One of the wildest posts I’ve ever read. You will at no point predict where it’s going next. www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedd...

It’s not just America though. Fucking idiot.

Hello! I’m looking to interview a trans woman on her experiences of suburbia for my next piece of writing. If you think you could help please get in touch, thank you x

Do me a favor and sign this. Its not that close to my house anymore, but very close to my heart.

A sensible government would walk into the offices of Thames water on day one and say "we stand here while you collect your things and leave. If you resist, you will go to prison and we will bring forensic accountants in, and we *will* find out what other crimes you have done."

Government bill to include acting on its commitment to a new refugee community sponsorship programme, drawing on Canada's successful model. There will be new refugee student & refugee employer sponsorship routes. These may begin small but with potential to expand. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I've written several books, and one of🫠 parts of publishing is self-promotion. @elimccann.bsky.social is publishing his first novel, so I'm going to help by asking y'all to follow him on his Amazon Author page. It really helps, especially for new authors. www.amazon.com/stores/Eli-W...

I don’t hate Lidl’s tiramisu soft serve ice creams.

Tesco is extending its Kids Eat Free scheme to 7 days a week over the summer, where children get a free meal with an adult purchase, but honestly, this detail about how small the adult purchase can be broke my heart.

“We do a Watergate twice a day” is a crazy way to confess your own corruption…

Clearly it’s working for them, but I simply do not understand what was wrong with any or all of “picnic food” “delicatessen”, “spread” or “mezze”, all well-known terms that do not evoke some kind of dermatological complaint.

We could all use some good news these days Ghana cut malaria deaths by 86%!!! And they followed science and good public health policies healthpolicy-watch.news/how-ghana-sl...

Four years ago Roe v Wade was overturned. Meanwhile, in London this week, Nigel Farage spoke at the 'Alliance for Responsible Citizenship' conference attended by well-funded anti-abortion campaigners. ARC is bankrolled by GB News owner Paul Marshall. Since 2024 GB News has paid Farage £700k.

Ham and melon and black coffee for breakfast, as the goddess intended.

I have an incredibly strong association with Bourdain. Having read and watched him growing up, then through training and working as a chef. I read the attached quote the other day and instantly welled up, which is most out of character for me. #BourdainDay

And so I leave you with this. Not written by me, but sums up some of my feelings. #BourdainDay

It’s gazpacho season ‼️

Happy #BourdainDay - a day he would have probably hated. But hope he’s having a good one, whenever he is 🤍

As we have experienced this week, extreme temperatures are no longer a future threat. They are a present danger. Today, I’m launching London’s first ever heat plan: a city-wide plan to adapt our capital, protect communities, and build a climate-resilient city.

The great @mrjohncrace.bsky.social excoriates the graceless, charmless leader of the Tory Party. Destroyed by Johnson with the coup de grace delivered by the electorate, the smoking ruins of a once great party can only come up with Kemi Badenoch... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Powerscourt estate is not connected to Powerscourt Hotel where this hideous event takes place. It has said that it will do everything it can to stop it but admits to being essentially a powerless - no pun intended - neighbour. The hotel should be boycotted. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My amazing grandma was born *100* years ago today. She once ran off with a postman but Grandad eventually convinced her to come home. The postman won a huge sum on the pools the next day. The. Next. Day. “Biggest win ever,” she’d tell me, between achingly deep drags on a B&H.

Y’all I know a lot of things are real bad right now, but here’s one of them

Ten. Ten children. Ten. That’s it.

"Buried in the appendices, the report found fewer than 10 trans youth in the entire country who had detransitioned." Never mind the thousands of kids who have over the years continued into a happy transition. It's these 10 kids that they give all the shits about.

I hear from a reliable source that a solar farm in Cornwall is currently offline because the UK's electricity grid infrastructure cannot take the extra - free - power at present. The UK is wasting an abundance of sunshine. Do better. (Same for Ireland and everywhere else.)

Just did this. They’re right. But it’s also how a ghost would stroke you. Your choice.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

HAHAHAhaha! they're making the world's biggest synthetic scum pond!!! The coating is a polyurea used inside pipes. It gels in about 3 seconds, making it non self-leveling. The texture is like an orange peel, the perfect substrate for biofilms. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... Couldn’t agree more w this review, and its final para. It’s extremely telling that the BBC, as ever, chases the middle-aged male watcher. (I make assumptions - feel free to tell me you ❤️ Dragon’s Den…)

It’s Amazon Prime Day…and did you know Bezos just invested millions into lithium mining in DR Congo (where miners are almost always trafficked)? So, if you shop on Prime today for anything non-essential, donate what you saved (at minimum) to Congolese people (& repost for awareness!)

I said the party who said this all out loud would get my vote and there we go.

GP on the BBC this morning parroting the oft-heard “stay indoors between 11 and 3 because the sun is hottest then”. The sun is *most intense* then, that’s the time of day you’re most at risk of sunburn. The hottest part of the day is usually between 4-6. Thinking you’re safer at 5 is daft.

If you want to know who Andy Burnham is, and how he operates this is the piece you need. @jenwilliamsft.bsky.social has covered him for a decade or more and it’s all here. www.ft.com/content/9949... The decade that made Andy Burnham
