It is with great regret that I must announce that my coffee bowl is now empty 😫

An NYPD officer took out his mace to spray protesters on the Manhattan bridge yesterday, then sprayed himself accidentally instead 🤣 🤣

There's a video but it's too blurry to screencap. I've already watched it three times.

I must say I don't like laying paving slabs, and I haven't even started doing it yet 🤣
I'll just linger another five minutes with this bowl of coffee, I think ..

@BashStKid @TheSwiv No, I decanted it into an old kitchen waste bin (with a handle) to avoid just such a situation.

Across the political Right, the narrative is that disability benefits (primarily Personal Independence Payments; PIPs) are too easy to get & are often paid to the 'undeserving'... however, in reality nearly half of applicants are rejected, rising to over two thirds for endometriosis (a gendered dimension I'll leave you to ponder), but with high rates of rejections over-turned on appeal (often with the same evidence).

More Tory lies, callousness & inhumanity

@ChrisMayLA6 The whole process of application is humiliating, overly intrusive and degrading. To be refused the, on average, pretty meagre payments can, and often does, make the situation of the applicant indescribably worse, not least in mental health terms.

WEEK 32: Students at Northeastern University accept their degrees carrying Palestinian flags and wearing keffiyehs, some hiding protest banners underneath their gowns, protesting the university's complicity in genocide.

Well that didn't take too long:

'sources' are now saying that Natalie Elphicke did not so much experience a political conversion as storm out of the Tory party having twice been refused Ministerial posts.

And, more explicitly Tories seem to be happy to say that it was her conduct in trying to excuse her husband's conviction for sexual assault (for which she has belatedly apologised).

No surprise the Tories want to depict her as tainted... & perhaps no surprise Streeting is defending her!

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@ChrisMayLA6 I'd come to terms with thinking that with the Tories because, well, after so many years you don't expect anything else.
To be in such despair about a government that has months before it will even take power is beyond depressing.

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@Thebratdragon @ChrisMayLA6 Great #!!
There's a thing going on over on the dark side (and TikTok, according to reports on Xitter) - "celebrities" who aren't coming out to denounce genocide are getting the "digital guillotine", to stop any financial reward they get from engagement with their fans.
I like it.

@ChrisMayLA6 Have a lovely Sunday! 🤣
I'm going to put bleak aside for 24 hours and go lay some paving slabs before it rains.
See you in Cynics' Corner (which might need a new, bleaker name) tomorrow 😁

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@ChrisMayLA6 I'm not looking forward to it - it's too much the kind of manual labour I'd usually pay someone else to do 😂
I hadn't noticed the very slight incline in the lawn out in the front garden, so a whole bunch of pots flooded last year. Thankfully the massive back garden is at the "maintenance with a bit of sowing" stage. Even the vegetable beds are very much a "chuck it in and see what happens" kinda deal 😁
Have fun, whatever you're doing 🥰

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@ChrisMayLA6 Actually I was just going to performatively start huffing and puffing until my ever reliable neighbour asks what I'm doing, looks over in despair and does it for me to make sure it's "done properly". Because he can't help himself and is super kind like that 🥰 😆
OK, not really. But I'll have my fingers crossed for an intervention, nonetheless 🤣
All advice gratefully received, no worries.

Breakfast ordered. I'm disinclined to go for the cheese Omelette, just glancing at the menu photo is off-putting, so it's croissants with jam and a milky coffee.

@FiveSeventeen Confused by the non-crescent shaped croissant though ...

@FiveSeventeen I guess it makes packaging them easier ...

'The Ministry of Ungentlemenly Warfare', new film, started out well and fell away, based on a true story from WW2. Like The Sea Wolves, boys own adventure stuff, 4/10, featuring Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson.

She is good. I'm chalking up the less than stellar performance to the script.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious Then why do it at all, especially this year, and when you don't normally watch it?
