I don’t use Ravelry much these days and I know it has had its problems but I will be forever thankful to everyone who adds to the pattern database as I have just tracked down the pattern for a Loose Ends project that is 15 years old. Delighted I will be able to quickly finish this now #knitting 🧶

REVEALED: The Blackburn files, from secret contracts to legal threats from a major agent sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/revealed-t...

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

Buried in here are the words safe legal routes and if they actually do that for everyone, great. But the rest of it is cuntish behaviour. Take people’s jewellery, cars (famously those on small boats are towing cars behind them.)?Labour can get in the sea with this shit.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

When Tommy Robinson is celebrating your policies it is time to take a long hard look in the mirror and then quit politics forever.

New @americanfric.bsky.social mug arrived and my question is how many Podmasters mugs are too many? @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social @bunkerpod.bsky.social @originstorypodcast.bsky.social @papercutsshow.bsky.social (still much missed).

Mud and puddles - welcome to #parkrun in November. Must be mad.

I would love to talk to my gran again but this isn’t that. This is AI slop masquerading as your loved one. This is a terrible timeline and tech bros can fuck all the way off. JFC.

Bluesky #knitters yarn help please 🙏🏻 can anyone give any help as to the identity of this yarn? DK maybe? Thanks #knit #knitting

Now I can get back to work! Thanks to the clue providers on the hashtag, I definitely would have gone insane otherwise. 🤣 #HiddenBooksGame @nationalbooktokens.bsky.social

Now at the point where I shout at the screen when I get another one because how can I have not got it sooner? Three to go #HiddenBooksGame @nationalbooktokens.bsky.social

Four to go - three lots of books and the woman’s hair. #HiddenBooksGame

8 to go in #HiddenBooksGame (although I still can’t find one clue.) I need the girl, her bun, the mug, the star, 3 of the book clues and whatever the last one that I can’t find is. I can try and provide clues for all others.

I have 8 so far, I can’t find one clue and I can’t remember the name of any book ever. It’s going really well. #HiddenBooksGame

We spent so much time here when my girls were little, they still remember some of the exhibits. It is such an important place.

This week: one weird trick to combat bias at the BBC! (Clue: it's can Robbie Gibb.)

Join the dots www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Scheduled my work around this so I can scream at the laptop screen and mutter, “Bees?” under my breath until my partner becomes concerned. And then have the enormous satisfaction of completing it over lunch. #HiddenBooksGame

As someone who doesn’t always enjoy an international football weekend, I have fallen back in love with the England team after seeing Dear England tonight. Such a great performance

Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down. What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide... 🔥🧵

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

How many trans people have the BBC had on this week discussing the BBC's pro-trans bias? Zero.

Wtaf?

I fear we are seeing in the UK what has become abundantly clear in the US: for all their power and privilege, elites and institutions are absolute cowards in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Weak, weak, weak, as Tony Blair once said

Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.

Very important to note that benefits weren’t stopped because of evidence of fraud, but because HMRC thought it saw something that *might have been* evidence of fraud. They didn’t check. They just stopped paying. Absolute contempt for their victims. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Little wander through the tunnel across the river to collect my very first project for @looseendsproject.bsky.social

Another Sunday of baking and @quietriotpod.bsky.social keeping me company as I do so. Christmas pudding is now steaming for a few hours.

I don’t know what has changed in the last month but I took another 30 something seconds off my time this week at #parkrun and now I am only one minute off my all-time PB.

On this day in 1988, Green was released as the band's first album with Warner Bros.

I cannot stop thinking of how good that celeb traitors final was last night and how sceptical I was of the entire idea of getting celebs on that I nearly didn’t bother watching it. At a time when BBC news makes me annoyed regularly, I will give all my licence fee for more Claudia and Traitors.

Who is this cunt? If he thinks women have ruined the workplace, I suggest he walls himself into his bedroom and never fucking leaves so he never has to annoy a woman with his presence again. Dear god.

Oh, they can all fuck off with this. This racist, ableist piece of shit wrote a terrible book and then cried bullying when she was called out on her own words. And the people that went to bat for her can also fuck off.

Wtaf? One of the most corrupt organisations sucking up to the most corrupt president. What a fucking joke.

Utterly fascinating new series from Annie & Megan Kelly (not that one), worth the Cursed Media sub on its own. I do wonder what trad wives will do when their cute new babies are rebellious teens in years to come and peri meno is kicking their butt.

Under 37 minutes at #parkrun for the first time since 2020, the second fastest parkrun I have ever run.

For 4 weeks I have been sure Cat would fly under the radar and walk away with this. But now, I can only see the faithfuls winning #CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors

Miliband’s clean energy plan offers real hope and must not be watered down Some encouraging news in an area which is vital to both the economy and the environment, particularly to a region like the North East northeastbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

Robinson, Musk and Badenoch are all part of an industry of grievance, a machine designed to spread hate which now operates across the British right – from respectable print outlets to wild-eyed online fascists inews.co.uk/opinion/dont...

Somebody at HMRC needs to be canned for this idiotic ‘fraud-detection’ idea. And I fear future use of AI in welfare cases might well produce this kind of story regularly (as they have in Nevada for example).
