Saruman Refuses to Take Sides in Middle-Earth Fight Over Ring

Shocking oversight that there isn't a Christmas Columbo episode

@fhvjhvgvb.bsky.social This was Macc station 8.40am today. All 8 bike racks occupied. No space. Such a retrograde step from the old space which had at least twice that capacity (more I think). I will be contacting Aviva and anyone else who will listen. Any advice or support would be welcome.

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

@greenamanda.bsky.social If you can me have an email address I will forward on my email to them and any response to you

@greenamanda.bsky.social Hi there I have sent an email to Aviva today regarding the reduced bike parking facility at Macc station

Oh, how the small and decrepit (well, it was an extremely low bar) have fallen.. 😒

This country knowingly put evil in the White House. This great, good, decent country knowingly put someone who is evil in power. Americans knowingly voted for an evil monster. And so to remind you once more - this Trump era has never been about Trump. It’s always been about us, about us as a people.

This is both disgusting and expected. The Scumbag-in-Chief

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

America values guns very much. That’s not even up for debate

WATCH: Bystander disarms active shooter at Bondi Beach in Sydney

Murphy: "This isn't shocking, bc over last year, Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons, eliminated the WH office of gun violence prevention & stopped funding mental health grants & community anti-gun violence grants"

I just got a taxi from the train station to home. The muslim taxi driver told me to have a Happy Christmas. The same way that when it’s Eid, I would say Eid Mubarak. That’s Luton. That’s the real world. Some folk would do well to get off X and visit it sometimes.

Nothing says "smash the political establishment" quite like begging the Prime Minister to put your mates in the unelected House of Lords.

Trumplethinskin creates his own version of reality & then expects us to believe it as if we don't have eyes, ears or functioning brains. #SAD 🤣

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

If I step into a doctor's waiting room and see this, I am immediately going to look for a more sensible doctor.

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

There's something extra tragic about him putting it on himself

Trump has removed National Parks free entry days for two national holidays - MLK and Juneteenth. He’s replaced them with his birthday.

SCOTUS is nothing more than an arm of the GOP. Expand the Court. Impose term limits.

Your four year reminder that this could have been an email.

Americans will no longer get free entry to federal parks on Martin Luther King Day. They will, however, on Trump’s June 14 birthday. Literally the sort of thing dictators do. www.sfgate.com/national-par...

If only there was something a government could do to stop such donations from dodgy business men based abroad (not paying UK tax) using dodgy currencies to fund corrupt populist leaders. But it seems not. Oh well.

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

I wonder what it is about Rachel Reeves that they hate: a woman who went to a comprehensive school, who rose from relatively humble origins to the top and who still speaks with a South London accent. I wonder why they hate her so much. It's a mystery.

in my judgement, Chris Mason misled the country

Brexit was exactly that. A petulant door-slamming. A rejection of cooperation, protection and opportunity for all of us because the wealthy rightwing elites didn’t want to play by shared rules. And knew they could exploit ignorance/prejudice to achieve that.

I predict this will cause problems come Spring and Summer #aviva #macclesfield

Our economic woes are caused by Brexit, (Ukraine), Covid, Brexit’s ugly baby - our dismal immigration policy, Truss budget, 14yrs of austerity… All rightwing policies. Quite mad that our media acts as if Labour’s budget is the end of days, when they failed to adequately scrutinise any of that👆shit.

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

📌"I have typed before, and will until my last breath, that Black voters are America’s TRUE patriots, and the only voting bloc that overwhelmingly and consistently gets it right. How incredibly sad it must be to see white people elect bile who see white supremacy as a virtue, instead of a plague."
