Dinner is 12-2pm, tea is 4-6pm (I'm northern). I've always hated late meal bookings and I'm Gen X. Besides, eating at six leaves more time for wine.🍷 Gen Z has brought us the 6pm dinner – and I am not ready for it | Polly Hudson www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At last, this "Labour" government has done something kind. Though, disappointed in my local MP, @chionwurah.bsky.social I wonder if she's talked to many of the people she represents? #AssistedDying #AssistedDyingBill #Newcastle

There's a lot to loathe about t'internet these days, but... it's helping me to "attend" a talk by @notrollergirl.bsky.social at @huddlitfest.bsky.social from the comfort of my uncrowded, peaceful, couch, and that's blinkin' brill. 😊 #AuDHD #DaisyBuchanan #HuddersfieldLiteraryFestival

🚨🌱 The Chancellor is reviewing all public spending from scratch. Please join me in signing the @campaignforthearts.org petition to remind the UK Govt: the arts make our lives happier & our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them. www.campaignforthearts.org/petitions/sp...

Wish I could let #BBCNews app know NOT to tell me anything about Trump, or the Pope. Multiple updates per day about the Pope's flu in a secular country. C'mon. Personalisation would be good. Thinking of deleting the app.

I think this ALL the time it's sorta the same in the UK (though there is subsidised help for the poorest). #DentalCare #EyeCare #NHS x.com/trom771/stat...

What a day. Knackered but happy. N'night.

This is the most interesting video on the #Kindle controversy I've seen lately. 👍🏼 NB: I managed to backup all my books to my NAS drive in time, and when my Kindle dies, I'm getting a #Kobo. Bye bye Bezos. youtube.com/watch?v=oqt7...

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock. Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word. #WorldBookDay

How are the citizens of USA (United Soviet America) liking their new flag? #SovietAmerica #FührerTrümp

Today is my #Twitter birthday apparently. (I'll never call it X). I joined in 2009. My first follow was India Knight, can't remember why. It was fun for about a decade, huh? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

No envy. Sorry not sorry.

The way things are with so-called "patriots" at the mo, kinda makes me proud that I've discovered there's NO English in my DNA. 60% Irish (South) 🇮🇪 37% Scottish (Highlands) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 3% Scandanavian (Lowlands) 🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇱 Wonder how many "English" nuts would be similarly surprised by their results? 🤭

Quite liked #BetterMan. The whole chimp thing didn't distract and somehow added an extra layer of humanity to Williams' suffering.

Maybe it's good that Trump's destroying the "ironclad" constitution, coz, honestly, it seems pretty flimsy. I mean it somehow allowed a felon to become the King of a republic and raid the treasury. 🤷🏼‍♀️ When the new one's written up in 2028, maybe they shouldn't include all the gun shit either.

Every time I see a cybertruck, I think about how the dude that bought it thought he was going to look SO COOL driving it, and instead he is roundly mocked by both drivers of regular trucks and drivers of non-Teslas. And also, apparently, small children

Watched Croíthe Radacacha (Radical Hearts) last night on @tg4.bsky.social. A fascinating look into the #lesbian couples at the heart of the #IrishRevolution. 🇮🇪 Historians are now finding that #Queer women have often been central in the big fights against oppression & inequality. 🏳️‍🌈 #Suffragettes

I'm part of a dying breed that likes awards shows, but this year... I dunno... I'm mustering for tonight's #BAFTA show. Let's see. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Got three right in this year, and all from the start. Way off with the other ten, like. 😄 #TheMadkedSingetUK Bush = Natalie Cassidy Wolf = Marti Pellow / Martin Fry Dressed Crab = Gregory Porter

#Toon were shite today. Full stop. #NUFC

So glad #Gogglebox is back. It's like having your old pals 'round again. A little light in these fucked up #Trumpageddon times. Honestly, watching it felt like the first time I'd smiled in weeks.

If like me you're here, because you're trying to disconnect from the Müsk and Zück (ad-filled) fascist propaganda machines. #Pixelfed is a great alternative to Zück's #Instagram. Insta is the last one I "actively" use but I'm maybe gearing up to jump from that one too. techcrunch.com/2025/01/14/d...
