In this omnidisastrous world we live in, maybe there could be some good stuff in 2026? Miracles can happen. Yes, I'm holding on to my childish naïvety.

Have run out of words for the horror of what's happening in 🇺🇸
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Beautifully put Mr Russell. That's exactly how I feel about fascists. And Reform UK. And the Tories.

More than anything else, I object to this president stealing our time and attention. We can’t even have a Sunday morning without hearing about some insane thing he said and wondering if that insane thing will become real because he’s insane.

Reasons to be cheerful:
Went to the gym and they forgot to put their doofdoofdoof music on.
Plus, made an excellent Guinness cake. (Yes, I know one counteracts the other... I'm only human..)

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

RIP Terence Stamp. I met him once when working at Piccadilly Waterstone's. His modesty was touching. He wanted to order a particular book and carefully wrote his name on a piece of paper. I somehow managed to keep my cool and pretend I didn't know who he was. What a gent.
