Ah, damn it. Just opened a mystery package from Evil Amazon and discovered that they sent out the updated Coffey/Moritz book so it would arrive precisely on its publication date. And the publishers ~still~ haven't bothered compiling a fucking index 😡 so bang goes the weekend.

Am I a bad person for laughing at this? Very well, then: I am a bad person.

Chris Philp should resign for his remarks about the Ricky Jones case. You can't have a Shadow Home Sec. undermining the justice system. If he won't resign, Badenoch ought to sack him if necessary. If she won't, the media should hold her accountable. But none of this will happen.

I trust Americans are enjoying their extended version of the "Two Minute Hate." Don't worry, Putin will fuck off back to Russia soon. Then your media can return to showing you soft-focus advertisements for Netanyahu's luxury timeshare condominiums built of powdered Arab skulls.

The Lucy Letby Analysis nitwit is still hot on the trail of Dewi Evans, for his remark about identifying harm "𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨" of arriving at the police station. Artificial intelligence, assisted by genuine stupidity, will bring the old rascal to justice!

What has Gill been up to? Coffey is the sceptical half of his double-act with Moritz, so he's vaguely more aligned with Gill than not. It must be pretty bad for a reporter to block emails to their work account. I would guess that at the BBC it probably needs managerial approval.

Take two planets whose orbits are (a) 365 days and (b) 323 days. Gr0nk reckons they complete a whole number of orbits simultaneously when (a) has made 323 orbits and (b) has made 365. This is so weird that it must be wrong. I don't have the brainpower to figure out why. Anyone?

Looking back on this tweet, barely a fortnight after Hunt poked his head over the parapet, the news broke about the arrests of those three Countess of Chester managers (on suspicion of manslaughter). We don't know when the arrests happened, but the timing is somewhat suggestive.

A few weeks back, someone on here (not famous) described Trump's second term as America's "Middle Eastern dictator with a solid gold toilet" phase. I've forgotten who it was, but I can't get their observation out of my head, and it seems to be getting truer and truer each day.
