When a US YouTuber reacts to a question about if they support Trump or not with not only refusing to answer the question but with anger and outrage at even being asked... There's your answer right there.

When the thing you didn't want to go to has been postponed! Yeah, I get my Sunday back!

Conspiracy theorist upset that they are the target of a conspiracy theory. 2025 is going to be an interesting year for MAGA.

If you, or someone you know, is likely to be struggling this Christmas, this link has a load of useful contacts. www.mind.org.uk/information-...

Mercifully, mine have avoided this fate by virtue of being in a relatively overlooked fandom.

Discussion on Threads about why do so many video games have to involve killing and why can't we just enjoy our cosy games and... Nowt's stopping you playing Sims, Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, whatever. Just leave us murderous reprobates to our killing fields in peace, yes?

:( All I wanted for Christmas was Bukayo Saka healthy.

Advice to anyone who wants to be seen as a moral arbiter. If child abuse claims regarding an employee of yours are brought to you, ACT ON THEM. It's not exactly a great leap of moral thought to conclude that grown men trying to have sex with kids is bad, is it?

Oh this is VERY amusing!

Lads; I see some of you tryna chat this bot up as if she's real The picture is nicked from Business Insider. It's a scam bot.

I work in a team of five. Boss is cool, worked with him for years. Colleague 2 is entertaining enough to be worth the hassle. 3 is a fellow NDer and great. And then there's Number Four. Oh my god, number four is irritating. I will celebrate the day he leaves this organisation, stg.

Do Quakers celebrate Christmas? It depends which Quaker you ask, of course, but here's a blog post I wrote about some reasons why, even though we traditionally don't keep the liturgical year, we might choose to. brigidfoxandbuddha.wordpress.com/2016/12/12/f...

I am all for this action. I'd also suggest emailing the same to [email protected] *at a different time* ie not as a part of the blockade. Please use your own words if you can.

‘Arsenal play away at Valarenga in the UWCL tonight at 5.45pm UK. The match is being streamed live and free on the DAZN website. Full match preview 👇🏻🔴⚪️

Love Actually this, Die Hard that - the true Christmas movie is obviously Muppets Christmas Carol.

Chris may have just saved his #strictly run.

Oddly enough, “stop running down the public services in which they work and stop hateful misinformation campaigns against them just for doing their jobs” does not feature as a proposed solution.

Less than 10% of power in Britain currently coming from fossil fuels. 63% from wind (as you'd probably expect). The dunkelflaute is over! grid.iamkate.com

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Anyone insisting we have to welcome conservative "thinkers" are the ones that either truly live in a bubble or are actually conservatives. I don't need to hear any new justifications they come up with to ruin everyone's lives with their nonsense. I've never gone a day without hearing it yet anyway.

This is fabulous! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

boosting the Cisgender Women Against Bathroom Bans petition again, please sign and share if you missed it the first time around! It’s at a little under 8,500 signatures now and we would love to try to get it to 10,000 by the weekend! actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

I want to thank the entire team of gender identity healthcare professionals who, over many months, put together TransLucent's response to #Cass. I am delighted to confirm LGBT Consortium (with over 650 members) 'support and endorse' our report. translucent.org.uk/responding-t...

"The evidence suggests that either the desire to drive audience figures and engagement is now overly dependent upon inviting guests who specialise in generating polarising controversy, rather than engaging in nuanced respectful debate..."

Good morning all! ☕️ This morning, I have a request. I’m excited about the pro-EU community rebuilding on Bluesky with so much energy happening here. It’s *perfect* for what we need to be doing in 2025. Therefore, could you please follow these local pro-EU groups …and yes, I will make a list.

Whamageddon. You spend 24 days depriving yourself of a decent Christmas song and for what? Likes? Paul McCartney's Xmas effort was right there if you wanted something actively unpleasant to avoid, but no, it had to be Wham. Anyway if you want to bite the bullet, here it is: youtu.be/E8gmARGvPlI?...

Farage here arguing for us to join the EU I see. You know, as he's clear that we're too weak to do things on our own now. But the USA is no good because Trump is open about putting America first. The EU puts the EU first. We can't join America, but we can join the EU.

Sometimes I fear for the state of the country and then things like this come my way and I feel rather more optimistic (tw:swearing, mention of the Orange One):www.youtube.com/shorts/8KE8Y...

Keir Starmer, "We will rebuilt our ties with Europe too" "The shocking legacy this government inherited in so many areas, from the nation's finances to the NHS, extends beyond our shores" "They turned their back on the world.. Demonising international courts, which this country helped to create"

If you're gonna go bad, go completely off the rails about it.

ARSENAL COMMUNITY HELP FIND GAV Please contact George on X if you have any news

The plan is to improve healing. The quiet part they always tell reporters is that there are people who can't work, for one reason or another. They're not pretending otherwise; they just don't add in those details on these broadcast set pieces because it's not what people want to hear.

What is the point of me going to all the trouble of blocking MAGA/fash/TERFs if progressive outlets are just going to verbatim quote them anyway? Don't wanna hear 'Farage is gonna be PM!' What I do want to hear is how to stop it and/or why they're wrong.

I finally had time to troubleshoot my problems with creating a starter pack. Turns out the creation process lies about how many characters you can have in the description. Sigh. Anyway: here's the Authors of Lesbian/Sapphic Historical Fiction starter pack, as promised! go.bsky.app/L8soCJ6

We also need to remember that the allegations are historical, meaning they would have been a damn sight younger when it happened. The middle-class ones are the ones who can afford legal advice.

I mean, he's not wrong.

He thought he could throttle our accounts, suppress our posts, force his insane views on us & just get away with it. Boll**** to that. Welcome to BlueSky everyone

Right, not a heavy drinker but think I need wine after that...

SAKAAAAAA!!!!! 5-2. It's only the first half! Not sure I can do another 45 mins of this.

Kinell and Why?? 4-2 wtf.

Had a choice between watching Arsenal men v West Ham or the Lionesses vs USA. Went for the Gooners. Absolutely correct decision, no regrets, this is a cracking match! #coyg

When you write a scene involving Two Big Bads Having a Showdown with each other, go to bed pleased... and realise in the morning there is insufficient monologuing. And they both do love their monologuing. Sigh. Rewrite time. (Miraak and Solas in the same fic. Mistakes were made lol.)

😂😂

“Say again” - I wasn’t listening “Pardon?” - I didn’t hear you “Eh?” - What are you on about? “You what?” - What the hell are you on about? “What did you just say?” - I might have to fight you “I beg your pardon” - I might have to challenge you to a duel

The Secretary of State commits to the first ever Men’s Health Strategy. Fact... Men tend to seek help for their mental health less than women. They are also more likely to die by suicide, with men accounting for three of four suicides. This is good news as #MenMatter 🧍‍♂️ www.gov.uk/government/n...

Heidi Alexander’s appointment as transport secretary means the cabinet is now 100% state-educated for the first time in history - great stat from @georgeeaton.bsky.social

Thing I don't miss about Tumblr: a certain kind of preachy US leftist whose praxis basically involves lecturing all and sundry that 'that you have to do this and that or else...' and half the time this is a US specific problem. Not seen that here. Don't miss it!
