Having failed to interest any papers in this story, I resorted to writing a letter to The Times, like in olden times. So when all that's left to watch is NASCAR racing sponsored by Cheetos, I can at least say I tried. #ITV #Sky #Comcast

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

Handing out contracts to Big Tech platforms is a rip off. If we don't like the over-charging, tax-dodging and exporting profits overseas, we face the nightmare of vendor lock-in. They own the software, so love it or lose it. We call for Digital Sovereignty to turn the tide. Sign and share ⬇️

I gotta tell you, I love anime, but I seriously cannot handle when the bugs have tits.

Is an antenna like a hub? Thanks. I hate it.

“Yeah Ma, I’m not loving the carpentry thing but I’m kinda killing it as an influencer…. A shirt? Yeah of course I’m wearing a shirt.”

My 'godmother' had an older son. As a teenager, he used to put me on his shoulders and then rollerblade down the stairs. My role was to catch the lintel - slowing us a bit, so we ran out of momentum before the original Victorian glass door at the end of the Milton tiled hall. I was like 9 years old.

ahh here.

Don’t be put off by the crackle and old timey vibe - these 1940s training videos are still great for learning basic radio concepts if you’re just getting into #HamRadio. youtu.be/6scwkpXZWEA?...

Hello, 911? I fell asleep on the sofa and I'm too tired to go up to bed.

A bit more of Mahmood’s performative cruel stupidity here Most asylum seekers have no control over where they are housed or for how long or how long it will take the H.O. to make a decision and for appeals to be heard AND, meanwhile, THEY‘RE NOT ALLOWED TO WORK www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

God no. Don’t ask the public, they’re a bunch of fucking morons. See Brexit for details. We hire professionals to do the policy work. It’s called representative democracy.

This is very untrue of our local SuperValu where I’d not be surprised to hear Killing Joke. It’s weird. And brilliant.

And the very last words of BBC 4 Long Wave are in Irish, "Oíche mhaith".

Tell me again how we need to regulate children's use of social media -- most of these comments would be counted as illegal today without any law change but commenters on Facebook pages like this one get away with it all the time.

My opinion coincides with the rules of government. You don't elect a PM you elect a party. There is no need to call an election. If you see me saying anything else in the future (or past) then haul me over the fucking coals.

Whatever you think about whether you need to have a fresh general election with a new PM, you have to be consistent. Write it down now in a notebook so you can remember next time what it is you think. Whatever you believe, only consistency will make your opinion of any value.

Hey Ireland, look at this.
