Dirty Business was an exceptional piece of TV, but expect won’t have had much attention given the news this week. The whole politics of ‘red tape’ and low regulation is laid bare.

Ha, yes I had one from the Everyman cinema of all places recently. I mean, who takes their mum to the cinema for Mother’s Day anyway?!
Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.

All politics is acting to a degree I guess, but she just seems completely inauthentic. She even seems to talk about herself in the third person as tho referring to a character. Weird
Listening to Kemi Badenoch on Today. If Keir Starmer has one thing on his side…
That bit at the start of ‘Threads’ where people are just carrying on with their lives and the radio is on in the background, reporting on a growing conflict following a US-backed coup in Iran.
Just remembered how at The Roundhouse in Camden on Friday evening all the male bar staff said ‘what would you like, love’ or ‘thanks, love’ as tho working in a bakers in a Northern town and it was both very strange but also endearing. Is this a thing?
9:15am on Friday 6 March, join us for a session led by Teun Toebes, challenging us to reframe how we think about care and consider how a different narrative could help place dignity, possibility and human connection at the centre of reform. Register to watch via the link in our post.
How do narratives impact care?
On Friday, join @teuntoebes.bsky.social as he draws on his own experience of living in a care home to challenge how we think about care.
We'll discuss how a shift in narrative can re‑centre dignity, safety & human connection 🤝

I find it incredible to recall that some of my friends still had outside loos (still in use) in their back yards in late 1970s Morris Green, Bolton.

Still coming down from last night's Big Special gig at the Roundhouse. Such an amazing atmosphere in there, which support act Gans managed to whip up. Felt like one of those gigs where you'll never get to see them in such an intimate venue again

Off to see Big Special at The Roundhouse. Second best band in Britain to Sleaford Mods youtu.be/wKnlDWD5xXg?...

Brief respite
I think the collapse of print newspapers and the end of linear TV habits has created a context collapse for news. Where once day to day reporting and investigation and lifestyle sat side by side in one package, now they live as seperate things in people's minds, with reality warping effects
Oh, and Lidl
This is a beautiful love song. That it is a beautiful love song with repeated reference to custard makes it even more special IMHO youtu.be/3g0CRY6dLrs?...
oh, chef's kiss
Bet he didn't say 'no sweat'.

Can’t imagine Eddie the Eagle doing this…. #WinterOlympics
A really deeply hate Donald Trump, but I also, having had parents who have lived with dementia and endured a stroke, despise this constant line of attack. It’s so pathetic

For the public to care more about adult social care, they need to see as securing their & their families spot by their own fireplace
