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?

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

Time spent stripping elderflowers: 50 minutes. Fingers crossed this wine works!

If you're taking the dogs out, keep them cool!

By this metric I'm not white British. Yay! Born here to white parents, but my mum happens to be an immigrant.

Gentle reminder to anyone who needs it today: The more you use technology to replace the things you used to do for for yourself, the less you will be able to do them. That goes for writing, walking, thinking, communicating, making things, and all the things humans used to be pretty good at.

Biggest Doctor Who take: Ncutis wardrobe is the best of all, and they saved the best for this episode.

I just found an A4 print of my two Zaphods picture. If you want it Follow, Like, Repost and Reply with your favourite Hitchhiker's quote. #TowelDay UK only because postage.

Stupid hay. Stupid fever.

Hey @biggreenbooks.bsky.social, As I got a book from a stranger a few weeks ago (thanks @wheatles.bsky.social!) I'm up for buying a stranger a book this week.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

"Island of strangers"? How about we look at what good immigration has brought to the UK, starting with MY MOTHER. She wants to come back to live here again next year, will she be allowed...? She's an economically inactive old foreigner, if we're playing by your rhetoric, Kier.

Walked some greyhounds. 11/10 way to spend a Sunday.

30 mins walk has cooked poor Flick

Coolest part of my day: two birdwatchers telling us to watch as an Osprey lifted a trout of the water we'd just been swimming in.

"So we're now going to have the smoke thingy"- My partner.

Friday nights at mine involve negronis and sleeping hounds.

Detransition Baby is a great, if often uncomfortable in the right ways, read. Someone's offering it to you for free...

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

HULK ADAM SMASHES DIRE WOLVES. Man alive this vexes me, and I am a bit sweary and irritable in this. Enjoy. arutherford.substack.com/p/dire-wolve...

Finally tucking into this from @joannechocolat.bsky.social, so far so good!

Temp: 8°C Rain: Fucking it down That sound we can hear coming down the road: Ice Cream Van.

The Oasis reunion queues have started.

Cheese doesn't belong on pizzas.

Don't use this place anywhere near as much as I should, so enjoy a nice pic of a snoozing Flick.

Tonight's cocktail: pine cone syrup old fashioned.

Any rugby fans on here, the Quins-Bears match on the BBC red button/iPlayer is better than any 6 nations I've watched this year.

Russia literally bombed a nuclear facility on European soil. Last night.

Drinking from my new favourite mug.

The insidious creep of language like this has been snowballing recently. Time to say enough is enough.

Not a bad effort for #DoddieAid this year when for 2 weeks of it we were snowed in. Next year's target: 200 miles.

Parkrun Tourism for a Saturday morning.
