I didn't know you could buy cycling shorts for birds

Smashed three car windows already to save dogs from the heat. Haven’t found any yet but I’m not giving up.

Rare red warning. Risk to life. Stay out of the sun. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Picture editor: "Counterpoint: Run the fun-on-the-beach shots?" We won't improve heat coverage until we stop illustrating public health emergencies with beach photos. www.independent.co.uk/weather/heat...

Hate seeing people leave dogs tied up outside shops in this weather. It's 26 degrees and I just saw a dog tied to a bike rack with no shade nearby. Luckily gone when I came back less than 10 minutes later but still can't be pleasant for the dog.

We have to end the BBC. We have to end the Times. We have to end the Telegraph, the Mail, the Guardian. Journalism in the UK is racist, transphobic, anti-immigrant, anti-traveller, ableist, and overall staggeringly irresponsible. It must be stopped.

The British press disgusts me on a daily basis but they really are outdoing themselves this week. I hate them so much.

when the butt thief is in town

Well, it happened again. I got put on the jumbotron at the grocery store and everyone booed my groceries

CYCLE OF HATE and then the pic is this

Nooooooooo 😭

Happy World Goth Day to that one Beaker in particular

I'm nearly 36 and just as I entered adulthood we had a global financial crash that was followed by 16 years of brutal austerity that ensured my country never recovered. I can see why some people might decide they can't afford to have kids, or might not want to bring kids into this shithole tbh.

Amazing we're still doing "vote Labour to keep Reform out" when it's clear Labour doesn't have any safe seats anymore and they're consistently 3rd-5th in every poll. Centrist melts have learned nothing.

Yknow what with the Burnham by election it actually would be greens splitting the vote letting Reform win and im totally cool with that. Thats what you get for trying to game democracy and expect support. Never vote Labour again if you care about, well, anyone

There is really only one person who should be the new James Bond

Evergreen headline.

last week i found out no-one thinks about this as often as I do

WAITER: would you care for dessert JEFF: i’ll have the jello GEOFF: i’ll have the geollo JEFF: jesus christ not this again GEOFF: geosus christ

Still remarkable to me that half the world is doing 'unrestricted social media usage is bad for kids' and 'we need to put chatbots that tell you to kill your family in every classroom and every toy' at the same time

Just on the train going past two horses that have fallen out.

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

I don't think I could make a joke better than this

When you elect conservatives, they will spend SO MUCH of their time in office indulging in their own weird sexual obsessions. You're electing bathroom monitors, book banners, genital police. Their obsession with sexual activity, usually involving children, is both creepy and endless.

Hope whatever is happening with the moon doesn't overshadow the fact I just saw two ducks leaving a gay bar

what people sound like when they say i asked claude

There needs to be legislation to stop employers from classing their staff as self-employed contractors when they clearly aren't. They're getting away with some outrageous bullshit.

Thread of non-English Wikipedia articles about slang/idioms!!! Here's “Ketchupeffekt” from Swedish Wikipedia. They're all autotranslated to English in my browser

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to put on a tactical vest and go to the newark airport at 6 am on monday. your order is to wander around like a confused oaf. when a mom drops her sandwich at jersey mike's and scares you, pull out your gun and start shooting. good luck soldier

Not only that, but this war will have utterly discredited every notable Iranian public figure who ever pushed for moderation and concessions, on the grounds that the US and Israel were reasonable and could be appeased. All of those people are now fucked and excluded, I would assume for decades.

Calling these things dogs is an affront to dogs, who are good and pure. Also they don't even look like dogs.

Had an uncle like this at my wedding

Green Party health policy is being updated as we speak and will be voted on at conference this year. Long before the next general election. It's being written by healthcare professionals based on best practice. Labour healthcare policy is written by private healthcare based on profitability.

I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.

And so it went, night after night, year after year. In fact, the Hansens had been in a living hell ever since that fateful day the neighbor’s “For Sale” sign had come down and a family of howler monkeys had moved in.

I normally don’t criticise personal decor choices but honestly I do have a problem with the asterisk here. If you’re gonna do that you need to commit, go all in www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.

In other shocking news buried in this transparent hit piece against sick people, GPs are signing more sick notes now than they were six years ago. A comment not accompanied whatsoever by mention of the effects of the ongoing Covid pandemic.

Principled Labour backbenchers increasingly sounding like they're in an opposition party and need to accept their party has been taken over by right wing freaks tbh

If you say "my skin is so dry" people might recommend a lotion but if you say "my skin is so wet" no one will help you

The perfect headline doesn’t exi…

Politely fried tf outta my man

Been reading the Daily Mail call people "luvvies" since I was a child and I still don't know what it's supposed to mean.
