Not to excuse this, & it’s a while since I presented anything on the BBC, but I do recall noting an almost subconscious desire to disprove bogus allegations of bias by being particularly tough on Labour & Lib Dems (Ed Davey once complained!) This is another victory for right wing media gaslighting.

Local newspapers like @liverpoolecho.co.uk doing the work, the national press shy away from. Thank you @liverpoolecho.co.uk. In other news Nigel Farage has been invited to a Downing St rally about combating antisemitism, Zack Polanski has not been invited. Make of that what you will!

“Sociopathic extraction class” is probably the best three word summary you’ll find today…

I shouldn't have to think about the President of the USA this much! Nobody should! Not even Americans!

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

Subway has to be one of the best restaurants for autistic people because you can just choose a sub and then keep getting the same one for 15 years without changes and nobody gives you shit for it

Melania - Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of Robert Mueller & Rob Reiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . . So, Melania, America is asking you to kindly f*ck all the way off.

I feel we’re not talking about crisis actors enough at this time…

Investing heavily in house paint futures for when the bottom inevitably falls out of the “white house with black trim” market.

An excellent badge of honour

I remain, Sir, Ever yours,

You with me

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Grift, grift “Tommy is looking into relocating his family for their safety. Please can you help with this, and any ongoing security costs.” A web address to donate then appears across the bottom of the screen.” Of course it does

Memento mori….

Your daily calm.

So excited to find @grindrod.bsky.social on Audible, reading his own works. For when the existing episode of Monstrosities Mon Amour aren’t enough!

Amazing to think how it must have been at New Year, 2,025 years ago, flipping over all the old calendars to use again, getting used to the number going up instead of down. And poor Mary and Joseph probably didn't even celebrate because they had a week-old baby who hadn't even had any presents yet.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

The old "⚠Invalid Handle" glitch seems to have made a return (seen a few profiles tagged with it today) so bringing this back...

So happy my first dahlia flower opened today here in Seaford Melbourne. I’m love these flowers and they just keep giving. #dahlia #tubers #lovemygardem ##hygge #home

I used to regularly receive e-mails from a private jet company that I'm, like, 95% sure were intended for Tom Hanks.

Can someone let the moaning numpties at the Fail comments section know that “Mavis whose volunteered for 25 years” hasn’t been overlooked in favour of Sir Idris because of wokery but probably because no-one thought to put her forward… Anyone can nominate for an honour chums: www.gov.uk/honours

I'm absolutely fine with these manopshere influencers indulging their fantasies of machismo and being 'alphas' if it leads to them getting in the ring with actual athletes and suffering severe brain damage. Keep it coming, dipshits.

The most quietly savage put-down I’ve come across from Venezuelan Spanish is la inteligencia los persigue, ellos son más rápidoso. It means “intelligence is chasing them, but they are faster.”

Sabrina Carpenter responds to the WH stealing her song to use as background music in a montage of ICE arrests.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the opposite: it was going to be a Christmas movie right up until the first day of shooting, when co-star Mia Sara pointed out that a high school student wouldn't have to play hooky during the holidays.

1778) Whambot. Plays you the video for the 1984 Wham! single "Last Christmas".

Even now, thinking about himself

In the richest city in the richest country on the planet, the thing we can’t afford is to forget those who are left hungry.

He wasn’t sanctioned for what he said - he was sanctioned for what he didn’t do. He left a member of his crew to the mercy of sexist bullies. He got a final written warning for not being a leader. This isnt about his thoughts on the word “fireman” … www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

First (UK) batch has been ordered from the print shop! Thanks to everyone who has bought one so far!

If the Morrisons cafe breakfast experience isn’t the embodiment of the negative experience of living in the UK I don’t know what is. A depressingly confusing self service experience that costs more than it used to & is far less joyful than memory describes. I regret this morning’s decision making.

1429) Vonbot. Mysterious European aristocratbot who's very keen to have you for dinner in its unnecessarily large gothic mansion. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

This strikes me as pretty bad

Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo? I talked to him yesterday. He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...
