Why else would a tech firm pay exorbitant amounts of money to politicians et al with as much technical skills as a house brick?

The corruption is in plain sight for all to see.

COVID - in my bedroom
Time to load up a zoom!
Doing a work meeting
With my PJs as a greeting!

Did anyone else wake up and trepidly check their phone notifications to see if US / Israel had committed another awful genocide?

What has the world become?!

#Prompt: #Fly

Sometimes I think it would be cool to fly.

But then again it sounds like a lot of faff.

So even if I could, I probably wouldn't.

New research indicates the commonly used sweetner erythritol is damages blood vessels in your brain.

As if it wasn't restrictive enough trying to healthily control type 2 diabetes with diet!!!

Under the blanket I cower,
The storm has taken down the power.
Sooner or later
We'll use the generator.
Been in darkness for the past hour!

Lost In A Theatre

*Anybody Have a Map?*
I'm lost, like a blind dove
Maybe *Tomorrow* I'll find a gap
Out of the *Seasons of Love*

I know you'll *Wait For Me*
Till these songs are no more,
But, then again, *This Is Me*
So I'll *Close Every Door*

Look at the asterisked words!

41.8 metres of poetry, divine!
Wait, hold on. Surely thats fake‽
I can't write a poem with 41.8 lines!

Apparently Putin was last seen in public 10 days ago, where he didn't seem at all well...

...is it too optimistic to put the Bollinger on ice ready?

Putin is coughing and croaking. This is what happens if he dies:

By my 8 year old daughter aided by my 18 year old son:

Cats live with witches
Anna the witch has one
Under her witch's hat.
Love me love me purred mittens the cat
Daft little cat, meowing.
Ruby Anna's friend loves mittens
One cat sat with the two witches
No one can win a fight with us!

Today I went with my 18 year old son to a visit day to Manchester Metropolitan University; his first choice for starting in September.

How did I become old enough to have a child going to uni?!

They Call Me Lavender

They call me lavender,
Similar to the flower.
It's who I am, they say.
Word for my rainbow ways,
A dictionary for Polari.
Lavender, they call me.

My 8yo daughter may self-combust with delight when she hears that there is a Labubu film coming out!

I predict a standard kid's film storyline and Pop Mart cashing in on a "movie" range that costs twice as much as standard!!!

BBC News - Labubu film is official with Paddington director at the helm:
