We need a spy on the PA Slack channel. Come to think of it, we also need spies on the Billionaires’ Slack channel.

Is there a specific store/chain that sells nice fabric curtains? With Bed/Bath/Beyond gone, I'm not sure where people buy these. Do not say the internet, I promise I am aware of the internet. I want a store where I can see the fabric, thank you.

Yes. Making onion jam, which is apparently now a weekly thing for me. Like a good drug dealer, I got my kids hooked too.

We should expect that Farage will use is alliance with the MAGA movement and trump to raise his profile and exert pressure on everyone as he tries to elevate his Reform Party. Trump may choose to deal more directly with him than the Labour government. Just a thing to watch and feel worried about.

I’m a bit hazy on dates. We did have a fun class, because of it’s history and admittance system I had about half white midwestern kids and half Indigenous students from all over the US.
