Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes. Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

For the celsius folk, this is minus 22 degrees And the people will not be deterred 💪

I was reminded of this all time classic recently

youtube.com/watch?v=90Zq... if you need a bit of an escape from doomscrolling, this is an interesting little video. The narration starts in present day English and reverts back along with the timeline. Many words recognisable until about 1300. #history #anthropology #linguistics #relax

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent trees I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

Remember when we just argued about Brexit on Twatter.

It's looking that way. Bit lazy. #TheArchers

I wonder how all this nonsense would be panning out if the EU Referendum went the other way...

Live now Friends

Amazing thread on a huge extinct organism that formed columns over 8 metres tall - long thought to be an early fungus but is actually unrelated to anything alive today!

youtube.com/watch?v=02F9... #musicismagic #reggae #music I could wang on about the jam at the end of this... but I have no reggae friends to nerd out with.

Cannot believe the world is being controlled by a man not in control of his own faculties…

In this house, we are Team Bramber #TheArchers

Agreed

open.spotify.com/track/4Rvhe8... yes, it's exactly why you'd think I'd like this song. Look at my handle for God's sake. The dude abides.

youtube.com/watch?v=1puX... What a voice. What a northern lass. What an artiste. #musicismagic #magic #moloko

youtube.com/watch?v=VuU2... I adore this track. I think its the strings and brass...and Boothe's voice- delicious. I have a not-so-secret ambition to hold a reggae/ska/dance hall night in Hull at some point during my life. Got about a 6 hour set I reckon.

He needs to be at Davos or it's a waste of my time

youtube.com/watch?v=rdiY... I think, this is actually one of my desert island discs. Pure. Perfect. (how many are you allowed, is it 10?) Anyway, I give you one of the most *beautiful* songs in existence. In my opinion.

youtube.com/watch?v=vsGs... empty house. I've found even if I'm in a shit place, forcing myself to sing is surprisingly good for my MH. It's not just wu wu. #Music #MusicIsMagic Does anyone else have a vocal workout?

Might have my last whisky. It's been a day.

open.spotify.com/track/1RmH8l... one for those about to get up x

youtube.com/watch?v=aU_z... time for a few tunes. #musicismagic #WitchSky #Music

Just written a long letter to one of my nearest and dearest about not doing things out of obligation. I hope it's heard and understood. I hope I've done the right thing.

I've had to switch it off. Going to put a yellow duster in the tumble dryer and watch that drone on instead. Far more intellectually stimulating

He's trotted out the "Europe is unrecognisable" myth which he reserves for his deluded support base that will never go to Europe and the guys at GB News who gleefully share it as a banner ... from their gleaming studio in bustling, thriving Central London

Regretting that leftover Aldi Cava with lunch. I'm such a lightweight these days. Tipsy on a Wednesday lunchtime, who do I think I am!?

Oooh! History with a pinch of paranormal? Yes please! This is right up my street. Giving it a listen now and 2 minutes in already know I'll end up binging it. Congratulations on what I'm sure is a well-deserved following after all of your hard work making this.

The irony that I've consumed "enough ganja to knock out a rhino,"* yet it's my conservative, recently-displaying-human-emotions-mother who's rescued my anxiety by feeding me CBD sweets. You never truly know what life's going to bring you.

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu. Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

Morning all. Go lightly.

Vote for Reform UK and get the very worst of the Tories... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/18/reform-tory-defections-robert-jenrick

That was a bit meh, apart from Chelsea and Brad's heart to heart. #TheArchers

E'en all. It could still be Will! #TheArchers

Reposting again for the tea time rounds, as this was just the craziest read!
