New stained glass window for Westminster Abbey

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

You think it’s big news for certain Shropshire town until you read the subdeck.

@mrjohnbowman.bsky.social is this you?

@secondmentions.bsky.social “the short-fingered vulgarian” is some top-tier work by Mark Hamill.

ICE is a bad acronym for an organisation as it’s already a common word. Why not Service for Tracking And Scrutinising Immigrants (STASI for short).

@williamhanson.bsky.social verdict please?

It’s got TWO folds so it’s a BIFOLD. #PickAHillToDieOn

If you’re in the mood to detain global wrong ‘uns, people with an ICC warrant out for their arrest include Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Programmers, how hard is it to match up the text with the result? Isn’t it like one line of code?

Will this be worth watching @mrjohnbowman.bsky.social ?

Magician horrifies crowd with this one weird trick

Irony: People saying the BBC is biased towards the left when a big part of why they’ve all been radicalised to vote Tory and Reform is BECAUSE of (yes you guessed it) the BBC’s right wing bias. Couldn’t make it up. Thicker than a submarine door.

Whoever wrote this, you are a visionary.

“reader interest in stories they’re never told is low” See that’s the difference between influencing and journalism Following the trend/bringing the story to attention

Where in Denbighshire were push-buttons invented? Prestatyn.

Guess where this is from

@chess.com can you see what’s wrong with this picture?

@chess.com Why does this sort of thing keep happening?

A British newspaper (The Mirror) reacts to Trump’s speech.

This got a lot less confusing once I realised it was two separate products.

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

Just had the craziest idea. Try this on for size: any country which wishes to reduce the quantity of compulsory daily mass-shootings could make private ownership of firearms illegal. The UK did it after that Michael Ryan dude. I bet it would work elsewhere, too.

In case anyone’s wondering how Mr #Trump is regarded in Britain.

“How do you want to look on this album cover?” “Like a werewolf that’s trod in shit.” “Got it.”

It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.

I’ve never read such pure poetry

Keir Starmer: you are actually the leader of the Labour Party, so stop letting your every utterance and decision to be influenced by what Reform voters think. I don't give a fuck what Reform voters think. Deliver Labour policies, you fanny.

Dystopian future writers, who predicted that one main use of AI would be making fatuous remarks under Facebook posts? None of you. For shame.

Capitulated to rebels = listened to concerns

Love this

This is a shit version of the dystopian future I was promised.

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

The people opposite are always showing off by opening and closing their curtains. Swish bastards.

Getting the proletariat to facilitate and celebrate the destruction of their own great institutions, like the NHS and BBC, is a masterful piece of manipulation on the part of the bourgeoisie and their media and political puppets. Well played, fascist pig billionaires.

omg see the glass half full. If you’re teaching a class on fascism these days you can just tell students to watch the news.

@georgetakei.bsky.social This makes it sound like you’ve died. Is there another way of phrasing it?

Yes well done, Wordle Connections setter, you got me good.
