if only emma watson were as connected to ordinary people's everyday concerns as the woman who smokes cigars on her private yacht when she's not in her castle

The high street in my city got some of those automatic bollards that go up and down a few years back. Still, to this day, some people appear completely fucking clueless and try and race them, and inevitable end up skewering their car. Always funny. But every so often it’s even funnier…

Hang on. bsky.app/profile/redw...

By all means. You do you. But how about not automatically putting fact on things. Make it optional for people who don’t like it (Me. I am the one person in the world who doesn’t like gravy). (I also don’t like Jaffa cakes either. Fight me.)

Rest in Power Assata Shakur

I read “Assata” about 10 years ago, what an incredible woman. If you don’t know her story, give it a read.

On one hand I’m violent against ID cards and really angry at this insane suggestion from this shockingly incompetent and increasingly right wing government… On the other… I can’t bring myself to get too worked up about it because let’s face it… it’s not actually going to happen, is it?

"This entire process was never about me.. never about terrorism.. it was always about Gaza, about what happens if you dare to speak up... if anyone is guilty of terrorism its the British state" Kneecaps Mo Chara speaking after the case against him was thrown out of court.

YEEESSSS MO CHARA.

Sometimes being a woman in this world is just fucking terrible. But then you read something like this and among the anger there’s a beautiful sense of sisterhood and I fucking LOVE US. Thank you, Katie 🖤

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing. www.science.org/content/arti...

Every. Damn. Gig.

Dire Straits. Gutting. Because in his time he saw The Beatles, Zeppelin, Cream, Hendrix, Dylan. The lot. But by the time I could remember it was the 80s and Money for Nothing.

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

This is terrible. If you don't think it's terrible, remember the British government un-personning Shamima Begum, and then picture Farage & Tice with that power, using AI to comb through your social media history looking for a reason, egged on by that feckin harpy, Oakshott.

why can't AI piss on my behalf that's the real question we should be asking

Mo Chara for all three please.

Queen

I hate you for what you did. And I miss you like a little kid.

Just sent an email and didn't notice I'd typed "affect" instead of "effect" until I'd sent it. Now I'm just glaring at it hoping it will magically change. It's not like a text or a post where you can drop a quick *[correction]

I... um... don't think that's right.... I've listened so many times just in case it was a play on words but, there's definitely a "d" in there...

CSGB 👊

Obviously not the most important thing to be thinking about. But... I have TODAY discovered that Harrison Ford is married to Ally McBeal and my mind is blown.

Hello

Kitty knows that ACAB.

Stupid walk for my stupid mental health.

Needless to say that London is an attractive place but I'm sorry to say I'm not enjoying myself here.

We now live in a world where KnowYourMeme is one of the most credible sources available for discussing a political assassination.

I used to do a joke “my family are so left wing we had an argument and now we’re two families.” You can’t do a right wing version of that joke, because it goes “my family’s so right wing, we had an argument and the funeral’s on Friday”

Are you shitting me? Fuck them both. What an absolute disgrace.

Fuck all of these people. Fuck them and their bloody money.

Dying. 💚

Something darkly funny about the pricks going "don't politicise this tragedy" about the guy who was literally actively politicising those tragedies when it happened

You know the body has a way of rejecting a bullet if it doesn't really want to be shot.

How the fuck has he managed to be on the wrong side of THIS? Jesus Christ. He’s the worst.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Anyone squeamish about one white guy getting domed hasn’t been paying attention to what’s happening to innocent kids in Gaza for the past 2+ years

I thoroughly recommend #THOUGHTSANDPRAYERS for Charlie Kirk. We know how effective they are…

Worst. Thing. Ever.

you simply cannot overstate how egregiously one has to fuck up in order to unite every side of the aisle in *Seoul*, the seat of maybe the most politically divided & partisan democracy on the planet. I suspected that this would turn into our first *real* diplomatic row over these immigration raids.

This is good; "Minister of Hypocrisy Wes Streeting" "So there we have it. One Irish person is charged with ‘terrorism’ in a UK court for speaking out against violence, while another Irish person is being held up as a victim of unfree speech for speaking out in favour of violence."

This shit defies belief. What the hell is wrong with these people? Watch them piss their pants the next time serious flooding happens and entirely refuse to connect the dots.

Can I please just have the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" treatment please? I'm so fucking over feeling sad and angry.

I think we know the answer.

If you have a secret or hidden phone, the government's Emergency Alerts could reveal your device, even if it's on silent or do not disturb. The government is testing emergency alerts on Sunday 7 September. If you're worried this could reveal a phone, you can follow this guide to turn off the alerts

The counter protest was strong. I joined them to shout and boo at the bullshit that was being said from the stage.

The look of regret.

Finally.
