WTF is looksmaxxing ? And why is is such a terrible word?

Liz Truss has got this

It’s absolutely time to stop using AI in the creative industries

Wise words As a pleb I know my place.

If the only names on the ballot in Clacton are Binface and Farage, and Binface wins 52% to 48%, I believe we get David Bowie back.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez

Anyone who thinks this guy is the answer …. Is seriously loony

It would be interesting to note which entitled Conservative MPs and relatives have made an absolute fortune with connections to banking and the student loans company over the years !!

Fun I was rubbish 2/10

The insanity of the man and his henchmen for the World to see as the US sits on it’s hands waiting for more fascism

On this day 5th July 1948 the NHS was born. (The Nurse, 1963 Artist: John Berry)

TFL Driving charge system is insane How on earth do you remember an 8 digit account number and a 6 digit pin and an important date. Absurd

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Apparently you can do this with your car on the drive too - use it as a battery

1 million times - It’s insane he is president Why can’t America get rid of him

You DO NOT earn a billion dollars. You steal it. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a teacher, or a farmer. That money comes from underpaying the people who actually did the work. Stop worshipping hoarders who are just really good at wage theft

It’s a shame Disney have pulled out of Dr Who but we know who has money and contacts and could win the bid.

Most amusing Do watch and giggle along people Good luck with the T shirt sales Richard

We need to move on from AI How anyone can think it’s a good thing where art or identity or truth is concerned is crazy

Two books I wrote 15 years apart have been on my mind during this week of extreme heat and UK political turmoil. One on Nigeria warns of the oil age's destructiveness. The other dissects modern Britain's volatility. There’s a strong through-line of exploitation, denial - and better alternatives.

£1 in every £11 spent on UK public contractors goes on private equity - a galling statistic in this excellent bit of reporting from my colleagues @michaelgoodier.bsky.social @c-aguilargarcia.bsky.social and others www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The redundancies at Exeter have come as a huge shock, and with multiple closures of music, film, art, drama and even English departments, represent a new barbarism aimed at our children. Here is one way to fight back. There must be others. www.change.org/p/stop-redun...

Just went to buy it - says I already own it !!! Better find time to read it then

The sums involved in the MPs expenses scandal were chicken feed compared to the Farage £5m. HIs reaction - mind your own business - suggests he may not be cut out for this democracy thing app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73952/...

There's research on how British broadcast media covers Reform. What it found explains a lot about the last few years of British politics. Full episode out now! 🎧 #ReformUK #MediaBias #UKPolitics #BBCNews

Let’s hope the smart speaker goes soon too Love the radio hate the billionaires owning the delivery platform

Fascinating Air to Air pumps might be the future

I disagree too

It's just one long stream of BS from these fossil fuel-backed clowns. Adopting their policies would destroy a million jobs (see next post) while creating almost none in return. Total environmental and social vandalism. The absolute state of "conservatism". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This and NI I simply cannot understand The conservatives have a lot to answer for

Ten years ago today, England voted to remove Scotland from the EU. 96% of Scotland's MPs had requested that all UK nations should agree before #Brexit was carried. The Tories, with 1 Scottish MP, overruled this request. Brexit was a UK vote because England decided it would be.

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Great read Thanks very much

Yet we are still letting right wing nonks dictate our politics

10 years ago today, an advisory vote was given to the people of UK, In or Out of the EU. A simple question with NO context. Lies were told before the vote! Tax avoiding Tory MPs profitted off the vote! Brexit has destroyed our economy, our standing, our trade, our pound, our lives and our futures!

Dominic and Mary are absolutely appalling humans

The whole Burnham thing does feel strangely reminiscent of ‘we’ll just stick Billie Piper’s face in at the end of the ep and work out the rest later’

Andy Burnham's arrival at Euston is being covered by BBC News & others as if it's Lenin arriving at the Finland Station in Petrograd in 1917. Given that he's given little indication of how he'll change government for the better, this seems somewhat ridiculous.

We were elected change …. See me Could do better

Response on X FFS

Shame they don’t explain the differences between a local election and a general election !!

Instagram is also the devils work

He’s like a 5 year old

Ever wonder how private equity works when it takes over your local restaurant, stores at your mall, or even your hospital? Pretty Woman explains it exactly right.

TOMORROW It's so important you join us in London for the #RejoinEU March! See you there! Let's encourage Andy Burnham to do the right thing...

Friends! There’s just *one* place left on the Dream Author retreat in Essex, 31 July - 4 Aug. It’s the best room in the house, with incredible ensuite and views of grounds. You don’t have to be a member of Dream Author to come! Interested? Email: [email protected]

The Obama Center reflecting pool is not green and filled with algae — because the man in charge of it is not rotting from the inside out. Compare and contrast with the Trump —controlled Lincoln Memorial pool.
