RIP Jane Goodall. I feel like it's shortchanging her legacy to focus only on her work with chimpanzees when her compassion extended to ALL animals. One of the best ways you can honor & continue her legacy is to incorporate more plant based meals into your life. ❤️ news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

Whittled a smaller version of the staff skull, using a teeny router bit, out of a lump of resin sprue. Will neaten up with a scalpel and then detail it with putty. Done it blind but think it's about the right size

Michelle Mone is the polar opposite of the values that should govern public life. She should repay what she owes immediately & get her sorry, dishonourable form as far away from the House of Lords as possible. She, & all those other govt grifters who tried to monetise a pandemic, sicken me. Ends/

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

Mahmood had the opportunity to offer a positive vision of immigration, and how Labour was going to use it to stimulate growth and renewal. Instead, she threw in the towel, accepting that racism is the new norm. She’s not fit for her current or any political job. Incompetent, spineless, no values.

The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Tankograd was created not just by relocating existing factories, but by reallocating new ones to tank production. #OTD in 1942 the first T-34 tanks were completed at UZTM in Sverdlovsk, which previously built heavy construction machinery and tools. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Nigel Farage & Alex Phillips have been awfully quiet about Nathan Gill pleading guilty to eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements made in European parliament and articles. Just wanted to refresh their memories about how they were all a team through that period.

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

In the early 1960s a senior Conservative minister, John Profumo, resigned and inflicted perhaps decisive damage to the electoral prospects of his party for a decade ….. for far less than this

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

The Scottish Government? The First Minister of Scotland? No? Less important a voice than the jumped up Beadle of Fulchester and some moral cripples who haven't resigned or done enough to be kicked out of the Labour Party. Ok then. Noted.

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

But of a test here for what remains of the British news media. These proposals are mad, racist and economic suicide. Will they be reported as such? Or will they be reported as a reasonable suggestion?

Dutch late night TV has its take

Ha ha! Blaming the wi-fi for what is obviously rubbish AI.

Let’s get this trending today. Thinking of you Janey. #Trumpisacunt

Katharine Birbalsingh's responses to that video clip beggar all belief. She says "he is correct" and suggests we are misunderstanding his very clear, very unequivocal language.

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

The only obituary of Charlie Kirk worth reading: ‘He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.’

We can’t have a functioning democracy if every single person with institutional power, when choosing to speak, asks “what makes me look the best,” or “what will placate the politically powerful,” instead “what is true” This society of perpetual lying resembles fascism or the Soviet Union

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

This is such positive, powerful, direct communication. The fact that this seems so remarkable and so rare speaks volumes about our failure to stand up to the fossil fuel lobby.

Three of my great uncles, heroes all, died in World War Two to stop men like this. Will we now allow them to saunter into power?

This first came up in the late 2000s, when it was the Mail telling the public migrants were being warned not to catch and eat the fish in ponds. It turned out this was because carp is Christmas dinner in Poland. Still, this helpfully illustrates who is to blame (it’s the press, then politicians).

Not Fake News, Donald. It was your specific threat.

That's Benjamin Moir, revolutionary and transportee, in 1848. Pardoned but unable to return, he was rotting on three acres of bush in New South Wales. He wrote two letters to his brother and had a neighbour write another, full of reproach and bitterness; it seems that no repatriation ever followed.

Their shadow hangs over the following decades of Glasgow and Scottish politics. Raise a glass to them, and remember too their twenty comrades, transported to Australia and all too conveniently forgotten by all sides.

Excellent news. The law firm representing authors in the Anthropic/AI-theft class-action suit now has a website that is accepting non-US authors' contact info (as long as their books had a US publisher): www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com Please do circulate!

@ckolonko.bsky.social some pics for you - at Roseisle on the Moray Coast. The barbed wire pin I found in the woods just under some pine needles. I thought it was an old tin can at first.

The de minimis rule that allowed small packages worth less than $800 to be exempt from tariffs ended on Friday, Aug. 29, 2025.

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year. The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement. bylinetimes.com/2025/08/27/l...

Raglan‘s quick and easy approach to painting modern Russian MBTs. Stage 1: undercoat with a black spray followed by a dark green to provide a solid base. Vary the green colour, because not all vehicles will be painted at the same time and therefore you are already introducing a “campaign“ feel👌

Ok you need these ladies in your life - during WW2 they risked (and many lost) their lives fighting fascism. Their stories are incredible, and it's been an honour to research them and make 28mm versions of them. You can collect, paint and/or play with them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

If you're at Colours this weekend you can find our goodies on the @greatescapegames.bsky.social stand, and if you're at Tabletop Scotland go visit @handiworkgames.bsky.social to talk all things backdrops and meet the wee guys

Lucy Connolly, a woman who admitted inciting racial hatred after using social media to post about setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers is to speak at the Reform UK Conference today. That spells out all you need to know about Reform UK and their dangerous, hateful agenda.

Hi, @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Just a thought.

As a survivor of domestic abuse, it's important to get this message out there for anyone who is still living in an abusive relationship that might have a secret phone, the message is "turn your phone off so it's not found" spread far and wide folks www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Despite how news outlet may try to portray it, Graham Linehan is in court today for *assaulting a child* The fact they are trans, an activist or anything else is totally irrelevant.

Rule Britannia is just Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for people who love Top Gear.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

A military flyover is really an amazing way to admit you had sex with little girls. Really puts an exclamation point on the whole thing.

Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
