Amazing results from the BBC's "Our Future" public review - almost 1m respondents and impartiality/independence is the number 1, clearest message. Surely their leadership can't ignore this now? www.bbc.co.uk/ourbbcourfut...

Farage is grifting gold bullion at the Reform “party” conference, yet thousands of people believe he’s a “man of the people” 🙄

I look forward to seeing this story receiving wall-to-wall coverage on the BBC News, now that they have openly admitted they are giving Farage and Reform more coverage due to their political “importance” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Back in the days when @herring1967.bsky.social was writing material for the Fanta Fuhrer... www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHVx...

Right, the BBC’s platforming of Farage is getting completely out of hand. On the left, the 4 stories mentioning Ed Davey on the BBC News app since April 1st. On the right, some of the 40+ stories about Nigel Farage in the same period.

I appear to have misplaced my tiny violin - has anyone seen it?!

So let me get this straight: when Disney got involved with Doctor Who, they restarted the series count and promised it would be a fresh start, great for brand new viewers…

Harsh truth: if you reshare a piece of fake news to enquire whether it’s real, find out it’s not and then DON’T delete your post, I’m afraid you are very much part of the problem.

"Are the 'Brexit benefits' in the room with us now, Priti?"

Just finished @emmakennedy.bsky.social‘s beautiful “Letters from Brenda” - next up is @herring1967.bsky.social‘s “Can I have my ball back”. Two books about the impact of losing a precious loved-one, told with humour and love.

New pope, who dis?

Saw this at a @nationaltrust.org.uk property, but I might have to get it printed onto a t-shirt.

Hell must finally have frozen over because the right-wing UK press are saying positive things about Keir Starmer for once…

What would you call this boy band? Take Twat? Five Stazi? Far-right Said Fred?

This sort of crap is the worst type of click bait drivel and it drives me mad. An entire “article” about one whiny tweet. Imagine having to take credit due churning this nonsense out every day.

Wow

80 years on and the Daily Mail STILL have soft spot for Adolf Hitler…

Classy film night: ‘Emilia Perez’ followed by ‘Cocaine Bear’. We’re covering all the bases.

That gum you like is going to come back into style!

The #TraitorsUK featuring an INSANE task involving backward singing dolls on the day that David Lynch died feels VERY appropriate AND spooky.

While explaining the origin of “damp squib” to a colleague today, I used the term “special effects” and immediately felt 150 years old.

The detective work in this season of #TheTraitorsUK has been so abysmal. They’re all like “I’m voting for yourself Geoff, because you’ve got grey hair and that’s exactly the sort of hair a traitor would have”

Today I learned… in the Harry Potter film where the trio have to take polyjuice potion to get into the Ministry of Magic, Ron Weasley turns into Dave Coaches from Gavin and Stacey!

Here’s what I believe is the fundamental problem with the idea that ‘Artificial Intelligence’ will ever create truly meaningful art: people rarely consume art in isolation, particularly art that means something to them. A short 🧵…

I genuinely believe the bastardisation and attempt to re-define the word 'Woke' is the single biggest demonstration of what is wrong with the world right now. Every time somebody uses it in a negative way it makes me lose another tiny morsel of hope that society is in some way redeemable.

Today feels like a real enigma - it's the 13th so NEARLY half way through the month, yet at the same time there are still 3 weeks of January to come

We’ve started watching Acapulco on Apple TV. It’s extremely funny.

Today’s Connections can get in the sea.

Fair play, whoever came up with the format for ‘The Traitors’ is an absolute genius. Every episode and every twist is better than the last. Bloody amazing.

“Everybody’s looking… for Linda…” #TheTraitors

You know this is well edited when not a single person listened to Claudia’s instructions there and DIDN’T say “sorry mate? You lost me - can you start again please?!” #TheTraitors

I genuinely can’t imagine how you could watch #TheTraitors without them watching the ‘Uncloaked’ after. The most joyous part is seeing their reactions when they realise how wrong their suspicions were 🤣

I’d LOVE to know whether @claudiawinkleman.bsky.social has a set time to let them argue at the round table, or whether she judges when the mood turns and stops it manually…? #TheTraitors

So we think Leanne and Leon might secretly be married after that then… #TheTraitors

If you’re upset about Obama politely humouring Trump with a smile at the Carter funeral, you need to give your head a wobble. Politics is all about diplomacy - something Obama is excellent at.

You can keep your Spotify wrapped and your Instagram Top 9 - I only truly know how 2024 went once my Nectar "Check you out" list comes out... Glad to see I've kept my number one position for Tonic Water #HumbleBrag

What's happening in LA is a disaster and my heart goes out to all my friends who are affected. So many mind-blowing photos coming out from the scene - including this one by Ethan Swope, which oddly reminds me of Sauron: The Early Years. www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

BREAKING: Saruman announces that the Gap of Rohan shall henceforth be referred to as the Gap of Isengard

Not content with making the world's crappiest car and ruining Twitter, he now wants to influence our UK democracy and is endangering the lives of hard-working MPs in the process. What an absolute cretin... www.ft.com/content/dd4b...

The perfect demonstration of man-spreading on the sofa there… #TheTraitors

Long shot theory: could Dan and Joe be brothers? Seeing them bicker just then made me wonder… #TheTraitors

Chap with the pink hair is staying pretty quiet isn’t he? #TheTraitors

You’ve GOT to be getting the conflict negotiator down, surely?! He’d be such a good asset… #TheTraitors

It’s probably too early to call, but I think I want Leanne to win… #TheTraitors

Got on the roof (not smart) to get a better look. Smoke from Eaton & Palisades fires

Is it weird that I now generically refer to both Google Meet and Teams calls as “zoom calls”, despite not having actually used Zoom since the pandemic? They got the fame but not the actual users I guess.

This whole Greenland thing is such a mystery isn’t it? What could have possibly prompted it? Oh wait…

Say what you want about Threads, those guys seem to hate Jeremy Vine almost as much as I do - can BlueSky achieve those sorts of levels of vitriol? I sure hope so...

If you think that deleting your Threads account will upset Zuckerberg, you’ve clearly not seen the number of seemingly decent people STILL using Twitter under the delusion that it might get better again. People can ignore a lot of awful behaviour when they want to.

I feel stupider just watching him, like my brain cells are dying in protest.
