Two days ago, a man in Hull was sentenced to 26 months in jail (suspended for 18 months) and 250 hours of unpaid work for selling CDs containing "unauthorised remixes of well-known tracks"

"we've just gone through the worst heat wave Britain has ever seen, hundreds dead because of it, terrible terrible. Anyway so we're scrapping projects that will help prevent it in future in favour of guns"

What would you do if you encountered one, @deathofbuckley.bsky.social ?

My new car has lots of fancy technology in it. Just now I put it in reverse and it showed a video of some lady getting run over by a car.

I mean, the main problem with the fyre festival was that hundreds of people attended, which the organisers of this shit show have successfully avoided

"I'm sorry, Jerry, I don't care if he has somehow become associated with leading people to the afterlife. I am absolutely not going to hold the paw of a grubby little bear. Tell them if they can't send a proper angel I'm simply not passing over."

This question is more or less "what was the first gig you went to" for a certain cohort of people

Don't think I've ever seen this many empty seats at a knockout game in the world cup #RsaCan

I’m with Kemi on this. Whichever political party introduced right to buy, mismanaged its implementation, failed to build replacement social housing stock, and then framed endless house-price inflation as a “good thing actually, probably the best thing to ground the economy in” should be ashamed.

Didn’t know that Fab ice lollies were in a tie-in with FAB-1 from Thunderbirds! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_(br...

It is important in terms of highlighting DUP hypocrisy that people know about Donaldson but it's very likely that the only reason you are hearing about it now is because they want to blame gay people for child abuse.

We’ve had a hydration break by mistake…

England playing in red; Panama playing in white Stadium scoreboard : Panama on a red background, England on a white background. Make it make sense #paneng

The way I've gotten this across in talks to US audiences is to explain that by the time the Battle of Gettysburg was fought... ...the London Underground had already been open for six months.

This 48 team world cup is a load of wank

Can't wait to see the tabloids frothing about this brazen attack on the atheist Winston Churchill

“I am currently not out of the office, but will only be replying to messages by African swallow. Yours etc.”

Maybe this would have been better if they'd run this a decade ago? 🤷

I think she's called the forsætisráðherra, actually

We now move to the "Find Out" stage of the process for Lincolnshire's Nazis

So not only can we not fedpost but apparently we can no longer algae post

I wonder if Scotland will still be in the world cup when #then0ughtie5 resumes next month This is the life - Amy Macdonald (2007) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏾✅ 👶✅ youtu.be/iRYvuS9OxdA?...

A short story

“There’s more to this,” he said. “Morrisons have got their own agenda." A meat pie conspiracy theory. Been a while since we've seen one of them.

good morning

Oh no. The Lincolnshire Nazi house is in the national press. What will the neighbours say? Disappointing lack of interview with the owners though ( Fao @oldenoughtosay.com ) www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

US-ians whenever basic infrastructure in the US is discussed, like railways: 'oh no could never work here, US is so different, so unique, so special'. Anytime it is hot in Europe 'lol, just do what we do, it's so simple, what do you mean your houses are built completely differently'.

Yougov have released their last of most popular politicians. Two of the top five are there because of being confused with other people.
