My clothes aren't too tight. It's just that my body is really loose.

Good to be back in Brighton

Brits aren’t anti-renewables. They want clean energy to lower bills, create local jobs and improve nature and green spaces. The opposition is manufactured. Don't believe it. And call it out everywhere, all the time

Note how quickly and seamlessly That Guy gets his name on buildings, and how ineffectual he is at doing anything that does any good for anyone other than billionaires

Working from home with my overseer

Has any other president ever named things after himself during his presidency? Pretty sure that normally only happens afterwards and generally when people actually *want* to name things and places after you.

A very punky Christmas with the Sinictones at the Dublin Castle

Hi, I'm the CEO of Glorbo, the company who enjoys near unprecedented goodwill in our field, I'm here today to talk to you about our pivot to using the Magic 8-Ball powered by children's bones that everybody hates, I've given myself psychosis listening to the 8-ball aaaaeeeeeiiiiooouuuu

Luring unsuspecting passers by to spiky DOOM!

Finding it distasteful, to say the least, that some people are intent on digging up the political stances of some of the people killed at Bondi Beach. The killers did not know or care if their victims were Settler supporters or anti-Zionists, or children who hadn't formed an opinion either way.

Looking forward to the ways the Mail et al will find to frame the UK's re-entry to the Erasmus student exchange scheme as a terrible betrayal of the British people

Tommy Robinson (real name: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) the russian asset since 2018 Tommy? Short 🧵 1/

"The space shuttle blew up and it's a tragedy. But those astronauts believed they were smarter than me. I am the greatest president and have done so many great things. Who is smarter now? I prefer people who haven't been blown up. May they rest in peace, even though they were smartypants losers."

I never understand the narrative that goes 'There has been an antisemitic attack, therefore as Jews we all ought to leave the UK/Australia etc for Israel where we'll be safe'. I'm pretty sure lots more of us are killed by terrorists in Israel than in other countries, even before 7 Oct?

All these people saying that 'all the Muslims' are going to rise up and take over our countries... have they heard of the Sunni and the Shi'ites?

'Danger cuddle' in progress

Oh look, it's London's Extremist Jihadi Muslim mayor (TM: Right wing nutters who have never been to London) speaking at a Carol service at Southwark Cathedral. How come he didn't dissolve into pile of dust?!

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

OK, so our oldest is a trans, Marxist anti-Zionist, but now he's gone too far... he wants to buy an accordion.

Did you in the 90s ever get one of those catalogues delivered at home of handy devices aimed at old people like litter grabbers and jam jar-openers and there was always one photo of a woman massaging her shoulder with a vibrator, sorry, 'personal massager'? I didn't imagine that, right?

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Feverishly working on this

I happen to think that Rob Reiner had a much bigger cultural impact than Charlie Kirk did.

Cthulhu considering whether he'll be able to destroy the light shades one of these days...

YES! Achievement unlocked: we sat down to watch telly and both cats joined us on the sofa. This is what we got two cats for!

Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."

Good, clear-sighted look about the medical research facts we have about the causes of autism youtu.be/E-yaxqDsfgY?...

Please don't say that, BBC 😭

Entertaining moment in synagogue today when they opened the Ark to find they'd forgotten to put the Sefer Torah in this morning. 😶

Have a singing friend or family member in London to buy a present for? Why not buy something a bit different and get them a ticket for this fascinating workshop learning about and singing American musicologist Robert D Levin's alternative completion of Mozart' Requiem next month?

Videos claiming that Sadiq Khan cancelled the King’s ‘garden bridge ceremony’, leading to a political row and protests have been viewed widely on Facebook. But these are completely false. There was no such event, and it was never scrapped.

Have signed this, it's not acceptable for a Jewish organisation to fire someone for supporting a peaceful, respectful group like Standing Together actionnetwork.org/petitions/re...

It's not a massive surprise to see Rod Liddle being a racist liar in the Spectator, but this shit is why we have some people believing any old 'anti woke' nonsense - BLM doesn't have any 'leaders', let alone ones who've been raking in money from it

OK, I've got to give credit to Copilot's reply when it was accidentally activated by one of my cats just now #catgpt

He is pretty baby, and if you don't agree, he'll cut you

ChatGPT sends a Roomba into the past to kill Sarah Conner because her son reminds humans how to make toast

Also we need to resist this because [/tinfoil hat] - how do we know the 'wars' of the future won't include the withdrawal of services we get reliant on by the virtual monopolies that control them on behalf of aggressive govts they're all pally with? [/tinfoil hat]

Yeah, when a guy goes on about how mentally sharp and definitely not slowing down he is and that he just takes lots of mental function tests to show how absolutely fine he is, I of course assume he is totally OK

I'm not quite sure what perversion TERFs imagine an 11-year-old trans girl wanted to get up to at Guide Camp, or what kinky thrill a trans woman would be getting out of attending a WI event?

Yoga is maybe less relaxing, but high on comedy with his little maniac in the room

New cats update

I do wonder what the many men who left transphobic comments on my tiktok criticising last week's climbdown to transphobia by Girl Guides & WI have done to protect women from predators? I wonder if any of them has ever told a mate to back off from a woman they were clearly making uncomfortable?

There’s this idea that I’ve been pondering for a bit that’s probably yet another Everyone Will Yell At Me thing, but… I don’t think that pointing out that AI is full of inaccuracies is an effective tactic at getting people not to use it. It’s based on cultural context that not everyone shares…

Saw a movie post about a film that I am a detractor for. But I did not comment. Rage posting is the tool of the enemy. We do not use it. We do not *need* it.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
