What’s with the “trend” accounts complaining we are exhausting and all have terrible (and worsening) takes on #TheArchers 😂

The duck who lives here must be absolutely fucking massive.

There's the way Trump is gleefully happy to accept someone else's Nobel prize, and then there's the way Richard Feynman viewed Nobel prizes.

I think there's merit to holding by-elections when an elected MP changes parties. It's a party's platform they campaigned on. The whip system ensures they vote accordingly. When they join another party, that's another platform, another set of policies. Voters should get a new say.

Quite clever play by the traitors I think, because if their chosen victim has a shield so everyone appears at breakfast, people may just assume there was a recruitment? #TheTraitors

What on earth was Harriet thinking?!! And so rude at breakfast too. Had she just had enough? That anger seemed real to me?! #TheTraitors

I really hope George listened to what Kate had to say, and understood that it wasn’t the Freddie who came out of jail all contrite that she forgave. Rather the Freddie he has become after working very hard at making changes to himself. All in all that wasn’t as awful as I feared! #TheArchers

I need your house. It is unacceptable that you won't give it to me. It's in my neighbourhood and could be targeted by bad people. If you don't give me your house I'll take it by force. I want it for my new development and for the dosh I can make by selling off your possessions. Give me your house.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

I love Kate! Infuriating as she can be, she is the first one to ask Alice what she wants! Although, to be fair Chris probably has too, but off air! #TheArchers

Trump & Goose Stepping Republicans want to bring back heavily polluting industry activity that honest & caring people worked for decades to curb. Remember Acid Rain? Oil tar on long stretches of beaches? Air so polluted you couldn't breathe freely? Call your Senator to stop HR 4667, the SPEED Act

Empathy is emotional intelligence. I'm not surprised the biggest believers in artificial intelligence have none or little.

This whole new right project has always had the intention of being global. Please, if you haven’t already, look up Peter Thiel and his plans and actions since 2010, when he said he was going to use the internet and particularly social media to bring them about. Be prepared! Build community.

at the very least all AI content should be required to contain a visible symbol to identify it as such - better yet, provide a link to the original data/entiy used to create it. There's no reason states or the federal government could not create a law for this

Akram doesn’t need the money. He doesn’t want to grow a few tomatoes. He wants to be working on a farm. He loves the organic ideals and methods at Bridge Farm, and he gets on well with the Archers, who need help at the moment. Sometimes life just puts things in one’s path. #TheArchers

The number of training days for ICE officers is set to 47 to please the president? With all due respect, that's North Korea territory.

I love how the Maliks are gently taking apart so many people’s stereotypes and assumptions. I can imagine Tom and Helen persuading themselves they’d be doing Akram such a favour! He was so kind at her embarrassment too! Tbf, he does love BF. But I think he sees himself more as an owner! #TheArchers

Chris went up in my estimation. He and Alice between them are really helping George. No mollycoddling, just understanding and forgiveness from Alice and some genuine love from Chris. Along with Emma and Ed deciding no more indulging the bad behaviour, is there hope?! #TheArchers

Apparently it's only repartée if it comes from the repartée region of France otherwise it's just sparkling wit.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Trump is insuring his legacy is not about legislative victories for Americans, it’s a legacy of an imperialist dictator.

Let me get this straight in my head. Trump would have us believe that his morality is of a higher standard than the rule of International Law?

I actually hope it was Markie’s gang. I’m enjoying everyone thinking it was their loved one and panicking! But I don’t think anyone in Ambridge is the type to sneak up on George and bash him on the head that way. For me, that would be more unrealistic. Except, maybe, if it was Harrison. #TheArchers

Will has absolutely no intention in trying to help George either sort himself out, or make things better with his family and community does he! He is just going to roll around in his slimy pit of self righteousness, resentment and self pity for ever, dragging his son down with him. Ugh. #TheArchers

I think there’s women of a certain age all round the country currently screaming that Fiona does not … I mean NOT!… represent us!! 😂😂😂 #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK

Oh well done Emma, at last you and Ed appear to have grasped some of what’s at the root of George’s problem and indeed that of your whole family. In a lot of ways, just putting Keira first for a bit will help. I really hope Will doesn’t nix it! #TheArchers

Evergreen bleet! #TheArchers

To have a reactive response to this is a huge error. There shd be boots & ships on the ground in Greenland already. If he wants to declare war, make him do it overtly. Make it cost American lives, sell THAT to your public, Trump. If he gets troops there before it's defended, it's game over.

The bison herd in Yellowstone National Park was cobbled together in 1902 from multiple herds in Texas and Montana. Now, after decades of careful management, Yellowstone’s bison have finally become their own single, genetically healthy interbreeding population.

The thing Musk doesn't get is that we progressives don't care whether his bots oppose or support our views. They're all manufactured opinion(-making), they all get blocked. Because ... truth. Only radicalised, thin-skinned, or narcissistic people need & welcome fake applause & paid clacquers.

Even in dark times there's light. It might be a bit weaker or shorter. The art it to see it & be in that space where we can enjoy it & not think back to the clouds that were earlier or those that will come. Just sit & breathe & relax & heal for a moment. #GoodMorning, everyone

Goats!!

#TheArchers Here’s a thought, may take a thread to talk it all through. Is it possible that nobody hit George with a bottle? Could he have fallen over, dropping a bottle, and hitting his head on a rock. The rustle he heard was not anyone, but startled him enough to call out, then fall…

Do we look at things differently when we feel threatened? Of course. We're more emotional, impulsive, defensive. A strategy the far-right has used for years by trumping up danger from migrants. Turns out sometimes our biggest threat aren't strangers but our closest friends. #GoodMorning, everyone.
