Frankenstein NOT Dr Frankenstein

Reminded me of Andrew not a doctor Wakefield

We watched Frankenstein—I read the book* (memorably) one weird incredibly hot summer largely sitting in graveyards aged about 19 and accept it as an interpretation…
It’s a beautiful film—and I forgive the wolves—though it could have done with more hammers?
* to be clear I’ve read it more than once

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

I know we love to do the Torment Nexus bit, but there was literally a Black Mirror episode about a company that simulated your deceased loved ones via scraping their social media. Spoiler: it doesn't go well.

With all the shady evidence coming out (with more to follow), MAGA is pivoting from “It's a hoax! Donald Trump had no relationship with Jeffrey Epstein!” to “Yeah, what’s the big deal about trafficking 15-year-olds anyway?”

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"

"This is sociopathic behaviour"

"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"

"I'm not a fan of Trump"

Just write out "fucked", for goodness sake.
The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.

But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic

We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS

DEFEND THEM!

“Didn’t you want to break free of this bondage?”

“Why didn’t you have duvets???”

these are all valid questions and genuinely—it was weird how long people held out against duvets

For reasons I ended up explaining to my 18 year old how we used to make beds when I was a child in the 1970s
With sheets and blankets and a counterpane over the top…

They looked at me as if I was making it up

“But weren’t you like, pinned to the bed?”
“Didn’t it take ages to make every day?”
