This response to a NYTimes "reporter" requesting the murder footage shows more spine than the entire Democratic Party.

Think I'm going to go knit a hat or something for a bit, godspeed everyone

Used to be "give peas a chance" on the M25. When I came back from America it was literally the presence of green next to the motorways that felt like a weird relief. Now I guess it's "HELCH" or driving over the Second Severn Crossing. (Where is "home"? Hmm)

ICE shot a woman driving away from them in the face in broad daylight and immediately began to smear her as a perpetrator of violence and domestic terrorism. The greatest threat to Americans is our own “law and order.”

ICE murdered a US citizen today and lied about it to blame the victim. Period.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

Do not use the news as a self-flagellation device, it does not help you, and it does not help those around you. Read about events, and intake what you can, but be strict about what you can tolerate and what you cannot. You can't help other people if you're actively hurting yourself.

This is massively important to remember, my grieving friends. Please remember this. All of these murders are evil, but what happened just now is not the first.

NEW: An ICE officer killed a person in broad daylight in Minneapolis today — with posted video appearing to contradict the DHS statement claiming self-defense, as the driver appeared to be attempting to drive away when shot. MPR: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0... Video: bsky.app/profile/dani...

This Jacob Frey speech is incredible. "To ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

The beacons are lit

This is probably a much better place than Twitter was during Black Lives Matter. But just in case, do NOT post people being murdered on the timeline.

January 7 is Old-Rock-Day 🪨⏱︎ Considered for almost 50 years the oldest rock on Earth, the Acasta Gneiss - a tonalite gneiss found in the Slave craton in the NWT of Canada - indeed includes some of the oldest known rocks of continental crust on Earth, dated at 4.03 billion years ...

Charles Addams had more control over value in an inkwash than maybe any other cartoonist before or since, and also was a lady magnet: among his many romantic partners were Greta Garbo, Joan Fontaine, and Jackie Kennedy, with whom he split when she complained that they only talked about comics

It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall. It's probably not your fault—too much news. But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.

When you need more than your naturally allotted amount of fur.

while the new bullshit rages, the old bullshit bulldozes on

anyway this is why i get mad when ppl suggest y2k and the hole in the ozone layer was some kind of hoax. maybe it’s hard to believe but there was a time when we had enough consensus reality to fix very serious problems!

The Yemen strike that destroyed a residential building but the scandal was framed as the process of doing it over signal

I always liked this classic

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

Thankfully we can still take some solace from the ancient texts.

Report the app for CSA materials. I just did.

Though, I confess, she did give them to me to look after, yet it was her fault not to see that I did take them out of the coach. I believe it might be as good as 25s. loss or thereabouts.

My wife and I home, and found all well, only myself somewhat vexed at my wife’s neglect in leaving of her scarf, waistcoat, and night-dressings in the coach today that brought us from Westminster.

Popped in to visit The Copy at the big Traf Square Waterstones and omg there were FOUR copies, face out, and it was such a glow up that @helenlohara.bsky.social and I cooed like two stage moms.

It’s really hard to talk about something like reading or literacy rates because people react by talking about what’s personally preventing them from reading and defending themselves — I’m tired / I’m disabled — as if it’s a story about them and not about the larger society that’s being designed.

I rewatched FRIENDS & was struck at the multitude of establishing shots in scenes where one of the gang is sitting in their apartment reading a contemporary fiction novel

I love Snorse

it is the saddest thing that this man has to be a president and not just a clown online. this is so incredibly funny and yet it's just current, ongoing, and looming tragedy

Getting a flashback to when a chunk of British legal Twitter moved to Bluesky last year. A KC posted about how engaging with a notorious transphobe got him on blocklists, I posted the famous quote about there being a Nazi at the table, and he threatened me with legal action and demanded I delete it:
