Mostly running. Some cycling and sea swimming. Fuelled by coffee and plants.

In my quest for minimalism, I have made a relaxing game of balance 🧘 Please try it and let me know what you think? It’s real quick, and I’m proud of this one.

I wouldn’t mind Giovanni only being in pokestops if he was actually at a pokestop. There are at least 10 within radar range of my house and nothing all day.

For the second day running I find myself lying in a field listening to my kids climb trees. No falling asleep today though as I’m solo parenting.

‘This is playing into his hands’/‘this will allow him to play the martyr card’/‘this will help with his fundraising’ are all really bad takes. Criminals should be arrested and charged with crimes.

Not to harp on this, but one man has now coordinated the disruption of a port, two separate attacks on the RNLI, and interference with the border force and the police have no further questions? And the Home Secretary has not noticed?

Raging against the machine at full volume on the commute, now to sit down and do my bit in the machine at work. It’s a tough transition. Made easier because I don’t think healthcare is a top priority machine to rage against.

The UK government will NOT upset the fee fees of right wing bigots ever. No atrocity will draw moral judgment. It started with Gordon Brown apologising to Mrs Duffy and it's constantly escalated. And people are like, "Why won't the police act?" Tom Morello: "Did I stutter?"

One more time: Inheritance tax *is not unique or even uncommon* in being "double taxation". The coffee I just bought was paid for with wages on which income tax and NI had been levied, but was also subject to VAT. Just stop it.

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Welsh trails reminding me I’m old and slow 🤣 That’s a 7:19min/km and an 8:07min/km average pace for two runs. In my defence Welsh trails are fun but unpredictable, one minute you’re on a packed trail, the next you’re in the undergrowth or a boggy hillside with no discernable path to follow.

We’ve come to see some waterfalls in Bannau Brycheiniog, so I started with a run explore looking for this so called hidden gem. To be fair I didn’t see anyone else once I left the marked trails. Beautiful spot. Rest of the run was fun too but my legs didn’t enjoy the overgrown brambles.

Soooo…Jason Arday and Johann Hari are both accused of the same thing. Hari gets multiple book deals and writes a book which is dangerous pill-shaming crap and gets wildly praised, but Jason Arday cannot be allowed to persist and must be fed to the wolves and hounded to death. Qwhite the difference.

It's so blazingly obvious that this is true. A university lecturer being fired for plagiarism would not be national news >99% of the time. It was inflated into one this time purely because it fit into racist "culture war" narratives about "DEI".

Is it important to ban open fires? Yes. Did it need to be an urgent alert? Probably not. Is it as important as stopping fossil fuel use? Of course not. Do that ffs. Quite happy for an urgent alert to say we shouldn’t burn any more fossil fuels though.
