Starmer would rather book eating psychopath Matt Goodwin get a seat in parliament than another Green MP.

They're cowards, and they're enabling the hard right.

Not everything in my life is going great right now

But at this current moment in time my husband is playing video games on the couch while I flip flop between reading, Tiktok and idle games and both my cats are resting on the couch with us. I couldn't have created a better moment.

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

I'm decent with my money and earn a generally good wage, but nothing but new JSA payments since November left me especially keen this month

Reminder they've partnered with ICE before (in 2020) and fired the internal whistleblower who released it to the press

Stumbled onto a Industrial playlist. Have now spent a better half of today reaching flow state that I haven't achieved since text based RPG writing in high school.

New polling: majority of Thames Water customers want Ofwat to reject creditors’ proposal for the utility New polling has revealed that 54% of Thames Water customers think Ofwat should reject a deal proposed by Thames Water's creditors, and put it into special administration.

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse.

πŸ™‹We asked its customers what should happen next.

54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector.

Read the full results here.

An annoying thing I am noticing in job listings.

Remote role, unless you live in London (I do), then we're hybrid and you need to come in 2 days a week.

I pay a ton of money for my home in London, don't make me leave it.

Behind but major flaw in ST5

Holly would be a product of stranger danger. She would have had NEVER EVER EVER EVER talk to a stranger drilled into her brain from birth.

Strange man approaching her in the library? She would have never made friends.

Honestly 2025 was downhill after my honeymoon in May. I was SO dissatisfied with my job that I never got back into things after I took 3 weeks off. Probably early stages of burnout.

If I wasn't so bitter about the drop in salary I've had to take, and the lack of settlement money I would be grateful

Final day of unemployment tomorrow, so let's review if I achieved anything.

1 - Sort of. Finished 2, DNF'd 1. Still reading last.
2 - 9/30 hour course. I want to get back into this.
3 - 1 time. There's nothing I want to see.
4- βœ…
5 - Sort of. I find it hard when it's cold, and it has been.

"in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

- Is it SINCERE
- is it CATHARTIC
- was it FUN TO MAKE
- is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly"

Went to see My Neighbour Totoro on the West End last night.

Dare I say, more magical than the original film because of the puppets.

I hope you're right. I don't have the same positive outlook and I would have liked to see some sign of improvement BEFORE instead

Yeah no shit I understand fiction is fiction. But I don't think the masses understand. Hockey is getting a public perception makeover that it does not deserve.

The popularity of Heated Rivalry is very interesting to me, as a hockey hating Canadian. It is SO fictionalised.

Hockey players are a bunch of rich white boys, which leads to exactly the type of behaviour you'd expect. Hockey Canada has an internal fund to pay off sexual assault victims . . .

Funemployment (yes I found a job, I start in January) means going full in on the Christmas cooking and baking.

βœ… Crispy Crunch (cereal treats)
βœ… Cinnamon swirl snickerdoodles
Sugar cookie bars
Scottish Shortbread
βœ… Homemade Cranberry Sauce
βœ… Get ahead gravy

Do I add another cookie to the list? πŸ€”

I understand that teams are busy right now and things are stressful.

But gosh the mistakes, and then incompetence leading to confusion I've received from customer support when trying to correct.

Just let me spend my money and provide the thing I've purchased, can't believe it's so difficult.

Everyone freaking out about Friends leaving Netflix...

BUY THE DVD
GET A DVD PLAYER

Physical media is the only (legal) way to ensure you always have access to your favourite media

As opposed to extremely serious parties who base themselves wholly on real issues like, say, Reform who claim that all of the country's ills are caused by a few thousand refugees and want to solve this by deporting every Brown person in the country.
