I hear so much like this on here. First the press/msm isn't one organisation. Second, unlike social media the msm is highly accountable and regulated. Third the msm media do frequently tell people what the police are saying - this is different from saying that the police account is what happened.

Some incredible photos here. The priest, the polar bear and the boat are the top three. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

There must be a little bit of dust in the air here... Happy Christmas x www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No Ram at the Inn. At Camp Plas, Dolanog, B’Dave the retired ram is now a member of the family! Lovely to get this heart warming tale in the Telegraph, Express and Star! Merry Xmas all!

Happy Winter Solstice! Beer can, pinhole camera photos of the Summer to Winter Solstice (2024) and the Winter to Summer Solstice (2025). You never know quite what you're going to get with these photos, set the beer can pointing towards the sun at hopefully the correct angle and wait 6 months!

I took this picture in 2005 at which point there were a few hundred satellites in orbit. 20 years later there are over ten thousand. Never again can we enjoy the night sky free from the intrusion of modern tech as every single human ancestor before us has done.

3/4. En esta imagen se muestra el mismo campo estelar del Cometa C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) sin limpiar. En solo 15 minutos de adquisición, contamos 1659 trazas de satélites (unos 400 individuales). Sobran las palabras para describir la contaminación del espacio cercano.

Trump has never been convicted of corruption so there's no privilege - you want to make this statement you have to be able to prove in a court of law that you are correct. Rutger isn't been censored he's been shown how the law works.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, She’s fucking Mark Sanford, I’m battling bamboo.

A mellow end to the day here in Glastonbury.

Having carefully calculated that there is absolutely nothing in the budget, floated, mooted or recommended that isn't going to hit me (rightly, though less rightly for some options) I'd just like the love shared a bit so real money got raised and the country visibly got better as a result.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Not entirely sure if this is accurate.

Hhahahahahahahaaa

France can keep it. We have our own now. Originally requested by Neil Meaton

Whatever you think of Tommy Robinson, it shouldn't be right that the police have the power to stop someone and demand their phone PIN. In the same situation no way would I be handing mine over.

This is one of the great threads.

Zoom out 🙏 🤩 #wonder

I feel we should say, as a tribute, that she's kicked the 💐

Some studies show a higher rate of autism in children whose mother used paracetamol when pregnant, some don't. That seems to be what we know at the moment. We can't say prenatal paracetamol use causes autism, we can't say it doesn't. Should we do more research - definitely

If you are going to talk about Autism, paracetamol/acetaminophen please read the published studies first scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=e...

Every time I look at this image I get annoyed for a different reason, it’s remarkable

His final photo '10:28:24 AM' seconds before the 2nd tower came down is just astonishing #September11

I hate the snobbery implicit in this viewpoint. There's nothing wrong in the principle of asking people what they think. Having an opinion shouldn't be the preserve of think tanks or professional commentators. That said when journalists are out asking questions most people are out at work.

Here's what they could be talking about:

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

another sad case of a good kid gone bad

The bond market is in trouble across the world. Long-term government bond yields are rising everywhere from the U.S. to Japan to France to the UK. Finance is entering a new, more dangerous era. (a thread)

Bluesky is shrinking rather than growing. It has no source of revenue. If it doesn’t grow, *it will die*. Constantly making it unwelcoming, saying who you don’t want here, setting rules for what other sites people should and shouldn’t use, and the like, will kill it quicker.

uh while you were sleeping quite a lot of X has become convinced that Donald Trump is dead.

This future sucks

We can't fix climate change, we can't fix global inequality and so we get migration. And we can't fix that either so we become more intolerant and grasp for simple answers which just makes our problems worse. At some point you're going to need more food than your neighbours and a good weapon

Martin Parr - the world's most overrated photographer. Normally I wouldn't be so disrespectful to another professional but Parr has spent his career pointing at people, normally poor people, and asking us to laugh at them.

Sanity prevails: the Guardian has defended its journalism against Noel Clarke’s lawsuit. A well-deserved win for them, but their team has still lost years of their lives to stand by their story – and Clarke’s victims had to testify in court so they could do so . British libel law is *brutal*.

Companies who put salt in baby food should be banned from selling food outright

A few photos of the drought of '25 from our newswire. We're so used to seeing these images they don't have impact they would've in years past. Climate change is with us now and we're already turning a blind eye. #SWNS Photos by Katielee Arrowsmith, Tom Maddick, William Lailey and Wayne Hutchinson

Some recent shows, as they say. Via @swnslive.bsky.social

This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved
