Happy 25th anniversary to this Daily Mail article from the year 2000, proclaiming that internet "may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it".

HEY CANADA.

MP Elizabeth May is sponsoring a petition to get Electoral Reform back in front of Parliament.

Could all of us who were utterly betrayed in 2016 when JT reneged on this please go put our electrons onto this one? yes, yes, the petitions don't mean a thing WILL happen, but there was already a good plan for this set out that got shelved. The longer we delay, the longer we risk what's happening in the US happening here.

The Post Office in our mid Wales town lives inside a Spar owned and run by a company.

They've just admitted that in January they are downsizing our Post Office, reducing staff and services dramatically.

A manager from the company that owns the Spar is visiting it tomorrow, so we're staging a protest of support for the Post Office while they're there, and handing over a petition of over 500 signatures. (There's only about 1,000 people living in the town.)

The protest might not even work, because Royal Mail isn't publicly owned anymore - it's 100% controlled by companies who can do whatever they want. But I'm furious and I'm going anyway.

If you live in/near #Machynlleth, come along - the manager's arriving around 9:30am so we're turning up from 9am.

Home-made protest sign. Brown cardboard with a white rectangle where an address label would go. A giant stamp in the top right corner, with the King's face modified with a black Sharpie to look angry. Text on sign: My home > Post Office passport and ID services > Home again. Now: On foot, 30 mins maximum. From Jan 2026: by train and wheelchair, 3 hours minimum.

There are fantasy writers known for the feast scenes, or their sex scenes, or their epic battle scenes

I think I have a shot at being the fantasy author known for their board game scenes. There's not a lot of competition and I am all over it!

#Whamageddon really bothers me.

Firstly, it's a million miles away from the worst Christmas song (Wonderful Christmas Time - McCartney, hang your head in shame), but also, it makes George Michael into a punchline, despite being a Grade A chap.

In a show of absolute magnanimity, Michael donated his proceeds from it - in perpetuity - to the Band Aid foundation. It still receives that money: around ยฃ300,000 a year.

And people actively avoid playing it for a meme.

Anyway, go and listen to Last Christmas and stop being a bell end. It's a great tune.

Rules of Reverse Whamageddon 
1. The player must try and hear Wham!'s Christmas song, "Last Christmas" as many times as possible.
2. The game starts at 00:00 on the 1st of December and ends at 23:59 on the 24th of December.
3. Only the original version of "Last Christmas" will give you points, the player can listen to remixes and covers of the song if they wish but they score no points.
4. The players gets 10 points as soon as they recognize the original version of the song. This is cumulative and by the end of the game (23:59 on 24th December) a total can be declared.
5. The player may if they wish post "#ReverseWhamageddon" on social media each time they win some points, and their final score at the end of the game.
6. Players can send it to other players if they want, and prank them with Wham to inadvertently give them Wham points.
7. Players don't get points for playing it at themselves. The point of the game is for it to find you and give you some happy! Enjoy!
