Imagine if BBC, other media & Govt gave “small boat / asylum hotel” treatment to: - 1,500 people killed on UK roads each year by motor vehicle drivers - 13,000 people killed in UK each year by emissions from vehicles and power plants. lae.mit.edu/2024/06/28/n...

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

your ex made the papers etcetc

I did the "What software do you need?" test and it told me I have to subscribe to more than one pieces of accounting software just to have the privilege of paying tax like I used to for free. I am going to become a right-wing comedian.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

what is Starmer doing about the blighting scourge of apps that excitedly tell you to check out a gig that sold out months ago

fun to paddle round the beautiful Stad Amsterdam moored on the Thames tonight

Horse Tylenol is still safe though, right?

Hang on, they want networks to meet *in their own time* but still want to have signoff on all events? That’s proper “pick one” territory. Also I’m not sure war on the civil service really goes with the vibes of this government, tbh.

Can’t explain it but of course they want to take away one of the only painkillers that’s safe for pregnancy, a condition that causes weird and unusual pains. these people WANT pregnancy to be a punishment and handicap. they want to control.

we got married (and this time not on stage) I love @suddenlyjoseph.bsky.social and had the most magical day photos by the incredible @isntdave.bsky.social ❤️

the one that annoyed me the most, and which followed me around for the longest, was the woman who wrote a book about shagging 12 men in a year, my friend if you're going to want me to spend £10.99 and read 80,000 words then I'm going to need you to actually put a shift in

i realise i'm just sitting her yelling at the news but this is such a breathtakingly insulting way of framing this. people are not angry at the *pictures* from Gaza. the pictures show genocide. people are angry about genocide. we're not dogs wagging our tails at pictures of sausages.

Love Iceland

Populist politicians, convicted criminals, foreign billionaires… are you getting it yet? these are NOT three separate threats. And we’re calling it iTrump

Happy weekend

Love it

please, think about the damage you might cause before sending an invoice

Jimmy Fallon Executed After Ending Show's 20 Minute Moment of Silence for Charlie Kirk 8 Seconds Early

This is real and I need to have a lie down

The equivalent of over 8 people working median full time salaries per child, like… how even and my god some people are getting rich off this

Labour MPs today call for new legislation to extend a right of responsible access to more English landscapes, and for the right to swim and wild camp to be enshrined in law @righttoroam.bsky.social inputted to this new report from the APPG for access to nature: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

today I woke up with no plans, then visited an ancient house, saw odd art installations, went on a ship, had thai food in a baffling restaurant and went to a combination miniature robot battle / rock gig greatest city in the world

nothing worse than arriving at a lovely neighbourhood restaurant with a fantastic kitchen and exciting dishes, sitting down to take your seats, and being handed The Sunday Roast Menu

Hey girl, Keir Starmer’s social media activity has me thinkin, how we can ignore any number of red flags. I suppose that’s why I am texting you now…

free speech advocates

this didn’t happen at the height of the Brexit referendum. I don’t *think* it’s happened since National Front were at their peak in 1970s. This is organised racist intimidation & movement building, and it’s happening because Labour Party leaders have not opposed that campaign.

I know a lot of people have expressed similar sentiments but I’ve lived in London for 20+ years and never felt threatened or a even a bit scared to be here until today. This needs to end.

All of which is to say that so many of these people who came out today probably have very little by way of a life offline. It’s clear from I/vs and vox pops that many of them struggle to actually explain what they believe in, that the way they move through the world is online references

I think we should start using the term "long gamergate"

Happy anniversary of my one and only banger of a tweet.

the weirdest thing about this is they were only doing it for a laugh

Good stuff. Hope with Ireland and now the Dutch this begins a wave.

just reeled back in absolute joy at this, what perfection

just got out of a speeding ticket by pretending to be really upset about charlie kirk lmao

been working entirely out of London this week so it’s been really nice to romanticise the tube strike, so lovely to see so many people cycling round the capital for the first time 🥰

A colleague of mine has been given a logo redesign brief summarised as follows: "Think global, act local, but don't forget we're perceived as regional"

I suspect we have further to go before Labour MPs would consider pushing Starmer out, but when the Tories got to that point with Johnson, this kind of thing was why: asking ministers to go on TV and eat shit over stuff that you’re just going to U-turn on anyway.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain. The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services. That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

all signs point to this being just an incredibly destabilizing moment. very very bad stuff. we're in a very dark place.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked
