This Waitrose ad is better than the majority of movies I've seen this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sOy...

I can think of at least seven ways fossil fuel producers could wiggle out of this, but still: holy shit this is huge.

If it’s New York, Staten Island!

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

Let’s see how the military branches are doing on war crimes? US Army? Tortured people at Abu Ghraib and shot innocent people for fun in Iraq. US Air Force? Slaughtered wedding parties and others via indiscriminate drone attacks. US Navy? Now murdering people in the Caribbean. Fucking hell.

Here’s what Disney should have done: Told its affiliates to hold off on the merger during this period of political chaos. There is no urgency and it opens them up for manipulation. Everyone should business plans on pause until this chaos ends.

I really don’t think anyone outside of the USA understands how absolutely sick of gun violence so many of us are. And how absolutely exhausted we are knowing that *nothing* will be done to curtail it. All this lamentation over a monster and nothing will change for the innocents killed today and on

My take-home message is that mainstream white America doesn’t think white supremacy makes him an awful person

Twat who played with fire by dry humping the 2nd Amendment, and stirring up a race war, was shot and killed today. Americas politicians feigned outrage but will do nothing meaningful to reign in the insane gun culture that is literally killing citizens every, single, day.

It’s a bit much to feel degraded by the actions of at least one branch of the US Government every day. Are there really no Republicans left that have any loyalty to their flag and the ideals for which it stands? A couple of defections to independence in the Senate could change everything.

“conservative southern wing” has to be the understatement of the fucking year!

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Lol

Just had what I hope is an insane thought… 1/ So we’ve been wondering what happens to harvests when the undocumented workers now providing a large share of that workforce have gone?

My pet theory: it comes from Don Quixote. It features a donkey.

Talk about a parasite killing off its host!

Today (much too late!) I realized that our democracies are really thought experiments. In that, we actually have to believe in them for them to be real. As soon as we stop standing up for their rules and principles, we lose them. They are not a given fact.

This tracks

Some clear headed analysis of the potential of the new left party in the UK: youtu.be/vcTnoGpALKU?...

Makes one wonder who the intelligencia *do* have acres of time for if not someone genuine and popular with her constituents like Zarah f’ing Sultana?! She’s one of the few people willing to actually speak truth to power.

You know Tillis could actually do something important to make a real difference and that would be to leave the Republicans declare himself independent and caucus with the Democrats. But that would require honor. #tillis

Movie you've watched more than 6x using a gif (no Disney, Star Wars, LOTR, or Star Trek).

Me, flirting

When did this change happen?! #gulfofmexico

This article caused me to have some thoughts… www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/m...

We’re going to see the Stand Your Ground laws get a lot more use when people start protecting themselves from these vigilante masked gangs running around abducting people from their homes and workplaces…

This is absolutely brilliant. Paging @bencollins.bsky.social as The Onion gets a mention. youtube.com/shorts/YAeki...

I dunno, one of the great joys of west coast living is not having a front row seat to the day’s news.

1/ Love Ash Sarkar, but today's Cortado has a bit of fiction that keeps making the rounds: "But the simple truth is that if you’re losing or retaining seats by tight margins less than a year after winning a landslide parliamentary majority, it’s not looking good for 2029. "

This guy should watch this, these AIs are not reliable friends. youtu.be/JZg1FHT9gA0?...

America built itself out into suburban isolation and then wonders why everyone is lonely!

Left two absolutely outraged messages for my feckless senators, Scott & Graham. You really get to know how angry you are when you try to find words to express it! Fucking disgrace!

Forget House of Cards… What have now is House of Cucks!

Finishing up the rest of the delicious Broccoli Miloni from @sanjanafeasts.bsky.social cookbook. My attempt at her Peshwari naan is sadly best left unmentioned… absolute user error from start to finish!

The silence from the living ex-Presidents in this pivotal moment in American history is quite deafening. The Constitution they swore to uphold is being loudly bulldozed in plain sight.

Remember when we were worried about losing all the coral reefs to bleaching? Those were the better times…

Would the last country with a functional government please turn out the lights?

Interesting read - 'Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality' www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...

Turns out the human traffickers were actually us all along… Can’t believe flight crews are complying with these crimes against humanity.

Who else feels like we should engage in a renaming campaign for Apple & Google’s HQs Capitulation Central and Clown Town?

America’s seeming new motto… Forget “In God we trust” (and rightly so, because WTF?) But “L’état c’est moi” is definitely not an upgrade…

Seriously, how does America just move on from horror? What is wrong with us? Slavery Indian Genocide. Tulsa massacre. Sandy Hook. NFL concussions. Nazi salutes. Plane crash where everyone died. I’m just scratching the surface… Just move on, nothing to see here.

Anyone else thinking the next Olympics will feature just the USA, Russia (if they’re allowed) and China. The rest of the world deciding to boycott it? Or, crazy thought, Paris hosts an alternate event…

@sanjanafeasts.bsky.social Just made the aubergine spinach curry… Absolutely sublime! Yes, chef!

Anyone else notice that @bsky.app makes doom scrolling quite tricky? Like randomly selecting posts when I was just trying to swipe… I appreciate their efforts to snap me out of it!

@tkiramadden.bsky.social Hello from a new BlueSky recruit (Myra got here first…) Just wanted to show off my latest recipe book. The introduction is lovely (I know you like to read them :) ). Anyway, hope you’re doing well?
