Right. I'm going to stir the beans (nudge, nudge, wink wink) and then go to sleep.

Excellent effort by Scotland Vs the Kiwis making 7/131 and taking 4 White Caps wickets in 18.2 overs. Aotearoa wāhine win by 6 wickets. 🏏 #ScotsWhaHae #WT20WC

Johnny Marr is auctioning off a bunch of his guitars and a portion of the money is going to the National Autistic Society and Guide Dogs for the Blind. Such a good dude. Via manic_pixels on Insta.

School uniform, school exams and private schools all abolished.

This is probably aimed at the Americas; North, Central, and South, but it also applies to us here in Australia and many other places in Africa as well.

Alan Turing, one of Britain’s most renowned humanists, was a visionary whose genius helped the Allies win WWII. Yet despite his extraordinary contributions, he was subjected to chemical castration by the British state in 1952. This #PrideMonth, we remember him. He was born #OnThisDay 1912.

“Israel violated the ceasefire agreement at least 3,201 times from October 10, 2025 to June 9, 2026, through the continuation of attacks by air, artillery and direct shootings, the Government Media Office in Gaza reports.” Over 3,000 times.

I love these memes , always pointing out the stupidity of religion. Religion poisons everything.

Excellent comeback, sadly Shiv misspelled the name, but that's fine we all know who he's referring to.

Hard to follow, but amusing and informative thread… well, I say 'thread'… xox

"Bang, there went sixpence!"

Almost forgot to put the beans on to soak* for tmrw. Can't remember if they're supposed to get baking powder or soda or salt, but they're going to get at least 14 hours in water so that's fine. *was it yesterday that @rincewind.run's daily quote was wondering what the 5th horseman's surname was?

I'm sorry. So very sorry. I just couldn't help myself.

I wish I could retrain my mind to stop reading "Senator Barb Pocock" as "Senator Ralph Babet", because that cunt has traumatised me. How is he still a Senator?

Senator Barb Pocock has been formidable in holding KPMG to account over its recent scandals (not to mention PWC earlier). I spoke to her on @3rrrfm.bsky.social about recent revelations:

the write ups of the pm's fall never mention his biggest reforms—those that made the uk far, far worse for minorities my latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/starmer-out/

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Montage of Andy in pubs going "How much??"

They really are a different mob in the Territory, aren't they?

After a brief discussion on here about such things with a couple of mutuals, this morning when I was transferring my load-out to a clean pair of pants, I decided to set it all up and take photos. I don't call this EDC, and there's nothing 'tactical' about any of it Deets in alt-txt.

Why in the holy name of Hestia is a nice meaty, ready to carve, picnic ham $3/Kg cheaper than a tough, sinew ridden, heavily skinned, ham hock. There has been some celebrity chef on the telly making pea and ham soup or smokey baked beans, hasn't there? Bastards ruined lamb shanks the same way.

I had to deal with people today. I don't like that. A little restorative nap, I think.

This is an interesting warning release, not so much for what they're warning about, but for who is releasing the warning. I was a very small cog in the Great Game and held a TS SCI D/E clearance for years and didn't even know there was a 5-eyes joint spokesperson!

Home from the shops. Got a small serving of drugs because of stupid packaging amounts, and a couple of ingredients I didn't have to make a big pot of baked beans tomorrow.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Wait, what?!? You fucking met Ray Bradbury? Can't chat now. I'm in town where there are people and I had to interact with them just as you dropped that bombshell!

Some players take it hard when they're dropped from the 1st to the 2nd XI. 🏏

🚨On Monday July 27 at 2pm AEST, every phone in Australia will get very loud. 🚨 If you are vulnerable, with a phone as part of your escape plan, please make sure that you take steps to protect yourself. If you aren't vulnerable, please help get the word out to protect those who are.

Oh my very word! @damonyoung.com.au get your skates on!

A quick glance at the scorecard for England's final innings in the 2nd ENGvNZ test at The Oval overnight. Four ducks, one of them golden, and a 0*. Kiwis win by 253 runs. Is Bazball dead yet?

Here are a platoon of Scots Guards (note tunic buttons in threes) marching down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh while escorting the Crown of Scotland. And passing what I really, truly hope is a Melbourne-style café serving flat whites called, and I shit you not, "Och Aye the Moo".

If this doesn't show that the Government of the USA actively works against the People of the USA, then I don't know what will. #Solidarity ✊✊✊✊✊

Nepo wealth and abuse, just like Trump

There's a hell of a story behind this one!

Some of the Deck.Blue columns are really playing up recently. The 'You' column munges 'Posts' and 'Replies' kind of randomly. Filter columns(?) like #SundayPix just randomly reset to 10 or more hours ago. I know it's Sunday (here), but hopefully this will turn up on somebody's list on Monday.

For #SundayPixFamily, I offer, although I probably shouldn't, my photograph of this photograph of my Uncle David and Aunty Dot's wedding. My Mother, who will be 90 in August, is rear row 2nd from camera right. Beside my Father, behind my Grandfather. Everyone in this photo, except Mum, is dead.

The same donald trump who threatened "years in jail" for people who touch the peeling paint in the Reflecting pool pardoned 1500 people who destroyed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

We are not a serious country 🇺🇸

And at 18:26 AEST we have past the Winter Solstice and head towards longer days and shorter nights. I took the 18:24 to snog Mrs Wolfcat as today is our anniversary of the day we meet, so a post 2 min late is the best you people get. Yes she called me weird for doing that.

The Sun at his zenith today (and from an external pov he is always at his zenith) was over the Tropic of Cancer. This very minute (18:24 AEST/08:24 UTC) he has paused, thought, and headed back south. Happy June Solstice, everyone!

Any photographers/videographers who follow me able to help Robyn out with some basic advice on making GIFs? Or a link to a good tutorial would be appreciated I suspect.

Post one (1) photo of a painting that you took with your very own hands.

I fed the cats a while ago and it was new packet of dry food time so I grabbed one of my pocket knives from the rack. This one was a 'sports' liner lock folder and I was surprised to find the blade wobbly. A quick check disassembly solved the mystery. The liner dissolved in my hands!

Shout out to the Scots showing the lovely Americans what alcohol, travel insurance, and socialised health care waiting at home can achieve. "Big historical horsecunt was pure beggin' for a conin'", noted one onlooker.

If I were a civil engineer, Which, I hasten to add, I'm not, Sir, I'd whip out my slide rule, real quick smart, And be calculating a lot, Sir.

We did it! We together made our target and raised in a single day an incredible $1,500,357 ❤️❤️❤️ We showed that love can triumph over hate. That our diversity is our strength. Our Multicultural and First Peoples communities coming together, united is what makes us strong!

This is the way

By Poseidon's pustulent prick! I have sailed through some 'greenies', but never have I seen the leading edge of a wave curl over and strike the weatherdeck abaft the beam! Look at how the vessel twitches ~15° to port just from the weight of the seawater! www.facebook.com/reel/2196176...
