This time last week Rosie wasn't eating, not walking, and shaking. Now she is on top of the world (well, top of Europe) after taking a cable car up a mountain.

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

helen lewis has an article in the atlantic today begging everyone to read discworld and I am going to suggest she start by rereading monstrous regiment and think about how that might apply to trans issues

also, don't say anything about Sgt. Littlebottom that would cause Sgt. Detritus to unload a siege crossbow at you.

Guess what country the girls are in now.

If you're a white dude, born after the second world war, and living in South Yorkshire, then that swastika tattooed on your arm may not actually be a Buddhist peace symbol

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

For the fourth year in a row, the girls are loose on the mainland.

The reality of Southern Lebanon is horrific, there is a perpetual effort by Netenyahu and his allies to keep expanding the conflict and insulate themselves from their utter failure, and the cost is 1000s of Lebanese lives. A sixth of the country has been forced to flee.

Stewart Lee has a routine about a gig going horribly on 6/7 2005 and getting obliterated, waking up the next day to loads of texts asking if he was alright and wondering how word had spread ao quickly.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Saw someone call GLP-1's "snake oil" and 1) their evidence is overwhelming, this would require a conspiracy orders of magnitude larger than even faking the moon landing 2) at least have a sense of humor and call it "lizard oil" since we discovered GLP-1s in Gila monster venom

Right, like I can’t understand why people can’t hold two ideas simultaneously. (1) Climate change is really bad and will cause suffering for enormous numbers of people. (2) It’s not going to end life on earth, or most life, or even just human life. Come on.

Lucy White, Restore Britain member & vocal racist, objects to Marc Guehi playing for England - ostensibly because he was born in the Ivory Coast (coming to England aged one) but in fact because he is black. She agrees with another user - a Restore branch organiser - about the other black players

Bad news. Rosie needs to walk less to reduce the chance of the mystery pain returning. Worse news. She is still mobile...

Someone sent me this image yesterday and I think it's the rosetta stone of online discourse. 1. A pret sandwich being *$16 PLUS TAX* should definitively end any US vs UK food discourse. Good GOD, guys. Good God. 2. I now finally understand the US vibecession, too. 3. And why you're all so angry.

Nodding along and then I peep the date.

It seems to me the next point of Iran-US conflict would be in the Straits of Hormuz. Good thing we have excellent mine countermeasures ships as well as excellent offshore patrol vessels that are definitely not the same hulls with ongoing corrosion & propulsion issues & ad hoc armament.

You must understand: Lily, who works doing data analysis for the University of Bristol and lives in a house share is middle class. Brian, her landlord, who is a self employed plumber declaring around a third of his income is working class.

No idea why Tuchel is getting all the hate over his squad selection. Toney's experience playing in half-empty stadiums under an authoritarian regime could prove invaluable.

Amazing how much credibility Andy Burnham has restored to the UK fiscal situation by standing in the Makerfield byelection.

This is how a three legged rabbit climbs up stairs (part 2)

a very hot trend right now is every politician/party/faction about whom you for a single millisecond entertain the thought "perhaps they might be alright" doing something completely fucking disgusting before you have time to blink

AOC’s Chaotic Iran Withdrawal

🇬🇧🇫🇷🇧🇪🇱🇺🇩🇪🇨🇭 This was meant to be with an electric car, but BYD were slow, so instead of first all electric road trip this is last self charging hybrid road trip.

While Labour are bickering about all the exits from the burning building being risky, the single most unfathomable thing in UK politics right now is that the Conservatives responding to the flames by slapping on the sun cream and saying all the heat is brilliant.

more than a year later and the final guidance is just as much a mess as the interim. continue to think the GC movement is the dog that caught the car and simply can’t find a coherent structure that doesn’t involve backing down. bad for them in the long term, very bad for trans people here and now

Because I think a lot of people still really haven’t absorbed how bad this month’s elections were for Labour and the Conservatives, resharing this terrific piece by @dylandifford.bsky.social:

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

Keir Starmer is the modern equivalent of rationing continuing until 1954.

Another way we know that nobody uses Grok (supposedly where 80% of SpaceX's market is!) is that they have excess compute to sell to Anthropic... a deal Anthropic can cancel with 90 days notice. For all the Mars hoopla, SpaceX's primary business model now is just renting out xAI's GPUs. /17

Yes, the creation of swathes of second class citizens was an unfortunate drawback but Sajid Javid got to posture as a hardman for a few days so who’s to say if it was good or bad?

Wasting a period of shockingly low interest rates on a programme of pointless fiscal retrenchment is the original sin of all of this. And has strong rhyming with Starmer getting a massive majority and then acting like he's in coalition.

benefits claimants do not complain they don't have access to cheap deliveroo. they complain that the DWP's caseworkers want to kill them

you should feel HORRIBLE if you use doordash or ubereats. if you use these meal delivery services you are a MONSTER who should be in a CAGE. instead of WASTING ALL THAT MONEY ON DELIVERY you should use my factor75 CODE at CHECKOUT for up to $150 off and free breakfast for a year

Now THIS is exciting use of artificial intelligence

This is so right. People don’t like Starmer because of his hair colour www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Once again my "no cave diving, ever" stance is confirmed correct. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/w...

Yes, this is just trying to launder existing grievances because you don't want to admit that your boss made a decision he can't defend.

I don’t know what to tell you, man. I’m a medieval historian, and, in my field, if you don’t check your sources (and your sources’ sources) you are just asking to be taken for a ride by some bored 19th C. aristocratic English antiquarian with a penchant for inventing history.

Badenoch asks Starmer why oil from Russia is acceptable while oil from Aberdeen is not? It is a *very* good question and a sign of just how stupid and venal the government's relaxation of sanctions was in this instance.

Yeah, Makersfield is 95% white, so he doesn't have his strongest constituency, married Muslim women

Great example of how you can't win with them, they objected to trans people being listed under what they see at the "wrong" gender so the ability to filter by gender was removed But they are still whining because they really want the trans MSPs humiliated and this change doesn't do that

No-one is admitting to who took the decision to ease sanctions- whether it was FO, DESNZ, HMT, No10 - but the line that somehow if Miliband had eased North Sea oil and gas restrictions in 2024 would have made any difference whatsoever to the current predicament is stupid beyond belief.

Genuine question: what exactly are we all doing.

"This guy we blew up isn't so jazzed about working for us anymore" REVELATION OF THE CENTURY

Is it morally defensible? No. But is it a coherent response to a difficult situation? No. Ah, but is it effective in bringing down fuel prices? Ha, you're not going to believe this...

Oh my GOD 💪🏼🔴⚪️ ❤️🤍
