Nothing to see here? Well, this is a slow moving 🧵 for #skystorians and others about #eyeglasses of the past, about how to read in the past, where to buy eyeglasses, and how to do with them in general. The hashtag is #HowToDoWithGlassesInThePast Let's roll.

Farage: epic grifter

#channel4 playing an absolute blinder tonight. Hope my favourite non-uk folks can watch it @helenkennedy.bsky.social @janecaro.bsky.social @manmademoon.bsky.social

A wonderful tribute for a beautiful man. @dieworkwear.bsky.social

A demonstrator at the "Unite the Kingdom" protest today: “Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated.” “Someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer.” But yes, the problem is the violence by the radical left 🤷‍♂

Esp given assassination of Kirk in US i find Musk's intervention here, calling for dissolution of parliament and a new govt, really scary . Also UK govt bodies should get the fuck off X.

If - as appears to be the case - the shooter is a cis male, white, hetero, Christian, rightwing, pro-gun background then I fear for the likelihood of him living long enough to see the inside of a courtroom where the path to his indoctrination to violence can be explored.

How about that.

Thought this was The Onion at first. This is for a guy who is currently tanking their sales in Europe

Ffs. Took a video of tonight's sunset for my mum, but thanks to @thetrawl.bsky.social soundtrack, I've mistakenly made some hellish tourist information film for fecking Reform. I'm blaming @jemmaforte.bsky.social for this

Being against vaccines when diseases are rampant (measles, Covid) is like adding chlorine to the gene pool. Darwin is watching.

Nothing shows you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize like threatening economic warfare if you don't get it.

Feather stars are marine invertebrates related to starfish and sea urchins they are characterized by their feathery branching arms which they use to filter food particles from the water many species of feather stars are capable of swimming freely…

Legitimate Concerns?

I get to live here ❤️

i dno, maybe time to let it go

perfect comedy timing from the Speaker at #PMQs calling Nigel Farage after Starmer promises to go after “the fraudsters, the grifters, the con artists no matter who they are” 😄

Happy World Porcupine Day! For those wondering what a baby porcupine is called, it’s a porcupette. For those wondering what a group of porcupines is called, it’s a prickle. And for those wondering what porcupines sound like, turn up your volume for this smol guy called Kemosabe nomming on a banana…

The speed of America's descent into lawlessness and fascism—and the lack of a meaningful response from political leaders—is genuinely shocking.

Occasionally I get phonecalls about 'the accident I was in'. I slowly string them along, easy does it. They usually cut off at the point when I tell them I drove my petrol tanker into a Variety Club Sunshine Coach being driven by Bernie Winters. Once I got someone as far as "Schnorbitz was on fire"

I HAVE NOW RESTORED THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

Continually rebuilding his only friend until it likes him... I haven't seen a person go to these lengths to get affirmation since I drank a bottle of vinegar during Freshers week.

This is the monument the Irish people built for them. It's in Cork.

Happy Musk vs Trump day for all those celebrating.

Jordan Peterson on lasagne

Quite the payoff

Reform huge gains are not to be underestimated but that's a very telling little strip.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Bukele: I don't have the power to return him to the United States. Trump: I don't have the power to remove him from El Salvador. How conveniently powerless these strong-man-wanna-bes are...

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank the people of the United States of America for taking the mantle of World's Stupidest Nation from the shoulders of the United Kingdom 8 long years we bore that burden in Britain because of Brexit but now it's yours 🏆 you maniacs

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

There will be a #partialsolareclipse later this morning but don't worry if you can't see it because in the Archive we have some incredible photographs of previous solar eclipses, taken by #Orkney photographer Tom Kent. This was taken 100 years ago in January 1925.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Dennis, at 10secs in, should be where MAGA is right now. Unfortunately, MAGA isn't as clever as dogs

Epic idea

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

To all once presidents of the US. As a demonstration for the dignity of the office which you all once held, please speak out. In the words of Martin Luther King “Silence is complicity“. #Biden #Obama #Bush #Clinton

Shitler just canceled any peace talks bc he is offended that Zelenskyy stood his ground. Let me be clear: Zelenskyy didn’t offend the US. We have always stood by our allies in defending democracy. Shitler & CouchFuqr wanted someone to buff their egos. Zelenskyy is too much of a man to do that.

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.
