The fact this is even needed is terrifying. This is what could happen here in the UK if people continue to believe the lies being peddled by some politicians.

I read things on social media & think those things never really happen. Today 1 of those things happened to me. A car pulled up beside me. A man got out. He was holding flowers. He handed me the flowers and said 'it's a random act of kindness, have a good day.' got in his car & drove off.

Made me smile.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Really, I would never have predicted this.

stop thinking right now

I love the frogs, unicorns, polar bears & other cartoon creatures. A perfect protest from all.

Welsh cakes are the food of the gods. Best eaten straight off the skillet. Yum.

Here is a baby otter to end the week

Such a great poem! Zephaniah is sadly missed. Americans with thoughts about British food, please take note this is not about food.

We can live in hope.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Very wise words.

The best scone I ever had was in NZ. There was a great cafe in Fox, they made them continuously all day, you could help yourself to jam and cream. This place also did amazing bacon and egg pie. Happy memories.

Well, this is going to end well!!!

Am I the only person who has never read a Jilly Cooper book?

It's terrifying that this could potentially happen on the streets of the UK.

Where is spitting image when you need it. That said, it would be pretty hard to parody some of the stuff currently happening.

Let me get this straight... You changed the law so that hundreds of people would be arrested for holding placards, and now you're blaming those people for wasting police resources?

Kind of revolutionary, some guy suggesting we show comparison & are nice to each other. I think there was a man, about 2000 years ago suggesting something similar.

As a kid I thought Dollar were really rubbish. As an adult I recognise that they are even worse than I thought. #totps

Extroverts after hanging out: that was so fun, let’s hang out again tomorrow! Introverts after hanging out: ok now I need 72 hours of silence to recover

As a child, our local chippy was owned by a lovely Scottish family, they would go haggis hunting every year!!!!

I bet she had the best time with those kids, and the kids had the best tour ever.

There's never "enough" for these people.

100% this. ⬇️

Made me giggle.

I loved this film as a child, I loved that the cat could fly, it was the hight of special effects to 5 year old me.

Sadly, the brutal underground sport of kitten fighting continues to go on unabated, and remains criminally unreported.

Locomotion No.1 has arrived in #Darlington. What a fantastic event for #Railway200.

starmer: "the left has ignored immigration fears"... well, those fears are irrational and should only be addressed in such a way that makes it clear why they're irrational.

Spot in, it is definitely hysteria, not reality.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏉 🌎 🏆 🏅 an excellent end to an excellent summer of sport. Well done, excellent to the red roses.

Anti - Fa implies the existence of Anti-So and Anti-La

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.

Michael Crick, journalist: “It depresses me how much fellow political journalists are down-playing this - a dranatic story not just about Russia corrupting a British politician - as they've done in Germany & France - but also about the character judgement+relationships of Reform leaders Farage+Tice”

Hannah Arendt should be compulsory reading for everyone right now.

Funny how introverts are always told to ‘speak up’ and ‘get out of their shell’… but no one ever tells extroverts to lower their volume and maybe read the room

Took my cat to the vet today and asked the people at the front desk what the weirdest pet name they’d ever encountered was One of them said, immediately, “Well, nothing’s going to beat ‘Cocaine’”

Very wise 9 years olds me thinks.

I can’t agree with this. London is a pretty fabulous city, certainly beats any tourist city anywhere in the world, outside the UK. But as a native of Liverpool, Liverpool is the greatest city in the world.

Five things that annoy introverts: 1. Uninvited interruptions during their alone time 2. Being pressured to socialize when they need solitude to recharge 3. Overly crowded and noisy environments 4. Constant small talk that lacks depth and authenticity 5. Being misunderstood as shy or anti-social

Yes, we've all got our misgivings about the BBC for so many reasons, but the BBC Verify team continue to do amazing and vital work that I'm not seeing other major news outlets in any particular hurry to bother with.

Dear Parents of [Autistic] Children, Accept your child for who they are. Your child is not you. Your child is not your possession. Your child is not broken. Your child doesn’t need a cure. Your child might have significant additional needs, that doesn’t make them less human. Love them forever.

Absolutely, yes. I love the BBC, I am definitely not in the defund camp. But whoever is pulling the editorial news strings is definitely very right wing.

I have friends & family that were midwives. Some names they have encountered include Cymidia & Guy (pronounced Gooey). There were many others, but I forgot them.
