This is enraging. Yet on here so many self congratulatory Americans purring about their “no kings” gatherings which will do precisely NOTHING. 😡😡😡

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Potatoes (a main ingredient in both the “traditional” Sunday roast and fish & chips) only arrived in the British Isles from South America around the 1580s, & didn’t catch on as a popular food until the late 18th century; which is also about the same time curry arrived in the UK

I thank the book gods for putting this in front of me at a bookshop in Berlin ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 It’s my first visit and i’ve found the psycho geography of the place quite disorientating & confronting (wasn’t expecting that) This book helped tremendously, brilliant read @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Insight — Putin’s influence over Trump remains strong There is no foreign leader who has appeared more able to manipulate Donald Trump than Vladimir Putin. www.ft.com/content/d5fe...

No idea why this was spewed at me by YT but it was very depressing to watch (predictably as Carr a prick) but the comments by Americans below just..the place and people are fucked. Done. Heres hoping Carr stays in Texas where he belongs. youtu.be/R-UskaJ08yM?...

Final Destination had nothing on British public information films.

Very much liking Tommy Tuchel NGAF what anyone thinks #LATENG

On what planet is this a UK relevant article ? Nothing to do with UK - an American writer obsessing about a Chinese Journalists opinions about US @theguardian.com sort it out? Just relentlessly US focused Zzzz Zzz

Not convinced about a Sleb #CelebrityTraitors

Richard Serra, To Lift, 1967 https://botfrens.com/collections/14377/contents/1137106

The families and friends of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby will be sitting shiva in the coming week. In sympathy with them during that time what a powerful thing it would be not to take to the streets but to break bread with our neighbours and help show terrorism will not win.

I loved this series and the Turner episode was particularly brilliant A shame Simon Schama isn’t on here

😢

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Extraordinary talk with Don McCullin at RA this evening.

Ha ha

Impossible to watch this and not see America 2025 & Trump.

How foreign news defaults to 'goodies and baddies', and baulks at coverage of the morally ambivalent markurban.substack.com/p/who-are-th...

What are you doing as my MP to bring independence to BBC News? @stellacreasy.bsky.social

I can’t quite believe how Kuenessburg just opened her program? With the PM sat there who has been elected with a massive majority unlike herself?

This is a great idea

Music journalism was once funded by labels advertising. In 2025, barely any record labels advertise, instead paying influencers to gab on. If you believe in cultural criticism and long-form writing, becoming a tQ subscriber is one vital way to ensure it survives: thequietus.com/subscribers/

I mean, it’s alright for you on however millions of pounds they offer you to write this drivel in the Mail to opt out of a tool to use state services. You can sit on the private jet to your mate’s Caribbean island chortling about it. The naive proles who listens to you, otoh

This. Its so obvious? The online world is killing democracy and making everyone stupid. Yet no one in authority, Government, Public life in UK seems to be saying this?

If there is one historical person I would love to have a cup of tea with it would be Artemisia Gentileschi

Although I did think of @philiphoare.bsky.social when I saw this

Why is this specifically called “BBC Verify” when its exactly what “BBC News” should be???!! Drive me nuts

Since when did Varoufakis become a British Voter?

In which, remarkably, while talking about the fiscal bind, and even after Jeremy Hunt goes on about acting in the interests of the country, no one brings up the TWO NI cuts carried out largely if not solely for narrow party political ends. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Hackey has tipped from gentrification to established middle class: the public school boys have arrived and declared half of London Fields out of bounds on a Saturday

The root of all problems in UK Would love to see a US equivalent graph

Americans have a weird idea of what baking a cake means

I had a much better day not being here.

The absolute state of America. Reminds me of my A Level European History classes when late 19c/ early 20c Europe was imploding with a ridiculous number of Left/Right/anarchist/fascist/you name it political nonsense.

Good old Chiles

I must say Americans dream up such awful horrors.

This cheered me up

One of the things to understand about Russian provocations going back to the Soviet era, is that they are not some kind of trolling. They are always purposeful. Aggressors like Putin expand into areas of weakness. And with the absence of US leadership, NATO has never looked weaker.

Also not a sniff being reported in UK The world is depressing

the most unsurprising news ever

These ITV crime dramas are all the same

Look forward to the extensive discussion of this on BBC Oh wait..

This is real, somehow

A mob of angry drunken men screaming abuse outside an asylum hotel have defended their actions, saying all they want is for women and girls to feel safe walking the streets. From the new Private Eye, out now.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.

STOP WITH THE FUCKING “UNCS” @samdlee.bsky.social

He also said this. Don’t be a as deliberately misleading as the wankers you disdain
