Anyone got bingo cards ready for when "unicorn milk" & "sasquatch eggs" turns up in the list of justifications?

Welcome to Blighty Please queue placidly Yes, "old tat" & "hangovers" are essential traditions in our quasi-religious national identity Come see our lovely ancient stink pipes & the boat what will not float

Important to remember this environment favours rightwing politics Hey-ho

I'm old enough to remember when socialists were praising nuclear France for their low energy bills Can you spot the odd one out?

Gather your landscaping tools, for the time of testing mortals is upon us once again, & Deadites seek to destroy the Chosen One Not very s-mart if you ask me www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

The Reform Green emergence seems to me a sign UK politics is polarising in the same way it has in the US It's very much driven by partisan media who are in a race to the bottom for control of the narrative So we end up with zero sum bias at every level & minimal resilience to misinformation

By 49% to 28%, Britons are opposed to the US military action against Iran Net support by 2024 vote Reform: +33 Con: +14 Lab: -45 Lib Dem: -49 Green: -59 yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

Can't seem to quote yougov today Did the poll break them?

Am enjoying Matt Walsh losing his faith very publically Turns out his breaking point is when Trump attacks like minded theocratic fascists

I clicked on one bloody bird photo & now my timeline is a glassy eyed maelstrom of feathered mania like some sort of desperate but terrifyingly exuberant Hitchcock thriller fest

I've been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head that drives my heel It's my baby calling, says, "I need you here" And it's a-half-past four and I'm shifting gear And the newsman sang his same song Oh, one more radar lover gone

Sir Keir Starmer rejects Kemi Badenoch's argument that the UK should have joined in the initial bombings by the US and Israel: “I will not countenance committing our military personnel to action that does not have a lawful basis, that is not a fair thing to do to our serving personnel,” he said.

NEW: Keir Starmer responds to Trump criticism: "President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved with the initial strikes. But it is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest. That is what I have done. And I stand by it."

Got the mutt a new bed last week & she has abandoned all her old sleeping holes for it for 4 days running now 😁

In these trying times it is important to remember that desperation is a British invention

Libdems offering a lot more "hope" than Greens it seems Vote tactically

Trump complaining the UK is resisting on grounds of illegality & therefore demonstrating a better understanding of events than Polanski 🤡

It's a good thing progressive leftists warned Americans off of voting for a Harris administration because otherwise liberal warmonger in the ME or something something... 🙄

When you have literally no idea of what is going on so just make stuff up Typical populist 🙄

NEW: MoD assessment is that the drone attack on Akrotiri base in Cyprus last night was launched before the PM’s statement - ie was not a retaliation for it.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1813

Well that's the plum tree exploded

Stop giving iguanas a bad name Just stop it

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha The tactical vote express stopping near you! Alllllll aboooooooooaaard!

Listen to the radio Talking about the last show Someone got excited Had to call the state militia Here we come again on a Saturday night Oh, with your fussing & your fighting Won't you get me to the ride? Well, I'm flying across the land Trying to get a hand Playing in a traveling band

It wasn't "hope" that won G&D for the Greens imho It was aggressive social media, clever strategy, boots on the ground, & a good candidate Credit where due

Whew boy Verdi corbynites have gone from "We're the tactical vote now!" pre election to "Our politics dominates!" post election in the blink of an eye Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

One french space cat & they will just not stop going on about it 🙄

Still of the opinion polar bears would be more appropriately named as "ice shinobi"

Anyone taking odds on if Nige will be blond by the next election?

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha He posted this himself too

I would very much like too see a video of Reeves telling Badenoch to fornicate elsewhere Does it exist?

The upset everyone is secretly hoping for:

Whew boy US Bluesky has discovered G&D & are very proudly sharing with each other how well they can either brit whisper or not care less Meanwhile... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Yep That's fun

I'm living on an endless road Around the world for rock and roll Sometimes it feels so tough But I still ain't had enough I keep saying that it's getting too much But I know I'm a liar Feeling alright in the noise and the light But that's what lights my fire

Them: Wuthering Heights is a masterpiece of Gothic fiction with a complex narrative structure describing transcendant & obsessive romantic love set against the rigid background of a brutalistic society Me: If the phrase "ripped bodice" is used at any point it's smut, which is fine, but come off it

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1805

Taking his time with some of them, isn't he? Moths & birds both navigate using familiar star arrangements so that's a straight no we didn't

Polanski trying to walk back his anti NATO position is just outright dishonesty He knows it & so do his followers Problem is verdi corbynites are so far down the socialist messiah rabbit hole they don't see the campaign as Corbyn & govern as Greens switch coming their way Well, assuming he wins

"He has neither the decency not the backbone," Keir Starmer said of the Reform leader.

I like how Star Wars eventually adopted the Star Trek model of one celestial body for each thing Ok here is planet Roman, & this is planet Desert, that's planet Hippy Here is planet Ice, planet Gangster, & the moon of Forest The new one is good, a very stylish place that planet French Resistance

Ahead of the G&D result I'd like to thank the media (of all spectrums) for: - Misrepresenting nearly every issue that hits the news cycle - Floating misinformation as if they were party balloons - Making it as difficult as possible for people to vote tactically You useless partisan fuckwits

Everybody's doing a brand new dance now I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now Jump up, jump back Well, I think you've got the knack Do it nice & easy now, don't lose control A little bit of rhythm & a lot of soul Yay yay yay yeah So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

Watching the analysis of last minute G&D polling Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Turns out that up until just now I didn't know what the word "organoids" really means Which is a shame as I might have otherwise bypassed several minutes of sweat soaked terror panic
