I think we should keep the "Cutting the half-time orange" thing going as a running bit — whenever Starmer gives a speech we pick one phrase from it and act like we've never heard it before in our lives.

"An Ozymandias Statue in Top Man skinny jeans" is one of the greatest sentences composed in the 21st Century

It should be illegal for large companies to say "quid" in adverts. You're not a cheeky fruit market vendor, you're Dominos Pizza. Stop it

Practising the cadence of my "BOSH" so people understand I am a Big John Guy not a That Other Guy Guy

Can't wait to hear who's won the mug, @mothinali.bsky.social

Anyone out in Bath today. If you spot this bike and tell me where it is I will pay you fuckin handsomely. Pop a lock on it I’ll literally give you £500.

The leader of my party is publishing a thoughtful discussion about how to combat the rise of right-wing ideology among young men. The leader of Your Party is having a passive-aggressive argument with the other leader about membership admin. We are not the same.

Took my 11-year-old to our first Secondary School Open Day. We encountered the D&D club in the library- one of them immediately spotted the Murder Drones plushy she carries and announced "You're my friend now." I fucking love nerds.

Look I mainly enjoy living in 'the countryside' but the fact that I cannot buy Patak's Garlic Pickle ANYWHERE is going to drive me fucking insane. These Wypipo need to learn Mango is not the only chutney-able fruit (or vegetable).

No YOU were up at 4.30am to go the National Brass Band competition

"I thought you were the Green Party, why aren't you posting about trees, or bats" etc etc

Charlie Kirk died on a campus where "open carry" was legal, and yet not one "Good Guy With A Gun" could intervene? Seems weird.

2000 extra members in two days! More and more people are tired of waiting around for... whatever "Your Party" are gonna do, and decided to join those of us who decided to muck in and get something done right now.

If anyone has contact details for The Lorax, please let him know that Radstock cares a whole lot.

The YouTube Algorithm has figured out I was a teenage metaller, and that is how I have made the hilarious discovery that the drummer from System Of A Down is a Trump guy.

Ready to entertain the good people of Keynsham with some bracing Silver Band action

Just Zack Polanski being a legend youtu.be/gGG_-QWpthE?...

After 40 interviews, Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks about his partner, Richie, on #Newsnight @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Refreshing moment of humanity in the current race to be the most divisive and cruel; more of that on tomorrow’s edition, no doubt… 👋🏾 @vicderbyshire.bsky.social

Say what you like about The Algorithm, but it was absolutely bang on the money when it figured out I'd enjoy reading all the Cradle of Filth gossip.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

It's getting harder and harder to deny that AGI is a near certainty. This kind of rapid expansion, this level of investment and infrastructural shift, this amount of *risk* - it doesn't happen without astronomical reward. The other day I saw a big barn, which can only mean one thing: giant horses

Free on the 4th and 5th September, and want to support a trans teen giving evidence against Graham Linehan? Good. Here’s how… #Trans #TransSky

Capitalism is eating itself, the only way to save democracy is to extend it to the workplace or lose society forever. We need socialism.

If you're in Wirral, I recommend you drop into Bulwark Games in Bebington, a lovely independent #BoardGame Cafe/Shop, with a great selection to buy and try. Lots of LGBT+ and Neuro-spicy paraphernalia, excellent vibes. I bought Horizons of Spirit Island. And a Pokemon deck for the nearly-11-year-old

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

Found some sort of outdoor abstract sculpture park

265,000 Long Term Empty Homes in England 720,000 empty homes in England currently 1,627,450 second homes in England (99610 in Wales) It's not assylum hotels stopping us housing homeless people. It's political choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good news!

Evening swim and sunset picnic on the Jurassic Coast. England, I do like you.

Railroad Ink is my holiday #boardgame. I play it exclusively while camping, usually over coffee before anyone else gets up.

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

Slightly diminish a band: The Stumble

My toasted marshmallow looks like Richard Nixon

When you find out the Punch and Judy man is only around for one day of your holiday, you make the effort

Bristol is ANTI FASCIST Who’s streets? Our streets! Anti fascists out in force today to protect an asylum hotel #refugeesWelcomeHere #cityofsanctuary #bristol

1000000x this. We need a memorial to South Asian lives lost fighting for Britain in WWII and we need it as prominent as possible.

Some 21-or-so years ago I saw this weird guy jumping around on the tables of a Bristol social club, playing the banjo and screaming about Lon Chaney and Richard Nixon. It was, to say the least, a formative experience.

I am going to find the local councillor or council officer who OK'ed this as a basketball surface and kick their fucking ass.

This is not caused primarily by "screen time". It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Today in Liam thinks too hard about Sketch Comedy: Is the end of the K&P Continental Breakfast sketch actually good, or is doing a The Shining bit just a cheap way to get out while the audience cheerfully thinks "I understood that reference."

I’m reading a book from the year 2000 about how ‘birth rate’ & ‘ageing population’ panics recurred in the West throughout the 20thC in response to moribund socioeconomic vibes and I’m like maaaan, you ain’t seen nothing yet dog

Mothin is the physical embodiment of "Environmentalism without Class Struggle is just Gardening"

Vladimir Putin Toby Mug, anyone?

Doing some research on what minor keys sit easily on the Anglo Concertina (as one does), and literally the third sentence of the google AI bit contains a very basic factual inaccuracy. Crazy that people are using this stuff so readily.
