Life-saving idea! Pass it on!

That this is presented by the media as “policy” is why we are in this mess. These are not serious people. These are monkey tennis ideas, as divorced from the reality of criminal justice as you might expect from a company fronted by multi-millionaire simpletons.

Attempting to eliminate funding for certain kinds of “woke” studies, the Trump administration erased hundreds of millions of dollars being used for cancer research. www.wired.com/story/how-tr...

All worthy subjects, but do we really need another day of 'Let us now Praise Famous Men' at #TheGuardian? @theguardian.com #obituaries #wherearethewomen #everydaysexism

A nicely turned tribute to June Spencer, on 'a lovely June day'; but I'm not wearing deep black crêpe for Peggy. #TheArchers

I have been informed that the Jack Woolley Pavilion was only built in 1982... #TheArchers

I suspect Joy won’t be one of those characters who flees to Canada: probably destined for Great Yarmouth? Clarrie might head off to see her sister (Rosie?), and find her. #TheArchers

Wasn’t Usha famously untidy when she and Richard lived together? Or was that only Richard? Auntie Satya used to leave domestic comfort in her wake. #TheArchers

That should definitely become a regular carol tune! Going to bed feeling Christmassy thanks to #TheArchers ⛄️🎄🎉🎅 Merry Christmas Bluesky folks ❤️

A year in the life of a Liverpool meadow… Since I moved into my home in 2021, I’ve taken on managing 2ha of @lpoolcouncil.bsky.social grassland for wildlife. From then, the diversity and abundance of wildflowers has skyrocketed!! 😍🌱

I remember Boules at The Bull; but need reminding about this Bowling Alley. Highlights? Goings on down the hall to Hell … ? Bowls, Boules, Bull. ‘Tis all a muddle to me. #TheArchers

Catching up with Chris Hayes, who played the whole Access Hollywood tape tonight for a segment on how young voters have just discovered it. I had kind of forgotten that it wasn't just the grabbing pussy comment, but there was so much more gross stuff on that tape. What a disgusting pig Trump is.

Rishi Sunak speaking ‘on behalf’ of all UK citizens is an unverifiable assertion given that he’s an unelected prime minister and refuses to call an election. That’s unelected by the country AND unelected by his own party.

Yes, apparently it's completely fine to enforce austerity, drop energy efficiency measures, leave the EU, single market and customs union, bribe people to "eat out to help out" and deport vulnerable refugees to Rwanda, based on unverified assumptions 🤷‍♂️

On this day 168 years ago, Emily Williamson was born. 🦋 At age 34, she founded the RSPB, setting the stage for over a century of vital work protecting nature, which continues today. Happy Birthday, Emily — here's to your enduring impact!

New users, you have to follow WAY more people here for an active timeline than you did on Twitter. If this place feels dead, you’re almost certainly not following enough other users. There’s no centralized algorithm that just puts stuff in front of you - although you can subscribe to feeds.

What's with his insistence on having the convo, anyway? Alice should be trying to understand Harry's "managing" tendency and then run away, fast, don't you think?

@rosietay.bsky.social Delighted to see you here, Rosie, as will lots of your old friends from #TheArchers.

Antivaxxers bringing back measles is a reason to worry about way more than just measles

LOL I've just got to the end of the consultation and it's like "We don't think there are any equalities impacts, right?" while citing three white rich people, of whom the only woman achieved fame through marriage, as the only kind of person whose lives they think are worth remembering.

Glad to welcome another long-term listener from other #TheArchers sites. Hello @jasperbarry.bsky.social. I hope you find your way around soon.

Tories: oops, we can't do this, it will make some believe we are in favour of the "evil 15 minutes cities" Tories shelve pledge for everyone in UK to live 15 minutes from a green space www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"I don't want anyone to think that I thought Long Covid wasn't a serious problem," says Boris Johnson, who scribbled "Bollocks" and "this is Gulf War Syndrome stuff" over a note referring to its existence.

To clarify for those not in UK academia: this means no foreigners qualify to even apply for museum jobs, anything in heritage or libraries, junior fac jobs, UK postdocs, all are entirely out of the question. And do that math outside academia- no foreign nurses, teachers, and on and on.

Harry seems to put a full-stop before 'Alice'. Every single time. Alice. Was he influenced, in early years, by 'They're changing guards at Buckingham Palace'? Says Alice. Alice. #TheArchers.

#TheArchers JAKOB: "So the Ambridge Christmas Show is *either* a rendition of 'Ynglinga saga' in the original Old Norse, *or* Adam and Pip performing stand-up comedy. I just can't decide which would be the most entertaining!" ALAN: "I know what you mean"

Oh look. That’s me! That’s maybe not the most profound opening gambit, but thank you for the welcome. Sorry if I blunder about for a bit, but I’ll try to play nicely and I mean well. 👍 #TheArchers

Pleased to welcome holmoak45.bsky.social. Another #TheArchers friend over here.

@elizabethbangs.bsky.social Welcome, Liz!

Presumably the Steak and Ale pie wasn’t Usha's meal. Does she eat fish? #TheArchers

@stevekills.bsky.social Where are my manners? Thank you so much for the invitation code, Steve. I've yet to sit down and sort out myself properly, but I am delighted to have escaped, and won't disgrace you, I hope.
