It is also important to point out that being a billionaire is incredibly bad for you. It sends people absolutely insane. It is not personally healthy to amass that amount of money/power.

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

I’ve managed to re-write the lost pages, and I’m not sure it is as good as my first pass, but it is what it is. On to the next scene.

Heading to London for the last @totoroshow.bsky.social of Cast 3 (West End 1) today, and hanging around for the first performance of Cast 4 (West End 2) on Tuesday. Sad to see old friends go, happy for new friends to join, and delighted to have a couple of reprobates from the Barbican returning.

Few will mourn leader of β€˜evil’ regime Ali Khamenei, says UK defence secretary John Healey warns of β€˜very real and rising threat’ from Tehran as US and Israeli military action divides political opinion

Maybe so. But maybe more will mourn the 100+ dead children at that girls’ school in Minab.

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

I’m no longer on Instagram, and obviously this place is a very different beast, but I’m super tempted to post a picture of the macaroni cheese I’ve baked for dinner.

Yeah, you’re not wrong. Fingers crossed for a functional country, eh?

My pet theory is that a lot of Labour had their brains cooked during Covid from the various WhatsApp groups they’re in, marinated in Twitter discourse for too long, and they just cannot see what they’ve become. Maybe this will be a wake up call, but I think the electorate have already left them.

Goodwin’s whole β€˜the progressives were told how to vote’ thing is very weird. Who told them? Who else would they vote for? Certainly not Reform. People were told to vote for every party by every party. What people do with their vote is their business.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Door on the Sea by Caskey Russell. A great adventure, and the sort of book that utterly defies categorisation - which is exactly the type of book I love.
