I'm once again politely asking Bluesky developers to allow us to attach multiple photos and videos in one post.

fucking love how they bicker over the water bottle

"The war in Gaza has firmly established that the international legal, moral, and political order contains a double standard and was never meant to serve the needs of weaker nations and societies." #Israel #Gaza #WestBank #Palestine #Sudan #Lebanon #Syria #Genocide #Military

SELL THEIR HOUSES TO WHO, BEN...? FUCKING AKWA-MAN?!

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Research rarely surprises, and that is not a failure. Its value lies in carefully (dis)confirming, qualifying, or bounding what we already think we know.

This is just up the road from me, the bairn was born in this hospital. And this is pretty much exactly how I would expect a group of people from around here to respond, if one of their number started behaving like a weird and unpleasant arsehole for reasons nobody understood.

My friends and I were picking up pizza after going drinking for a birthday party, and the birthday boy was struggling with the front door of the pizza place. A woman standing by with a stroller and a glass of wine chimed in "I remember my first door"

In the middle of singing a hymn in church, my tiny Goddaughter climbed up onto the pew next to me, gently placed her hand on my chest, and said "Don't worry, I can teach you to sing."

“We were transferred from one prison to another, and during the strip searches I was raped.” That’s what German journalist Anna Liedtke, who was abducted by Israel from the freedom flotilla boat Conscience, says Israeli soldiers did to her while she was being held in captivity.

The lecturer in question is our colleague in children’s literature studies. She is a brilliant scholar and from all accounts a gifted teacher. This ruling is infuriating… at the end of the day, it is our students’ education that will suffer.

I laughed

Some kid who was the *only entrant* in a dance competition category. Ballet, I think. And was awarded a silver medal.

Hi everyone, hope you and yours are all having a wonderful holiday season! A quick note - if you're able to support this page at all, in any fashion, it means the world and is greatly appreciated. Thank you so so much! ko-fi.com/badmedicalta...

Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them. And we discuss signing something with them?

Re-upping this in case someone needs to hear it going into the weekend and New Years. You aren’t alone— this is the hardest time of the year for so many people, and there’s *nothing* wrong with you if you’re one of them.

Roses are red Yellow the gorse

Prosecute them all. Beyond the depravity of this, it's pure theft. The local prosecutor should open an investigation and charge them all.

The push for wealth taxes has been one of the defining economic debates of 2025. The question now is how to create policies that work. If we are serious about justice, democracy and effective government, this is the path we should take. youtu.be/iSE8GsNZgBU?...

Crochet the rat, joining the festivities

Reading this made me furious. It’s short sighted nonsense that verges on dishonest. He wants to classify people again and is using political attacks on autistic people as an excuse. That’s as familiar as it is vile:

My son bought me what I thought was a drill. Turned out to be a toblerone gaffer-taped to a bottle of Bailey’s.

The top is after Trump’s DOJ redactions below is without, I can almost figure out who they are protecting

"The question is whether political leaders are brave enough to speak the truth? Immigration is good for this country and that we have a clear, moral responsibility to protect those failed by global injustice and political neglect." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

So… did everyone have a good Christmas?

he's been arguing with chat bots for nearly three years at this point

Spoiler: “Nathan, a fitness influencer”

Translated: Texas A&M leaders would rather pay hundreds of thousands of dollars on litigation and settlement costs than defend faculty that right-wing students do a hit job on

And yet I have people trying to tell me that "COVID is over".

"Study finds that despite broad COVID vaccine availability, COVID still deadlier than flu in hospitalized patients" Korean health data on 15 million cases found COVID had 76% higher odds of death within 30 days among hospitalised patients than influenza (2022–23) www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/stu...

Canada: Increase in cold, flu, and COVID cases brings return of masks to Ontario hospital. Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington announced a mask mandate effective Dec 22. Everyone entering must wear a mask in patient care areas; masks are provided at entrances to reduce spread and protect patients.

Thread... Hamas is renewing its call for a full & independent ICC investigation into 10/7. They state they can show they only targeted Israeli military posts in retaliation for killing civilians in Palestine, did not target any hospitals, civilians, medical personnel, & did not commit rape. 1/3

lmao sorry this shouldn't be funny but it's like a sketch mocking him.

Pope delivering entirely standard Christmas message is apparently hugely newsworthy, can't think why...

Those poor kids. Imagine being excited for Santa and you get this unhinged wazzock telling you coal is beautiful and they won't let in a bad Santa. news.sky.com/story/trump-...

Dear Santa 🧑‍🎄, The cats have been affectionate, good bois this year. Please consider giving them a present. Thank you. Respectfully yours, The President of the Earth Felines Union 😻 #cats #goodboi

props to this christmas lad I’ve just spotted on @flightradar24.com

Merry Christmas to those to celebrate, from the whole Trans+ Solidarity Alliance Team 🎄🏳️‍⚧️ After a tough year - we’re so proud this winter to have delivered the largest Trans Secret Santa UK so far 💕 We wanted to share some of the lovely messages we’ve had with everyone who supported the project 🎁

‘Tis the season to remember this classic tweet

#ArtistFaveXmas Fairytale of New York—The Pogues It's 5 years since Laurence Fox tweeted to admonish the BBC for not playing the original lyrics to this. To which the Pogues' account succinctly responded: "Fuck off, you little herrenvolk shite." And so say all of us. #musicsky #nowplaying

"Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court" "The child, barely old enough to talk..." "Unable to reach the chair on her own, Lucy was lifted into the seat by Ana Islas" coppercourier.com/2025/12/05/c...

It's up over 55k now. I'm being kicked out of the National Guard as a MEDEVAC pilot after 15 years of service. I will receive nothing. No severance. No education benefits. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Just a FU, get out. America rewards the worst people, and punishes those who tried to be good.

Also:

The Guardian accused me of hubris because I dared post at 3pm. The Calais Appeal donations are shooting up. Maybe the King might like to donate too? Or maybe the Government could actually implement a fair & managed migration system? A Christmas miracle!
