Five years ago, I made a meme I'm still mighty chuffed with.

I haven't been blocked by anyone for 13 hours. I think that's a record!

"WHAT DO WE WANT?" "REGRESSIVE IDEOLOGIES!" "WHEN DO WE WANT THEM?" "WHEN OUR BETTERS TELL US THAT WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED THEM!"

This is the test of whether NATO's Article 5 means anything. Given Agent Krasnov won't want America to get involved, it is also a test of whether the EU will join to protect its members. It gives me no joy to say that we need to rise to the challenge.

I'm no expert but that looks pretty much like the definition of a static fire to me.

My current favourite place online...

Two things. 1) WTAF are they thinking? 2) Spread the word like a wildfire with added petrol. MIT needs to rethink this. This is not the moment to close libraries. It's never the moment to close libraries.

STOP EATING AVOCADOS FFS

Spanish Champagne... Every year. 😈

It's difficult to be 100% sure but it seems that Rupert Lowe has unveiled a policy of "British nonces for British kids". Which is, y'know, different.

Yaay!

Fun fact of the day Croatia 🇭🇷 has higher adult literacy rates than the UK 🇬🇧

In this heat, it's Prince Andrew I feel sorry for.

It's so nice and cool in Paris...

I'd just like to make a final post in case my train has no aircon. It's been great to converse with you all. I had a bottle of water so probably made it beyond Rennes. It's bloody hot.

My beloved Spurs aren't getting relegated. Don't expect me to celebrate. Being the fourth shittest team in the Prem is nothing to crack open the champagne over. I'll celebrate when we win something. Or when the owners fuck off. #COYS

John Rawls's Theory of Justice was a very important book for me at uni. I wrote essays about it. You know what I'm going to say... and, yes, I'm going to put that right by reading it all the way through now. Brilliantly, I've just found my uni copy - seems appropriate that I should read that one!

BRITAIN : Countries should be allowed to protect their borders! ALSO BRITAIN: NOT LIKE THAT!!

A while back, when the car was in the garage, they noticed there was a minor problem with the traction battery and sent it off for fixing (under guarantee). When it came back, it still wasn't to their standards, so they sent it back again! Result: EV with over 100k km and a battery SoH of 96.55%!

As further proof of my go-getting international lifestyle, I'm thinking of buying myself some new slippers today.

Y'know that ebola thing. Two words - World Cup.

If you think the next three years are going to be long, you're gonna hate the five years after that...

If you want to see the power of this crazy network of which Bluesky is just a part, go and log into Popfeed using your Bluesky account and have a look at your profile. Seriously. Trust me. The future is here on the ATmosphere and you don't even know it... yet. popfeed.social

The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.

Solid.

I am appalled by the conduct and rhetoric of Israeli Cabinet minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in relation to the Global Sumud Flotilla. Scotland stands with the people of Gaza. We need to see more humanitarian aid coming in, and every effort must be made to secure lasting peace.

Top tips for a successful interview: 1) Turn up on time. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Every time you think about Meta, remember that this genius changed the name of his company because the metaverse was the nailed-on winning next step for online interaction. Burnt billions on it. Pillock. news.sky.com/story/zucker...

⚡UK quietly issues sanctions waivers on Russian oil products. The first license permits imports of diesel and jet fuel made from Russian oil if "the products have been processed in a third country," while the other allows the maritime transport of Russian LNG.

Stop threatening me with good times.

Oh no.

We see you supporting the Russian economy. We see you.

I drove over 2000km over the past four days. I wouldn't recommend it (esp if you've got a bit of PTSD from being in a car accident!). The bits in between were fun, though.

To avoid relegation, Spurs need one point from two games in which we will probably get no points and, given how this season transpired, will definitely deserve no point. I'm just tired at this stage.

So the Croatian jury gave Serbia 12 points and the Croatian public vote gave Serbia 12 points. The Serbian public gave Croatia 12 points (thanks ! ♥️) and the Serbian jury gave Croatia 0 points. Vučić is a small-minded pillock. I appreciate this is not breaking news.

They didn't win. Now remove Israel from the contest and let's have this stupidity for a moment longer. A huge chunk of actual Europe feels unable to compete because of Israel. Time to draw a line.

I look forward to reading the inevitable report which says that they want Israel to stop fixing the phone vote and then doing nothing about it. An absolute shitshow. The Eurovision organisers have ruined the competition.

Look mum, no votes.

And share this about to cheer people up!

Have a fantastic weekend.

Right now in Grote Markt in Brussels there's a guy doing massive amounts of bubbles and, in a world gone to shit, it's absolutely magical.

Wes Streeting has just done something very good for the country - he's resigned. Now, once he loses the leadership challenge, he can be consigned to history and we can all move on. Thanks, Wes!

Let's play The Missing Inevitable Words Round. Three points available for the correct answer and one point for something amusing.

So, onwards with the trip. Not sure where I'm going to stop to charge. Planning is important... 😂

Fun things about living in the EU #978 Just decided to drive up to Belgium 🇧🇪 and the Netherlands 🇳🇱 this weekend with little Miss @james.barisic.fr

This is worth a read.

I bought myself a new mug.

In peace prepare for war, in war prepare for peace. So, my question for those wanting to get rid of Starmer is what's your plan for peace? Because it seems to me that nobody has prepared for what happens next. Which is why it will be a shitshow. You literally watched the Tories do this. Morons.
