Training the dog to stay close with treats as I walk him. Someone left Santa a ham sandwich and dog scoffed some of it before I could see what was going on. Treats stopped working and dog started pulling. Meh.
Previous owner said he was gluten intolerant so looking forward to checking that out later.

Remember this woman, who had to quit as Boris's Press Secretary over partygate?
Well Rishi was Best Man at her wedding to James Forsythe.
Rishi has just hired James Forsythe as his Press Secretary!
"A government of integrity" my arse.
Nepotism, VIP lanes & dodgy donors.

No, skepticism of crypto doesn't "stem from lack of understanding".
Skepticism of crypto stems from it being an endless barrage of fraud, scams and the worst of human greed and criminality.

Elsevier appears to be collecting and monetizing our personal data, sometimes without our consent. The data they collect can be used to "extrapolate core working hours, vacation times, and other patterns of a person’s life."
What can we do?
Over 20,000 researchers are refusing to publish, review, or edit for Elsevier. You can also ask them to delete your "non-integral" personal data: https://www.elsevier.com/legal/privacy-policy/data-request

It’s so cool that every time trans people get a thing, a bunch of busybodies whom it doesn’t affect in the least get all up in arms and act like it’s a personal attack. Like watching someone get a holiday gift and acting like it’s a threat to you.

I'm sick of people saying it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of #capitalism. I think about the end of capitalism every day. Today I imagined what it would be like to live in a community that valued me for being present rather than "useful" or "productive." In that world, I think I would spend a lot more time taking care of plants. I would tell stories when I felt like it, instead of on deadline. What do you imagine? #imaginetheendofcapitalism

To absolutely NO ONE'S surprise #antivaxxers are once again completely WRONG.
As if that needs to be actually be said anymore with the literally EVERYTHING they claim being false.
Once again, none of the mRNA covid vaccines cause blood clots.
