Monday again, so it's time for my links to assorted matters unrelated to @itcontracting: forums.contractoruk.com/gene… - this week with mistletoe, insects, and Mithras 🔗
And this is the last time I’ll post the link to the links here on Twitter, until Emerald Boy and his fascist cronies are finally driven off and the place is returned to some semblance of a place you’d like to be. I’m at bsky.app/profile/nickfitz.bs… instead 🙂

On my way to @cityjournalism for teaching, and train filled with people dressed as farmers.
I say ‘dressed as’ because only three of them in this carriage have dirty wellies. Several are wearing suede boots and shooting jackets. Not an awful lot of Kentish accents, either.

Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Tom Toro. #NewYorkerCartoons newyorkermag.visitlink.me/LR…
ALT A man watches a dog run after a ball. The man is thinking, “I love how he finds joy in the simple things.” The dog is thinking, “The emotional burden of alleviating his depression is crushing me.”

A word on @AllisonPearson free speech row and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. Today on @TheNewsAgents, we asked her to appear. She said ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
You gotta love a free speech warrior
