A tax barrister sued me personally for £8m for libel after we linked him to a tax avoidance scheme.

Today the High Court struck out the claim, granted summary judgment, and ruled it was a SLAPP. The judgment is highly critical.

Don't suffer imagined troubles

Stress and anxiety, Seneca said, are usually products of the imagination, not reality. “We are in the habit of exaggerating, or imagining, or anticipating, sorrow,” he wrote. "We suffer more from imagination than from reality."

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

In my opinion, one of the perfect songs. It doesn't get better than this.

It's funny how you misremember song lyrics.

For instance.

Starry, starry night,
Paint your pallet red with blood,
Nail their eyeballs to a post,
AND BURN THEIR EMPIRES TO ASH!

I come from a non communicative family. You only call someone if there’s a problem. Never for a chat.
My dad called me once. In my entire life. Only because his sister told him to. He spoke to my husband. Not to me.

I've told people I need to get my feet up and rest because

'I keep my brain in my little toe, so taking the pressure off helps me think'.

Same with wriggling and stretching toes and ankles. ..

Also wriggling my toes helps my digestion.

I don't make the rules.

If you have two cats, one of them will be the best cat ever just chill and causes no problems and the other one will be an entire menace to society every waking moment.

It's a total crapshoot if you get a third.
