I'm contacting you the baby

"this would be really bad and so, ipso facto, it can't happen" is the assumption underlying the entire Trump era and it's sort of bleakly funny to see people clinging to it even as the train is jumping the tracks

when u tax the rich

Very dapper man with premium kitten accessories. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

suddenly remembering i haven't plugged my newest in a while. i think everyone should buy and read the book SIMPLICITY which i'm just so tremendously proud of the further i get away from it

the tech world has genuinely not grappled with how many people despise them and what they make

Picture a desert island (if you can picture things). What do you see? That’s right: the sea, white sands… and jungle. That is NOT a desert. It’s time we sorted this mess out.

I'm not sure what step 3 is after "run the whole internet off three servers" and "start vibe coding" but I sure am looking forward to foraging for berries.

Remember when those members of hospital staff were punished for accessing Ed Sheeran’s patient records? Now the government is giving Palantir unlimited access to this kind of data and it’s apparently fine

#CursedZillow Please look at this "melted toy left in the car" house. It's astounding www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Wish you could best those multi-coloured Pac Man ghosts in the flesh? Now you can. A life-sized Pac Man arena in Singapore is turning a classic arcade game into a real world experience. 👻👻👻 Run! #games #arcade #pacman

Don't know who needs to hear this, but Unclench your jaw Let your shoulders drop Liquefy all your connective tissue for the nutrients Slither bonelessly off your chair Wick yourself up the walls through capillary action Envelop the room Become a new god Become a new god

Casual no tie Starmer comes across less as 'everyman' and more as 'she's turned the weans against us'

We have a very exciting opportunity for someone to become our new Community Partnerships Curator! You'll lead on the co-creation of a major public exhibition, exploring and reimagining Britain’s relationship with displaced communities. Find out more and apply: jobs.reading.ac.uk/tlive_webrec...

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

Am increasingly of the belief that politics in this country would immediately become 15% less shit if the existing crop of lobby hacks were fired into the sun and replaced with, I don't know, goats.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Can we make this happen again

“The British press usually works itself into a fury if people in public life threaten legal action against journalists... But when it comes to the wall of money and lawyers propping up Farage and his finances, barely a squeak” Democracy dying in the darkness. www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel...

The Scottish Tories dedicated themselves more to transphobia than anyone. They've been wrecked in Scotland, losing nearly two thirds of their seats. The Scottish Greens and LibDems stood in solidarity with trans people and doubled their seats. No major news outlet will comment on this dynamic.

Yes, very true. Absolutely.

I feel like male violence against women is so acceptable - that a man bombing his partner and himself to death in Bristol isn’t being treated by media, pundits and politicians as being illustrative of a national emergency and an act of terrorism- It absolutely is www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think we got a full weekend meaty breakfast chorus this morning. #EverybodyLovesMousecow #ScampiVonMonkeyface #AndMissyToo

Starmer gives off huge 'no worries if not!' vibes I never get the sense he believes in what he's saying at any given time - his speeches always come across like he's been handed a piece of paper and told what to say by strategy wonks (probably because he has) You can't run a country like this!

Ready for more Green results? AND WHAT A RESULT IN HARINGEY 🎉 2022: 0 seats 2026: 28 seats Greens become the largest party on Haringey council 💚

Daughter's school was doing a celebration for David Attenborough's 100th birthday today. Out of curiosity, I asked her if she actually knew who he was. "He's the man who teaches us to care about nature". ...I mean, I can think of infinitely worse legacies.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Don’t run universities like a business run it as a public good

Are there other crimes you can commit where the successful Defence argument is that you did it in the past, or

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

This is the age of impunity

First Ever Green Senedd member 🎉 Anthony Slaughter has been elected to the Senedd in Caerdydd Penarth – huge congratulations!

Happy 100th birthday to David Attenborough! What better excuse could there be to post Hot Young Attenborough, as a reminder that before he was the nation's favourite uncle, he was a suave twink with a glint in his eye that's definitely still there.

It’s awkward luck that two massive UK events have landed on the same day. While the election results are obviously crucial, let’s not forget to gawp in wonder at the astonishing career of the UK’s most revered public figure — David Attenborough will never be matched www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc...

I really wonder what the fallout is going to be because the sanitized version of history they’ve sold for a long time is “Jim Crow was a shameful moment in history but we defeated it and came out the other side a better country” and now it’s just… back it’s the end of a myth in the starkest terms

We are dismayed by news regarding UG History, and other subjects, at Hertfordshire. This follows recent job losses at Essex and elsewhere, and makes clear the crisis in UK HE. The Society is in touch and working with historians at UoH. As ever, we invite contact from others affected #Skystorians

Do you remember that one episode of The Tellytubbies where Mr Blobby turned up and just fully ate LaLa? Like, devoured him alive. The camera wouldn't shy away. The baby in the sun wept for, in spite of her nuclear might, she knew that she was powerless to stop the horror.

Worth noting that this *never* used to happen and now it's normal. sahanjournal.com/climate-envi...

sister just roasted me alive

Anyone skeptical that it took four years to produce Epstein’s suicide note have clearly never dealt with writer’s block

Things would still be bad if Hillary beat Trump, but it wouldn't be "End of VRA, mass domestic ethnic cleansing, strait of hormuz is now closed and now farmers dont have fertilizer" bad.

No one normal wants these things around them.

Tell meeeee #art #cuteart #cat

Yeah- the “sweet spot” of pandemics is a pathogen that spreads easily, with little immunity, and that kills people. Hantavirus doesn’t spread easily enough to become a pandemic. Wouldn’t want to be a shipmate/next to someone on a plane (but hey, I use N95 on planes), but risk of pandemic near zero
