I’ve listened to a few podcasts on this Ceuta thing now and the more I hear, the more I think it was fully organised by the likes of Russia or Israel. The more unstable Europe is, the better it is for them. Also…I see how folk fall down mad rabbit holes. I’m probably in one right now.
Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.
This is brilliant, worth 40 mins of your time.

I've just added another 25 paintings to the print shop I'm trying out after a year of no income, which brings the total number of paintings there now to 50. I'm not yet committed to it, but if it goes well I will add more paintings. #SpéirGhorm fineartamerica.com/profiles/4-l...

I'm approaching the anniversary of the last time I received any kind of income. Having to cancel my annual sale of original paintings and close my print shop, it's been not great for an unpaid carer. So over the next couple of weeks you'll see me push unsold paintings and try out some print options.
It just rained for about 15 seconds then stopped. Not so much a cool down as throwing water on a sauna heater.
After whining about them for years, I have cracked and got a Ring style doorbell. Mainly to stop the absolute weapon who keeps letting their dog chase our cats and allow them to shit in the garden. I am very much looking forward to finding out who it is.
I was on the @mrjamesob.bsky.social show this morning, and a pleasant experience it was too. I’m kicking myself now as I didn’t sign off with “love to the family”
I will never get bored of watching this man dig his own hole deeper and deeper. I hope he is reelected so the standards investigation can fuck him up for good.

Head of buying at Flying Tiger: “Anyone got any new product ideas?” Kevin the product innovation guy who has a fascination with Hitler: “A toothbrush holder shaped like a mouse?” “Sounds good Kevin but you’re not going to make it look like Hitler again are you?” “I promise I won’t…”
I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

He’s absolutely off his rocker. I wouldn’t wish Measles or Long Covid on anyone but for him, I’ll make an exception for both.

This has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Got home at a daft time of the morning, fell asleep on the sofa and woke up to this cosy boy wanting belly tickles. It’s nice to go away but it’s also nice to be home.
Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
Putting whatever else is wrong with Depp to one side, mid summer feels like an odd time to release this. Everything Scrooge is winter, no?
