Watching a bbc documentary about British people retiring to Spain and Portugal in the 1960s, and remembering both those countries were fascist dictatorships at the time. Honestly not sure what to think.

Just a thought, but has anyone suggested putting @bryan-talbot.bsky.social 's inspector lebrock as the badger on the new banknotes?

Omg! Harry styles has never looked handsome before, this is NEWS

Why does this article about inter island ferries between Jersey and Guernsey focus entirely on people going to dog shows? BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is proper classy. Might see if you can get one for your viennetta too.

"The main problem is that there don’t seem to be many postgraduate level educated individuals who read the news, are interested in current affairs and are at least minimally aware of culture, who are also the specific level of attractiveness that I’d usually be drawn to."

OK, starting heated rivalry now. My partner is quite excited about it.

There's a bbc archive film about importing candles from France to the UK in the 1970s, to take advantage of power outages. What the heck was the past doing??

Don't cut off the page there - I need to know how to dock at space stations!

I fear I am too online since I understand this

Can't join in this year, thanks to being away from supplies, but #happynewyear and thanks to all the #lemonpig pics who are supporting us into 2026

Massively overestimated the time it would take to get to LHR. Turns out everyone is still off work, so almost no traffic.

Had to go to the shop today for food, because apparently writing "boxing day leftovers" on the meal planner doesn't work if you're not hosting xmas dinner

This title is pretty excellent. Although I do not want to read the forbidden book.

@2000ad.bsky.social @scarredforlife.bsky.social today's podcast was perfect, thank you so much for the ultimate crossover episode!

The UK is in a dark place right now, where anti-asylum attitudes have spilled over into racism from the 1970s or earlier. These types of comments are not 'the result of' higher migration. They are the personal responsibility of the person who wrote them.

Xerxes, as shown in the relatively early days of channel 4. The summary makes it sound pretty dodgy come to think of it. web.archive.org/web/20050312...

Perfect juxtaposition @2000ad.bsky.social @molcher.bsky.social @cuntersthompson.bsky.social

Oh my god we are screaming at this week's podcast!

Excited to see there's a new animal crossing update coming, but slightly apprehensive if that means we also get another pandemic so everyone has time to play it

*this* is why I stay on bluesky. Also, eww

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day. As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time. At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Well this is awkward for the racists. I guess they'll just decide it's proof of "two tier" nonsense. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"advance uncorrected proof" is an excellent title. (I'm sure I'm not the first to say that)

Finally, my starting strategy for metazoa paid off!

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

Wait, he is a fucking idiot. Who knew?

Again with this nonsense. At least the headline does clarify the work is in pigeons, but the rest is just hype

I didn’t know they sold Buckfast at Costco

How many places named in "Hit me with your rhythm stick" have I been to? A measly 3 so far. Milan the wilds of Borneo the vineyards of Bordeaux

Paging @aptshadow.bsky.social - ants doing unexpected ant thing!

On the night of May 31 1944, less than 4 years since Mussolini entered WWII in support of Hitler, Italy was on the brink of defeat, propped up by the Nazis. It's not known whether the fires started as a result of US artillery or German arson. Either way, the Nemi ships burned.

Why on earth would you have a flag lying around the flat? I guess his is downing street, so it might be on the inventory and he can't just get rid of it without losing the deposit.

"fawaffle" looks amazing, seriously

Wow!

Fucking awesome. With a few blasts of red spray paint you can turn the English flag into the Dead Kennedys logo As the band said: Nazi punks, fuck off!

For people who don't fit into traditional gender norms, right-wingers like Candace Owens launch 'transvestigations' to convince others that a person must be trans. This creates a culture of policing gender, which hurts all people, not just trans folks. Read more: www.salon.com/2025/08/15/w...
