No school should be on X or oblige parents to get updates from it. A site that actively promotes porn, bullying, hate and fascism is not an appropriate place to post pictures of sports days.

Here are the top 5 dogs of the week!

Wow who’d have thunk it, vaccines work 🤔 Great news to celebrate.

Don’t forget “run by the mafia” “Russia is a gas station, pretending to be a country run by the mafia” — John McCain

From Moscow to Siberia, the lines in front of gas stations in Russia are growing. The gas station masquerading as a country is increasingly out of gas.

This is remarkable.

Oh do fuck off

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

It's not just illiteracy among readers that's worrying. I've been pretty stunned in the last few years re: illiteracy among publishing professionals, too. Just....incapable of inferring anything other than the literal meanings of words on the page.

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Nobody is making profits. It is going to burst and it is going to take all those data centers with it. Keep your skills. Practice your crafts. Hold on to your books. Stay sharp.

Norman Rockwell's Freedom of Speech depicts a 1942 Arlington town meeting where the lone dissenter to the town's announced plans to build a new school is given a chance to speak Jim Edgerton agreed but was concerned about the tax burden of the proposal as his family farm had been ravaged by disease

As a reminder, we may not open until 1:15pm tomorrow. We plan to attend the funeral of Leslie Philip Ray, a regular at *all* the bookshops in Iowa City these last 40 years. Iowa City, you are very welcome to join us at the Newman Center at 11am, June 16th, for Mass. A reception will follow.

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

I hope we're going to see many charges for incitement to racial hatred, incitement to violence and incitement to riot, all of which have been happening blatantly and prolifically on social media. Or will two-tier policing in the UK, favouring the right and the far right, prevail yet again?

Somehow I missed this, but a worker *died* at the spacex facility in Texas. It's classified as an "accident" but there's no coincidence- spacex has 6x the worker injury rate compared to other aerospace companies. Until we regulate them, oligarchs will always prioritize power and profit over people.

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

I live in the greatest country in the world. I pay $450 a month for health insurance so I can pay $250 to go to a doctor who prescribes me a medication that I can't afford because it isn't covered by insurance.

Here’s your breakfast.. @clubbing-guy.bsky.social

So keep posting this: news.sky.com/story/nigel-...

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

It's already outrageous and offensive that people with unimaginable wealth view themselves as the victims, but the fact they feel comfortable saying it in public takes it to another level. Their brains are broken, simultaneous delusions of grandeur and victimhood wrapped in malice and shamelessness.

Say what you like about the British press, but I find it reassuring that they spend months ripping apart a Labour PM for properly declaring some glasses and football tickets, then all but ignore someone who wants to be PM when he tries to cover up a £5 million gift.

Not content with being conned once by Farage, over Brexit, swathes of Britain are going back to get conned again.

Sometimes you might have no choice other than to rely on a non-pilot to get the job done... www.aerotime.aero/articles/pas...

Doing what I do best - shutting down a question about the £5 million gift I received, because I can't stand scrutiny and don't think the rules apply to me.

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough Thank you for being a friend to all animals and for helping the world to cherish us x

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ

Just as there were people who resisted the introduction of inside toilets, seatbelts, women’s votes, lead free toys etc Tice & his party are similarly reluctant to embrace what most people can clearly see is needed. Unimaginative, regressive, fact averse idiots. Let’s never let them run our country.

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”. I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

5 April 1974, Stephen King's 1st novel 'Carrie' was published. It demonstrated the devastating psychological effects of peer cruelty & at 200 pages, it was 1 of his shortest books. King famously threw the 1st few pages in the trash; his wife, Tabitha, rescued them & urged him to finish. #StephenKing

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

The curtain is rising and the show is starting. 🍿 Amazing conditions finally after weeks of snow. Keep your eyes peeled this evening, everyone. The show should be good for a few more hours. #aurora #northernlights #iceland

A man I worked with years ago tried to overtake on a two lane A road. Hit another car. Killed one person, lifelong disability for her husband. Driver got a year or so in prison, PTSD, lost his job & his wife left him. I think about that every time I'm tempted. Better than any speed awareness course.

More than two-thirds of New Yorkers support efforts to make Big Oil pay for home insurance costs that are rising as a result of climate disasters, according to a new poll from @dataforprogress.org. New York lawmakers are currently considering legislation that would do exactly that. 👇
