Political debate in this country is just fucking dumb. We need to raise taxes to fix the completely dysfunctional state of our country. These fake "debates" are just a waste of everyone's time.

I wouldn't normally support Aston Villa, I used to work in Birmingham with City and Villa fans, so I stayed well clear, but today, I'm 100% with them. 🇵🇸

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

I love reading the court reports on bailii.org, all life, and death, are there, but this case made me chortle. With friends like that, who needs enemies? www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWH...

There have been some shocking images of today's UPS plane crash, but the image of a battered and bruised, but still largely intact, engine lying on the grass next to the runway is probably the worst. That engine had to have fallen off the plane, in any other scenario, it would have been destroyed.

I see the usual Tory suspects are lambasting Labour for the latest prisoner release SNAFU without once accepting that they are responsible for the prison service being all fucked up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

Panto season has come early at Anfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold booed at every touch, huge cheers when he's then dispossessed. Of course TAA could still have the last laugh, such is the way of football. #LFC

Keep you’re seat belt on in flight, they don’t tell you this because they like the sound of their own voice. Oh and in an emergency evacuation don’t take your bloody bag.

BBC News, International footballer announces 'happy' same-sex relationship. FFS, it's 2025, both Ireland and The Netherlands have had/have a gay head of government. Dear BBC, how is this news???? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Aberystwyth has joined a global network of 350 Creative Cities that have been recognised for their excellence in creative fields across the world by becoming Wales’ first UNESCO City of Literature

No trick-or-treaters for the last few years so I haven't bought any sweets as we end up eating them. This means I am now channelling my inner Hodges, just in case. PUT THAT LIGHT OUT.

I never knew that #BBCQT was such a hoot. Last week the audience laughed at Nadine Dorries, this week they've guffawed at the news that Andrew is now to be known as formerly … .

LOL. Apparently Nadine Dorries is upset that people were laughing at her on Question Time. www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/2557833...

IF Labour do raise taxes it will be treated like a bag of sick in the media but we ALL know we need to raise income as the Tories effectively ruined the economy and Labour's plans so far have fallen short. I guarantee, like many, will not be massively impacted but we will be told we will be...

Had an eyeball sliced earlier to put in a new lens to replace the milky mess that was there. Cost... £0.00 I wonder what it would be if Farage and the Fantasists had their way?

Netanyahu has ordered strikes against Gaza, ending the tenuous truce, on the pretext that Hamas don’t have records of where the bodies are buried. I didn’t see that coming, not. Now that he’s got the living hostages out his only aim is to clear Gaza of all Palestinians. Netanyahu is pure evil.

After a confusing six months, the clock on the microwave is now telling the right time.

Can anyone explain why we need to change our clocks in 2025? I hate it.

Closing down sale. 🤣

I did give subsistence farming a hard think after the kids and I went to see Grave of the Fireflies last month. If I had to, I think what I'd do is rip everything out and sow fava beans. Complete protein, multiple harvests per year + you can till the greens back in to keep the nitrogen cycle going.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

I’m currently watching one of my favourite films, Back to the Future. Now I know the DeLorean was crap, but seriously, how is it that the only way it could outrun a bunch of Libyan terrorists in a VW Microbus was to go back in time?

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Now its those notably underpaid City lawyers and accountants! Is there any well-heeled industry or interest group that has not yet warned Rachel Reeves that increasing their taxes in the Budget would wreck the economy and mark the end of civilisation as we know it? www.ft.com/content/ab17...

Definitely don’t spread this information everywhere.

The Universe’s mission to troll Starmer continues…

When Maccabi Tel Aviv are happy to decent into violence against other Israelis what on earth is Starmer thinking picking a fight to try and inflict them on Birmingham?

Why do we say "slept like a baby"? Babies wake up every 2 hours crying. I want to sleep like a cat, 14 hours, no responsibility and zero regrets. Happy Caturday.

Kīlauea is currently putting an a nice show. If my maths is correct (S=1/2at^2), those lava fountains are about 200m high. www.youtube.com/usgs/live

Over 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation is a national disgrace. Children need safe, warm, stable homes to thrive - when will Labour grasp the nettle on this? We need to unfreeze the local housing allowance and seriously invest in social housing, now.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

As per usual, Jeremy Bowen has hit the nail on the head. While very welcome, this Gaza ceasefire is not peace. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Who decided podcasts should be included on IMDb? Because that's absolute bullshit on a pogo stick.

Abandoned gas station in Glenrio, Texas. One of my own photos, taken a couple of weeks ago.

Surely reciting something like the Gododdin would be more appropriate that some newcomers poem?

Don’t tell her that Beowulf arrives in a small boat!

Stephen Flynn, "Let us not forget that access to aid is essential" "Access for world's media is essential" "Access for investigators for crimes against humanity is essential" "A two state solution is essential"

More two tier justice as man get jailed for doing a gun gesture towards Farage, yet Reform councillor doesn’t get punished for threatening to kill Starmer….. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My mRNA vaccine has given me super powers — it has protected me against Covid. If you think RNA will mutate your DNA, then you are the dumbest smooth brain on the planet.

A strange game. Not an obscure word, and yet according to the WordleBot, 23.8% of the sampled players didn’t get it. So I'm happy with my 5. Wordle 1,576 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
