Thank goodness for Friday. As I’m not around tomorrow, here’s an early #caturday picture of Pixel showing that we both had a similar reaction when the alarm went off this morning. #cats #catsofbluesky #tgif

The worst drivers are those wearing hats. Trust me. Next time you see spectacularly bad driving there's a fair chance the driver is wearing a hat. Overheats the brain or something.

My husband has dementia and all conversations are on a child like level apart from ones with the cat . His last bit of brain power is reserved for the furry creature and I am jealous of the cat.

Happy #caturday from Pixel. She keeps threatening violence unless I open the cat treat box. #CatsOfBlueSky #cats #mainecoon

A grid showing how different IT roles (Developers, Designers, Project Managers, QA, and Sysadmins) perceive each other. The matrix format uses humorous images for each intersection - like developers seeing designers as children with crayons, QA seeing everyone as problematic, and sysadmins being viewed as either chaotic or mysterious by others. The images range from professional photos to memes, creating a satirical take on tech workplace stereotypes and interdepartmental relationships

Democracy Dies in a Rebrand Democracy doesn’t die in darkness—it dies in a rebrand, as watchdogs are neutered into lapdogs

This is how modern oligarchs work. They don't burn books—they bury them in content. They don't silence the news—they reframe it as entertainment. They don't kill publishing—they make it appealing to a four-quadrant audience.

Good news alert: we're dying less. For England and Wales, 2024 had the lowest standardised mortality rate on record - beating 2019 by a whisker.

Anyone know of some UK public health #science resources explaining the current #flu peak? Wondering if the flu jab wasn’t very well targeted, too low uptake or just bad luck? Thanks.

Trump Encourages Putin to Attack NATO Members At a rally on Saturday, the former president announced he would tell the Russians “to do whatever the hell they want” to states delinquent in their bills.

A cat holding a grudge.
