Terrific speech! Many of our leaders in the US should be taking notes from her if they want to flip the House this fall....

BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election. Congratulations!

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

Well thank god for that 💪 #Denton #Gorton #GreenParty And you need a long overdue rocket up your a*se #Labour

If Bill and Hillary testify, Don and Melania should testify. Simples.

If y’all could report @authorfisherbooks.bsky.social, that is not me, that is a scammer attempting to relieve people of funds, probably by selling book services.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

🧵This is the story of an UNSUNG HERO who helped expose Prince Andrew: Emily Maitlis has gotten all sorts of accolades and awards for her 2019 Newsnight interview in which Andrew showed the world he was guilty AF and Sam McAlister, the BBC Newsnight producer and booker

The duality of Bluesky.

We don't thank god at the #Baftas, save it for the Oscars.

as a library worker—summary tools & LLM chatbots invisibilize our labor. “chat with a librarian” & calling the reference desk are decades-old mechanisms to get information from trained experts about what you have access to. there is also so much pleasure in browsing & discovering something new!

I want winter olympics every year. But only 1 week of curling tops, no hockey and bobsleighs need to be a retro design of no earlier than 1975

I think this is as close as you'll ever get to the King of England being like

I've had cerebral palsy since the moment I was born and only in the past 3 months have I been seeing a neuro physio who actually understands my brain and body and it's honestly changed my life Every week she casually explains how something always I've blamed myself for is just my neurology

Did you know? Canadian women produced an estimated 400,000 quilts during WWII (the number is likely higher, but Canadian Red Cross records are incomplete) to send overseas to comfort soldiers and British families displaced by bombing.

“That’s Winston Churchill snuggling with Clement Attlee,” I said at the local pet shop where I name each incoming rodent after a British prime minister, in sequence.

@support.bsky.team Please can you look at the problem visually impaired people are having since drafts went live? They can no longer post. Could you at least let them know you are aware and your plans for a fix? #blindsky #accessibility #equslity #disability

Hey @bluesky, my friend @christmascoffee.bsky.social and others with visual impairment still cannot post since you put the draft option live. Please , please can you fix this or communicate with them your plans about this? #blindsky #disability #accessibility #inclusion #help

Hugely important story in tomorrow’s Guardian. Domestic violence suicides growing at a rate that a woman in an abusive relationship is now more likely to take her own life than be killed by a partner. But official stats may track as few as 10% of the true number. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Not sure how many of us can fit in there. Maybe it leads to Narnia.

I don't do party politics on here and you can have your own opinion of Starmer - good or bad - but what is undeniably the case is that Westminster journalists became massively invested in a hyped-up narrative of their own devising and debased political commentary in so doing.

I just can’t imagine Ramsbottom having a block party. The nearest we get is street parties for royal weddings where we sit politely and eat fairy cakes and play party games like pin the tail on the donkey. If i started playing music and dancing in the streets the neighbours would have me arrested

Ricky!

Oh wow!! There’s soooo much to love about this. #BadBunny #SuperBowl

Watching in the uk and the music is great but we cannot hear Bad Bunny’s vocals. Is it just us?

One of the things that must end is leniency in remand for elites. As a trainee husband worked on a case where the client was 'only' alllwed to keep one of his helicopters during his wait for trial. Privilege, including wealth, should come with responsibility and greater recompense.

Team GB, figure skating and the Spice Girls. That’s the kind of Olympics I love 🇬🇧

Best alt text today And Life Manifesto

Oh not this again - they rely on having lawyers they can find against disabled people who most self fund a prosecution. When will The CPS enforce the Equality Act? another example of govt’s failing disabled people

Books are really cheap on eBay. Usually free postage too

When the UK govt talks about disabled people getting back to work, the reality is the govt doesn’t provide the infrastructure for disabled people to be independent.

I am so old I had The Muppet Show wallpaper on my (bedroom) walls.

Am bored of the ponce moving from one mansion into a smaller mansion stories. Yeah that’ll show him! That’s a tough sentence to serve under His Majesty’s Purse , HMP Sandringham ! Is it all meant to appease us? Do they think this will work?

…and now it has failed me—and other survivors—by demonstrating a profound disregard for the safety, protection, and well-being of victims of crimes like these.” A review of 47 victims’ full names found that 43 of them were left unredacted. They’re getting death threats from the MAGA lunatics. 💔🤬

“A capitalist society requires a culture based on images. It needs to furnish vast amounts of entertainment in order to stimulate buying and anesthetise the injuries of class, race, and sex. And it needs to gather unlimited amounts of information, the better to exploit natural resources, increase

Collection of newspaper headlines from The Punxsutawney Spirit, Groundhog Day 1940s, '50s, 60s I think my favorite is "He's Cooking Up Special Mess of Weather for Joe Stalin"

The Cure just won Grammys for "Alone" AND "Songs Of A Lost World" and aren't there because they are attending Perry Bamonte's funeral. :( But Jesse Welles read a lovely note from Robert Smith that (among other things) thanks the Cure's fans. 🖤

If King Charles continues to aid and abet the prevention of justice regarding his brothers criminality, then he’s has no place being in his own position

You know would send a clear message? Arresting and charging Andrew Windsor, no bail, prison sentence. I’m British and I don’t want him free and out and about, still enjoying his five star lifestyle . He’s a criminal. Why would be not be charged? Makes no sense.

Sending love to all SA survivors stumbling upon unredacted descriptions of the President of The United States assaulting girls as they're scrolling social media today Please read with caution and take care of yourself 🩷 #epsteinfiles

I’ve deliberately not posted the content direct but left it so you have to scroll down the thread to see it. How this does not bring down the admin, and e writhing who allowed this admin, I do not know. #EpsteinFiles

I worry so much about all the inhumanity . Then I read Macauley Culkin’s statement about losing Catherine O’Hara and it’s so so heart breakingly sad. But it reminded me that we ARE still human, love and care and kindness is real and is present. RIP Catherine O’Hara, and love to her loved ones

R.I.P. Catherine O’Hara. Absolute icon.🥺🥀

RNIB Scotland has a new project which aims to provide more advice, support, events and community connections for blind and partially sighted people living in rural or isolated areas of Scotland. David Hogg spoke to Marion Bauer form the Scottish Borders.

Holly Valance, a pretty girl with a pop career that did not take off like Kylie’s, who married very well and has a billionaire lifestyle .., Yet not very bright, uncouth, hateful and attention seeking. The definition of money can’t buy class. What a sad way to be.

Not the cheeriest graph I’ve ever seen. Good work under Blair, at least in the first two terms, but not enough to undo the effects of one in particular of his predecessors

This is a well known tactic of the DWP “trying it on” after a review, to see if the recipient will challenge them and go to appeal - something which disabled people have less energy and resources to do. It is extremely distressing to all they use this tactic on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
