Talk Talkβs βThe Colour Of Springβ came out 40 years ago today. π¦
Hereβs the band performing βLifeβs What You Make Itβ on βTop Of The Popsβ a few weeks before the albumβs release.
Two weeks ago @zackpolanski.bsky.social went to Palantir's London HQ to tell the US spyware company to get the hell out of the NHS.
Zack has now written to Wes Streeting urging him to end Palantir's NHS contract, citing links between Mandelson, his lobbying firm, and Palantir.

Ok regarding my log cabin and otters - Iβm willing to take some other like minded people. Who else wants to escape all of this?
Every day my idea of a log cabin, by a lake with only otters for company seems more and more appealing
I will always opt for Carnival of Souls
This is bringing back memories
I must love my dad. Iβve been vegan for 12 years, vegetarian for 40 and in the past two days Iβve made him an omelette and a ham sandwich. I wonβt deny; it was bloody horrible, but heβs my dad in palliative care. I canβt deny him what he wants.
I guess giving a pew pew for Christmas is very unusual for us Brits @archive.org

Went down an @archive.org rabbit hole last night and found the perfect Christmas gifts. Hang them on the Christmas tree, smoke them with Santa or get a Bellhop to deliver them to you. β You know what I got for Christmas? β¦ I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man β¦ said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny."
Enjoying a cup of (vegan) mead, with my cousin, by the ancient oak tree after listening to some beautiful singing. I needed this today; reconnecting with nature has allowed me to start working through my anticipatory grief. #wintersolstice #gippeswyck #ipswich

Hail Yule. Beautiful morning spent with my cousins and the Gippeswyck Gathering; celebrating the return of the sun on the Winter Solstice. Then onto the Ancient Oak Tree. #wintersolstice #gippeswyck #ipswich #suffolk
I also want this, unfortunately Iβve also wanted to be like a Bernard Black in my bookshop π£π·
Rescued owl was 'too fat to fly', Suffolk sanctuary says Suffolk An owl rescued from a ditch and thought to be injured was in fact just too fat to fly, a bird rescue centre has said. And a picture of a rather offended looking owl

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.
Better than seeing this
Why? Just why?
Right - Iβm going to be honest - and personal. Christmas is a terrible time of year for me. 2 years ago we lost my mum and my brother-in-law. Last year I lost my cat (my girl). This year my father is in palliative care on oxygen downstairs. I canβt feel anything right now. Sorry for being a grinch
Ewwwweee Iβm sorry
Noooooooooooooo as long as they leave Robin and Max alone actually I can cope with Steve the Hair going. But Dustin doesnβt deserve that much grief.
All I saw was poor interior decorating
Do I get to keep the book and the cat?
All Iβve seen after randomly selecting images, is this man had NO taste. Iβm intrigued about the blacked out images and his desktop scribble pad. Looks like an IP address on one of them.
