What a stupid timeline where we can be bombed and killed in our own homes for no reason, yet are forbidden from paying public tribute to slain athletes. This is not neutrality, this is silencing the victim.

Labour are having a radical week. Not necessarily for what you think. They’ve introduced measures to stop MPs having Second jobs (or 9). They’re also introducing a restriction on donations to political parties from foreign donors. Change is coming. Expect loud noise.

Changed the centering statement above my computer at work. Somehow I think the one MAGA coworker will still be angry.

One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

TO RECAP: - The president will grant the most notorious living sex trafficker on the planet clemency, if she testifies that he’s innocent - They don’t want you to believe the thousands of women who were victims of Epstein - But they do expect you to believe ONE woman, Ghislaine Maxwell

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

@pascalr57.bsky.social - had this lined up already to close this set, honest! :o) Plus recording details, as far as I could ferret them out. @doodleslave.bsky.social - I hope you find this better! :o) A studio recording, so not so fresh/raw as a performance. @snig.bsky.social - another early one!

I wish certain English bbctms commentators would take off their solar topi before opining. "Another Nepal wicket falls - that will be the game" - BAM! four, BASH! six, WHACK! six ... "Pandemonium among the Nepal fans - BOWLED!! And that surely will be it." - BAM! four, BASH! six, WHACK! six ...
