'Volunteers are being recruited, with the first doses expected to be given to healthy adults in the UK "within weeks".' Early days, but seriously amazing.

Bugger it. Sam Neill was just one of those people who always seemed like A Good Sort

Why yes my Diablo4 druid IS called Mopple and has a baby goat sidekick and Reliable Shepherd title. (it's an alt but I keep playing cos I love Mopple!)

Cheers to Lindsey Graham for being the one Republican who found out where Mitch McConnell was and actually went there.

Stayed up for NORENG, then couldn't sleep. So.. now I'm attempting to work on 3h sleep. (mostly importantly if France come in 1st-3rd I get some money back from sweepstake.. we're getting so close to random money!)

“When she told queer people they will burn in hell she did it in a way that brought everyone together” UK Media right now.

Ready to leave the house (in a few hrs), need groceries, and is supposed to be a little cooler today - at least when I'll go. So tired. Have 5h of work to do across weekend, maybe tomorrow, eh?

Ok, Ann Widdecombe murder investigation?? Holy crap. (also take back previous comment, though she was still not a nice person)

Yes well that rather sums it all up.

When I worked in Home Office, one of my friends worked in Ann Widdecombe's office. I hope he's having a good morning.

Bayeux Tapestry delivered to British Museum in dead of night

Also Burnham is my definition of cringe. Hope Labour do some good stuff regardless, NOT LIKE BANNING VPN USE you absolute dickheads.

Also blah blah World Cup (yes, I'm following it, no I cba with football chatter, who supporting, why, etc etc)

Fell off through heat. Had a sick day *unusual for me*, now catching up with work deadlines so up at 4:30am and going to attempt some insight :) Started X-Men 97 s2, hiding from heat.

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

Confused attendees thought they were supposed to invade the Capitol.

In other catch-up news: - I like Sunderland away kit (but sad about Xhaka transfer rumours) - I will read this month's reading group book, and have started - Ruby was allowed out overnight in the heatwave, she was back by 4am each morning - saw Op. Mincemeat and Karate Kid the Musical. One was good.

Paying so much attention to World Cup I forgot to do R32 transfers in fantasy game. But, we've had some great visitors over past few weeks, played a lot of Citadels and eaten well. And yes, I am vaguely following WC, but we don't have a TV licence and I have a weird sleeping pattern, so not much.

Ozzy comes in from the garden covered in seeds EVERY day. Ruby picks up one or two from hours outside. Cats.

From @dylanbaddour.bsky.social at @insideclimatenews.org: A decade ago, Corpus Christi’s regional water plan projected shortages by 2050. The next plan, released 5 years later, shortened that timeline to 2030. The next plan, released this year, said shortages were imminent.

If even a respected director like Luca Guadagnino can get his film binned, what does that say about the state of Hollywood? Nothing good… filmstories.co.uk/news/amazon-...

Carter USM bringing out an Antarctic Thistle football shirt is testing my willpower (because I just won't spend that much on a tshirt, however great)

‘Slough is like an experiment’: Europe’s largest datacentre hub leaves town sweltering

Trump opened the courthouse door; now the BBC wants the receipts — they are asking for Trump’s own call logs, calendars, and Jan. 6 communications in discovery.

80-yr-old in our reading group was giving me advice on what to do with my spare time due to move to p/t. Was actually useful and also incredibly sweet. Also now I know MK Gallery has a Lowry exhibition coming.

Popped in, saw all the comments re: British politics, high-tailed out again. Read indie and self-published comics, listen to @winemumsnetwork.bsky.social's podcasts, keep well. cba

Broke nose stud in the night, have bad history with nose piercings. Woke up unrested at 4am, took sleeper out of ear, cleaned, shoved in nose. No idea what hell I've wrought. Couldn't close it for a while, think it's closed now. No idea where ANY of my spare earrings are. It'll be a DAY

Utterly disgusting

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

In better news, first 5h work day and first 3-day week *not looking forward to the drop in pay ofc ofc

Zoe said no to a new kitten.

Ok, Operation Mincemeat is very fun. Disappointed in MK audience for not cheering when Bletchley was namechecked.

Actually going to the local theatre today (Op. Mincemeat). Going to one of my fave shitty local restaurants and sister coming up from London = good day!

Thanks for all the shares and likes and nice messages about the Hellraiser comic! 🙏 Here's a portrait I did of pinhead in preschool (true) that I will absolutely be slapping on a shirt.

Announcing... HELLRAISER RESURRECTIONS: THE ONANISTIC RITUAL! A sordid tale of a black-pilled gooner incel who gets his hands on Lemarchand’s box. It’s all brilliantly realized by @bobgoblynn.bsky.social and dripping with mood thanks to @francescosegala.bsky.social Out in September from BOOM!

In cat news, we learned Ruby hangs out at the electricity sub-station not far from house. She's being a dick about coming home occasionally, but always relents. And last night she slept with me for a few hours (this has never happened before).

Got France in work WC sweepstakes, not really paying much attention since I'll be asleep for most WC matches, but at least get 3rd so I get some money, France! (in other news, next season FPL team I'm limiting to teams in stripes and, separately, looking forward to Sunderland's Elvis kit).

Who knew FP was expanding? (h/t to @copperbird.bsky.social for flagging) rdg.today/forbidden-pl...

Seeing The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals and Hadestown. The theatres are next door to one another. Will be a late night home.

lol.

Last day as a full-timer, now I need some hobbies

Also, won work FPL league and signed the docs to reduce my hours. Wasn't a bad day at work yesterday (aside from the heat!)

Let the cats out at 7am just to get some fresher air in the house (yes, the windows are open throughout except on latches so Ruby can't fling herself out a window overnight.. she is that insane!)

💥 70,000 signatures! 💥 ...and the petition closes on June 8th. Imagine if we can get it over 100,000 before then - and open a Parliamentary debate in time for the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote on June 23rd 2026. That'd be powerful. All hands to the pump! Sign and share, share, share! 👇

bringing this one back because they just keep doing it
