Waddle this way! The sign-making genius who kept Britain’s drivers (and ducks) safe

congratulations to all the Americans learning what nonce means today

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

trending checks out

Magdalen College School, the independent school situated just off the Plain, is to admit girls throughout the school for the first time. Currently the school is boys-only up to GCSE level, and co-educational in the Sixth Form. The first girls will be admitted into Year 3 and Year 4 in 2027.

Ooh Silent Witness is back tonight!

My body still hates me for running too fast at parkrun on Saturday. I was still significantly slower than the friends I went with though 🙃

Feb 1970: Silver Plated 'AFTER EIGHT' Mint Holder ad from HENNINGHAM & HOLLIS (+After Eight Mints) «Silver Plated 'AFTER EIGHT' Mint Holder»

do not go piggly into that good wiggly

Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs “This isn’t something we are prepared or trained for. We’ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,” school superintendent told me

The pure cruelty of putting a five year old through all this for absolutely no benefit to anyone or anything

Happy birthday Tula-Tu! This petite party pachyderm is 1 today 💖

I am exhausted after a full day of driving and the dog is energised after a full day of sleeping in the back of the car 🙃

While Katie Leung is deliciously nasty as Araminta, it’s quite hard to believe she has two adult children while simultaneously pretending that Claudia Jessie is 23

Not sure if my standards have just been lowered by the previous three, but is this season of Bridgerton actually… good?

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Nooo not Catherine O’Hara!

God help women on the apps

I think about this post at least once a week

Me, increasingly wild-eyed, to my students:

I know that the scenes of the Bridgerton men raking around are supposed to imply that they know how to pleasure women but all I can think about is how many STDs these people must have 🫣

Read @people.com's story of the Tarabishis to the bottom. Then just sit with it for a few minutes and ask yourself what we, as a country, stand for right now. people.com/ice-denies-d...

‘I was simply luckier’: Holocaust survivors warn against forgetting Nazi atrocities

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”

wonder how many potholes they could’ve fixed instead with this money

"getting outside your bubble" is an admirable thing when it means trying a new hobby or introducing yourself to your neighbor or watching an art film but people only want to apply it to "being a little more racist just to see how it feels"

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

Anyway I’m off to London! Don’t think I’ve been there in over a year 😮

Suddenly remembering why I haven’t worn these boots for ages

A message from Scotland to Trump on Burns Night Ye see yon birkie ca’d a lord, Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that, Tho’ hundreds worship at his word, He’s but a coof for a’ that. For a’ that, an’ a’ that, His ribband, star, an’ a’ that, The man o’ independent mind, He looks an’ laughs at a’ that

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them

Doesn’t it make you crazy? Doesn’t it turn your blood to fucking gasoline?

“What hit me was the knowledge that if positions were reversed, he would not do this for me”

If media weren't constantly flogging propaganda the average person would not know or give a shit about visa overstay or think immigration was an important issue at all. There is no evidence in day to day life that this is a problem

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.
