Starting September 2026, Google will block any Android app whose developer hasn't registered and provided government ID. This affects all apps, not just Play Store apps. F-Droid calls it an "existential threat." @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

I might be seriously out of line here, but I think Starmer's biggest fault is that he's a bit boring. I remember the last desperately non-boring PM and Starmer is infinitely preferable. The misbegotten neo-liberal agenda is choking all sensible policies though, sadly.

Notable that Reform stooges are beginning to accuse Polanski of doing Farage stuff. Trump playbook.

It's not corruption in their heads, is it? It's just that they do what they do, knowing that the rules don't matter and what's actually important is looking after your friends. But it's still corruption. Trump. Epstein. Randy Andy. Maxwell. Apply the rules.

Neat. youtu.be/DdSqe_2FpU0?...

Perhaps we should send the SAS to go and arrest Trump for crimes against humanity.

🚨The Gov could FINALLY be about to end fox hunting for good, by banning trail hunting. But the likes of Farage are criticising the ban. We need to drown them out: sign the petition now to back the ban and tell the Government to hold firm: 38d.gs/trailhuntingdf

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d... Best news in ages 🙂

@forestfr1ends.bsky.social just realised I don't have a calendar for next year yet. This could spoil my perfect record. Is there one? Have I missed the boat? Panic mode ON

Looking forward to hearing that Agent Orange intends to ban gun ownership as a reaction to the years-long epidemic of school shootings.

Yesterday's attempt by Farage to take the UK out of the ECHR represents a story we're all too familiar with; selling a movement as a lie. Remaining in the ECHR ensures human rights, equality, and a mutual respect across communities, and it's essential that we continue to challenge these lies.

Andrew finally discovers that he wasn't as untouchable as he believed. Other friends of Epstein may go the same way, and not before time. Agent Orange in particular.

Sounds like the remaining handful of tories haven't got to grips with economics at all. Not, I'd hasten to add, that Labour are much better. Less economically inept than the tories is not a high bar and even so they're struggling.

Wise indeed. And -- just so you recognise it -- delivered with the humour that marks good people.

Can we perhaps agree that Farage's Fascists would be a more accurate name for Niggle's bunch of racist arseholes?

What Reform’s “detain and deport” really means: ❌ Sending people to torture and death. ❌ Making the UK a rogue state outside international law. ❌ Higher prices as leaving the ECHR wrecks our EU trade deal. This is not about control, it is about cruelty - we must stand against it.

www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int... Good to know the Israelis' priorities are what they claim they are. Oh. Wait...

Truth and humour in the darkest of times. What's not to love, really?

This.

OK, so First Dog cartoons are maybe an acquired taste. I mean, Australian. However, this one ... matters. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #AgentOrange

If you hear someone from the oligarchy or the far right accusing someone of something, the trick is not to look at the accused, but at the accuser. They're almost always so unimaginative that their accusations betray what they themselves are doing. #AgentOrange #ElongatedRusk #Resist

@handles.club hi, and thanks for my shiny new handle, particularly as my old one was embarrassingly misspelled!

...and the same motivation. Money, and screwing you over.

Well, I think Grayson Perry was really Harry Hill wearing a disguise. #MaskedSingerUK

Agent Orange has been generating toilet paper for future generations, I gather. Someone should mention that it'll take more than that to make the smell of diarrhoea go away. #AgentOrangeDidAThing

I had to share this: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yes. This. But there's a lot to do and it can't be done without finance. Where does the money come from? That thing the government will get in shit for.

Here is my new starter pack Blue Woke and Caring #3 It is filled with large and small accounts all fighting the same goal to protect and preserve our democracy Please follow and share Thanks Foxy 💫✨🦊✨💫 go.bsky.app/Etkcob5

The only discrimination I have any time for is the kind that discriminates against discrimination.

I imagine they would be disinclined to speak against their favourite hobbies.

I think waiting to see what's going to happen may be pretty bloody stupid at this point. They can buy whatever they bloody like, and they've been telling us what they're going to do for some time.

Naturally, if one wants to be able to make things up and pretend they're true and call that free speech, fact checking's a problem. Freedom of speech should not allow the promotion of hate, however.

You should remember, guys, that the one thing bullies and despots can't stand is being laughed at. So keep the jokes coming, always at Agent Orange's expense. Every one of them does something good, and enough of them, spread widely enough, will destroy him. #Twankery#

Cheerfully sharing

I'm definitely bored of Donald Twank already. Are the grownups going to make him go away anytime soon?

Yep. They criticise Labour for not fixing the tories screwups fast enough. Nice.

So when does Alan Sugar take over from his substandard copy? Not that I have much more time for him, I should say, but he at least managed coherence much of the time.

Yep. Necessary to find functional blocks to the elongated orange agent sooner rather than later. These are not diplomats and will not play by those rules. Or any rules.

I can't help but wonder at what point Elongated and his orange sidekick will get bored and auction the US off to the highest bidder.
