Clocking out for a bank holiday wedding weekend.

BBC inflates a few cases into a trend while LGBTQIA+ asylum claims are rare and often refused. It shifts focus away from exploitation by dodgy advisers and instead fuels stigma, making an already hostile system even harder for people genuinely seeking safety. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rural Community Network’s Policy & Research Manager will be speaking at an OECD CFE workshop on Rural Communication today at 2pm (UK time). The session will explore how governments can better engage with rural communities - and how messages are received and understood. www.oecd.org/en/events/20...

Please remember that every good take and well-executed argument you've seen from Tucker Carlson on Israel is an already-established leftwing position. Don't be "surprised to be agreeing with Tucker Carlson!", he's merely agreeing with us.

I'm probably at the point now where even if we win the Champions League (don't laugh), I'd still get rid. None of the players have any idea what they're doing or what system we're actually playing. But for Mamardashvili, this would be an embarrassing scoreline.

I can't wait to hear certain politicians falling over themselves about this no-go area in the UK where religious extremists enforce dress codes and ideological purity... wait, what d'you mean that's not how this works?

Holy fuck they actually did it

The real reason JK Rowling is comfortable with her choice is that she shares far more than a "single opinion" with Donald Trump. A persistent myth that needs to be pushed back against is that Rowling was ever the character she pretended to be on Twitter. She's a conservative activist. Always was.

Impressive commitment to the bit from Translink and the 11e this week. Still 15 minutes late every day despite traffic at about 10% of what it normally is at 8am.

Sure, the officiating's been woeful and we've been unlucky at times, but we fully deserve to be behind.

At the point now where if I came home and found Chiesa in bed with my wife, I'd stand at the door just to make sure they weren't disturbed.

Being a parent is basically texting each other, saying, "I hope the kids aren't assholes today." until one of you dies.

Well, if the tyre fumes don't get ya... It's been a goodyear all round so far.

I understand the urge to engage with a certain permanently online convicted stalker and kidnapper when he posts something designed to antagonise. But his opinions on football - or anything for that matter - hold zero weight. You're not owning him in the QTs, you're putting money in his pocket.

Crazy idea, I know, but maybe we could reduce our dependence on data centres AND meat consumption? (Like, this argument used in support of AI, is stupid whataboutism, but on its own makes a good point about the destructive nature of the beef industry).

There might be other No. 2s in our history who've won as much or more than him, but none can lay a glove (hey, oh!) on just how vital Kelleher was to some of those trophy wins. Go raibh míle maith agat, Caoimhin.

Stumbled across a clip of Robert Jenrick chasing Tube fare dodgers; comparing it and public drug use to "weird Turkish barbershops." Apparently, the front line of British law and order is people not tapping in and foreign small businesses with warm towels.

Happy to hear that no one lost their life in the chaos in Liverpool; a miracle. Hoping now that everyone who was hurt goes on to make a full recovery. Those who chose to share distressing videos, spread rumours, or try to twist the tragedy for their own narrow agenda, give your heads a wobble.

Me looking at Leicester's pitch.

The first person who tried Uncle Ben's.

D'you ever learn or even realise something and think, "I must've known that! That seems so obvious!"? Just had one of those moments when it dawned on me that 'adios' broken up is 'a-dios'; literally 'to God.'

Walking across the road behind a stopped bus and someone nearly knocks me down by reversing away from the bus via the inside lane. Impressive.

Slot's gotta be starting fringe players more often 'cause a mixture of complacency and tiredness has set in.

We're eleven clear thanks to being eleven points better than everybody else over 30.5 games. Luck doesn't come into it

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.

Jesus, @adamclery.bsky.social, it's bad enough you made me happy about yous having won on Sunday, but I'm actually crying here. This is beautiful.

Meta Business Suite's own troubleshooting site being several years out of date is entirely on brand.

Picked this up this morning at a car boot. Notice how it refers to #Liverpool in the bottom left corner....?

Doctor Who and its woke agenda! Never had this in my day! Oh, no. Wait. This scene's almost 20 years old. As you were.

When people talk of snowflakes and of the permanently offended, it's these unevolved Nazi cucks who should be top of every list.

I love how they’re trying to look like Stern Men Of Destiny but just look like two toddlers at a wedding told they can’t slide across the floor until after the bride & groom have their first dance.

Seeing Labour voter's with buyer's remorse makes me think about how many Labour fanboys got really angry at me for this video, but if they'd actually listened to what I said instead of attacking who I am they'd look much less stupid and malicious than they do now. youtu.be/svNs2x9pgdA

The league trophy may not yet be draped in red ribbons, but Liverpool’s grip on it grows tighter with each passing game. The question now's no longer if we'll be crowned champions, but when.

These disgraceful scenes represented a massive operation with huge delays for people moving around the island. This is the latest escalation from the Irish Gov and their war on a ‘shared island’. For what? For two people out of thousands be denied entry? [1/4] www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/two-...

Looking forward to setting sail on the new Stena Line Megazord.

That's the best trip to Paris since the Rugrats went back in 2000. Worked out even better for us than it did for Tommy Pickles and the gang. #Redsky #Liverpool #PSGLIV

The odd family aside, Monday morning sailing from Belfast to Scotland attracts a very particular type of punter.

Having this title wrapped up just in time for the #Arsenal game would be the icing on the cake. A threepeat second place finish. Someone else capitalising on City’s downfall. #Slot winning the league in his first season with a #Klopp team while #Arteta has nothing to show for the last five years.

There's a banality to evil, and this prick sums it up perfectly every time without fail.

Overnight oats. Except you've no porridge, so you use your child's Ready Brek instead 'cause it's basically porridge. Just don't. That shit absorbs fuck all and is about as bland as a Jimmy Carr Netflix special. No matter how much fruit or flavoured yoghurt you chuck in.

Still laughing that we turned up to the Etihad, parked the bus, and Guardiola didn't have a clue what to do about it.

11 points clear with 11 to go. It's over. Nowhere better to make that statement than at the home of 115 FC. Manchester. Is. Red. #LIVMCI

I've been saying for weeks now to any poor bastard who'll listen that we all need to calm down 'cause for us to be picked off, whoever chasing us has to be capable of picking us off. Me after hearing @robbohuyton.bsky.social saying the same thing on last night's @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social:

Working class is when you use power tools, doesn't matter if you're an independent trader earning 40k a year you'll always be infinitely more working class than someone in a office earning minimum wage because reasons (these are likely significantly rooted in sexism).

Always this. This was true in 2016 and it is true today. Be more like Spain — stop pandering to the extreme right and make the positive case for immigration. It’s a wonderful thing culturally and an economic necessity

Blaming the left for the rise of the far right instead of the centrists that have absorbed their policies and rhetoric and shifted everything rightward how very Guardian

"I binned it 'cause of Nazis" might be the greatest thing anyone's ever said on a @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social show. Well in, @ianrsalmon.bsky.social.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt
