Alexandra Eala laying out in a fantastic photo from @jjlovestennis.bsky.social, Eala upset Iga Swiatek in straight sets at Wimbledon "Sometimes you just instantly know that something's the photo of the day...maybe the tournament even. I can't recall ever shooting anything similar to this."

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

However I really want to talk about their current Maritieme Vrouwen exhibition which was simply excellent

Slavery is still legal in the United States. The only requirement is incarceration.

Here’s an image of all 47 men who were present when the declaration of independence was signed. The 34 men who owned other human beings as slaves are marked with a red dot.

A bit of good news. The Thiel fashrally in Nuremberg stadium … er… sorry, Ireland has been cancelled because of a young non-binary hacker in Switzerland. :-)

This is critical. Look at how many ppl in all these countries are *actually worried* abt the climate vs how many other ppl they believe are similarly worried. Ppl need to know they’re not isolated on this issue.

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

The fact that this article from Associated Press in NPR doesn't mention that the original Lefebvrist tendency has had consistent decades long links to nazis and spreading antisemitic ideology really underplays what's gone on here.

one of the big shifts of Vatican II - and one of the few unambiguously good things John Paul II did IMO - was a massive push to begin repairing uhhhhhhhhh MANY CENTURIES of damage in the church's relationship with Jewish communities. SSPX being schism levels of mad about that really says it all!

Where is the outrage from those that think it’s the Welfare bill that’s the problem or those who want to spend more on war and think we have to cut something else to pay for it? Note: Palantir is just one of many corporations doing this

If you’re an organisational account posting about celebrating Disability Pride month, please use alt text on images and camel case on hashtags. It really rings very hollow if you don’t.

Every even semi-critical book and article makes it abundantly clear that the only real thought these losers had for government was "well we will simply manage it competently, all will be well, and the markets will shower rewards, growth growth growth, and taxes on us" Flawless strategy, really.

Cover reveal! I am very proud to say that my novel Parch Marks will be published by @goldsf.bsky.social in September this year.

What am I doing to 'celebrate' 250 years of the USA? I'm reading a history of native enslavement. To be fair though, I'm about ¾ through and so far it's all about Spanish colonies before America existed. www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Any journalists feel like doing an FOI request on how much the Home Office is spending on maritime reconnaissance aircraft?

Why is a Canadian-registered DHC-8 (C-GFMX) being operated by the UK Home Office for 'maritime surveillance' and why is it buzzing around Portsmouth today?

What am I doing to 'celebrate' 250 years of the USA? I'm reading about the time the President came to stay in Britain

What am I doing to "celebrate" 250 years of the USA? I'm going down the antiques centre for a nice cup of tea...

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Israel holds thousands of Palestinian hostages, including children. The Israeli regime starves them, beats them, tortures them, sexually abuses them, deprives them of medical treatment & murders them. But the UK mainstream media rarely (if ever) talks about these hostages.

Given trans people are less than 1% of the population, getting it wrong 4% of the time means you are 4x as likely to misgender a cis woman than spot someone is trans. This is without accounting for the effects of hormones, surgery etc. Absolute madness from the EHRC chair. A "human rights" body.

I am in such a shit mood at the moment and I just bought a tiny bag of liquorice allsorts to cheer myself up only it's 75% the plain liquorice ones and now I'm even grumpier

Just Stop Oil had a point

IT'S SCHISM!

I have T shirts older than Catalonia giving up on independence

#OnThisDay in 1925, Patrice Lumumba was born. Born under Belgian colonial rule, Lumumba became one of the leading figures of the Congolese independence movement and the first Prime Minister of an independent Congo. For him, independence meant more than the end of colonial rule.

Spent years building up a big following on Twitter, essential for publicising my aviation blog, which I live from. Desperate to leave it & publicise on nicer platforms, but I have too few follows. If you want to help me escape, do give this a share. Much obliged. My blog here: hushkit.substack.com

You can’t own anything physical anymore, everything is digital, you can’t own anything digital now, storage is too expensive, you cant stream anything because they took it off the service once their parent company got bought out, you can’t get a McFlurry because the machine is broken

Since we're talking Teddy Roosevelt, here is my favourite quote: "The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages, though it is apt to be also the most terrible and inhuman."

This is what it looks like to take wildlife collisions seriously. There are >40 wildlife overpasses and underpasses with fencing along the Trans-Canada Highway near Banff, Alberta. They’ve reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by 80%, saving human & animal lives while promoting connected ecosystems.

The schism will not give your mouth sex appeal The schism will not get rid of the nubs The schism will not make you look five pounds thinner, because The schism will not be live-posted

good morning, Team Schism! if you enjoyed this thread, might you also enjoy supporting democracy by making me read JD Vance’s shit-ass book and joining me for a Zoom where I scream about it? $75 live hang with Q&A www.32auctions.com/organization... $25 recording www.32auctions.com/organization...

You cannot hope to bribe or twist / thank God! / the British journalist. / But, seeing what / the man will do / unbribed, there's no occasion to.

Attention @bcdreyer.social, has anyone yet asked you about the correct pronunciation/s of 'schism'? Apologies if so, I did look. I'm very keen to hear your... ahem... pronouncement on it
