Silly me I keep forgetting that stopping at red traffic lights is optional for car drivers in Manchester

Nothing gives me the ick more than when tv shows/films ‘maw’ a meme as a plot device and they’re invariably just utterly nonsensical

Working on some really exciting stuff for work at the moment but none of it will happen for 5-15 years 😭

People need to stop messaging me about the ferris wheel in Albert Square like I’m personally responsible 😭

Plaid Cymru won a seat held by Labour for 100 years so naturally Sky News are interviewing the Reform Party chairman about it.

Worried about what Manchester Pride Ltd going into liquidation means for the future of pride, but kind of felt inevitable and maybe this means Pride can get back to what it should be about, and not their CEO’s ego.

I see running red lights in the same category as drink driving it’s repulsive

I’ve not posted my poor attempts at portion control lately

A pox upon the previous owners of my flat who painted the walls dark blue

Government loses bid to block Palestine Action ban appeal www.bbc.com/news/article...

Being woken up early by teams notification sounds does not spark joy

Manchester Pride continuing to keep it classy 🙄 Performers say Manchester Pride owes thousands in unpaid fees www.bbc.com/news/article...

Made a stew in autumn without using a kilogram of beef

Have give up today and decided I hate painting and resent not being able to pay a professional

DIY gays please help. It’s only the first base coat on a dark wall but this is definitely not right

The idea that Trump’s day has been ruined by not winning the Nobel Peace Prize is v v v funny

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Made an actually okay risotto with stuff leftover in the fridge 😌

A fan writes

He’s been shite but genuinely wasn’t expecting Starmer to out himself as a fascist this week.

Not to be all ‘the terrorists have won’ but can they not grasp the insanity of saying you shouldn’t protest because of a terrorist attack ?!

Genuinely hilarious how dead the Tory party conference is

This is absolutely shameful from Mahmood.The fact this supposedly 'Labour' government has done more to suppress the right to protest than the tory government is extremely concerning. Mahmood and the entire government should be listening to the protests not preventing them.

Apologies I’ve just realised this is, in a crowded field, potentially the most boring thing I’ve ever posted

I’ll try pretty much any food but have never got on with eggs so I’m trying to force myself to like them though exposure and this is my first attempt at an omelette. Not completely awful.

I’m not like scared scared of heights but getting to this viewpoint involved walking across a metal deck that looked straight through to the floor five floors below which was not my favourite thing

Hello Mayfield

Conor stop buying tequila challenge

Don’t know if I can count this as a hill to die on but doing stuff on Friday night is an infinitely better use of weekend time than Saturday night

It's not ID cards per se I have issue with - but the expectation that comes with them that any one of us can be stopped at any moment and required to produce ID without suspicion or charge sets off every alarm bell possible for me.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Goose road block

Why does it need a firmware update 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Made myself an enormous disgusting dinner and I’m thrilled

Bought a new toothbrush and it asked me what language I wanted

Monday!!!

Gen Z’ers forming queues at bars will be my 13th reason

Last day cry

No one died !!!

Managed to successfully not food poison anyone so far so I have one night left to kill them all

Going on holiday tomorrow so told my flatmate I’d be back around midnight on Thursday and he asked how that’s any different to a normal Thursday 😭😭😭

I am actually Quite Sad about Rayner. As the report implies she clearly wasn’t actively avoiding tax but still right to resign. Just annoying that if it was a Tory minister they wouldn’t resign but then that’s exactly why I’d think they’re pricks.

Saw two nerdy gays at the bar being cutesy and gay and now I’m embittered and depressed

I made vegetarian food again !!

First meeting was at another organisation so now in my office and there are no desks why is god testing me

NEW: A devastating before and after montage of Rasheed Street in Gaza City. Put together by local photojournalist, Motaz Azaiza.

Delusional.

Trying to be responsible and not go to bed at 0600 for once so looking forward to staring at the ceiling for four hours

[Sky News, which has spent years inciting hatred against migrants] Wow, how could this possibly happen?
