The long 2010s are finally over

Night night sweet dreamies Be unapologetically YOU. The world doesn’t need copies, it needs your kindness, your quirks, just you. Let others do what they do… you just keep shining exactly as you are, because that’s more than enough. 🧡✨

Best one yet! People would be less angry and confused if they they read Alt text. I hope Patrickworld feels he is making progress through his crusade.

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all” Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since “Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital halts mass eviction after London Centric uncovered what was going on. Hundreds of Londoners now receiving bizarre door-to-door visits blaming misinformation and being asked to record videos saying they don't want to be evicted. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

I'm oldish and know little about gaming. So I was amazed when my 7 year old nephew showed me a 3 D representation of the digestive system he crested on Minecraft, after a lesson in school. Stay cautious, but stay open to the new stuff.

I think arguing with Martin Lewis about personal finances on GMB is a bold political strategy. Worth following up by having a fight with David Attenborough about conservation on BBC Breakfast.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

This chart should be taught in schools and posted near every bus stop.

Something that being a union rep taught me is that a deal can be made and signed, and yet *mean absolutely nothing* unless it is enforced every day by people willing to stand up to power dynamics.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

This is what needs to happen. Cancel the World Cup. Cancel the Olympics. Cancel your US vacations. Refuse to support this regime and refuse to endanger lives.

There were more viewers of the curling last night than Britain’s Got Talent.

I’ve found it, I’ve found the worst take

Some positive news around the UK economy - inflation down, retail sales up, tax receipts up, tentantive signs of higher productivity.... But also rising unemployment, falling wage increases, and flat GDP. You wouldn't call it a recovery yet, but there's maybe a prospect of one.

I just hope everyone else's WhatsApp groups are as full of the Andrew jokes they can't post online as mine are.

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

Perfect for the NHS

Well, I never knew Neil Young wrote this. I used to sing ‘Love is a nose’ in my teens and thought this was hilarious 😆.

Post below is the culmination of an excellent thread from @jamessmithrf.bsky.social Inflation is coming down, with further interest rates virtually certain. Of course global factors have an impact, but for the UK, this path was not inevitable. The government's economic strategy is working.

Anyone else getting Curling fatigue?

Night night sweet dreamies I hope today included at least one small act of kindness just for you. The way you care for yourself sets the tone for everything else. You matter 🧡 You truly do

Spot on. It is the bedrock of inequality

It's totally disingenuous of the media to claim postponing local council elections is a Labour Government policy. It isn't, the policy is exactly the same as the last Tory government policy, allowing councils to request postponement if certain criteria is met. Who needs facts eh.

Offered for thought:

We’re taking bold action to make the West End and the rest of London a no-go area for phone thieves. A proposed £4.5m will support the Met to smash the phone gangs - with a new Police Command Cell focused on taking out gang bosses as well as snatchers.

It's the world view of rich white men who employ nannies and send their kids to boarding school

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday Never underestimate your resilience. It’s carried you through days you thought you couldn’t face, lifted you after moments that felt heavy, and quietly reminded you that you’re stronger than you realise.

Night night sweet dreamies all As the day winds down, remember that gentle words and warm hearts make the world feel a little lighter. Give kindness freely and save some of that same kindness for yourself tonight

Have a #painting. "Burren Tree" is from 6 years ago. I painted it because I love stones, let alone fields of stone. And I really like walls. You know where you stand with a wall. Sometimes the dry stone ones fall down a little, but if that gives you a better view of a tree, great. #art #SpeirGhorm

Brushing fraud: Britons told to beware of mystery parcels as new scam soars www.theguardian.com/money/2026/f...

Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”. Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law. Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

Night night sweet dreamies Love isn’t measured by what you receive, but by what you share. Never miss a moment to say “I love you” Especially to yourself

Large electric powered container ships are already a reality. When posting about this 2 years ago the so-called “experts” said it is impossible. Can people stop listening to oil and gas “experts” soon?

👏

It seems to be women who are more determined to stand up to fascism. They understand what's at stake. I am in awe.

The level of discourse is risible.

2011.

🌱yay, thee postman has delivered essential ingredients for hope and happiness 😊.
