late to the party here, but when did @twit.tv change from saying "netcasts" to podcasts like the rest of us plebs?

I'd say they can't hear James in the back, but that's because they enhad their fingers in there ears and their heads up... In the sand... Since 2016, and will never own the disaster Brexit has been and was predicted to be.

Weak, weak, weak. This appeasement must end. Starmer should be uniting with our allies against Trump's threats, not splitting off to suck up to him.

Having just started a new job... 100% this

Found a way to do the straight ally flag for my mini gate crushers series. Was quite the challenge working with those tiny stripes, but i'm happy i've managed to include it.

My wife just sighed a said "Your a white man of a certain age of course you had a fucking podcast! 🙄"

Roses are red Nazis are lurking Beware of them here because

#AchievementUnlocked worked it how to use them 'classic' drip coffee pot coffee maker to change the water/coffee/filter and make a fresh out of coffee for the office. I had a cup of tea while I was figuring it out, obviously... I'm not a barbarian 😆 ☕

Today has been a collection of small wins at work ✅ Find good tea (then coffee, in that order) ✅ Find the nice bathrooms they don't tell gen-pop about 😄

The biggest contributor to copyright infringement is calling work "content". Work has value, but content does not. Since it has no value, there's no harm in infringement, right? We need to go back to recognising - and paying for - the value inherent in artistic works.

Great! Now show us the evidence. Because so far you’ve point blank refused. Which some might think looks a little suspicious.

Liberal Democrats have urged Reform UK MPs who receive payment from X for their posts to donate the money to charities working to combat sexual exploitation, after the site was flooded with AI-generated sexualised images of women and children. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

I mean you say that, but we straight up said Brexit was the biggest act of self harm and the UK couldn't count on the US over EU anymore... And we still put that gun to our head and called it patriotic

I'm no expert on US law (though that doesn't seem to stop anyone these days) ...but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like some bloody un-moddifiable D&D saving throw FFS

Except when they question Nigel Farage☹️

This is a real photo, but I never realised just how much Chequers looks like something a not-very-good AI image model would generate.

This confirms our worst fears. Labour want to divert taxpayers money from our public services to pay for their mandatory Digital ID scheme. The Lib Dems fought against Labour’s ID plans before and won, and we can do it again.

Why is Starmer's Number 10 refusing to rule out British bases being used in a US attack on Greenland? What a disgrace

"The moral purpose of civilized society is to prevent the stronger from attacking the weaker. The US was founded on that principle" No it wasn't USA was founded on principle of expanding west - breaking the British Royal Proclamation of 1763 to stop Indian wars www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A bespoke customs union with the EU is the single biggest lever the government has to fix economy and tackle the cost of living crisis.

What right does Denmark have over Greenland? Well it's been part of the Kingdom of Denmark since before your country even existed, since you were part of a kingdom. So if you want to go back to one man claiming countries 🤷🏼 Repeat after me, in Europe 1000km is a long way 100 years is not a long time.

Can't believe Stranger Things ends with them switching to Pathfinder

I think FIFA must rescind Donald Trump’s FIFA inaugural peace prize or I think the reputation of the FIFA peace prize could be severely compromised and it will be seen as just a sycophantic bauble - poor FIFA

Please tell me this is more complicated than "mummy she took my peace prize, so I'm going to take her country"

"it was dark, due to a certain competence we have, it was dark... We call it night time" how does this man order the opening of curtains let alone international crimes

The president of a country like the US should be careful saying that possession of 'cocaine, machine guns, and destructive devices' is reason for rendition and arrest ... Aren't they the main lobby groups? 🤔

Yes, it's almost like – hear me out – it's a bit more complicated.

Thankfully, only good things have ever happened to countries the US forces regime change on...

I'm seriously starting to question FIFA as an authority on world peace... Controversial, I know.

Right who had this on their 2026 bingo card? Wait... Why are you all burning your bingo cards?!

I can't believe a FIFA peace prize recipient would do this.

Days like this are a stark reminder that the UK undertook Brexit at historically the worst possible moment. Bloc politics is here to stay and fiddlearsing about with 2mm advances towards smoother customs arrangements with the EU is not the leadership Britain needs.

Nothing sets you up for 2026 like finding the heating is off and emergency amateur plumbing is required.

Choking back a grin

Here's wishing everyone a fresh start and a very good run up at '26

It’s worth mentioning, though it’s been said repeatedly: the Lizzie Line carries 1/6th of UK daily rail passengers (not including the Tube) and has already paid off its entire costs. And if HS2 had been committed to, without plans being tweaked every 5 minutes, Phase 1 would be opening next year.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Liberal Democrats would breathe life back into our GP services, with a new legal right for every patient to be seen within seven days or 24 hours if urgent, so that no one is denied care when they need it. www.libdems.org.uk/gps

This is what the entire internet used to be. Just page after page of maniacs putting maximum effort into something totally inexplicable simply because they wanted to. This is what they took from you. floor796.com

@binkybird.bsky.social greetings from the hill on the marshes in the farmstead by the mere 🤓

This year has shown the real impact of practical, values-led policy to deliver change across the country and in our communities.

Surprised to hear the @rigb.org giving weight in old-money feet and stones... Shouldn't science be dragging us kicking and screaming into the heady futurism of the metric *checks notes* ... 1960s... ⌚👀 Annnnny time now

I wish my weight lifting hobby had me doing as much lifting as "slop that works" is doing in that sentence, because it's got to lift a new personal best for this take to make sense.

Just under 10 years ago, Anon_opin could've queued up 1,000 posts for the coming decade saying nothing but "Brexit's going well, isn't it?" And, well, here we are. And as predicted: Brexit's going well, isn't it?
