Meanwhile, our allies are forcing Ukraine to participate in that charade of ‘peace’ talks.

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Dear USA Policing and law enforcement losing the confidence of the community does not end well. Yours, Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Get General Hammond down there in Seoul, tell him to send us those new surgeons right away.

Look, he's not Wes Streeting. That's the upside.

For Jim Moir/Vic Reeves' birthday, a reminder it's thirty years this year since this advert.

24th Jan is the birthday of both @adrianedmondson.bsky.social and the Emperor Hadrian. Ladies and Gentlemen we give you..... ...Hadrian Edmondson. 😳😐

I want to share my feelings about how darkness affects the psychological state of both adults and children. We adults are better at controlling our emotions, but even for us, spending time in darkness doesn’t pass without a trace:sense of oppression appears,along with apathy and inner exhaustion1/2

You know who”stayed a little back” in VIetnam? DJT.

They tried to sell my parents' art back to me. My parents' art. That my parents & I gave to Unbound entirely for free, to help them launch my book. Which Unbound then asked my readers for money for. Then ran off with that money. They tried to sell that back to me. You really couldn't make it up.

GET OFF THE DRAWINGS YOU ABSOLUTE JERK WHO DOESN’T LIVE HERE, YOU’VE LEFT A PAWPRINT ON PAULO WANCHOPE

"...the damage inflicted by attention-addicted control freaks is a very common theme." Oof. Nail on head for someone I know. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids? The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.

I do prefer, yes.

Red Dwarf always ahead of the curve.

The greatest story you’ll read today 😂😂🫡 Forward it on for the betterment of mankind & also to get me into heaven

Bagged ourselves some tickets to see England Women v Iceland at the City Ground 😊

This was posted by @mambarlife.bsky.social in the Other Place and it’s too good not to share it.

Imagine living in a world where the heartwarming Queer Eye is so against the zeitgeist that it ceases to exist. 🥺 Imagine. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Having to pick up a job I handed over because the person who is supposed to be doing it skips it Wednesday and Friday. It needs doing everyday.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Everything in the news is awful so I'm sharing some clickbait. Somewhere in the world, Victoria Beckham wakes up, picks up her cup of hot water and lemon and: *sound of breaking crockery* "DAYYYYYY-VIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!!!!!!" www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

*nodding softly* Shabana, what the fuck are you on about?

Somehow this thread is a metaphor for America too

This thread is bonkers. Bus to DC switches drivers and new driver refuses to take them to DC. Chaos ensues

Feeling massively sad about the rail disaster in Andalucia.

not to brag, but one reason cinemas loved us is that they could easily programme our little movie because it was under 90 minutes

New Cómpeta episode of APITS on now!

A week and a bit into the job search, so obviously going to keep re-upping this. Pretty sure that this is the worst time of year to be looking for jobs in my area, but if you are looking for a Comms, policy, advocacy person, or know someone who is, please do let me know or share. 1/4

Our cleaner in Spain has cleared all the crap out of our downstairs store room.

"Farmer Alfalfa grows corn and carrots and complex compounds like ivermectin. He keeps some for his family. Most of it goes to Inspector Goldbug, who inspects the farm and explains which parts belong to the government."
