"Mirror journalist asks why violence committed by white men never seems to matter" www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

I just—like, sure, being a trillionaire is cool I guess but what’s it all for if you haven’t even seen the wreckage of the titanic firsthand

@secondmentions.com THE AUTHORITARIAN PETROSTATE!

I’ve never agreed with anything more in my life. But we are where we are.

Our Eurovision entry this year is called Who The Fuck Is This with a song titled Total Global Humiliation

I wish the Prime Minister and/or his PR people would learn to write in whole sentences instead of fragments.

“Dark matter must exist because if it didn’t then the maths would be even harder”

@secondmentions.bsky.social @mrjohnbowman.bsky.social oh my god Daleks are “the wheeled exterminators” in today’s Mirror.

There is a cult of ignorance... nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' — Isaac Asimov, Newsweek

You mean a country’s government can continue to exist without one particular 86-year-old man?

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
