The first woman in Parliament to appear in the Guardian's 'best-dressed at Glastonbury' feature. You'll never sing that, etc...

Lmao

Playing with fire? Is Hannah Spencer even on the Gas Safe Register?

More words in this (fractally horrendous) statement than people who voted for the Tory candidate, I think.

Twat dooming Reform? (4,7)

Given that we're told that Muslims as a bloc are communalist, anti-Semitic, misogynist homophobes, you might assume voting for a non-religious white woman, standing for a LGBT friendly party, led by a gay Jewish man, might lead you to stand down all those sectarianism headlines.

Oregon Trail was a great game even though the graphics were a little buggy

The thing is, if Labour have passed below the trust thermocline, things could change very quickly. every.to/p/breaching-...

ok, this is my favorite so far:

The Great 19th Century English Novels -Pride and Prejudice -Sense and Sensibility -Persuasion and Persuadability -Emma and Eminence -Wuther and Wuthering -Man and Mansfield Park -Wave and Waverly -Van Fair and Vanity Fair -Bleak House and Bleak Hospitality

Going to say this now: it's really important journalists reporting on this election are clear that allegations that the election isn't free and fair are completely false.

Bolsonaro literally jailed for this

It's been reported that Red Dwarf creator Rob Grant has died. Well, smeg. :( www.ganymede.tv/2026/02/rob-...

Given the renewed interest in glyphosate, here's my piece on the chemical and how we know that it almost certainly does not cause cancer: gidmk.substack.com/p/glyphosate...

Pictured: zero abominations.

a reddit post went "what 3 items would you bring through the checkout to freak out your Walmart cashier" and while most of the answers were pretty standard (rope, gasoline, and disposable gloves! 2 big cucumbers and crisco!) the one I still think about was "1. doughnuts. 2. donut holes. 3. glue"

Of course, with its pyramid, Stockport is Cairo-on-Mersey

BART is one of those things that if you didn't know it exists and saw a film clip of it you would assume it was an extremely expensive and elaborate set for a film set in an alternative 1970s where, oh I don't know, maybe Kennedy hadn't been assassinated

Stupid tramless country.

To celebrate Shrektember 1st, let me tell you about the first time I saw Shrek and was briefly barred from the Odeon Bristol. Cast your mind back to Summer 2001, it was warm and a group of us had gathered in a local park. Cans were chugged, roll ups rolled, life was good. 1/

Let’s see how far a man walking into a mosque with an axe in Manchester last night is down the BBC News page

To complete the T-levels, UK students have to do a work placement. What we discovered this week is that an employer can cancel a placement on a whim, putting a student’s qualification & university place at risk. Seems like a shockingly big design flaw. This week has been very stressful.

Can’t believe what this dummy did to get out of playing a bridge hand.

Never a big Narnia guy but this 6 seconds typifies everything I love about British television.

Thanks dude, I’m kicked out of the Kola borehole group that means so much to me for following that suggestion.

Congratulations to the UPF people for promoting a largely made up (or at least poorly defined) thing, so that more animals can live short, tortured lives.

Still can't believe how weird it is watching a movie about birders in the USA. Everything's totally familiar, except the birds

Also, let us remember the supermarket favourite: naked katsu

From a lamppost in Caerfaddon, Lloegr, calling for some kind of abdication.

So apparently one of these is 'salt of the earth, tells it like it is, speaks to the masses' and the other is not.

One of the greatest bollard walks in history. #WorldBollardAssociation

But also, I think the UK's baffling relationship to class needs to take into account that no one “class” has more money or stability. And that the original post was by someone employed as an Events Manager* on under 50% of an MP's salary, but in Westminster. *is that a middle class job?

Here to wish a happy 25th birthday to one of my own novels! The Rotters' Club, published 22 February 2001. None of us are getting any younger ...

That feeling that I might have to spend 20 minutes “obliviously” blocking someone’s stall.

Saturday's the perfect day to hang out with your mates on a gravestone...

I did actually have things to do in the big(ish) city last weekend, but here’s the number 45 bus I went all the way to the West Midlands and caught, just to jump on a bandwagon.

This is a good article on the technology section because it's partly about automation in the kitchens. It does seem, with minimum wages rising, that this is probably something we should expect. (And, arguably it's a good thing)

People are saying if the UK bordered Mexico, we'd have better Mexican food chains, but we border France and there's no O'Tacos here.

One big problem the government has with this attack is that the playgrounds really aren't looking great nowadays, and that could take a while to fix.
