There's a joke that's possible where there's an anarchist in a bed shop and the punchline is "No kings(ize), no mattress (masters)" but I'm not putting the energy into making it happen because this world doesn't deserve my genius.

Tbh I always kinda assumed Esther Rantzen was a dick. A quick look at her Wiki doesn't show anything obvious. She was pro-assisted- death, so it's a shame she wasn't allowed that dignity.

Not every toxic workplace behaviour is unlawful. But that doesn’t make it healthy or acceptable. Which workplace behaviour do you think needs to go? 👀 #WorkplaceCulture #EmploymentLaw #WorkplaceRights

I'm in a beer garden and a couple seem to be in a date. One of them just came back from the lav and said "Can we kiss now?" And then kissed a couple of times and continued talking like humans. Excellent praxis.

What happens when the law forces complex questions of sex and gender into rigid binary categories? At #ELLA2026, I spoke about where this leaves trans, non-binary and intersex people following For Women Scotland. How do we move beyond the binary?

Anyone ever had a mole removed? There's one in particular that pisses me off. Apparently the NHS don't usually remove moles that aren't melanoma. Quick looks suggests that paying for it privately would cost me about the same as a GP appointment costs the NHS. Still feels wrong though.

So Reform have launched an app that tracks small boats arriving in the UK in real time, and already their supporters are complaining that it's boring because there are hardly any boats. They are SO close to getting it.
