At the last election my local reform candidate couldn't write properly in English. Maybe sort that first?

"verify your age" Flirting cost me 10p per text.

First volunteering in a while at parkrun!

5 years since we adopted Flick, she's still a little princess.

IT'S WEDNESDAY! It's #buyastrangerabook day! The grooviest day of all. I'll give out TWO books. FOR FREE. If you'd like one, let me know. Also, if you'd like to #BuyAStrangerABook too, let me know. It's a thing! Look. www.biggreenbookshop.com/stuff-you-mi... UK only

Reform’s new violence against women and girls strategy just dropped When I saw my jaw hit the FLOOR - I thought it was AI at first

If literally all of the worst people could fuck off and stop having opinions, that would be lovely.

Labour seems to have internalised the Supreme Court judgment as though it was a damning referendum loss that saw the public reject its position, rather than a plainly incorrect reading of a single point of law

We really need to fully bed in the idea that the default position of someone wearing the Meta camera glasses is that they are a pervert

The Ra in Radar stands for Rabbit, apparently.

Parkrun tourism at Claremorris Parkrun with the parents- thanks to all the volunteers!

When we visit friends, Jim wants to get in the other dogs beds. Even when the other dogs are literally 1/10th the size of him.

Bit windy but having the entire loch to ourselves is a lovely way to spend an evening.

Getting my vote? No. Hoping they knock on my door to talk about this? 100%.

Ask the oil, politely, to shuffle along.

If I were writing the headline I'd have led with the violence part first

Spent the day turning metal into more usefully shaped metal. 11/10, would recommend.

About this time 15 years ago I was sat in a broken down car on a motorway slip road on the way to a hospital to donate bone marrow to a stranger. I didn't find out until afterwards she was 4 years old.

The Scottish Parliament has voted in favour of the first part of a ban on Greyhound racing. Both of ours are ex racers, both wonderful and loving dogs. They love to run, they shouldn't be forced to for gambling.

Let me buy you a book. It will make us both happy.

Shut this horror experiment down.

It's not just my family, other people have shit families I actively avoid too.

Petition to rename Dubai to “the B Ark”.

Me, looking at the Epstein files: IS TONTY BLAIR IN THIS. Oh, there he is.

Most people we hear of leaving the BBC do so either in scandal or for a paycheck. To see it done for principle warms my heart. Having seen, listened to and read plenty of his I can safely say you'll not regret seeing him speak if you get the chance in the future.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

For anyone whose kids need to know why Santa isn't coming this year...

NEWS! Children in Need celebrates raising less than half the amount Michelle Mone still owes the government for faulty PPE

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

This holiday season, give Jeff Bezos and Amazon the gift of zero dollars. 🥰

Anyone up for a game of spicy jenga?

Go see John, he's fabulous live.

Protest once, don't get what you want... give up? This nonsense from the home secretary is authoritarian shite with dire consequences. Sod this.

David Tennant gets bloody everywhere.

Just seen Self Esteem in Edinburgh, my god that woman and her backing vocalists can sing. Epic gig.

Can't believe I'm reading about people openly calling for the killing of the PM in London today. Thank FUCK they didn't back action in Palestine, they might have been arrested.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Just for a second, take a step back, and remember that these are the actions of a 56 year old man towards a 17 year old girl.

Enjoyed @soozuk.bsky.social at the fringe this afternoon- if you're about tomorrow, queue early to get in!

BREAKING: IDIOT SAYS STUPID THING, PRESS REPORT STUPIDITY I guess WOMAN WHO PLED GUILTY TO STIRRING UP RACIAL HATRED DISAGREES WITH SENTENCE isn't as snappy

First game of #RWC2025 and the US don't deserve the scoreline but some absolutely class rugby.

This is also the plan Rowling suggested for taking pics of people they think are trans in bathrooms. It's a scary radicalisation, but the journo and political people seem deadly silent on it.

So if we all go dick about at Trumps golf courses we'll have them shut down by a judge...?

Jim would like you all to have a good morning. And he demands cuddles, too.

The State of Palestine must be recognised now — not bargained over. No conditions, no delays. Here’s why 👇

OnlyMans? Preytreon? MSMen Messenger...?

I want to tell you something about my Doctor Who book. If you open it, you'll find it's dedicated to Katrina. Katrina was a friend of mine with profound intellectual disability, which came bundled with a whole bunch of physical disabilities. 1/

I live near a load of them and, unsurprisingly, am not dead.

What would an illegitimate concern about migration look like or is everything legitimate now?
