Love Reddit posters. Really, really dislike these Americans.

Have a cat. Or two.

of Sir Keir’s rise to power, his advisers regard him with thinly disguised contempt. “Keir’s not driving the train. He thinks he’s driving the train, but we’ve sat him at the front of the DLR,”

The N7 this morning 🤦‍♀️ I gave up, turned around and will WFH today. Hey Irish government and department of transport, please, please sort this arterial route out, starting with driver education. In other news, this is unbelievable 👇😳

It’s a problem when a left-wing government can worsen trans lives and its supporters shrug because it doesn’t affect them. For many trans people, life was easier under Cameron or May.

I was recently on a train opposite a man and he started a call on his phone, just at about the same time as I got one. Much to my surprise he started telling one of my anecdotes. So I started telling my anecdote to my friend. One by one, sentence by sentence, we repeated the story about eating…

1903: Don't build a fire station! It will arouse desire for a library.

Americans I know keep telling me the UK is 'a shit hole' and 'has fallen'. Meanwhile masked thugs with guns execute random Americans on the streets. From this distance, the UK looks amazing, with very low gun crime, free healthcare and zero school shootings. Whereas the US... well... not so good.

Hi Bob!

What I enjoy most about @paramountnewsbr.bsky.social’s Landman is that it’s pure competence porn. Capable people, quietly doing their jobs properly, minimal melodrama, and the occasional flicker of job satisfaction.

As part of the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland’s police force (The RUC) was abolished and a new one, the Police Service of Northern Ireland was established under a radically new model of policing, recruitment training & oversight. They disbanded the Police to try to achieve policing.

Just remembered this classic yet again (stick with it til the chorus, trust me) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwNG...

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Actually Hugo. It was Napoleon, not Sun Tzu.

I don't disagree, but 'the East End in the 1980s and 1990s' created social policy problems that we still live with today, and 'the transformation of the East End' had a much better underlying rationale and cause than 'uh, we need £160mn to make the OBR light go green'.

Thread. Lots of Labour apologists angry that people like me are pissed at the budget. Here’s why:

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

In fact, fuck it. Building on what Jess says. Do you cis fuckers have any fucking ideas how much grief we carry? How every trans person has multiple dead friends? How death is just a thing we live with? How everywhere we gather has to have an explicit policy on expressing suicidal ideation?

Ahead of the Budget there is quite a bit of misinformation So - as a primer - here is the truth about the UK economy in 2025 www.ft.com/content/99d2...

Halloween. So I listen to Zombie. I always cry for the childhood I had forced on me, and for the hope Mo Mowlam gave me. And I mourn how I’ll probably never feel hope like that again.

"To figure out where you fall on this spectrum after you’ve stabbed somebody, ask yourself: Do you feel energized because you have engaged in a social interaction with somebody? Or do you feel satisfied because you’re alone now that the person is dead?"

When cats are confused by or upset about something, they just smack the shit out of whatever it is that's frustrating them and I think that's beautiful.

Fuck the FIA and everyone who got away with doing the same thing he did. Racist ass sport.

It's time to bring back the traditional Irish rural pursuit of burning down the houses of landlords. According to this, it'll be fine as we're only indulging in what our ancestors did.

Something I think about a lot: One of the reasons people used to think boys “outgrew” ADHD is because in adulthood men tend to offload their executive function (managing calendars, remembering birthdays, cleaning, grocery shopping) to wives and secretaries so it masked their symptoms.
