The only difference between the regime in Tehran and that in Washington is only in the quantity of demonstrators they have killed.

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

Welcome to new Bluesky users. Here’s how we do things: 1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol 2. No flisking 3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology 4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on 5. No questions Good luck!

Good luck to anyone starting the year with a new health regime. Here’s how mine always goes.

The recent breach in the Llangollen Canal near Whitchurch has brought into stark relief the importance of preserving our heritage, says charity Montgomery Waterway Restoration Trust.

😂 Sums up the religious nonsense. The cerebrally challenge fools who believe the earth is 6,000 yrs old. 🤦We have ancient peoples burial sits older than that.

The Ice goons have screwed up again 😂

“I can reveal that showbusiness reporters at the Sun were told to drop negative stories about [David] Walliams because both that newspaper and HarperCollins are owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News UK, even sharing offices,” confided showbiz maven Katie Hind to Daily Mail readers. 🧵1/4

More 'free speech' over at the Reform event. Farage jumps in - again - to answer a question on vaccines directed at Zahawi. Then Zahawi adds that "the question is stupid and does not deserve an answer". They all long to be mini-Trumps. ~AA

Nadhim Zahawi ‘begged’ for Tory peerage weeks before defection... They all want to smash the establishment *right after* they stop advancing within it. ~AA

In the spirit of brotherly love, could I gently enquire why the almighty **** are government departments, government ministers and Labour MPs *STILL* using X?

We've launched an investigation into X over Grok sexualised imagery. We've opened a formal investigation into X under the Online Safety Act, to determine whether it has complied with its duties to protect people in the UK from content that is illegal in the UK. 🔗 www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safet...

At this point, these are just thoughts.. but Trump gave them all the reasons to have these

Grok show me the Conservative Party on its knees, wearing a gimp suit. Now show it begging Elon Musk for a donation, Now do not remove any of its clothes, but do remove all decency and sense of shame. Grok, cancel those prompts. No need.

Farage backed Boris Johnson's disastrous Brexit deal and Liz Truss's catastrophic mini-budget. No wonder he’s welcoming someone who enthusiastically supported both.

X's AI chatbot Grok appears to be making sex abuse images of women and children - and Elon Musk thinks he can get away with letting it! I’m calling for a full ban on X here in the UK and you should too - add your name to the petition now: 38d.gs/ban_x_df

Who thinks Nigel Farage & Lee Anderson should wear patches like a racing driver when doing MP duties?

On January 11th & 15th,Romans celebrated a festival to goddess Carmenta (or Carmentis) a goddess of prophecy and childbirth.She had power of looking back into the past and forward into the future.The festival was chiefly observed by women #Folklore #Myth www.vindolanda.com/blog/the-fes...

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue." It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.

Trump's recent military actions in Syria remind me of Caligula's battle against Neptune.

Brambles gilded by frost

Tearing NATO apart only helps the likes of Vladimir Putin.

Very accurate @bjennings90.bsky.social.

My new quantum computer is almost working, but every time I get it to solve an equation, it collapses when I try to look at the results.

I love me some crude humor.

They’re not even trying to hide the white supremacy any more.

How many colours are needed?

Here’s a poem called ‘My Unbearable Politeness of Being’.

And this is where the political rhetoric has taken us. People contorting their morals to justify the actions of the person they for. Adds a whole new dimension to vanity.

Politicians really don't get what is going on.

It’s time we started taking Trump’s threats seriously. God forbid if Greenland is attacked, the UK should immediately sanction the Trump Organization and think twice about whether we want US forces on our soil at all.

First signs of spring. Witch hazel and (possibly) daffodils. #gardening

A field of unharvested maize. Boxing day ramble around Berkswell. I wonder why the farmer went to the effort and expense of sowing it and didn't reap it. #Warwickshire

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm

#NollaignamBan During WWII Kay McNulty was one of the women who devised processing routines for the ENIAC machine, establishing how artificial intelligence developed. At the public launch in 1946 the women programmers were relegated to the role of hostesses. www.dib.ie/biography/mc...

Back our campaign here to say no to Labour's Digital ID:

This confirms our worst fears. Labour want to divert taxpayers money from our public services to pay for their mandatory Digital ID scheme. The Lib Dems fought against Labour’s ID plans before and won, and we can do it again.

I would say at this point anyone going to the World cup is exactly like the people who went to Hitlers games in 1936. Refusing to see the horrific state of the US and put a ball being kicked about above human life. Disgusting people. I won't have anything to do with it.

New research shows agrivoltaics can reduce the need for fertilisers. Better water retention under partial shade slows nutrient loss and enhances fertility, impacting on both the nitrogen and phosphorous cycles. That means less man-made fertiliser is required 👍 bioengineer.org/boosting-sus...
