As ever, bigots fail upwards in Reform www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

RIP Sonny Rollins, a great jazz talent and the last surviving musician in one of the best photos of men in suits during the 20th century

Never in a kazillion years did I think anything like this could happen in my lifetime. dang

I've said it before but we need to somehow restore the social cost of racism. It's always been there but it's spreading at least partly because people aren't made to feel ashamed of it any more.

Ya'll. I am shook. In a good way. Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing Slavery

We very much enjoyed this bit

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

But wait. There's more.

Just to be clear how little I’m exaggerating, in 2016, the UK Government actually advised trans people against travelling to certain US states due to the implementation of bathroom bans. @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is now implementing those same bans across the UK. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-u...

horrid horrid horrid thread

Holding a garden party with 30 relatives for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary on the weekend. Today was the day of 'the jobs we really don't want to do but have to get done' (finally over the worst of the jetlag) & so now having weeded, clipped mowed, rechipped and cleaned the bbq we can relax!

I'm gonna need arsenal fans who know to tell me about where to be for the parade and how the heck it all works.

I haven't had a lot of Florida FOMO this last year but the summer stuff at UOR always gets me.

Conservation scientists at a Welsh university have completed work on an ambitious project to bring a species of oyster native to the UK back from the brink of extinction

Lol no.

Had a massage, had a lush bean soup made by @lydscl.bsky.social and arsenal are winning. Good stuff.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

Jet lag is a right bugger. Massage at 10 though, can't wait.

Divorced Beheaded Died Divorced Beheaded Survived

I haven't been this happy to win something since I won a water skiing lesson in florida when I was a kid and my parents then had to pay for both my siblings to do it too.

I'm never more angry about brexit than when I'm stuck in an immigration queue an hour long for no bloody reason!

Fuck yeah

Bloody hell.

Why are the bad people always happy and not the good people.

Cunts

C'mon plaid, fuck em up

And still dickheads in Wales will vote for them.

I just checked the Instagrams of the two “experts” referenced in this story. The comments are filled with livid people who’ve seen this reported on BBC Breakfast this morning, begging parents not to take the dangerous advice. The BBC may well have saved lives here. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is now what passes for “science” from the BBC. Hackneyed cliches, faux mystery, factually incorrect statements. 1. Archaeologists are, once again, “baffled” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yes. Stop Farage. Stop Reform. Stop the corruption. Stop the racism. Stop the misogyny. Stop the hatred. Stop the cruelty. Stop the incompetence. Stop the division. Stop the threats. Stop the fascism. Stop the failure. Just, ffs, stop him.

And thankfully, there was someone stood against them.

Sounds exactly like the UK and US - its all smoke and mirrors

It doesn't matter where you are in the world far right hate speech relies on the same tired tropes and lies. Tokyo's version sounded exactly the same as the tripe churned out at home and in the US.

Kill Bill Vol 1 is one of my favourite movies of all time and FINALLY I've made it to Gonpachi which inspired The House of Blue Leaves. Bucket list item checked off.

Jet lag kicking my ass. So tired but just can't sleep. Will be forcing myself up in 5 hours to try and regulate.

Konnichiwa Japan

I dont think the ghost of a victorian doll can sue people.

So fucking awful, this needs to stop, I hate this.

Friends, if you’re taking sertraline, check the batch number as there is a recall out and you may have ended up with a mislabelled lower dose of citalopram. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Swan update from Brockwell Park! THE LITTLE BEBE ON HIS MUMMY’S BACK!

What else is there to say but yes max has a butt hole.

Saw next door's 3 (nearly 4) year old son earlier. He was telling us all about his football that he'd kicked over the fence when his mum came over holding their cat Max. We were cooing over Maxxy (who is a very rarely spotted void cat) when said 3 year old proudly announced "Max has a butthole".

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Always sherry time.

Just lost my job due to company reduction/restructure - getting surprise severance which is nice and even better, first thing @popsiwinkle.bsky.social suggested when I came back downstairs - do you want a sherry? YES I MOST DEFINITELY DO!

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

I have relatives just like these examples. And Mr Coleman is quite correct, I avoid them like the plague because its not good for me. Except thats not a negative as he seems to think, I have every right to protect my mental health from bigots.
