Great city this

They will be speaking of little else in the Big Apple this morning

Took me a long time to realise I wasn’t looking at some sort of fucked up x-ray.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

An important read about the background and possible motivation of the ICE shooter. His friends describe him as an extremely online edge lord, with no strong political leanings. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

The new iphone battery is utter gash right? It’s not just me?

Ok one good thing about the upcoming season is pomegranate getting more delicious

lol I built tonight’s entire dinner around some bacon “that needed using up”, well I started cooking it and it’s grey af and expired on the 11th sooooo…

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

Lol

This is a confounding collection of names.

This pair look like the villains in a movie where the hero is a dog.

I’ve got two clothes airers up in my office atm and obviously - obviously - they’re not sneaking towards the door a little bit every time my back is turned and I’m on the computer… but it really feels like one is edging its way out without my input.

I love this article when it comes around again

Bag secured! And by bag I mean Simon Amstell tickets!

GHF have actively been taking influencers in to Gaza to their sites but refused permission for BBC News to do so www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The most heartbreaking words in the English language “oh, just using up leave”

Love this comment about the latest piece of trash on paramount+ (and the show he’s presenting; Naked Dating or whatever the fuck it’s called)

Clean sheets on a Tuesday night who do I think I am THE VERY KING?!?

My favourite thing about my new phone? THUMB-FREE-SCROLLING!!!

No darling. Because I cook. X

How to Win Friends and Influence People.

This is what giving Trump the honour of a second UK state visit achieved. Eight days later, Trump spews outright racist lies about our capital city on the world stage. I have lived in London for most of my life. It is an overwhelmingly a terrific place. And much of that is thanks to immigration.

Had to block the Towie TikTok account because I don’t need more entitled white clueless tories on my screen

One weekend in early summer I was meeting friends in the west end both afternoons. So each day I left my place in Stratford and took different, each very pleasant (at least mostly) meandering walks past landmarks people pay to come here to see, a few hours later got to my destination & carried on.

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

Americans like to make fun of British people's teeth. Well - I'm an American and a dentist living in England because my wife got a great job here. And, actually, British teeth are wonderful compared to American teeth. In the US 1 in 3 patients have rotting teeth. Here, 1 in 80.

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

@sparklyfiend.bsky.social right what do you know about James bourne (I appreciate you’re probably over this)

dudes rock

I was on Indefinite Leave To Remain before I became a citizen. Did everything legally and have since paid taxes and Nat’l Insurance. Kind of like every other person who has ILR. This man would ruin your economy to get elected. Not his, tho, he’s rich.

Errrrr… SIX IN JAPANESE?!? Yes please, who’s coming with me? vm.tiktok.com/ZMAyxuCyq/

Its incredible how many nice things Charlie Kirk seems to have said in private given that he filmed himself 23 hours a day

Man! I really realllllllllly shoulda run for that Stratford train just now huh

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

So in doing my homework for next week, I think I can finally say I’m team #justice4ARTPOP?

Well this is a depressing read based on a depressing read, but the opening paragraph is correct: I AM less worried about climate change now! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s...

The reaction Disney fans are having makes think maybe the Harry Potter fans are just bigots who don’t care after all.

Broadcaster? I barely know ‘er!

Having to wear a hoodie to the tube this morning. I hate aspects of Late Summer.

Disney now has a 5 step process to cancel their account. I walk you through it because it shouldn't be this annoying. Also, after you cancel, invest in people *actually* committed to free speech. Welcome your support to my daily human rights newsletter ❤️✊🏽 www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

Lads if you haven’t been on rapturetok yet may I PLEASE recommend it tout de suite?

“It’s good to be seen as competition!” says Sum Ting Wong in the first ep of Slaysian Royale. Girl HOW DO YOU KNOW

Having a clear out and does anyone want this (incomplete of course) Covid project of Six The Musical outfits made out of Quality Street wrappers for a never-made bedroom lipsync?

Big weekend for brand new Chinese students wandering around Westfield lost, wondering why all the shops aren’t open.

I thought he didn’t care because “haha i’m rich”. Well he clearly does care. It’s eating him up inside. Let’s celebrate that!

transphobia really is a gateway drug

Omg new iPhone is trying SO HARD to get me to bum siri and its AI assist

Honestly didn’t expect this from Bicester Village but slay I guess?
