Many years ago, at O'Reilly ETech conference, there was a game of Werewolf. I decided to play 'the crazy villager' and just disrupt everything with incorrect logic and statements. Can't think why it's come to mind this morning... (tagging @kevinmarks.com @suw.bsky.social who I think were there?)

Richard E Grant, seen here, is going to have "I'ma traitor" following him for the rest of his life.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.

Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Labour Unions

This week's album going on heavy rotation in the cassette player is going to be Smokie's Greatest Hits. Wow and flutter, limited frequency bands, the basic paper speaker cone in the cassette player door... All the formative sounds of my music right there. Lets crank it up until it distorts

I do think the value of Italy taking the Sanremo winner to Eurovision is that it's a song Italy chose for Italy with no ESC consideration, not through a separate contest with international voters choosing Italy's song for them.

1933 King Kong in #SNLUK, nice to have a Yankees/Mets joke in there, but the Mets didn't show up until the 60s. Maybe Yankees/Giants could have worked, but then it's American vs National League, and that's an even bigger kettle of fish (the Trolley Dodgers can stay in Brooklyn; you don't count).

Callie and Kelday, the newly rescued chaos cats, had a few matts of hair. So, err, some help was needed.

Callie (a black tortie cat) is in the process of being groomed. There is a pile of cat hair in front of her that looks to be the same size as Callie.

Meet Kelda and Callie, the new Chaos Demons, who are coming to stay with us. Amazingly, given their size, they are six years old. Callie (the darker floof) is a quiet and systematic explorer and will head-bump all the time. Kelda (tortie floof) is tiny and has two speeds “full on” and “sleeping.”

A scraggly black tortoishell called Kelda (l) and a slightly more serene chocolate tortoiseshell called Callie (r) trying to be a crown on their owner's head.

Twice in the last 35 years the Government has launched inquiries into behaviour of the press in the wake of public outrage over intrusion and scandals. Twice it’s been recommended statutory regulation is the only way forward. Twice the government has bottled out to keep newspaper owners inside.

It has to be a personal choice on a question like this, and while there's a lot to choose from(when you had to borrow cassette tapes from the local library in the 80s, Greatest Hits were really good picks) I'm going with one I owned then and now. The Shadows.
