Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

One stoned crotch-clutcher; one irritating posh drunk. London at night…

Pure timeline cleanser 🧡

Once more, for the record, from 2023.

One of my former Year 6 pupils, whose family are friends with Ed, told me what a nice guy he is. So yes please. Ed Miliband instead of Darth Vacuum.

Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really interesting!

Hitler’s inadequacy has long been known, and it’s also true of all his fascist fanboys. youtu.be/JutPp0Oc0JQ?...

Just as, say, Pete Hegseth hears ancestral voices calling him to a crusade.

Oh yes.

For a moment I’d forgotten that it was my birthday today and then my mate from school sent me this collage…

Give me tramadol every day, any day.

When I was in the army reserve, we were given 20,000 belt-fed rounds and a general purpose machine gun to shoot at a model aircraft. We failed: moving targets are tricky to hit.

I’m not great looking but Mike’s head in this picture makes me think you could put four fingers in his eyes, nose and mouth and roll it down a bowling alley.

My father-in-law, now 100, wouldn’t employ men with beards in his bank branch. My friend and former colleague, who died earlier this year, hated beards at work. Hopefully this stupid attitude will die with them - and with the White Crusader when he’s serving his sentence for complicity in murders.

In the words of the late Dawn Foster: “I knew Wes when I was a student and he was the NUS president - always been a right wing lickspittle cunt”

The Irish Presidents over past 35 years: President Catherine Connolly with her predecessors Mary Robinson, Mary McAleese and Michael D Higgins #SpéirGorm

La Voix for BBC DG!

C R Y I N G this is so perfect lmao x: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ7cPSf...

My role with my oldest friend 32 years ago: walk with her, only ask questions of clarification and otherwise shut the fuck up while she makes her mind up herself.

No one does remembrance quite like AI.

In all my journeys on it, I have been unable to sleep.

President Catherine Connolly’s inaugural speech. “As I speak, I am acutely conscious of the 165 million people currently forcibly displaced from their homes and countries due to war, famine and climate change. We cannot turn back the clock nor close our eyes to these realities.”

Writing’s on the wall…

I did. Who wouldn’t?

Section me quickly - I’ll be voting for @greenparty.org.uk* * so long as they keep terfs at bay

My second encounter today with this book. Perhaps it just isn’t written for me - but the whole idea of the book gives me the heeby-jeebies.

He always looks like he’s just pulled a gimp mask off.

But his dad was a toolmaker, a toolmaker I say.

Catherine Connolly, socialist, former Leas Ceann Comhairle, Independent TD, ppl with disabilities advocate, therapist, barrister, pacifist, LGBTQ supporter & evangelist for the Irish language has just been sworn in as Uachtarán na hÉireann. A great day for Irish freedom & democracy. In the …

I wish we did.

Cath Leng has very strong Jeanetta Grace Susan vibes.

Very happy that Catherine Connolly is just about to be inaugurated as the tenth president of Ireland #Spéirgorm

The purple is absolutely fabulous - she looks regal and entirely herself! Perfect choice! #fashionhistory

Feeling very sore - had it off all night with a divorced guy. "Coming" back tonight - has to climb in through the window. Feeling very shaky.

James Bond mashes up with Doctor Who and regenerates…

Great. We upheld him at meeting on Sunday.

Oh for someone to live off my shit and build me an extension…

Never normalise this.

The sort of cock pic I like to see.

The Ulsterisation of England.

One to avoid. Ugh.

Trigger Point, arguably, has the worst script on TV today. Stiff, cliched pap. Oh, and those crowds of armed response officers continually appearing like black, armed caterpillars…

Temu Elrond loses again.

I feel like we’re going collectively insane. He said those things, in the same speech, to his rabid followers who then tried to violently overturn the election. Those words were real. Everybody saw it. Everybody condemned it at the time.

This is my worry with introducing competition to the Eurostar routes.

If you love the Elizabeth line, this one’s for you. Construction has started on 10 new Elizabeth line Class 345 trains at Alstom’s Derby Works, which will help to make transport even better for Londoners.

Good morning and happy Sunday 🐴 🥰

Everything is just so unrelentingly awful.
