This made me smile #nasa #oil #clangers @NASA

If those astronauts go around the moon and can find no trace of Lisa Stansfield’s baby then I really think that’s it, we’ve exhausted all lines of enquiry

I am working a 13hour shift tomorrow at £767 gross. It looks big but would take 40%, NI 2% Take home appro £445. Grossly UK pays well but Tax takes everything. Instead of fighting for pay increase, I think tax reduction should be the fight.

Your Dad waiting for you all to get in the bloody car.

So the minimum wage just went up and the government is very proud of itself. Here is what they are not telling you. Your wage goes up. Your tax goes up. Your National Insurance goes up. HMRC takes its cut before you see a penny of that £1,500. Now your employer is paying more for every single person on their books. They are not absorbing that. Nobody absorbs that. So prices go up. The coffee you buy on the way to work costs more. The lunch you grab costs more. The haircut costs more. All of it costs more because the people serving you are now on higher wages too, and their employers did exactly the same thing. So you got a pay rise, and everything got more expensive at the same time. Almost like it cancelled out. If they actually wanted workers to keep more money they would cut their tax. That's it. That's the whole idea. But that would mean the government collecting less. So instead they raise the minimum wage, taking a cut on the way in and benefit from the price rises on the way out through VAT, and call it a historic day for working people.

Thanks for ending the meeting 4 minutes early and “giving me some time back.” Now I can finally pursue my passions

The terrible thing I said is that 100% of everyone who has ever been pregnant is a woman, whether they like it or not. Almost as bad as saying that everyone who has ever been born was born of a woman. How very could I? goodlawproject.org/ofcom-will-hol…

The UK government calls £50,271 a “high earner” in London for tax purposes. The UK housing market calls £50k “not enough for a mortgage deposit in London.” Make it make sense.

Thank you @sharrond62 thank you @Riley_Gaines_ thank you @ThePosieParker Thank you to the amazing women who sacrificed BBC contracts / lucrative contracts / any work to stand up for real women. Little girls stand on YOUR shoulders

Trees are good

Pfizer’s former chief toxicologist Dr Helmut Sterz states in evidence to the German Parliament that the Covid ‘vaccine’ caused 200 deaths within weeks of rollout Dr Sterz estimates 60000 Germans died from the Pfizer ‘vaccine’ he says ‘it should never have been approved “ 💥

I don’t believe McSwindle had his iPhone stolen. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t need to watch #PMQs to know how it will go today: Kemi: Does the PM expect the British public to believe that McSweeney's phone had gone missing? Starmer: Is this the same public who had to pay higher mortgages due to Liz Truss’ budget which SHE supported!?

"What is inclusive about the Burqa for everybody else?" "If John concurs with this view, that's NOT RACISM! It's an alternate view and you are allowed to have it" Simon Jordan rightly defends John Terry for commenting on @RupertLowe10's post. Love this guy Always speaks sense

Jesus was here.

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself. She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it. 6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on. 7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth. 8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either. 9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it. 12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing. 1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further. 3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats. 6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir. 8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better." Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly. By some of the others, the picture is more complicated. Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

the judi dench cameo fucking sent me 🤣😭

Spotted at my local independent bookstore on Saturday. The times are changing. Also, I notified management.
