Billionaire, genius, sexual dynamo. I'm none of these. Liverpool born, now living on the Isle of Man. Socialist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, pro-love, woke AF, atheist, philhellene. Oh, and not that it's any business of yours, but I'm very much taken 💫💫

Well, if we are introducing ourselves formally, this is me. I've been working in IT for over 35 years, terminally geeky (obvs), and too clever for my own good. Very left wing, anti-fascist, anti-racist pro-LGBTQ+

For World Mental Health Day, I wanted to share a bit of my journey.

Two years ago, I came off anti-depressants. Things were going well for me and I was in a better position to deal with life's challenges. Over the last half-year in particular, my situation has changed.

I made an appointment 1/5

1. Make a recent convict the star guest of your annual conference, despite her conviction being about calling for a group of people to be murdered. 'Just hurty words/free speech'.

2. Then getting [rightly] very upset when someone wants to murder you.

Yes, it's the latest 'Hurty Words Update'.

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

NEW: Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.

What’s the chance the madman announces his own peace prize now?

The “Donald J Trump Peace Prize” incoming…

Trump has been rejected for this year's Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel chair, when asked about it, pointed out that the committee makes its awards with "courage and integrity".

I think that explains Trump's rejection.

If they had a Left wing person on Question Time every single week like they have a Reform person, the polls in the UK would be completely different.

But of course they only put a Left wing person on once every blue moon to prevent this.

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Farage is saying all teachers are Marxists. They're not. They just teach that we should care for one another. But that offends his fascist instincts. The result is he is turning on a profession that teaches about compassion and empathy - because he loathes it. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10...

Nigel Farage’s declaration of war on teachers is a war on compassion, empathy and kindness

According to The Guardian, Nigel Farage, speaking at an event at a private Christian college in Michigan, USA, has accused teachers in the UK of “poisoning our kids” and predicted that they would go o...

In the 1950s, National Geographic wanted Kodachrome nature photography that really popped in print. One trick was to put foreground subjects (hikers, etc.) in bright colors; it was called the "red shirt school". Dick Lasher's Pinto makes this the greatest red shirt school photo of all time.

Tomorrow, we will talk about this photo.

A red Ford Pinto hatchback angles across a narrow gravel forest service road, a blue enduro motorcycle on a rear hitch carrier. Tall firs frame the view. Beyond them, a towering ash cloud from a pyroclastic density flow billows skyward. Photo by Richard Kent Lasher, May 18, 1980.
