It’s #Caturday so indulge me… An intro post to my babies. Born in March, among 9 kittens from 2 mums, in my friend’s garden. Being allergic, he setup a safe nest outside & fed them as much as possible. I first met them at 4 weeks old. I meant to adopt 1 or MAYBE 2. ⚠️ Brace for cuteness. ⚠️ 1/7

Oh dear oh no... said absolutely no-one

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

we gotta open the schools…or close down the schools. not sure. yikes

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

"We're going to Italy, let's bring our own food!" This is exactly how stupid I thought JD Vance was.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

This amused me greatly 😂 especially the fox painting 😂 Thank yoooo @cheekybudgie.bsky.social

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

Due to MPs' reluctance to leave Parliament while it undergoes repairs, the project could cost £40bn and last 61 years Just 7% of Britons say the priority should be to keep MPs in the building - 74% say minimising the cost should be the main concern yougov.co.uk/topics/polit...

Squirrel was sent off … but came back on. Absolute scenes.

Good excuse to reshare one of my favourite pieces from last year: this brilliantly written and illustrated piece on the folly of “The Line”, which was oddly, hauntingly sad:

The US State Department plans to fund Far Right (and pro-Russia) think-tanks and charities in Europe to promote American policy positions and oppose European online speech regulations, the FT reports. America’s biggest export: fascism.

I’m not sure which I’d prefer (or would prefer to avoid) - sliding down a track on a tea tray feet first on your back, or head first on your front. #WinterOlympics #Luge #Skeleton

Absolutely. The dead, getting up, walking around, eating brains? Patently absurd. #NotThatRomero

Lenny Henry has the goods.

Hardly seems equitable, Claudia got a chat show.

Can’t get excited about another Lord Of The Flies (and I saw the long-forgotten 1990 version in the cinema). Populist stokes imaginary fears to cement rule, and suffers no consequences for it. That’s what we have now and forever (until somebody goes too far) and no grown-up is showing up to stop it.

A real pleasure to meet George Clarke and hear about his experiences growing up on a council estate. We both know the positive impact social housing can have on families’ lives. That’s why I’m determined to continue delivering more council homes as we build a fairer London for everyone.

Great video. The homes are thoughtful, attractive and well designed. Khan is eloquent and considerate. Much more like this please.

This is going to be the worst thing to ever happen on-stage at a TPUSA event.

It's been 15 years since the viral exchange between the mayor of Detroit and a "random dude in Massachussets" which ultimately led to this 11-foot tall bronze RoboCop statue that finally debuted two months ago!

NGL. I would 10/10 buy this t-shirt.

JD Vance getting loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today is exactly why Trump isn’t going to the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Now @michaelspicer.bsky.social’s tweet is in my head.

Haven't seen this angle mentioned, but it's an extraordinary national security risk to have an anonymous "staffer" impersonating the president of the United States, posting racist memes, from his personal accounts, at 10 PM.

“Fuck me up fam!” Barber: “How badly?” “I’m DJing the Winter Olympics” Barber:”Say no more”

The Olympics said don't boo Vance but as Vance is incredibly boo-able, it had to happen

Commentator: And of course the two Olympic flames will remain accessible throughout… Me: Well, of course. How else will Italians light their cigarettes? #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

Yeah somebody’s going to photoshop goatse hands either side of that cauldron aren’t they? #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

#LA28: Three hour extended jam of Kid Rock doing that “Sweet Home Alabama” knock-off while overweight MAGA-hat wearers with AR-15s puff and wheeze their way into formations to create Trump’s face.

I wish I could tell people like me, who first came to Bluesky and felt pummeled by performative scolding, that now it feels a lot less like that and a lot more like that brief window when Twitter was pretty good: useful, occasionally ridiculous, a place to discover new thinkers & writing

Googled, and no pics yet from the actual walk but found an article about them and yeah, this is going in my slide deck for Monday.

THEY'RE MONGOLIAN CASHMERE AND CAMEL WOOL.

Andrea Bocelli’s face has really changed as he’s gotten older. If you showed me a picture, I’d never guess who it was. Looking good though. 👌 #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

Really insensitive to show Philip Seymour Hoffman surrounded by a lot of white powder, too.

I bet every one of them has painted a roundabout #totp

We would prefer if he would sign on as a full time cast member, but agreeing to guest host will guarantee a full series order.

Get Celentano on to do #Prisencolinensinainciusol you cowards! #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
