Pi Day? What an irrational holiday… 😉🤓

I suspect “science-fantasy extravaganza” may resonate with more than a few of you… 😅

Condolences to the family of this woman, who presumably died at the red carpet of the BAFTAs on Sunday.

How it’s felt talking to anyone around the country the past few weeks

Just gave my fiancé a little kiss and wished him a happy Groundhog Day…

I really hope the Isle of Lewis is giving Stephen a good endorsement deal because I kinda want to go there now…

It boggles my mind that the BBC correctly gauged the appetite for linear, event television with #TheTraitors… And then decided to go ahead with inconsistent broadcast times and days.

Is chutney a vegetable? 🤔

I had a frittata for breakfast. Well, I had a baked egg & bread slice. Okay, it was not so much bread, but a flour-product. Yeah, sure — it was sweetened… and enriched with butter… Fine. Whatever. I had cake for breakfast.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 #CelebrityTraitors

I’m really good at picking up on hints for what people want for gifts… For example, my fiancé has made it clear he wants a voucher for CJ’s Classes On How To Actually Do The Dishes Properly. 😌🎁🫧🧽

“Mhmmmmm.”

Unrelated, but I don’t ever remember it being this hot this far into autumn here… It was 27°C in Philadelphia today?!?

I’m visiting the US for work, but added a few days to see my family. I mentioned to my sister (also 🏳️‍🌈) that I wanted to try at watch Bake Off this evening… She said she also wanted to watch a women’s basketball match this evening. I promise, we don’t actively try to enact our own stereotypes…

Only Connect copied a category from today’s NYTimes Connection! 😜

I don’t disagree with people who say that Vance is just as bad… But I do think so much of the GOP/MAGA fascist movement is tied up in a cult of personality around Trump, a complete fracturing to the point of collapse is possible when That Day comes…🤞

You know those little warnings in the corner at the start of shows like, “Contains violence, flashing lights etc…”? We were watching “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” last night. It had the indication that there was product placement. Product placement, in Star Trek?!?!?

So tomorrow I fly to the US for a work trip via Amsterdam. Our connection time at AMS is not long and the NCL>AMS flight is often delayed… Yes, I am packing a Pride outfit in my hand luggage, just in case. 😌🏳️‍🌈✈️

Who looks at their bank statements smh

Lol, we joke… But this *IS* essentially how the PrEP roll-out happened in England.

Happy Pride… 🌈🏳️‍🌈⛈️🏳️‍⚧️🌈

Just sharing my interview with Rosie O'Donnell – which went live on HuffPost UK this morning, a good few hours before Trump posted about wanting to revoke her US citizenship – on here... www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rosie-...

We all agree the dad is a total DILF though, right? ✈️2️⃣

Tonight, half of my friends are at Mighty Hoopla. The other half are going to DILF. Me? I’m watching Paddington 2. ☺️

Me, filling out my NJ Governor primary ballot… 🫠 (Also, when can we implement ranked choice voting?) @demsabroad.bsky.social @rasjbaraka.bsky.social

anyway, i like em dashes and i use them a lot. when you see me busting out a semicolon it's likely because i've already run out of em dash charges

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

How long until the news agencies camped out at the Vatican resort to bringing on a seagull specialist?

When everyone else is applying sun cream to your forehead, you smear it and say, “Siiiimmba!” right? Right? Guys?

“It comes in litres?!” 🍺

The “in effect; virtually” meaning of 'literally' is not a new sense. It has been in regular use since the 18th century and may be found in the writings of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, James Joyce, and many others.

I will not be pulling any April Fools’ Day pranks. Ahaha, I fooled you! I *AM* pulling a prank — and that was it! Oh no… Have I created a paradox? Is that — is that a fissure in space-time opening in front of me?! Help! It’s pulling me in! HELP HELP! AAAGGHHHHHHH!

US deports hundreds of Venezuelans "despite" court order. Meaning, of course: "in breach of". On the face of it, it looks like there is now a full constitutional crisis in United States, in that the executive is now freely ignoring court orders. Crisis point reached. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Poetry is everywhere. 😌

A reminder for those curious: An executive order DOES carry the full force of law and remains to do so until struck down through judicial review, legislation, or a further executive order.

literally every time I talk to friends

Sometimes someone will say something like, “The economic costs for standing up to Trump are too great…” But what I hear is, “Yeah I’ll abandon my values for a few quid!”

The modern equivalent of the Tragedy of the Commons would be the Tragedy of the Airport Luggage Conveyor Belt. 🧳

I’m not surprised Carol said this. After all, she never wore her safety goggles. Now she doesn’t need them.

Ugh asteroid day has a chance of being 22 Dec 2032 and you just know they’re going to make us go into the office that day just to “keep going strong all the way to the holiday closure”…

I’m generally rather risk-adverse… But I do get a thrill from updating my devices’ OS just before heading out the door for an out-of-town trip…

Breaking: Punxsutawney Phil sees the shadow of death and fall of an empire, so there will be 6 more weeks of winter and then groundhogs inherit the earth.

“Like a PONY!” #TheTraitors

I was there in 2009 for Obama’s inauguration. DC was packed with people — streets situated blocks away from the mall were so crammed that you could not move. And it was bitter cold (abt. 15°F/-10°C with wind chill). Despite it all, there were palpable feelings of warmth, joy, and optimism.
