Happy 80th Birthday to Debbie Harry! In 1982 she spoke to Sue Lawley about Blondie, going into acting and whether or not she was the daughter of Marilyn Monroe!

#OnThisDay 1995: What would the world look like in 2025? Tomorrow’s World predicted that the “world wide web” would flourish but be taken over by “business barons.”

The government is literally not collecting actual inflation data anymore. They’re just estimating what they think inflation is. They “suddenly” changed this in May 2025. Right before the tariffs started getting collected. How much more obvious can they make it for you guys?

#OnThisDay 1977: Thanks for the Memory - The Viewer's View asked people what they thought about television. This woman was likely approached for a snappy vox pop, but ended up delivering something closer to a dramatic monologue.

Prepping for a funeral with a lady whose mum died suddenly and she mentioned my mask: "Oh my daughter says I should wear one of those. I've got bronchiectasis and heart problems that I got after I was ill during covid". It just slipped out: "Actually we are still during Covid"

How many more people in Gaza need to be killed, injured or starved by Israel, until the Government does the right thing and brings in widespread sanctions on Israel? That means sanctions on arms, on trade and on the individuals responsible for this genocide.

Annual gas inspection. He arrives in & proceeds to tell me how his father in law just died after getting a Covid infection while in hospital & how all the family now have Covid & the funeral is tomorrow. Family member just died due to Covid. Family all now infected. No mask.

The National Insurance Fund Account has a surplus of £86.4bn. Plenty of resources to increase pensions, benefits, compensate the 1950s women. Govts raid it to fund NIC cuts for the rich, NIC holidays in freeports, and general tax cuts for the rich. gov.uk/government/pub…

Prognostic Chats I’ve lost count of the number of insane conversations I’ve had like this with trades people. That’s why I have 3 large hepa air purifiers downstairs, 2 upstairs, plus several medium-sized ones I can move around when the occasion calls for it. Plus a goodly supply of FFP3s.
