"No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices." Edward R. Murrow, who died on this day in 1965

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Happy Day!

Whilst we all know Trump, is a dangerous, mentality ill catastrophe, the memes that this latest Jesus/Dr hideousness have generated are providing some light relief!

This is exactly the level of stupidity we need to get Reform into power.

In swedish news: "And many Hungarians went to the polls. By early evening, voter turnout had broken all records with 77.8 %" SEE!!! It works if people ACTUALLY shows up to vote! VOTE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES!

In this world going to shite it’s the moments of joy that matter. A bit like a trip up the fabled Lakey Hill, every year my partner and I go and sit in a bluebell wood, make a cocktail, complete with ice in the cocktail shaker, and sit quietly enjoying spring wonder unfolding before us. #TheArchers

Rare image of a stork delivering a baby!

now the #Artemis crew enter a new stage of their lives, where from now on people will sing The Waterboys at them

Can we please agree that people who never actually look at pictures in galleries and just take photos are actually complete dicks!

Weirdly I find spring and Easter a better time than new year to reflect on the year past and set intentions going forward. I am increasingly grateful to be so happy and settled in my soul these days; enjoying my #peace and the #simolethings ; letting go, and letting things just be what they are.

Is it no wonder that in this surrealistic time that cartoonists are nailing it better than anyone!!!

Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

What the actual …. ? Why is the King visiting that bag of shite war criminal on a state visit? Just when you think nothing makes sense anymore, it gets more incomprehensible. #worldgonemad

I don’t understand why Miranda can’t live there on her own and why she’s equating living together as commitment. Many couples in ‘later life relationships’, myself included, are committed to each other and happy together, yet stay living in their own seperate houses. #TheArchers

10 years of cost, red tape, business closures, lost opportunities, emboldened prejudice, national insecurity and social division. A total waste of our time, resources and patience. But refusing to face up to that has been the most dismal part. Political cowardice and dishonesty on an epic scale.

So bloke driving towards me is kinda on the wrong side of the road, I stop and wait for him to sort himself out. It doesn’t bother me, I wait patiently etc. As he passes by he shouts ‘cheer up’ at me. Now I bloody hate him! #FFS

#spring Yay, my new plants have just arrived. So excited to get them in the ground, but annoyingly it’ll have to wait a few days as I have to go to work tomorrow.

I’m rewatching Poldark, remembering why I enjoyed it so much the first time. Really can’t get too much of the sweeping Cornish views. But, my word, it shines a light on how utterly rubbish the Netflix originals shite I usually watch is. Thank you #BBC for proper good telly x

None of this would be happening right now if Trump had gone to prison for January 6th like he should have

I’ve brought daffs in for my desk. Bc they are so cheerful and lovely.

Also sending my love to everyone who might find today difficult because they no longer have a Mum or haven't had the chance to become one yet xx

If we can’t see the hypocrisy of claiming to be “pro life,” while also being pro assault rifles, pro war, pro death penalty, pro cutting healthcare, pro cutting food assistance, pro science denialism, and pro rolling back environmental protections now, I don’t think we ever will.

It's a slight exaggeration. But, Churchill was certainly one of the architects of ECHR.

Laundry drying on the line in the sun! Yayyayayayayya #springiscoming

Brian is bang out of line. It seems out of character for lovely Jakob to go along with all of Brian’s nonsensical, speculative rubbish…. Surely it’s much more his style to ask a direct question to get a direct answer? #TheArchers

What is Brian playing at? Or is this an arrogant god complex, and he genuinely believe he is omniscient? #TheArchers

"When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus."

I’ve made Cornish pasties for supper. And I don’t even live in Cornwall! Get me!

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

Does Margot Robbie wear red dresses so frequently in #wutheringheights as a tribute to Kate Bush? I don’t remember it being mentioned in the book; but there very little if the film matches the book! 😂

Amazing isn’t it…. There’s always money for destruction, conflict and #war, but sadly, rarely for the betterment of life and society and culture. 😕

come on keir starmer, pass legislation to stop overseas political donations, nationalise the water companies, and cap the price of mini eggs

Keep Farage as far away from power as possible! #NeverVoteReform

Silence and stepping back is such an underrated power move. Took me far too long to learn sadly.

Ooohhhh 360 feedback on your boss…. That’s a weird one isn’t it.

I love my ‘boring’ life. Can’t wait for spring, so I can be ‘boring’ in the garden too.

I would happily pay more council tax if my council replied to imbeciles in this way.

Have been away and had a fab, warm and sunny time time, but to soften the blow of being back in grey old wet home, I’ve got lots of episodes of #theArchers to catch up on. I hope it’s been a good week.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

BREAKING: Prime Minister Keir Starmer responds to Reform UK’s “shocking” plan to scrap the Equality Act

@academicarchers.bsky.social I’m about to buy a ticket to come along this year (for the first time), but will be on my own. I am hoping that’s not uncommon, and it will be easy to find people to socialise with over supper etc. who else is going? #TheArchers

That was weird… Brian was weird! #TheArchers

Grown kids are ace, okay a bit annoying at times, but basically ace! 💓💓💓💓
