Lovely to see you again, @seja75.bsky.social . I post a lot less nowadays (though not a complete radio silence), because older, iller, tireder. So, quick cat update instead. Sadly the old guy passed away earlier this year... since when i have been joined by this lad: bsky.app/profile/jane...

Tonight, monsieur, our chef is pleased to present Salmon and Prawn Surprise. Tender flakes of North Atlantic Salmon in a rich salmony gravy, with its garnish of King Prawn. #NorwegianForestCat #catsky #cats #catcanoe (It's his second birthday!)

Writing in the Spectator a few years back, Rod Liddle expressed his hope for the eradication of trans people. Though, obvs, if any trans person expresses anything less than total grief, total respect for the deceased eliminations, we are monsters!

Chris Nolan makes a movie... the Odyssey. He glosses over the awkward fact that his protagonist is canonically a liar, a thief, a rapist, an adulterer, a war criminal and a murderer. But the real problem is the black woman! So 2026!!!

In continuing discourse about the Odyssey: Elon and the muskrats: "There was nothing gay about Homer's work." Me: but Achilles... E&theMRs: "Well, there's nothing trans about Homer." Me: but Achilles... (If you know, you know. Otherwise, ask!)

Omg! Did y'all know Brad Pitt is gay? Well, at least according to Elon Musk and the maga-lites. Wtf? Well, bear with me on this one...

But WHY is it 137? (Only physicists need answer...)

So. Which bit of MY BED are you not getting, mate? #cats #catsky #catcanoe #NorwegianForestCat

So, in Chris Nolan's Odyssey, there's this really cool witchy chick called circe, who goes round turning men into pigs, and im, like: "How could they tell?"

Cat tax... @jessothomson.co.uk

So. Have i got this right? The US, which spent decades derailing climate talks because it rejected the idea that it should compensate developing countries for damage done as a result of its own deliberate CO2 emissions... ...now wants Canada to compensate it for involuntary smoke emissions?

I'm sure it's "unpatriotic," but for max Trumpian discomfort, the obvious and best winner would be Spain...

In the supposedly oh-so-democratic USA, this - replacing a dead senator or congressperson with a close relative is not all that unusual. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lindsey Graham's sister, Darline Graham Nordone, chosen as replacement

The South Carolina governor chose the senator's little sister to serve out the rest of his term after Graham's death on Saturday.

Today, iz my birfday. Am 2. So i iz mostly exposing my belly. It am a most fluffy belly, don't you think? #NorwegianForestCat #cats #catsky #catcanoe

Americans are just the worst when it comes to spelling. I keep seeing media report how #Trump lost an ear but won a war. When, of course, he lost a war, and won an ear!

Oh. FFS! I was today years old when i discovered one of the clearing-up operations mounted by the allies towards the end of wwii was called... ...Operation Blackcock. Suspect that would not get approved today!

A bit alarmed by this hose pipe ban. I have a hose...though not actually used it in years. However, if it is now banned, do i need to hand it in? Or is there some sort of amnesty, like with knives?

No views on what happened to Widdecombe. But i trust police are even now hunting down the author of "located deceased" (in place of "found dead") with a view to charging them with the murder of the English language.

Devon and Cornwall Police said on Friday afternoon that a #murderinvestigation had been launched. “Sadly, 78-year-old Miss Widdecombe was located deceased within the property. She had sustained serious injuries...” #AnnWiddecombe

Interesting. After the demise of the liberal-sdp alliance and creation of the lib dems, lord Owen tried to continue the sdp as standalone... ...until the by-election when they got fewer votes than the Monster Raving loony Party (forerunner of Count Binface).

Ah, yes. Schrodinger's senator.

I’m sorry, but if Mitch McConnell is either brain dead or no longer alive, I think his constituents — and the American people — deserve to know.

Apparently, nigel farage has now triggered a by-election. Makes a change: he's been triggering me for years!

Yanno, the uk used to have a really popular TV programme in which, every week, a well-known media celeb fixed problems for viewers. Jim'll fix it, i believe it was called. Perhaps the US could do something similar. They could call it Trump'll fix it!

Another thick USian...

So, they don't much like the game... Don't like its name... Don't like the format... And when they are losing, they cheat. Three guesses who...

Cat has disagreement with TV. TV loses... #cats #catsky #catcanoe #NorwegianForestCat

I know all those media reporting on Russia's invasion of Ukraine have to mention Crime A. But when are they going to tell us more about Crime B, Crime C, Crime D, etc.?

Well, im calling it Freedumb 250. Because if they're lucky that's how many visitors it will get. And because they're dumb. Note: i spelt dumb with a 'b.' Because that's how it's spelt. Not many American presidents know that... #Freedom250

Interesting. My WhatsApp autocorrect does not recognise california... Is this autocorrect or WhatsApp being a dick?

Load of lightning just off Le Havre, possibly headed for Brighton.
