This is incredible!

IT Support to Major Tom You're Outlook's dead, there's something wrong Can you ping me, Major Tom? Can you ping me, Major Tom?

Sorry but this cartoon in the current @forteantimes.bsky.social by Martin Ross did crack me up

This is a heartbreaking read, but it is the reality of Brexit, and the damage caused to the UK by the so-called patriots of RefUK.

This short thread shows US global influence is dying fast. This is what happens when you tell the world the old world order is dead and don’t build a new one.

The American Dream, living in tents so billionaires can be trillionaires.

The truth! 😆👏

Imagine if a country announced it was introducing the death penalty, but only for Jews. Imagine the global outcry. But apparently it's fine to introduce the death penalty only for Palestinians...

First Spain, now Italy and France.

What a beauty!

Over 2 hours since I listened to Kemi Badenoch on Broadcasting House, and I've still not got over what a terrible person she is. Like Farage, she's abrasive, arrogant, rude, humourless and stupid all at once. Younger me would have dismissed it as poshness, but I've met decent posh folks since then.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

This looks interesting. Might have to give Sot80s a miss tonight.

Protect and saviour of women strikes again

Everyone's favourite polka dot noseybonks

I have added this ‘flattened terrace’, this activated Vincent, this Henry viii with the monkey and the mask, and of course Milky the Dog to my website (original art), in various logical subsections. Please think about supporting artist such as me . #supportartists www.chloecumming.com/paintings

Activists have been putting up these signs around the Fairford Airbase from which the US is bombing Iran. Lets not let their activism go to waste.

Had very yummy dinner at @cafepalestina tonight. May play a concert again in their events room in the late spring, fingers crossed. More on this anon. Couldn't resist taking a few pictures of the ceramic and assorted stuff. #cafepalestina #kentishtown #neighbourhood

It literally says that they racially profiled people and the article still asks if they’re abusing their power

The groovy green 70s style clock my beloved bought me for the kitchen last year is a pants timekeeper so has been retired in favour of this absolute gem from @hiddenbritain.bsky.social. The second hand has a lovely smooth sweep!

Re-posting this because it reminded me how much I loved the classified ads section of the Melody Maker bitd. “Jazz-funk outfit need bass player and drummer.” “Psych guitarist and singer, need bassist and drummer.” (You’re not a band until you’ve got a drummer.) Lots of synths & amps for sale too.

People will never be free until the essentials, Healthcare, Housing, Energy... are in the hands of people and free from profiting billionaires who constantly keep increasing their 'cost' to make more profit.

A sign that Shaun Keaveny is settling into Liza Tarbuck's slot* is playing Jake Thackray, and then describing him as "occasionally bawdy". (*Fnaaar)

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, T-shirts and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Get arrested for trafficking them and go to prison where you can't use X.

I want to some of your favourite final shots in film history

I can make the very high noises and reenact the fight. Just Vic and Bob but brollies instead of frying pans.

The best ones here are stuff like Robert Plant popping round to see someone's laminate flooring, and Grace Jones giving someone a 12-pack of Fosters. Love mundanity.

It's Mother's Day on Sunday so of course Germy Whine is doing a piece on his radio show about people missing their fathers. 🙄

Morrissey is such a mad old ham. I love it. He’s like a Victorian- on those posts he does he always sounds like a consumptive aunt in 1896 writing back from travels ‘they presented me with an entirely indigestible mess of stewed aubergine and a wine so rough as to be vinegar….the train was vile’ etc

This Sunday is Mothering Sunday! If your mother's no longer around it can be hard. I will as usual be reading out the names of our Remembered Mums/Mams/Moms from halfway up this beauty - the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. If you'd like me to read out your Mum's name, PLEASE reply with #Mums26 ❤️ 👑

The grey heron who usually sits in a tree over the weir on the bend in the river at the top of our road has been replaced by an egret. I wonder if this is the sort of showbiz upgrade that goes with getting a Michelin star venue the other side of the village.

What are you if you ask where is the £6 going that was left over? 🤔 Instinctively I'm a £5 each guy. A fascinating exercise

When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.

The transphobic "protecting women" lot always show their arses. I hope Hannah is okay.

I love Pick of the Pops when they have older years on but I'm still feeling peculiar that somehow I know every single word to Convoy. Does that mean it's like The Fresh Prince of Bel Air but for oldiewonks?

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone! The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

Castlerigg - wow, what a site! A few times I’ve been lucky enough to have the stones all (or almost all) to myself, following a downpour. #StandingStoneSunday

We've noticed a significant uptick in corpse outlines at places believed to haunted. It's hard to tell if these ghost-markers are warning or warding. They often seem to memorialise the dead as appeasement. – Sophie Morley of Woden College's Graffiti Research and Formalisation Team (GRAFT), 1981

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

This! 👏

Israel is demanding that everyone leave South Beirut, so they can level it like they did to Gaza. Beirut is 536km from Israel. Israel should not be there.

I have personally seen the applications of many Afghani students to our gender studies programme: people who have started grassroots LGBT orgs; who have fought for women's education; who want to come to the UK to study to make their country & the world better... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Wouldn't you LOVE to have me on your podcast/radio show/other modern communications thingy? Tales of the Suburbs is out next week, and it would be smashing to get word out as far as possible over the next few months via the medium of chat. Slide into my DMs or www.johngrindrod.co.uk/contact x

Apologies to @zoejardiniere.bsky.social for crossposting her tweets from the nasty place, but I felt this deserves airtime on bluesky because of how emphatically they prove the nasty, immoral, opportunistic politics of Reform.

Did anyone else have @vizcomic.bsky.social as the most prescient political commentators of the day on their 2026 bingo card?
