"You're overusing the word fascism" they say, as he goes after trans people and autistic people, and some people need to do some reading on 1930s Germany, because I don't think enough people understand how fascism embeds.

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

It is over for the genocide deniers. Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide. Those who supported Israel's onslaught: You backed a genocide. You will never scrub the shame away.

A run of two halves, two robins, and a crescent moon. Today’s effort was a short recovery run to warm up, and a progressive tempo run to proper get the cobwebs out. Lovely stuff. #RunningPunks

Has he been watching a version of Eurovision that we’ve all somehow completely missed? Because, my dude, it is ENTIRELY about politics… Eurovision has never been about politics, says BBC boss Tim Davie www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Not posting screenshots of bad takes from evil people and giving them a platform”-challenge 2025

Two gigs? In one week?! Who do I think I am? Saw the brilliant Daði Freyr (again) and Montaigne on Wednesday, and the perfect pop stylings of Blusher last night. If there’s any justice, Blusher will be playing much bigger venues than the dinky Poetry Club at SWG3 next time they’re here…

I’m re-listening to the brilliant #13MinutesToTheMoon, and I’m completely struck by Michael Collins’ comments about Apollo 11’s achievements and nationalism. He says the reception the crew had on their tour was that if felt like “we humanity, we human beings, did this wonderful thing”.

I understand why the journos are asking about the budgets, because they’re important questions to ask, but man, I was hoping for more chat about the science and less from Duffy and his waffling about Trump.

There's a NASA presser happening now in which acting admin Duffy said "This very well could be the clearest sign of life that we’ve ever found on Mars." That doesn't mean it is a sign of life. We covered this cool rock in 2024, paper in Nature is out today: 🧪🔭 www.sciencenews.org/article/nasa...

So I found a neat rock

An important part of this story (which I am not expecting the NASA live stream to mention) is that the sample return mission that could potentially answer the question of life on Mars is being threatened by budget cuts from the Trump administration www.newscientist.com/article/2495...

👀 I’m tuned in!

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

I got interviewed, and I am very aware of how famous and important everyone else interviewed in this piece is compared to me... #GravitationalWaves 🔭 www.iflscience.com/the-unfoldin...

everything i read about Your Party in Scotland is just ‘we need a party exactly like the Scottish Greens but without the track record of sustained electoral success’

All 890 have heard it. Every single one 🙏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

what the hell is going on

I’m going to give it a wild guess and say that even once the Moon actually deigns to pop up above the horizon, folk in Glasgow aren’t likely to see much of this evening’s eclipse… 🌧️

I'm genuinely disturbed. I'm living in a country that is passionate about defending the 'free speech' of those who would incite violence against minorities, but equally passionate about arresting people for calling a genocide a genocide.

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

The number of drivers I see on their phones while ostensibly responsible for a 2-ton vehicle as I walk to work is horrifying. This version of the video is absolutely terrifying.

I finally did it lads, I did it! I got them in a row! 🦆 10 miles after 3 days of socialising was never going to be a party, but actually it was only during the last 3km that I had to make a proper mental effort not to ditch it. Which is good because it’s 5 weeks to Cardiff… #RunningPunks

ABSOLUTELY NOT

Thanks to lovely folks on socials, I’ve gone from being a total arachnophobe, to being able to deal with spiders calmly and gently. However, in saying that, I reserve the right to scream the fucking place down when a GIANT one appears under the bathroom door and runs directly at me WHILE I’M PEEING.

I don’t think I have the words to talk you through the rollercoaster of emotions I just went on in talking myself into going for a run, then being able to use the sudden, absolute torrential rain as an excuse to not to go for a run, only to remember I own a treadmill. #RunningPunks

remember when it was outrageous to suggest that Israel had deliberately bombed a hospital

Is 3I/ATLAS made of cheese? Is cheese made of 3I/ATLAS? Is Avi made of cheese? Who can say?

I actually didn’t know this, that’s another good tool. Realistically, there’s no reason not to use alt text, and Bluesky can make sure you don’t forget.

🎵everybody was honk shoo fighting

Thwarted by the PS Waverley again, doing a rogue earlier sailing than normal for a Sunday. Still, with the Cardiff Half creeping ever-closer, that’s 10 surprisingly enjoyable miles done before it got too hot. #RunningPunks

Oh what?! It’s ✨perfect✨

What's y'all's favorite episodes of Star Trek from before it became woke and political? Mine is the episode of DS9 where Rom and the other workers at Quark's form a union and go on strike and Rom says 'Workers of the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains.' So non-political.

People who are against universal basic income just want to make sure someone always has less than them, is 'beneath' them. It's the same mentality as those boomer FB replies of 'I had it hard, why shouldn't you'. When we alleviate poverty and struggle, everyone is better for it. It lifts us all.

We are on a text-based app; there is virtually no excuse for not adding additional text for accessibility

they should expand the LEZ by an additional street every time someone complains about the LEZ

I somehow managed to do the same number of steps in that 14km run as I did yesterday on day six of six at work. Which explains why that 14km run was rough on the old legs. Got round it, and don’t need to do that again today. #RunningPunks

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Let us again remember that Trident is in Scotland because it would be too dangerous to have such a thing near major population centres in England.

This is such terribly sad news. Ad Astra.

Double the cats, double the nonsense.

I work in a visitor attraction, and under no fucking circumstances will I be asking people for a birth certificate before they can use the toilet appropriate for their gender. Labour really are fucking speedrunning their efforts to be worse than Thatcher ever aspired to be. Cunts, the lot of them.

hello i am the government. we have given predatory international capital everything they ever asked for but for some reason they want more things. we've already taken your entire salary so now we'd like your allotment, bin collection, community centre and lollypop lady.

What an end to the Tour(s) de France! This Visma Lease-A-Bike household has seen a lot of yelling at the TV over the last few weeks, and watching today’s stage was the cherry on top of the icing on the cake. PAULINE PREVAILS! Absolute icon! 💛🖤 #TourDeFranceFemmes #WatchTheFemmes

Took a detour to a galaxy far, far away on today’s lush 12km in the sun along the Clyde and Kelvin rivers. That was my longest run for a while, actually, I’m glad my legs still know what to do! #RunningPunks
