Absolutely shocking. We're offering an overall award of £10k for information that leads to a conviction in these cases. We need to make raptor persecution a thing of the past.

Occasionally YouTube seems to remember that I cry laughing at this and drops it into my feed. Tonight was one of those nights. My favourite Benedict Cumberbatch performance: youtu.be/ZXusaBNctC8?...

It's so dark this morning, puppy still thinks it's night *hits snooze*

It makes me realise how different people are when I'm reminded that people are persevering with Instagram. That site lost its way a long time ago.

Could've just stopped after 'nonsense'.

A list of 34 new House of Lords appointments has just been published. Our Director, Meg Russell, wrote a thread last week about the problems related to these appointments. She highlighted that Keir Starmer is one of the most proliferate appointers of peers. Read the list (and the thread below) 👇

I'm just doing an annual BUY ALL THE CLEANING PRODUCTS shop and thought I'd give Bio-D a shout-out in case anyone is looking for really ethical and eco cleaning stuff that's also good. Not an affiliate or reward link, just a genuine recommendation. Also, Yorkshire! biod.co.uk

Oh. I'd already made my peace with Netflix as the movie overlord.

White. Is everyone at Pantone quiet quitting? Very 2025 energy.

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

I'd like to thank robots for highlighting man's greatest achievement: being bipedal.

It doesn't have to be a song and a music video necessarily. For example, like how the song Turn Down for What fits perfectly with the looped speedboat fail clip...

Does anyone know of any other examples of where a video synchs perfectly to other audio, like the This Is America video clip set to Call Me Maybe?

Today the news will be about the government's proposals for juries. Please read this thread so as to be informed about the actual practical problems in the criminal justice system - problems which will not be solved by this misconceived and illiberal tinkering.

My mental health declined pretty badly last wk but some of you asked for more photos like the hunt-the-tiny-owl one I made & I wanted to try to make an advent calendar so:some lovely things that fell off trees & this time a tiny deer stag to find. Do let me know if you enjoy this & I'll make more 🦌

Don't the countries have to be at war for it to be a war crime? Are we saying that the 'Peace President' has started a war?

My phone generated a photo album called like "loving memories" with a photo of me and my partner at dinner as the cover, and when I opened it it was just various pizzas I've eaten over the last few years with sentimental music.

Me and the puppy are under a blanket on the sofa with fireplace on netflix, lamps set to candle and sigur ros on Spotify while the wind howls outside and rain batters against the windows. It's digital cosy.

Keir Starmer has said a number of things in his speech today where you look at it and go 'uh, this is complete nonsense that isn't backed up by anything the government is *actually* doing'. All going essentially unscrutinised.

Think this is exactly right - political journalism that is completely abstracted from policy, which was not the norm before 2017, has become the default. Impossible to have a serious attempt to either shrink what the state does or widen the tax base (have to do at least one) on that basis.

Once again I have been compelled to draw an Absolute Unit.

I'm celebrating the start of December with cherry and cacao porridge this morning. Only three weeks until the winter solstice.

Imagine all cars were electric, and then one Volkswagen engineer comes up with another idea … #EMobility

I just watched episode six of Down Cemetery Road and OMG TRICKY'S BLACK STEEL! open.spotify.com/track/52QqxU...

It might have something to do with the fact that almost every government this century was elected on a minority of the vote. Just saying.

…were previously, and paid taxes, and may well be again in future. People have families. Things happen to them which prevent them from working. Nick and his mates seem to think that the children should suffer. We see them for what they are. Well done Chancellor. #Budget

We need to smash this untruth shared by Nick Robinson on #r4today, and by his mates in the Tory/Reform party, that working people will be funding people who do not work with the lifting of the benefit cap. They are very often the same people. 60% of beneficiaries are IN WORK and many others ...

I shut the car door on my thumb today. Excited to see what colour it is in the morning.

This makes my heart hurt

Please sign this petition for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics. I don't care if you're left or right, Reform or Corbynite - we can't allow a hostile foreign nation to run riot in our political ecosystem. Sign and share. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

IMPORTANT UPDATE

I concur

*Adds this to the reasons I won't fly with Ryanair*

I find it baffling that people continue to use services like Instagram and Google search despite them now being complete crap.

🚨 SCOOP: Toyota and Aston Martin secretly lobbied a Conservative cabinet minister to weaken Britain’s climate policy. We only know this because Democracy for Sale won a two-year legal fight to force the government to hand over the documents. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/victory-we...

If Lord Rothermere's DMG Media takes control of the Telegraph, he would own nearly 50% of the UK's national newspaper industry - and a huge share of all online news reach. Britain's media is rapidly being Orbanised: government must act to protect media plurality www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah Is a SATIRE — a Music Theory multi-modal melody-lyrical interpolated SATIRE — of Christianity’s attitude towards Jewish people & Judaism.

Did Tess think she was cast as a nativity angel tonight? #Strictly

I stopped breathing!! Karen and Carlos really brought the drama. #Strictly

What a sweaty night. They're all missing the AC of Elstree. #Strictly

I hope La Voix does the #Strictly tour

Unexpected but I want a whole Arctic Monkeys swing album after that. #Strictly

I guess Steps filled a La Voix shaped scheduling hole and I enjoyed it. #Strictly
