I'd appreciate if you read the alt text on this. Thank you. www.tom-cox.com

Worth noting that "lol I've resigned" doesn't reset a parliamentary investigation into an MP btw. If they get reelected it resumes, and they still face the consequences if found guilty. Because the people who came up with the process for investigations were not, in fact, idiots.

The nice things about books: once you own them, you own them, forever. No one will be eye tracking your reading habits. No one will make money of you reading the book as many times as you'd like. And the very same book can be read by generations to come. It can last centuries, literally. It's great.

Get in! Fruitful commuting no than scrolling. The last and most recent @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social paperback 'Everything will swallow you' just arrived to complete a birthday literary splurge. Well done @blackwellbooks for free p&p. Anticipating annoying fellow pax with involuntary sounds. Good!

Stunning😍

Something beautiful for the weekend! An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell c. 500,000-300,000 years ago! From West Tofts, Norfolk 📷 MAA Cambridge University collections.maa.cam.ac.uk/objects/4509... #Archaeology

THREAD. A collection of photos I have taken of excellent cats I have met on walks. You will find the captions to the photos in the alt text.

A stunning amber bead necklace, dating 6th century BC, from Saal a.d.Saale-Waltershausen. It appears that amber served a dual purpose, enhancing the appearance and protecting the women who wore it during the Hallstatt period. The intriguing material, sourced from the Baltic region,...🧵1/2 📷 me

btw if you ARE going to do a PM transition then summer recess is absolutely the least-worst time to do it. especially if you can do a no-contest transition. gives bored journos something to write about that isn't nigel farage. who loves to use the summer gap to shove himself in front of cameras.

Kids just spitting out facts.

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Thomas House of Dublin exhibiting the pro-human solidarity that all of us should demonstrate.

Yesterday’s result shows that Reform can be beaten, just as the Liberal Democrats have done in local elections across the country. But while Labour fight over the keys to No. 10, people are struggling. We need real change, not more chaos, starting with a new deal with Europe.

The joy today is that hatred lost. Doesn't matter what you think of Burnham. Farage tried to invite a race riot. He dealt in explicitly racial rhetoric. If he'd won, many journalists would have considered it a vindication of his approach and branded our outrage evidence of how out of touch we are.

RIP Anthony Head. Loved many things he was in, including the Nescafe Gold Blend adverts. But best of all, he showed us that, whatever the problem, a librarian can find an answer for it. #LoveLibraries #AnthonyHead #LibrariansRock

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

From the writer who made me sob silently, poolside in Tobago and then cackle maniacally, my pal thought “sunstroke?”. Anyway, If you don’t like cats you’re a Wrong’un. Read this please. It’s free, then you can subscribe like I did for equally beautiful lyrical content…and get his books obvs.

❌ Vote AGAINST the bill to stop workplace sexual harassment ❌ Stack the party with anti-abortion politicians - some opposing termination even if rape ❌ Push “pro-family” policies that put women back in the home I guess the question is… Do you hate immigrants more than you love your rights?

Snort laughs can sting a nostril if suppressed, just found this out on the train.

CARE WORK IS HIGHLY SKILLED WORK and only paid so poorly because of the failure of successive governments to value it properly.

honestly, it’s refreshing to see vance as the face of failure on the world stage in multiple settings. he’s not a good person and he’s not good at what he does. the literal world is telling him this right now

So happy for Hungarians - a chance to stop the erosion of democracy, corruption, and economic malaise. And such an unqualified middle finger to Trump, Vance and Putin - and all the politicians in Europe who endorsed Orban, like Meloni, Wilders, Weidel, Le Pen. All losers tonight

Well, I’ve done it! I’ve subscribed, it’s cheaper than getting a ship through the Straits of Hormuz and a damn sight more cheerful. No brainer right now in the current climate of putrescence. I’m off to get stuck in and cleanse my metaphorical mental palette. 🌳🐈

I do have the ebook- splendid stuff. 🚨🚨⬇️⬇️⬇️🏰🏰

This is so well done. 👌

It is truly remarkable that after the Vietnam War, after the Afghanistan War, after a catalogue of US military failures in the post 1945 world, people claiming to be serious analysts are saying because the US dropped alot of bombs it won this war. It did not.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Trump's whole strategy with Iran was to break the "rules" and kill their leaders. He assumed that would scare everyone else into submission. Instead Iran said, "No rules? OK, then we'll close the Strait and fling missiles at every oil facility within 2400 miles. How many Patriots you got left?"

The image of Princess Anne throat-punching Trump and delivering an absolute kicking to Hegseth would do an awful lot to overcome the sins of Empire.

Princess Anne walking into that grotesque White House ballroom like

Reporter to Starmer: “Trump says the US won’t back the UK anymore. How seriously do you take that threat?” Starmer: “It won’t change my position. I serve the British national interest. Whatever the noise.” Whatever the noise. Trump is an international embarrassment.

Hear me out. Keep the State Visit, but send Princess Anne instead.

One minute later @ 4:01pm BBC News post something. It took them all day before reporting on HUNDREDS of thousands of people gathering in London @togetheralliance.bsky.social - of course, giving prominence to last year’s Unite the Kingdom hate march.

Just had a look at the BBC 'news' website and not a single mention of the Together Alliance and other anti fascist marches in London today. Not. One. Mention. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

Wishing everyone a joyous NO KINGS DAY 3.0- Thank you to everyone across the globe for your participation in the Resistance... an inspiration to us ALL!!! 🙏 The signs you're carrying are off-the-charts perfection. 👌 7 months until the Midterms! 🗓️ #NoKings2026 👎 👑 #AccountabilityIsComing

If we had some ham, we could have ham and eggs, if we had some eggs.

Creating a war and making announcements about it allows Trump and his family to buy, sell, and place puts on stocks and commodities as well as gamble on their own predictive sites with inside knowledge. Never, in human history, has there been a more evil regime. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/u...

The deep, deep stench of corruption.

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

People in Margate are standing up against Southern Water. ❌They’ve taken out £2.3 billion in dividends ❌Loaded the company with over £5 billion in debt ❌Dumped over 300,000 hours of sewage in 2024 Now they are prosecuting Julia Wassmer for refusing to pay. Shame on Southernwater!

One of the most historically accurate film depictions of the death of Caesar ;) From 'Carry On Cleo', 1964.

Extraction No.3 tomorrow - back to Victor Hugo main character energy for me this week. BUT…this will happily distract my brain in the dentist chair and make me want to cry less…as I stare up at the artexing, gargling my saliva…thinking about upside knees.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
