I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Pri-mark or Pree-mark.

Primmed?!

Ha. Autocorrect changed that to primed!

Scene from #wartornPortland yesterday. As you can see, things have gotten so dire that even our babies are being trained in amphibious operations.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Horrible and incredibly short-sighted decision. Absenteeism, pressure on hospitals, long covid...death. And terrible messaging: restricting eligibility suggests reduced risk.

Up to half of patients coming to some pharmacies are being turned away because they are not eligible.

It won't be long, gang. And your dad will be on his way home. And he'll have missed Halloween, so you get to tell him all the spooky things you saw around the neighbourhood! 👻🎃🧹

What's that saying, 'pennywise, pound foolish'? Or is it the other way round, I can never remember.

You'd think they'd want to take pressure off the NHS, which as we know NEVER has capacity problems in winter season... 🧐🤦

If carer goes down sick, the loved one is likely too. It makes no sense.

Think you'd qualify as a carer to get flu jab, but the qualifications are ridiculous this year. Booked for flu jab, along with mum, but she doesn't qualify for Cov jab despite diabetes, as they've made it over 75s. And it's stupid to restrict Cov jab so much, when they are prob sitting on old stock.
