I do not even watch dashcam videos so I have no idea why YouTube recommended it, but LNER has posted one of a Flying Scotsman service from Edinburgh to Kings Cross starting at sunrise, with pop up facts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLcZ...

Why does this photo look like a still from the Genesis “Land of Confusion” video

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her. How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck? if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere @safety.bsky.app

Oh shut up. Stop giving into something thats utter shit

I was like, no way, despite the art and the curiosity gap hed, could the answer here be “reading books.” But it is! The hobby we are abandoning is literally *reading books*. www.sfchronicle.com/health/aging...

Not including the sweater from GOD'S OWN COUNTRY is homophobia

I just want some of these fucking people to face real consequences

media review: heated rivalry

A 22-year-old woman was chased back to her home by 6 masked ICE agents in Louisiana but backed down after being confronted by her stepfather. Chickenshits… #Pinks #ProudBlue #ICE #FuckICE

This could be any masked men chasing her. How scary! I can’t believe this is America now.

Better than 50% chance there is no FIFA Peace Prize next year and this was a one-off to make the orange toddler happy.

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them. There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”. You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not. People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Sharif. Sharif and his wife came to Egypt prior to the war to get IVF treatment- which was successful and they had twins Husam and Ahmad. Husam has a congenital heart disorder. They have not been able to go back but also cannot work in Egypt.

I made the most perfect pancake

A review article concluding the weed killer Roundup--aka glyphosate--“does not pose a health risk to humans” has been retracted 8 years after documents released in a court case revealed employees of Monsanto, the company that developed it, wrote the article but were not named as coauthors.

I can't even speak on how angry I am that we've spent years trying to get a biography of an important trans woman picked up by publishers but this ethics- and talent-free incurious child had the entire media and publishing world just throwing money and attention at her

Lithgow saying that a family friend with a trans kid came to him and literally said “please don’t do this” and he did it anyway really gives the game away. they don’t not know

Obviously commenting as a bystander, but my wife breastfed both of ours over several years & honestly it was brutally difficult, especially after her returning to work. Explain evidence of the benefits, fine, but I think public health measures cajoling or bullying ppl into it are kind of revolting.

“Disabled people faced a higher cost of living before the pandemic, and were often disregarded in Government decision making. This not only continued, but got worse during the pandemic.” www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/governm...

Foodbanks were meant for emergencies. Food parcels help, but they don’t address poverty. @nickgardham.bsky.social explains why charity normalises deprivation.

We’re relying on foodbanks to fill the gaps left by a shrinking welfare state. This article by Community Organisers CEO Nick Gardham explains why that risks normalising deprivation. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @nickgardham.bsky.social

Year-end critics’ lists exist for people to fight over, so I’m happy when people complain about them. But the complaint I will never get is, “I’ve never heard of most of these movies/albums/shows.” Yes, and? Why be mad about learning about stuff you didn’t know before from the news?

I’ll go further - people who say that aren’t true film fans. Film fans seek out new voices, stories, and perspectives. There’s nothing wrong if you’re not familiar with them, but to dismiss them because of that means you’re just superficially into film.

John Waters names Eddington the best movie of 2025: "If you don’t like this film, I hate you.”

A North Texas attorney who has repeatedly described himself as a fascist and said he despises democracy wants you to vote for him. Historically, fascists rose to power in no small part by being elected to office. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/02/j...

i think any ideology that frames asexuality and celibacy as inherently bad things is dangerous

I can’t believe Hollywood made a movie portraying this horrific bigoted lunatic as some kind of Girl Boss.

Sorta in awe of this talk show appearance. Eight mins are spent discussing now-niche late ’70s, early ’80s TV character actors and LOVE BOAT storylines. Vic Tayback gets name checked thrice. Hanks mentions STALAG 17. Exclusively for nerds and anyone 65+. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0SKa...

Knead me, Jonny

They also remembered he's not white, most likely.

"Israel and other governments committed ecocide in Gaza." "[A]t least 97% of Gaza's trees, 95% of its shrubland, and 82% of its annual crops have been destroyed." "Ecocide is committed to guarantee the objective of genocide." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Climate #Food #Water #Genocide #Courts

Brasil's top court to Bolsonaro... GO TO JAIL NOW. Start that 27 years son, we don't care if you were hallucinating! WOW. Look at what a functioning democracy can do. SIGH. Meanwhile, our supreme court just upholds everything the 38 count felon wants.

Usually, residency isn't required to obtain a marriage license in an EU country. So what today's EU's supreme court ruling does is put Eastern EU (and 🇮🇹) in the same gay marriage category as 🇮🇱. All explained here: davekeating.substack.com/p/the-eu-jus...

Until now, the gay marriage situation in the European Union has been the same as in the United before 2015: some states have it, some states don't. While in the US the divide was North-South, in the EU the divide was West-East. davekeating.substack.com/p/a-rainbow-...

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Incredibly great news:

FYI, I missed this - the law hasn't been implemented yet so we will learn more as time passes, but it's looking like the 1,095 day requirement won't affect kids born before the law goes into effect!

MORE good news: A Canadian bill is just about to receive Royal Assent (yes this is a thing) and soon, if your parent is a Canadian citizen who spent 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada before you were born, you will be a citizen regardless of where you were born and where you live.

JFC they're auctioning off Ennis & Jack's shirts from the final scene of Brokeback y'all

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
