A lil bump on the ol' screen printed t-shirt front.

“In the last year of the Conservative Government alone, 115 prisoners were released in error, including a series of serious offenders. “At no point did this fact ever make the front pages of British newspapers, or lead news bulletins on the BBC.”

Ordered a 475g pack of chicken wings (£1.80) but they were out of stock, so received a 1kg pack of chicken thigh fillets (£9.95) instead, gotta love the staff fulfilling Waitrose online orders.

I hope openAI and its ilk are sued into oblivion.

I'm never sure how effective these things are, but it only takes a minute so please consider signing this petition to offer massage therapy on the NHS: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/of...

BREAKING: In Colorado, Voters approved a ballot measure to raise state income taxes on households earning $300,000 or more in order to fund free meals for all public school students. They voted to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for free meals for public school students.

Another abominable editorial from the Wash Post

This. A thousand times this.

This reads so much better when you realise the toilet paper holder is empty 🤣

Wondering why some people are not thrilled by Starmer's digital ID card brain fart? then next week's (10 November 18:00-19:00) online event hosted by Liberty is probably for you. Register here: action.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/180462/...

@libertyhq.bsky.social When will you be adding Bluesky links to your website and emails? *hint hint*

The UAE where hugging in public can get you arrested, where human rights barely exist, where foreign workers are routinely abused, where critics of the regime routinely disappear, where an Indian nanny was shot by firing squad in March & where marital rape is not a criminal offence but being gay is.

Portal 14, St Ann, Jamaica. If you have spare money (I know, in this economy) please consider donating to help people in Jamaica recover from the extensive damage caused by hurricane Melissa. supportjamaica.gov.jm official gov website, or research local Jamaican charities. Be wary of scams!

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Faiza Shaheen, an actual academic is labelled an "activist", while FORMER academic Goodwin isn't labelled the conservative commentator that he is. I wonder why?

An entire segment of the population is being repeatedly told that ’illegal immigration‘ - which is in fact barely 5% of immigration - is the dominant problem in this country. This is a media-driven phenomenon.

Still flogging the dead horse of my folklore / folk horror starter pack. If you can't flog a dead horse this time of year, when can you?! UK & Ireland suggestions welcome. Who am I missing?

The expected switch-off date of 2035 follows the end of ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5’s current licences in 2034, the same year their contracts with Arqiva, the company that owns the UK’s TV transmitter network, finish. https://bit.ly/42VipVc

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...

Good morning 😊

It is that time of the year when the DIY dal kit becomes available. Makes a terrific gift, just be sure to order one for yourself! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/diy-dal-ki...

800 words please on why this proves the Labour and Conservative strategy to primarily target Reform voters is working perfectly.

If there is one thing I've learned from TV shows, it is the fact that criminals often return to the scene of the crime to mock the police.

wild that the United States claims to be defunding the arts while also getting ready to stage the most immersive live-action remake of Les Miserables that the world has ever seen

Weirdly, bluesky won't let me see anything unless I verify my account. So much for the we'll only restrict direct messaging and spicy content if you don't hand over your personal details. Good old VPNs

Via Press Gazette: "The Daily Star’s livestream of the Liz Truss lettuce has been acquired by the British Film Institute’s National Archive for a collection of significant pieces of online video. The BFI’s curator said it was “a seminal moment in British political history”"

Tommy Ten-Names blames a 'capitulation to terror'. But Maccabi Tel Aviv blame Tommy Ten-Names.

Go Poland!

What drugs is this guy on?? Bat shit bonkers doesn't even begin to describe the lunacy he spouts.

If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

A play in three acts

Funny, how the "No Kings" protesters were "elderly white hippies" in August (per Stephen Miller), but are "pro-Hamas terrorists and violent criminals" in October (per Karoline Leavitt). It's *almost* as if this regime makes its shameless lies up as it goes along . . .

The thought of losing $$$s as people reconsider using Salesforce is a great motivator to 'apologise'. I have to laugh at him referring to SF as 'our city', he's been holed up in Hawaii since Covid, buying up as much land as he can. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

Starmer attempt to reverse ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans is a dangerous own goal trib.al/QN7I2sr

The media seems to forget to mention that when Tel Aviv Maccabi fans went to Amsterdam, there were reports they chanted “we will f**k the arabs” and ““There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left.” They also pulled down Palestinian flags. They were met with attacks from locals.

The British media are deliberately leaving out the Maccabi fan's racist chants about killing Arabs & raping Palestinian women plus failing to mention the violent rampage they went on in Amsterdam. The British media is completely captured by the Israeli Govt lobby. Shocking one-sided reporting.

This bozo makes me laugh, "very productive phone call" indeed. He waltzed back from Alaska saying the war was as good as over, only for Putin to double down on attacks. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

I bought a Brita jug 6 years ago, every few years the battery in the memo timer that tells you when to replace the filter dies. I log in to my Brita account and request a new one and it arrives in about a week, free of charge. It's little things that keep you (me) loyal.

Curious to know why skull bookends make good gifts for women and not men. As it happens I'm buying a set to cater for my @helleborezine.bsky.social collection, which has outgrown the bedroom shelf.

I read an article at the weekend about people using ChatGPT to create content and conversations for dating apps, now they can outsource the spicy shit too. It won't be long before AI goes in the same dumpster as NFTs.

someone's got to make a standsomeone's got to make a stand

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.
