My friends (married) are hosting a Traitors finale watch party this week I wanted to ask them "what time Friday?" What I actually sent was... "Shag time Friday?"

Hamnet slightly ruined by the most recognisable Max Richter song

I don't often go to see films (like maybe once every 2-3 months?) so I am actually completely happy to pay ridiculous prices at Everyman for: - access to good food and cocktails - a sofa I can share with a friend - leg room - a lil table for my drinks and food

Jólakötturinn is real!

Super interesting interview about 'electrotech' which can be thought of as "the next chapter of the digital technology revolution rather than the climate technology revolution" www.volts.wtf/p/clean-elec...

DENMARK'S AKADEMIKERPENSION: DECISION TO DIVEST U.S. TREASURIES IS ROOTED IN POOR U.S. GOVERNMENT FINANCES; NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO ONGOING RIFT BETWEEN THE U.S. AND EUROPE

The most Australian quote so far this year, on why the guy keeps going into the water despite recent shark attacks: "We do risk it for the biscuit, absolutely." edition.cnn.com/2026/01/20/a...

i forgot that once you light an incense stick you're stuck with it for like 2 hours i have....regrets

Cannot believe today is blue Monday (which is made up) but I did almost cry on my drive to Wales

I have a question that is gonna seem disingenuous but it's not... Did Live Aid actually substantially change anything?

Nothing quite like waking up and trying to figure out what the hell has happened

missed this comedy on Friday, apparently Musk is having a spat with Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary:

Watching Con Air for the first time...

Me: complicated question that is not yes/no My mother: 👍🏻

Let's be clear: Fifa has been an embarrassment for a very long time.

Can't help but feel china had (some of) the right idea(s). You make/own stuff yourself, you don't have to be beholden to anyone else. Shame we sold anything worth something decades ago.

Just got an email about a class action I could be a part of. I was in NYC for two years, I've been involved in I think now three class action suits (and got money), asked to be part of a jury, and sent a check for the cost of living (?) America is wild yo

Thank you to governor Hochul and the New York State Legislature for sending me $150 to address the rising cost of living 🫡 ... to my address...in London

The only half decent photos I've gotten from the first half of Ovo..no alt text but they are a pair of acrobats performing on ropes/lines and then someone doing handstand stuff on small hand plates

I think it's easy to love London if you didn't grow up here, and very easy to feel disdain for it if you grew up in the suburbs. I'm just going through Knightsbridge thinking how nice it looks & how much tourists rave about London because they've been here but it feels absolutely inaccessible to me

Booked to see Hamnet at my fave cinema next week 🥰 looking forward to sobbing my eyes out

Been trying some of those patches that are meant to help you with stress and stuff. Tried the calm one, feel like it helped. Used the focused one today and I am basically just *concentratedly* angry and my neck hurts?? More data points needed.

The fun thing about feeling like you're in the wrong place is people are like "why don't you move" as if that's not like, the cause of the angst. There is probably a universe where past Soph married early and rich, but I happen to exist in the one where I don't have piles of money to do such things.

Public opinion on nearly every aspect of President Trump’s first year back in the White House is negative, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, with a majority of Americans saying Trump is focused on the wrong priorities and doing too little to address cost of living. https://cnn.it/49qvwBo

A new thing I have been doing this year: Every time I get a email or notification, ask myself "Do I ACTUALLY need or want to see this?" If yes: deal with it or star/leave unread for later If no: unsubscribe/change notifications settings/delete app if I feel that strongly, delete email 🧘‍♀️

Scientists have just unveiled the most detailed data yet of the terrain hidden under Antarctica’s ice. We mapped it and compared it to the previously best available data for our story with @markpoynting.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Idk why but I'm beside myself at this

Who is Nobel anyway?

Operation Mincemeat (the film) is actually quite good. I derive some amount of pleasure from the fact that the Churchill and Godfrey were Beria and Zhukov in The Death of Stalin.

He looks so guilty, I love him 🥹 #TheTraitors

Harriet sacrificed herself in vain. Oh well. #TheTraitors

Sometimes I watch people on #TheTraitors and I'm like "man you have really annoying habits/mannerisms" and then I remember that I hum and talk to myself at work all the time and I would be annoying as shit on TV.

STEPHEN'S OUTFIT IS BANGING #thetraitors

I am so, so happy that I paid mine off a couple of years ago when I was in the US. I feel very fortunate. I wonder if it would be better/fairer to actually set it up like a tax. That way the rich would pay the same as anyone else.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

Even thinking about Sarah Everard makes me incredibly angry. I don't for one second believe he's the only "bad apple" and if you think I trust the Met to do any good at all, you'd be sorely mistaken.

The 'give ice qr codes' thing reminds me of when Sarah Everard was murdered by a real policeman using his real police id to kidnap her, and the police & gvt made out the solution was to have a helpline to check that the person bundling you away was a real policeman (as the murderer was)

To be fair I am absolutely terrible at Blood on the Clocktower but even I'm close to shouting at the telly

Ok so everyone playing The Traitors is absolutely terrible

Not been to a Harvester in...I cannot remember but it must be at least 5 years

"It just reinforces this notion that the United States is increasingly going backward on the energy transition and on top of that, is very willing and able to deploy military forces to achieve that goal." Interesting on Venezuela, China, the US and oil > edition.cnn.com/2026/01/08/c...

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

@charlieedmunds.bsky.social are you near there??

If you'll permit me a first world whinge: Why do estate agents not insist that the property is empty for viewings? Is there anything more awkward than trying to decide if you like somewhere and where you'll put your furniture while there's someone sitting there stroking a cat and watching you?

I do feel like Tom Hiddleston, attractive as he is, is extremely one-note. Like he's just playing the same character/himself.

Another Greenland map, this time about its natural resources... "The idea of turning Greenland into America’s rare-earth factory is science fiction. It’s just completely bonkers. You might as well mine on the moon. In some respects, it’s worse than the moon." 👉 www.cnn.com/2026/01/12/b...

Saw this photo at my sister's last night and it's really shitty that we don't have either of them around anymore. I still think, sometimes, that I'll come home and Kaspar will come running to see me.
