Hell is empty and all the idiots are on Vinted

Have you noticed the weather is changing at last? It’s almost as though an icy wind is blowing across the country. Only Connect returns, tonight at 8 pm on BBC Two.

Buy. Break. Replace. Repeat. Across Europe, products are made to fail - and we’re the ones paying for it. EU leaders are deciding now whether to fix this. Sign to demand products that last! action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-05...

I can't hellp thinking the French government have loaned us the Bayeux Tapestry to remind us that England beat some Vikings before then lost to the French shortly after because they were tired. #WorldCup26

Wish I’d gone to bed now

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... This 👆 I’ve read about carbon capture before. It’s a con. It just kicks the problem down the road - for our children and grandchildren. ( Do you want that? I don’t)

Dear England please put a few goals away so I can go to bed. Thanks

The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Very excited to have cinnabar moth caterpillar chomping on the ragwort #wildflower #wildlife

I don't think I've ever seen a group of people take a joke quite as badly to heart as this lot have this week

Out shopping for barbecue ingredients this morning, in advance of the big match? Which team will triumph? Who will sally forth towards ultimate championship? That’s right: Only Connect returns on Monday night 8pm on BBC Two

Introduce legislation to make it possible to renumerate emergency volunteers Government needs to recognise the essential role volunteers play in the emergency service sector by introducing legislation allowing organisations to remunerate emergency volunteers whilst preserving its volunteer status.

@imcmillan.bsky.social Good morning. Bit of a sad one, my dog passed away recently and I wrote this. Wondered if you and everyone else might like it.

Have switched off ai on phone and iPad. We need to start rejecting it or it will reject us. #reject #ai

Anyone voting for Frogface now is going to look a bit daft

'Vote Binface to beat Frogface' may not have been the discourse Farage wanted.

Farage is going to look absolutely ridiculous when the election debate just includes him, a fox, The Monster Raving Loony Party and Count Binface. It’s just what he deserves but Clacton deserves better. He’s making himself and his constituency a laughing stock. #Farage

Follow me and the first thing I see is that you trade in hours of AI video and ambience and it's a block. Not to my door. Generative AI is a planet-killing theft engine hollow of lived experience. The bubble will burst, but that's not why we oppose it, we refuse AI because it's morally bankrupt.

Breaking News: FIFA have confirmed Folarin Balogun will be allowed to stand in the Clacton by-election.

It's not a press conference if there's no press, it's an announcement.

Evergreen photo from February 2017 👇 #Farridge #NigelFarage

“I am resigning as MP for Clacton and will stand in the by-election there if someone can tell me where it is.”

You win an MP who doesn't hold in-person surgeries like other MPs You win an MP who received a £5m gift without declaring it You win an MP who earns more per hour from a gold company than the average disposable annual income in Clacton Good luck with your choices Clacton 👍

Am not staying up for football because I will fall asleep anyway. Husband still not sure but he’s got less ability than me to stay awake but to miss it 😢 oh and I don’t even like football

You don’t understand. The FIFA Peace Prize comes with a voucher allowing the bearer to do 1 corruption.

Meanwhile, THE ENTIRE SKELFS SERIES SO FAR is available on ebook for 99p in total, with only TWO DAYS left on this offer. This amounts to seven years of work and almost half a million words, all for under a quid: geni.us/A8wWTa @orendabooks.bsky.social

This deal was supposed to end yesterday but I've just checked and it's still 99p today, so get on it quick while the matrix is glitched!

Instead of asking for people to not use their AC in the heatwave, how about turning off the data centers instead?

You know this heatwave? Get used to it This is how it is now because generations before us wouldn’t heed warnings about climate change Oh, and those data centers they want to build are are building? Yeah, that’s going to make this much much worse.

It’s HOT! Don’t forget to unplug your local Data center to stay cool.

I urge you to see this

Hey everyone, can I ask a favour. ❤️ Please go and have a look at my little bird shop here; www.carlbovis.com/shop-3 🙏 It's been very quiet for a while... 🐦 No obligation to buy anything of course, but you may just see something you'd like. 😊🐦❤️

Have you been to a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing yet? Find one near you: www.nebriefing.org/screening-map Or maybe consider hosting one in your community or workplace with our guidance: www.nebriefing.org/host-the-film #NationalEmergencyBriefing #PEBuk #climatecrisis

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Communities are watching the People’s Emergency Briefing and discussing what to do next with neighbours and MPs #EarthDay Screenings www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

Seriously this needs to be seen. Host a screening/get the conversation going. #climatehope

Spent years building up a big following on Twitter, essential for publicising my aviation blog, which I live from. Desperate to leave it & publicise on nicer platforms, but I have too few follows. If you want to help me escape, do give this a share. Much obliged. My blog here: hushkit.substack.com

Popular stories in today’s news. ‘I lived on dirt every day so I could retire at 40.’

We’ve had a hydration break by mistake…

In 2008 I met a climate scientist from Mali who was advocating for this so long that he looked exhausted. Absolutely amazing man. He was working so hard on this. And then I see numbers like this and my heart just soars. Youba Sokona, you (and your peers) really did it. www.ipcc.ch/people/youba...

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, have a good look at the world around you, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important ❤️

Tried peeking through the blinds... #doctorwho #heatwave

I have to say, it's making me feel a little insane hearing commentators say Ed Miliband shouldn't be chancellor because of his "ideological zeal" for Net Zero, in a week where temperatures are so extreme that my kids are being sent home early every day and it's regularly 30 degrees inside my house

Almost perfect antidote to heat is to read the Ruth Galloway mysteries by Elly Griffiths set in a (mostly) chilly and windswept Norfolk. Mostly rereading but some bought to fill the gaps.

The people who were kids in 1976 and think it was all sunshine and lollipops also think they survived WW2.
