Manchester Airport emailed me to let me know that T2 West parking will now be signposted P3. Yep, P3 for T2. C3PO is not happy.

Cory Booker has been speaking in Senate as a protest against the government for over 17 hours now. That's quite a feat. A real pity that the Republican response is likely to be:

Let us have more of this, and less division and hate because someone once said that man over there will do a bad thing because he's different, so best to despise him. ‘A common humanity’: the British families who tended graves of German soldiers www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

‘A common humanity’: the British families who tended graves of German soldiers

Across the country men and women have cared for the resting places of their enemy’s fallen, finding peace and hope

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

It's been a while since I watched 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'. I currently feel like the title alone is a description of my life.

I think I'm in need of a decent sleep. This morning I tried to get out of my car with the seat belt fastened. It's an interesting two-second experience.

So terribly sad. I will miss Helen's intellect, kindness and talent. She was a special person I am proud to have known.

I despair. How did we ever get to a point where people have given up showing basic respect, kindness and compassion for others? It costs nothing, and hurts no-one. Teachers now risking their school's funding by calling Maria 'Maria', or Robert 'Robert'. Instead they will have to deadname children.

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

There's something perverse about a system where we spend so much time trying to get grant money rather than doing research. Remember that every failed grant application is time we never get back, and actual research is what makes a difference to people's lives, not attempts to secure funding for it.

I don't have that many followers yet, but wanted to shout out for Sequoia Books. Great little independent publisher churning out some smashing books.
