The same goes for political leaders and basically everyone else. Everyone is gonna make a mistake or do or say something you don’t like. Please stop needing essentially decent people to be perfect. Arseholes / malignant narcissists and twats are still fair game.

Proof of meeting We brought Terry!

I first met @chaptal.bsky.social on twitter around 2009/ 2010. Meeting him in person today was an absolute joy. Walking home in that little monsoon was the icing on the cake. Thank you!!

STORM IS COMING WOOOOOOOOOO

Where my fellow Zohran Mamdani’s at? Feeling righteous. Feeling smug.

China is eating our lunch in almost everything. (no sound needed) China builds solar parks over reservoirs. This design improves the efficiency of the panels by keeping them cooler and lowers water loss from evaporation

Northern Ireland, are you ok? www.lightningmaps.org

Haha, nice one @privateeyenews.bsky.social !

He's a nervous guy.

Genuine question. The teen managed to get a last minute ticket to see Metallica tomorrow night in Glasgow. It’s going to be hot here (for Glasgow) they’re thinking about wearing their cheap Stetson as sun protection . Is the ‘metal cowperson’ look still ok or does it give right wing vibes?

Calling all fellow childless cat people. I am doing an event on 7 July for death prep when you're ageing without children. It's free. Register here www.tickettailor.com/events/agein...

Just wow. I Googled to see if 18th century artist Henry Fuseli had ever painted Orpheus and Eurydice, and AI overview said: "It appears you may be blending the tragic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with the distinct, spiraling noodle known as fusilli"

I keep this one saved

Europe is red hot this week & we are seeing red. People are being killed by our government’s inaction in the face of extreme weather. It is preventable, but they refuse to what is necessary, ban fossil fuels & invest in renewables The power to demand change is in our hands.

The blockbusters hand jive but every time it loops it gets faster and gradually more terrifyingy

…huh. HK is exaggerating here, but not very much. Guardian called this Starmer's "most personal interview yet." He barely comes across as human. "part of being Keir is just ploughing on […] knowing where I’ve got to go, without allowing myself time to stop and have a discussion with myself." 😐

This is the caption on a reel the teenager just sent me. I am delighted by it

Add your name to the union-backed petition to tell the HSE that we need a maximum working temperature www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/we...

This is only the beginning. The climate crisis is here. So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait? It can't. We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act. metro.co.uk/2026/06/22/g...

The way to avoid the constant churning of leaders in every party is to focus on ability, stability and competence over style and charisma. Cult of personality is making us place all of our hopes on one human who looks good in a suit and talks a good game. It’s not useful.

Every time I open the BBC news app the coming heatwave temperature rises. I’m so sorry if you’re stuck in the middle of that.

The Trump effect. When you find yourself quietly delighted that truly dreadful people and inhumane regimes are winding Trump up to the point of narcissistic rage and collapse. It ain’t right, but it’s kinda fun to watch.

Excellent news

Over the last few years I’ve been gifted or have found adorable little felt representations of the Green Man/ Hern , Diana the Huntress and a little happy magic frog to represent me and my life. My altar is whimsical AF now and I love it Happy Solstice, witches. May the light guide you on your way

Thomas House of Dublin exhibiting the pro-human solidarity that all of us should demonstrate.

Getting up on my wee high horse for a minute. It’s a very high horse and I don’t actually like it up here. Let’s have hope for a minute. Let’s believe we can fix this mess. The old white men will be dead soon and we get to choose new leaders who aren’t so obsessed with the patriarchy.

Michelle Obama just delivered one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard. She upheld her husband’s legacy, defended the dignity of all people, appealed to our better angels, & reminded us of the America that we could be. What a contrast to the depravity occupying the White House.

"Those are fucking insane glasses, Snapchat." "Exactly." Fucking Insane Glasses, by Snapchat.

Hittin’ the Rode again! (Gosh, it’s a lovely mic!) Recording for our next episode is complete and Episode 1 of Season 2 will be in your ears very soon. Whatever happened to the Future?

This is like one of those optical illusion rooms where you change size as you walk through it.

And this is how I managed to miss the entirety of Peter Capaldi’s time as The Doctor. I couldn’t cope with it.

The tyranny of ‘nice days’ - I still feel ashamed for being inside on a nice day because I was hounded out of the house as a kid. I just wanted to read and listen to music

Miss Darcy, aka Mrs The Dog is very proud to be Scottish. She hates sport though. Sport makes the humans shout and that scares her and please stop it

In the words of Marina Diamandis: “The planet has a funny way of stopping a fight.” In the words of me: “NATURE OVER MANKIND!!!!” Bring it, Zeus.

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.
