There are three and a half thousand replies and at least half of them are Australians saying "beef Wellington" 😂🤣

It's striking here how she doesn't use the word 'abuse' or 'abusive', choosing instead 'sexualising'.

Unfortunately, when ICE agents started arresting American citizens a few months ago for the "crime" of being brown or speaking Spanish, we knew this was coming. It's taken less than a year from Donald Trump's inauguration for ICE agents to be executing American citizens in cold blood on the street.

Happy 13th birthday to the most essential artwork of the current era, @kcg.bsky.social ‘s “This is fine,” to all those who celebrate.

Only in Bristol. LOL.

This is the shit worth fighting for. This can be America

Imperil yourself by travelling only if essential. Unless it inconveniences timetabling.

Short back and sides?

Snow outside = whisky inside. It’s the law.

Thank you for your attention to this matter 😂 👏

On Tuesday, the Israeli military invaded Birzeit University, attacking students with live ammunition. Israel's scholasticide is a core part of its attempt to obliterate the collective life of the Palestinian people. We have written to Yvette Cooper urging the British government to take action.

UK readers double-taking, dropping their phones, spitting out tea etc

Flatbread factory. Bread inside and snow outside is a very wholesome combination.

Ooh, it’s begun.

While everyone else makes comparisons between Trump and Hitler my wife is texting me her comparisons between him and Henry VIII. This is what happens when a politics nerd and history nerd are married.

Just in a serious meeting (on Teams from home) with a colleague to think about our pedagogical approach to particular course. Me: [serious] So what do you think? Her: [looking excited] IS THAT BUCKAROO BEHIND YOU? Me: Ummm. Yup. Should maybe do something about my Teams background 😂

The world is rubbish so I’ve ordered myself a bunch of flowers (because no one else will).

Mini-project I was working on last summer on climate fiction and pedagogy for environmental politics is out! Co-authored by two of my second-year Environmental Politics and Policy students, whose perspectives were invaluable. ojs.library.lancs.ac.uk/lue/article/...

Morning. Moving is hard this morning. This is not my favourite time of year.

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

You're not ready for the name of the energy transition specialist at Heat Pump Association UK

I wouldn’t say don’t, but I would say you don’t have to. I feel perfectly capable of understanding how outrageous it is for a federal agent to shoot someone in the face without having to see them do it, and in many cases I find the descriptions have greater impact than the videos themselves.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Actions have consequences.

Y’all need to learn how to use content warnings. I’m not saying don’t repost it, but at least give people a chance not to see it.

Turned all the hot things on. All of them.

Why it is still extremely relevant to teach students about environmental justice struggles

What do you mean I have to get up at this time THREE days in a row?!

If the Pentagon Pizza index holds true. We've got a crazy af night ahead of us. #SheShed

I was never a big fan of Pennymatkt either. Much preferred Rewe.

Despite all the alerts and warnings, there has been no snow. Disappointing. I did an emergency M&S Food Hall run too. Ah well.

The number of world leaders with pieces of paper in their hand right now…

If you’re somewhere strange and need a place to hang out for a bit, find a metal bar. Always friendly, never trouble.

I think the US probably counts as a foreign dictatorship now.

My phone has just given me a warning for ‘Snow now’ and I was just wondering, if those two words rhymed, would you pronounce it ‘snow now’ or ‘snow now’?

Just checking with how Starmer's crusade to ban apps that produce deep fakes is going

Ugh. Happy blue passport day to me 😭

This genuinely made me laugh out loud. They think the guy who nearly lost his seat to an independent candidate and is pretty much universally disliked by everyone is teh answer to their electoral woes?

Hey Bluesky, send us your best ducks (Happy #InternationalUnsolicitedDuckPicDay to all who celebrate)

This is Ollie. He found a perfectly placed carrot snack on his walk. Simply can't believe his luck. 13/10 best day ever (TT: maxime_aries)

Finally some good news! www.thepinknews.com/2026/01/05/j...

Pingu has been fiddling with the thermostat in my bedroom again 🥶🐧❄️

Blimey, the soaps are really depressing this evening, aren’t they?!

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.
