Rapture tomorrow, bins on Thursday.

Feed this poor starving gentleman immediately!

Good.

It is a truth too often unacknowledged, that a populist in possession of the public's rage must be in perpetual want of an enemy.

UK medicine regulator confirms there is no evidence paracetamol causes autism in children www.gov.uk/government/n...

awh, this is a lovely piece by @janeskyn.bsky.social about the loss of her consumer testing feline sidekick, Iggy, who I've always thought must be a relative of Daphne's given his long tabby-and-white floof and bandit mask. Losing a cat is really hard. www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

ah, men who confidently quote-RT you to dunk on you when they are completely wrong 🙄 *detaches quote*

not the main thing at all, but in the year of our lord twenty twenty five, can we not say "staff" rather than "man"?

I'm sorry, but those of you who don't put a space either side of an em-dash are savages.

This tends to support my theory that everyone is born knowing all the words to Bohemian Rhapsody, even those of us who were born before it was written. It is ancestral knowledge from deep time. Freddie Mercury was just sharing that knowledge.

That's not a sandwich. That's a crime scene.

honestly, you lot are far more effective at platforming Farage's deliberately provocative kite-flying and spreading it via the compound effect of socials than any "mAiNsTrEaM mEdIa".

once again I am begging you all not to use third-party link-shortening services. You don't need to use them! Once the preview shows up on your post you can delete the link itself so you have all the characters! And those of us on zero-trust work laptops get blocked if we click a shorturl!

just put socks on for the first time in MONTHS.

Tempting as though it is to - as Churchill said of Chamberlain - view our national affairs through the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe, I do not believe Keir Starmer has convinced France, Canada and Australia to recognise the Palestinian state to protect Wes Streeting’s majority.

Bus vignette: there is a woman on this bus perfomatively laughing at her call (on speaker, natch, which is how I know it's not that funny) and force of the loathing being directed at her by everyone else could solve the energy crisis.

*clears throat* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Pretty sure an ITV documentary on prime time national telly, plus an inquiry, plus loads of coverage in newspapers, plus a two-part BBC series on Michelle Mone means this story isn't being suppressed

lovely obit for the lovely John Stapleton on BBC news. An absolute legend indeed.

Area man who couldn't convince his local constituents to elect him says he'll convince American authoritarian leader to be nicer to Canada.

Dear Etsy sellers, please put measurements on your vintage dress listings. "UK size 8" doesn't tell me anything - size 8 from the 60s? Modern size 8? (Those two things are not the same ... ) www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Oh no, I'm really sad about this. I worked with John at the BBC in the 80s and he was always lovely. Saw him more recently at a bash and he remembered me and was delighted to catch up. Sending love to @nickstapleton.tv and everyone who also loved John.

I'm reading this at the moment and I think this is a generous review. The plot is interesting enough to keep reading, but it's also stodgy in places, and every time I read McEwan, I remember why I don't read him very often.

Somebody should have put some powder on the judges before this bit - they're shiny from sitting under the lights #Strictly

Explaining Stefan Dennis to the kids. They were on board by Bouncer’s Dream. #strictly

Johannes and Alex is a great pairing #Strictly

if you're a woman and a member of the AA, now might be a good time to reconsider

just realised it's going to be a great autumn for Claudia fans, as Celeb Traitors is starting soon too #Strictly

It's TIME #Strictly

Completely unacceptable to leave a woman stranded like this. WTF are they playing at?

Absolutely pitch-perfect scold: bang on tone, factually wrong at every beat. 10/10, no notes.

How did that dipshit manage to get "pig in a poke" backwards

oh god this was so much fun. I'd been out, came home and looked at Twitter and went WTF, then posted "wait, hang on, is it really true that Cameron fucked a pig???" and had everyone reply YES YES IT'S TRUE IT'S HILARIOUS and then failed to go to bed for several hours because I was laughing so much

A man genuinely came up to me on the street and said the Fabians were part of a new world order of control. Baffling that they can fit it in between pamphlets on prison reform.

We should be grateful to the tankies for providing us with such delicious comedy in these otherwise dark times

I WAS JOKING

I would like to apply to be part of the #GBBO cleanup crew My skills are: - making food disappear quickly - excellent handshakes - cleaning up spills

Just finished reading @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social's new book, The Traitors Circle - it's brilliantly written and absolutely chilling, about how a circle of nice middle-class German dissenters were persecuted by the Nazis, with two executed. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s...

This is an enraging read - influencers are telling women that folic acid is toxic & causes autism, thus putting them off taking it in vitamins if they're trying to get pregnant. Worse, they're peddling expensive supplements that don't have folic acid - and Serena Williams is a shill for one of them

Increasingly sure that I am going to ban the word "seamless" from copy when I am head of the world.

it would be nice if a) this job ad were not behind the paywall and b) it had the salary on it.

Andy Burnham is the Boris Johnson of the left.

If we're doing a list of Best Ways To Eat Spuds, where is the absolute God-tier of potato dishes on this list, ie dauphinoise? Also, this list reminds me that spuds are rendered not just edible but ambrosial only with the addition of lots of fat/butter and salt.

I can save you the effort. Clippy Plagiarism Thirstwater does not suffer. To suffer, you have to be alive, and it's not fucking alive, you daft motherfuckers. If you're so concerned about the suffering of sentients, there's plenty of that going around that you can pour billions into alleviating.

I'm starting to think that Musk might not be a very good manager

Roadworks will tear us apart, again

watching the news and the King does not look well

Chris Mason at the Chequers presser doing a 98-part question that's really more of a comment

If I had a nickel for every time the hosts of mega-hit podcast "The Rest Is History" said rape allegations weren't credible because everyone else said he was such a nice guy, then I'd have almost as many nickels as the hosts of mega-hit podcast "The Rest Is History"
