Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Respect to the guy on the train who has just been eating cake for breakfast. It was a plain sponge but it had buttercream on top. There might have been a thin layer of jam under that. He had it in a takeaway tub and even had a teaspoon to eat it with 😄 That’s how you rock a Thursday.

Farage: epic grifter

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

It’s not even 9 am here and I feel like I just need to give up on the day and nap because WTF. Sold out. Why do they even exist?

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Zohran Mamdani tells CNN: "If Netanyahu comes to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next year while I am mayor, I will move to honour the ICC arrest warrant issued in The Hague against him, just as I would against Putin. He is responsible for the genocide in Gaza.”

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

An exquisite fossil of a 240-million-year-old marine reptile reveals it had partially webbed fingers and toes. The exceptional preservation also hinted at underlying limb muscles that suggest it swam like seal. #Paleontology #MonteSanGiorgio 🧪🏺 New for @sciencenews.bsky.social

So in April, when taking up his post, Robert F Kennedy Jr pledged to determine the cause of autism in 5 months and now, just as those 5 months are up, he’s “found” it? That’s convenient.

In this post truth era, Farage can say anything and people will believe it. We can do the same.

Farage: "No one voted to let migrants in, so we will put our people first" Just because Brexiters didn't have a clue what they were voting for, doesn't mean it wasn't your fault. YOU increased boat-peeps from 1,835 a year pre-Brexit to 45,755 after. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Schools are under-resourced, underfunded, and children are paying the price. @AdamJamesDance.bsky.social has introduced his bill calling for universal neurodivergence screening in primary schools to support pupils across the country.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

I don't believe in mob violence nor government censorship of speech but it's very hard not to notice that the government that are imprisoning pensioners for opposing genocide with writing on cardboard are worried that people might not be free enough to call for acts of violence against trans women.

Spotted in a charity shop. Oooft. Prescient?

Often you’ll be walking on Dartmoor & some ponies will be like “Follow us, we will lead you to the castle where the wizard lives & life is perfect!” My advice, from experience, is to ignore them.
