I'm so pleased to see that Allison Jornlin is going to be running the Centre for Fortean Zoology in the USA. Allison is good people 😊

Oh you like ghosts? But you only talk about it in October? Amateur.

I find it a little disappointing to come on this platform after what's happened in he UK today and my trending topics are about some stuff happening in the US that has no bearing here.

Hey friends, after the terrorist attack today, remember that you cannot be over cautious when your gut tells you something doesn’t feel right. Just get to safety and let someone know - nothing better than a false alarm if it keeps each other safe.

I've had a tune stuck in my head for ages and ages, I couldn't work it out and it was annoying the hell out of me. It was, and I am not making this up, 'I know a song that'll get on your nerves' by Joe Pasquale. Damn you, Joe. Touché!

Oh this is so sad. What a legacy, though. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9...

Me of 3 hours ago was stupid and optimistic. I just told the cat to be quiet because people are asleep and that little shit looked me dead in the eye and made an even bigger noise. I have not obtained cat powers. He is, in fact, playing mind games with me.

I just told the cat "go to sleep" and he laid down and went to sleep. I've done it. I've obtained cat powers. Fuck yeah!

I can handle spooky gothic mansions, old prisons, and creepy dark shopping centres that people think have ghosts in them they want me to look into. But ladybirds in my house? Fuck no. No no no no no.

Inside of me are two wolves. I was really hungry.

Dominos delivered someone’s food to our house. My housemate took it, thinking it was one of ours orders. It wasn’t, so we phoned the restaurant to let them know and they came to get it and took it to the right house. Good job we didn’t spit on it or touch it I guess? To me this seems gross… 🤢

Have to say I really like the ‘new to you’ feature on YouTube. I’ve discovered so many new creators through it

On a Pink Floyd binge this afternoon, using YouTube as I don't have any physical media to hand. The comments under Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here from people remembering their dead loved ones have got me right in the guts 🥲

TIL people dip the whole slice into the dips that come with pizza, whereas in my family we use the dips just for the crusts... I'm shook.

I have just discovered the show Forensic Files, and there are whole episodes on YouTube, and I'm supposed to be productive today but.... the paracetamol is making me go down a YouTube rabbit hole instead.

I beg your pardon?!

While I am no fan of pharma companies and Tylenol does have some health issues involved with it, the drug has no practical connection with autism and I hope Johnson & Johnson sue the dickens out of RFK Jr. (and Trump once he leaves office).

Listening to music from the Minecraft game while you work on stuff changes everything.

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?” - Tennessee Williams

Someone asked me to help investigate their haunted sofa. Classic upholstergeist.

I've been bitten by a spider. It's not the first time I've been bitten like this - we get a lot of them nestling in the staggered cladding on the outside of our house. Every time it happens though, there is a moment where I wonder if this is the day I develop superpowers. Because you never know.

I've just watched a video of someone using a Ouija board on their own with both their hands on the planchette 🥲

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Is there a way to curate trending topics on this platform to your location?

I'm bored so I'm purposefully venturing into Bigfoot YouTube.

How the 'New Atheists' joined the MAHA war on science. Absolute scorching review of the new anthology from Dawkins, Krauss et al. 🔥🔥🔥 nymag.com/intelligence...

There is no organisation called antifa, it's an idea. What Trump is doing is trying to criminalise *anyone* who opposes fascist regimes, like his. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

I quote this line for line out of the blue sometimes. Classic.

Cat used me as a ladder again. My face was the final step. I am so disrespected in this house.

I am not talking to the cat because he attacked my leg for no reason so now he is just staring at me and is trying to break me psychologically.

Live your life in such a way that, when you die, people directly quoting you does’t sound like a personal attack on your character.

It's raining heavily, there are strong winds, it's cold. Perfect 🥰

Do you think that if we wish really hard on 3I/ATLAS when is passes is on October, aliens will come and save us? Is anyone out there worshipping the comet who can advise? I'm willing to try anything right now.

If you're feeling anxious or worried about not completing a task, if you say "for science" then failure becomes just a data point.

Less than one percent of seats in Parliament. But featured in a quarter of news bulletins. That's some impartiality right there BBC 👀 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/sep/12/bbc-under-fresh-pressure-over-extent-of-reform-uk-nigel-farage-coverage

You know how we clapped for carers during lockdown? Can we arrange, like, a Thursday evening scream? We all just go on our doorsteps and scream at the sky? For our mental health?

I. Want. To. Scream.

Honestly can’t believe I’m in the timeline where a previously beloved children’s author now quotes Mein Kampf on Twitter. 🙃

The theme music for Succession triggers something in me. Like... I don't know. A weird nostalgia? I can't put my finger on why and it is bugging me.

I took this photo of One World Trade Centre last June while in Brooklyn. New York is such a beautiful place. Thinking a lot of the city today 🖤

Hey, today is a very heavy day. I hope everyone is doing okay. And if you’re not, you’re allowed to take a break from things for a little bit.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

re my last repost from @bethanyblack.bsky.social - we played Mr Blue Sky at my mum's funeral, and learning that it says 'please turn me over' at the end adds a whole new angle to the proceedings. She was cremated. The universe is hilarious sometimes.
