Always my answer forever (besides protests spread joy):

I’m a reasonably successful person. I have great friends, I am so close to my adult children. I am married to my best friend. I get to do cool things. I love my job. Making these choices is a big part of my happiness.

British.

Fingers crossed for my boy while he's not well. More tests etc to work out what's going on before deciding if there's anything that can be done. On the plus side, I'm single handedly paying for the vet's fancy yacht so that's nice

I had no idea this was a thing. Quite the thread

Tilly's been having a bad time this last couple of weeks but after two visits to the V.E.T. he's patched up for now and sporting a very fetching onesie to stop him aggravating the sore on his belly. Happy #Caturday everyone

My daughter's wedding went brilliantly in London. Family in Scotland and Ireland had some "excitement" trying to get there through stormy weather. Great to catch up with everyone too

Took an uber through london and the driver started to say you wouldn't recognise london now compared to 30 years ago. He went on to say how clean it is now compared to then and how great traffic restrictions, electric vehicles and lower speed limits are in terms of clean air & lives saved. Good man!

Oh fuck off with your crappy weather. Daughter gets married this weekend and family are travelling from Scotland and Ireland (or not as it happens)

My mother knew Michelle Mone at the start of her career and hated her. She'd be very happy with today's judgement.

Mon along for an evening with Graham Spiers and myself talking all things politics, comedy, and football. Audience Q&A for any burning questions or heckles. ▶️ Eastwood Theatre in Glasgow ▶️ Saturday 18th October ▶️ 7.30pm 🎟️👇: Get Tickets Here www.ercultureandleisure.org/events/an-ev...

Dear Keir Starmer, I do not require any "patriotic national renewal". This whole flag shagging debacle makes me very uncomfortable and makes me feel more and more Scottish rather than British. (and your British ID cards can fuck right off too)

Daughter bought all sorts of comfy stuff for her boy and this is what he's picked. Happy #Caturday everybody

In principle, I’m not actually automatically opposed to ID cards. However, from how the present UK government is going about this and related matters, it’s a straightforward nope, not on your life. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

One of my girls gets married very soon and I don't want to wear sandals. Bought these instead (not sure I can walk in them but that's just details)

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

In case you want to know about Trump's speech to the UN but can't bear to actually listen to him, this thread is excellent

Home from cat sitting for younger daughter's kitten to discover my own boy had decided to get his own dinner

Baby sitting again

Secretly rather pleased with my new 70s prog rocker hairdo!

Donald Trump got Jimmy Kimmel fired from ABC because his jokes made Trump sad. Now that comedy is illegal again, we’re doing a roast of Trump and ABC at their HQ. Thank you for your attention to this matter! comedyisillegal.eventbrite.com

I see Jimmy Kimmel has been cancelled. Free speech only allowed one way

Sorry to hear Robert Redford's gone. A good man and they seem to be in short supply these days.

America must be stopped.

Elon Musk needs to fuck right off and take all the other right wing fascist nut jobs with him

I am so tired of angry young white men. I do not want to listen to them. I do not want to hear about them. I do not want to be told that if they break the whole goddamn world, it is somehow everyone else's fault for not giving them every last bit of attention and power. Enough already. Grow up.

Is it #Caturday again? Here's the little fella fighting with the cat tree

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Just so I have this right: a right wing gun nut who was known for saying gun nut things gets killed by a gun fired from another right wing gun nut, and all the other right wing nuts specifically blame the anti-gun people for this?

Aside from any political views, it's a damn shame that there are so many people spouting hate online until other people are fired up enough to see murder as the only way to solve it. And ffs America, sort out your ridiculous gun laws. You're meant to have moved on from being the wild west

My habanero chillies have done pretty well this year. If anyone knows what I can make with them please give me some tips!

Now you see, THIS is how I remember it when the video was being shot…

If I go for a drink with friends & a bunch of offensive blowhards sit at the next table & harass us I'd move table. If it persisted I might complain to the management but if nothing was done I'd go to a nicer pub. And that is why I left X. I'm here for interesting chit chat not to entertain tossers.

Gone floppy.

There seems to be no point in using AI technology if it's incapable of accuracy. Wish I could eliminate it from all searches

As it's #Caturday, I thought you might like to meet my younger daughter's new fur baby Oliver

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."
