What?! Tata had a security breach? You mean like happened at M&S and Co-op and Jaguar Land Rover? I wonder how that happened?

Do the NHS have a special deal for SMS messages? They already spend a horrendous amount on them, but my surgery just sent me a message asking me to sign a thank you card for a doctor I’ve never met. I reckon that’s $500 wasted at the standard commerical rates.

Question, instead of flip-flopping do Australian politicians thong?

My favourite sport is spotting TV presenters who aren’t used to doing live TV listening to their talkback too hard.

I found out that I am coded on the NHS as “Gender incongruence - Major episode” and I’m wondering if there is a minor episode and once I get a GRC is that marker removed?

Chris Spargo’s latest video is brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T59...

I resent the video-fication of podcasting. That's just a TV show. Podcasts aren't supposed to be for hot people. They have everything else

Americans just *love* to get confused about our car system. They simply cannot comprehend a system that doesn’t require hours queueing at the DMV once a year and stupid paper temporary plates.

What’s up with the weather apps saying it’s sunny while there’s a storm outside?

a fairly brutal line from an Enid Blyton I read as a kid that’s always stayed with me: “nothing brings tears to the eyes faster than self-pity”

Wow that is not the announcement I was expecting but good on him

if you don't have anything nice to say about Starmer, you don't have to say anything at all. you can post it instead, it's easier.

I guess crying when resigning must be the hallmark of a right wing politician cause Theresa May did it too

3 month transition? This isn't America? Absolutely not. Stick to tradition - 09:00 Downing St hunky lectern guy 09:30 Resignation speech 09:45 Palace (ex-PM) 10:30 Palace (new PM) 11:00 Downing St acceptance speech 11:15 Hunky lectern guy 11:20 Briefing against new PM It's in Bagehot, look it up.

One the one hand, we should be nicer to people. On the other, Keir Starmer's government has banned me from public toilets.

Reading some of the reports of Starmer's evolving thinking this weekend, it does feel a lot like his team imagined more people would come out in support of him because, well, he must have a faction, right? He's the prime minister.

Anyone know if the BBC Select ident was Lambie Nairn? I mean it has all of the hallmarks of one of their productions, but I can’t find any confirmation. Looks like “do what you did for BSB but on a smaller budget please” youtu.be/gwE7xOI1u2A

So funny flicking between Bluesky, where the main debate on my feed is "is it unfair to call Keir Starmer the worst prime minister ever?" and X, where discussion of the day is whether liberals should accept there are some good arguments for not letting women vote

They really did lmao

The more I see Macron constantly undermine Trump through soft diplomacy, the more I like him.

I’m beginning to doubt her commitment to sparkle motion. (Seriously though, how sad to die of something so preventable)

I miss the Greg Dyke era BBC. Big, powerful, useful, unstoppable.

esther ghey is a bereaved mother and because of that it's not easy to openly condemn how she's treated her daughter in death. but I have absolutely no problem condemning the people who are leveraging esther ghey's bereavement, and her daughter's death, to their own grubby ends

She was murdered by fellow school kids and the internet was her social lifeline. It's so appalling the distortion happening here.

The BBC highlighting other countries with stupid draconian social media bans Vietnam China Indonesia Malaysia UAE What good company.

Turns out Sunchyme would be a really easy “name that tune”. First two notes are so obvious.

Hearing that Russell T Davies stepped aside so Andy Burnham could save Doctor Who

Delighted to fill in a survey for our police and crime commissioner saying “yes I do think you’re a waste of time and money actually”

Turns out Muji do forks for awkward autistic people. (IKEA used to do them)

Waking up at this time of day and seeing the light outside reminds me of my cinema days when I’d head into the dark basement at 6pm and emerge at 3am and not see the night time for several days.

Right so the Apple Event is all the stuff they announced in 2024 but announced again and actually working this time.

I find it fascinating in all the years the Monegasque TV did the F1, I didn’t get to see quite how steep that first straight was.

People operating in grey area of law surprised that they are operating in grey area of law and shocked the government might care. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wonder if there’s other photographers out there who used to love having an SLR and lenses and all that crap and now just use “quality compacts” because they make nice pictures quite easily.

“As soon as you use your new Lloyds Visa credit card, Visa will become an official partner of you” Erm…

you cannot have being transgender as a protected characteristic and call trans women men and exclude them from women's spaces, that explicitly goes against the EA and the GRA and renders the latter completely incapable of fulfilling the purpose for which it was created in the first place

fuck absolutely everyone involved in getting us to this point, trans women are women, trans men are men, non binary identities are valid and sex and gender can both be changed "biologically" if any such meaning can be usefully attributed to that phrase

My Bluesky feed mainly seems to be full of Americans in financial distress asking for money. Which is strange.

I feel like I’ve become invisible.

between Lynn Conway and Sophie Wilson, essentially all electronic devices now in existence were made possible by trans women

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance or do enough to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is not compatible with longstanding British values. @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk and @MarieCGoldman.bsky.social have written to Bridget Phillipson. ⬇️

NEWS! Tony Blair still a thing, apparently

The most British thing about this scandal is the tone of "I can forgive the embezzlement but I draw the line at poor taste" and not only am I here for it but I've rarely felt more patriotic

I had no idea at all what my husband was doing for twelve years that we were at the top of the organisation he was embezzling money from

Not sure I was completely believed when I said that a pillowcase with a flap is called a housewife pillowcase.

He gets a fat shot He gets a Covid shot He gets a shot to protect him from the shingles He gets a shot so he doesn’t eat the Pringles

18th October 2017: Less than 10 years ago there was broad, cross party support for trans people just living their lives. This bigotry at the highest level has been astroturfed into existence in less than a decade. It's a lie. A con.
