Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says

Knickers at half mast today everyone, for Jilly Cooper x

This has to stop. STOP attacking the mosques, STOP attacking the synagogues, stop it all. Jewish people as a community are not responsible for the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza. Muslim people as a community are not responsible for the actions of Hamas. This type of protest helps NOBODY.

The tensions are rising and being built by those who would have us hate each other, to serve their political ends.

People who say audiobooks don't count as reading are fuckin losers

A hideous, and for traumatised British Jews profoundly unhelpful, expression of allyship & agreement with a violent, racist, serial criminal & former member of an avowedly anti-Semitic organisation from the *Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs* and so, as Sunder says, the Israeli government. 1/3

“This morning, Germany is one nation again.” This is how BBC Breakfast News reported on German reunification, 35 years ago today.

This one really hurts 💔 I grew up loving her in Hetty Wainthropp Investigates and Keeping Up Appearances. I still have my Hetty Wainthropp Investigates dvd boxset. She was a British icon. #RIPPatriciaRoutledge

Sound on for The Railway Children (1970). It looks like a folk horror film, so I added scary noises to the trailer. Listen to me and @eleanormorton.bsky.social for more: linktr.ee/readthat

What the hell is wrong with people. Attacking a synagogue, especially during Yom Kippur is horrendous. I hope the injured make a full recovery.

Tory party’s long journey away from science, reason, responsibility, common sense and truth is complete

Activists from multiple countries, including the UK, have risked their safety to try and deliver critical aid to the starving people of Gaza. They have been intercepted and detained by the IDF. The UK cannot abide this; we must act urgently to ensure the safety of all on board.

Thoughts with our Jewish brothers and sisters, following the awful stabbing incident in Manchester. Sending love, strength and solidarity to the entire community at this time ❤️

We used to think the future would be a warless, disease-free, gleaming utopia, but it turned out to be more like the plot of a zero-budget, straight-to-VHS, B-movie horror sci-fi that's so awful it doesn't even possess a so-bad-it's-funny-and-cool kind of charm.

Yesterday and today we went to the cinema to see the Spider-Man trilogy rerelease. I saw them at the cinema in the 00s, but didn't see the extended Spider-Man 2. Tobey Maguire remains the only Spider-Man for me. And Peter & Mary Jane the only legit Peter Parker ship. #SpiderMan

Polar bears occupy abandoned Soviet-era research station

A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

Netanyahu: "Would a country committing genocide plead with the civilian population that it is supposedly targeting to get out of harms way? Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave? Of course not" Actually, encouraging Jews to emigrate is exactly what the Nazis did 1933-39. Ignorant of Jewish history.

NEW: When Labour voters were asked why they believed things were getting worse for the UK, they overwhelmingly cited Brexit as the number one cause, with 69 per cent naming the decision to leave the European Union as the main reason behind the country’s problems. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Claire should have won #Masterchef

Microsoft has disabled the Israeli Defense Ministry’s access to certain services/subscriptions after finding evidence they used them to surveil Gaza citizens.

The vacuum at highest levels in talking about this dark turn in British life over the last few months HAS to end.

I got a private taxi from a hospital appointment, and the driver put on the UCB 2 radio station and made me listen to Christian bullshit for over 40 mins 🤮 It made me gag having to listen to the propaganda being shoved down my throat. #AtheistAndProundOfIt #ReligionsAreBullshit

Someone filmed a rapture. The background music is perfect 😇🤣

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

This Rapture could’ve been an email

Oh no, Nancylee Myatt has died 😭 I have followed her for years on social media. I became a fan of hers because of her work on South of Nowhere. Then I was also a fan of Nikki & Nora, and then her webseries 3Way. She was a pioneer in sapphic media. #RIPNancyLeeMyatt

70 years ago today ITV launched. Associated Radiodiffusion broadcasted from 7.15pm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y2G...

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

I went to see The Sound of Music 60th Anniversary at the cinema, and I realied the tv version I grew up watching is not the full version. I saw scenes I've never seen before. Apparently, the streaming services also have it in full. Television has lied to me since I was a kid. #TheSoundOfMusic

A welcome - and long overdue - step. But while it’s necessary, it’s deeply insufficient - and must be accompanied by urgent action to help bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.

Broadcaster John Stapleton dies aged 79

I went to see A Big Bold Beautiful Journey at the cinema today. It is a little slow in parts, but overall I enjoyed it. Colin and Margot have amazing chemistry, and the plot got me feeling the emotions it was for aiming for. #ABigBoldBeautifulJourney

"Help me, Obi-wan-Kenobi. You're my only hope."

Enjoying the two guys on this year's Bake Off who look like they could be rival chieftains in Iron Age Gaul

We just finished watching a cute gay rom-com. It's called A Nice Indian Boy, and it stars Jonathan Groff. If you're looking for a sweet movie that will make you smile, then I recommend it. #ANiceIndianBoy🏳️‍🌈

Weird how the 100,000 aren't out protesting Trump. The man found guilty of sexual assault, accused of rape by at least 28 women, including one who was 13 at the time, and he is on the Epstein list. Seems like, "legitimate concerns", don't apply to white foreigners #Hypocrisy

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Janey Godley tribute.

The first episode of Postman Pat was broadcast on this day in 1981

This needs to be followed by action, particularly on protecting trans people, but the rhetoric is extremely welcome www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This dog led an officer to his leash while being rescued from his burning home. 14/10 for all (IG: aurorapoliceil)

Well look at that, an absolute PRINCE died, beloved by the world, leaving behind a glorious legacy that everyone can enjoy forever x

I just heard about Robert Redford 😢I always loved him in Legal Eagles #RIPRobertRedford

Today in 1940 the Germans launched a massive attack on London. 1500 planes clashed & the RAF inflicted big losses. It forced Hitler to delay any invasion plans indefinitely. It is remembered as #BattleofBritainDay

Lib Dem leader Davey: “The Government needs to block any future contracts with Tesla, and block Musk from being granted a license to supply energy to British homes “Ministers should make clear that if you are egging on violence on the streets of the UK, you are not someone we can do business with.”

We have a confirmation of a (lead couple) lesbian Christmas movie this season on Hallmark! Ali Liebert and Katherine Barrell star in THE CHRISTMAS BABY (w/t), about a couple who find themselves surprisingly in charge of a baby just before the holidays. Directed by Eva Tavares in her feature debut.
