It would appear that “former Tory MP Antoinette Sandbach has threatened the University of Cambridge with legal action after a historian named her as a descendant of merchants who enslaved his ancestors.”
Oh, my… It would be a damn shame if more people knew of this so please do not boost this post.

Caught up with my old collaborator on political animations last week.
Discussing doing new stuff, given the state of everything.
We used to turn things around pretty quickly, but we're not sure we can keep up with the current news cycle. The scandals & controversies move SO QUICKLY these days it feels challenging to do a song & animation & get it out before everyone else has moved on.
Maybe in the run up to the next election I'll get the singing dog out & we'll try something.

People greatly underestimate the value of libraries in our society. Here's some FREE things you can do at any library:
-Write your greatest enemy an anonymous letter, claiming to have hidden money in a local library book.
-Disguise yourself as a librarian, and offer to help your greatest enemy find the book they seek.
-Murder your greatest enemy in a secluded corner where no witnesses will be present.
-Hide the body behind the shelf of Guy Fieri cookbooks, where it will never be found.
Me: Wow. Just took a macro photo of a flower and it looks gorgeous. The centre is like a sumptious bath.
Everyone else:
Me: No. Honest. It's all bubbly and moist and looks like an amazing place to chill.
Everyone else:
Me: OK. Look. I'll show you what I mean.
Everyone else:
Me: Oh. OK. No, you're right. That's just weird.
