Or why was he dressed like Blanch from the Golden Girls. I believe this image was dug up by the Independent.

This is the person who is now lecturing us about MPs safety... He doesn't understand Irony, does he?

Boris sharing articles referring to Ed Miliband as the worst possible choice for Foreign Secretary. A reminder that when Johnson was foreign sec he was busted getting a blow-job under his desk, had Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe jailed in Iran & got drunk & "accidentally" attended a KGB house party

Bear was never taught this, it's something he's learned all on his own. He knows Honey is deaf and is always looking out for her. They were all adopted from a shelter after originally being rescued from a puppy farm. TT: @kellydinham

As Ed Miliband leaves his post as energy and net-zero secretary, a final tally: There have been an incredible 251 newspaper editorials attacking him and his approach to net-zero since the start of 2024 That amounts to two editorials a week, mainly in the Sun, Daily Mail, Times and Daily Telegraph.

@cstross.bsky.social Were you in Dorset recently? I think you left something behind .

When you realise you’re allied with The Heritage Foundation and Amnesty International are your enemies.

@rhodri.biz shall we claim him as almost one of us ?

Ontario jails are using an AI tool that claims to predict prisoners’ behaviour. And it’s disproportionately placing Black prisoners in maximum security. An investigation by @desmondcole.bsky.social reveals the province knew the tool would discriminate against Black people—and used it anyway.

The Roman Town House in Dorchester . Beautifully preserved mosaics on situ , and the town house is apparently the only fully exposed example in Britain . As I’m from Chester, I’ve always been interested in Roman colonial archeology and never pass up a chance to visit sites when nearby.

Nigel Farage; loathe him or hate him - you certainly can't accuse him of being honest.

"Reform UK platformed and celebrated a woman who publicly called for hotels full of asylum seekers to be set on fire. Yet the moment Nigel Farage is on the receiving end of hostile language, we're suddenly told words matter after all." via Truth Against Hate

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

This comment is why Bluesky exists. THS THDPSSSSPS!

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

A reminder that this is the guy we're all now supposed to be listening to on the subject of the safety of MPs

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social doing the handshake with @mrmmarsh.bsky.social and the GamCast team over reviewing the worst movie ever .

It’s not politically toxic! A few weird cranks have decided they don’t like it and for some reason the media repeat their tedious crankery morning noon and night.

Alastair Campbell: "No he is not. Farage, finally, is being treated as a politician rather than a cheeky chappy commentator. He got away with so much for so long he thought he could do anything for ever."

Almost exactly ten years since this absolute banger from @astrokatie.com

I reckon the threat to Farage is about 100th of that directed at Diane Abbott but his performative whinging is 100x greater.

Reform's Zia Yusuf had claimed the state was "providing no protection whatsoever" to the party's MPs. In fact, Nigel Farage had been offered a package that would have given him the same level of protection as Kemi Badenoch - but he turned it down.

“Alexa , play American Idiot album.” “American Idiot , 20th anniversary edition, now playing” “TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY??????” *Puts on varifocals to check, hearing aids to listen better , and pops an ibuprofen for the osteoarthritis.

You might need this little soapstone carving of a whale today… (1200-1600 CE, Chumash culture, California, held at Musée des Beaux Arts, Montreal)

The thing about Kemi Badenoch's purge of any Conservative member to the left of Enoch Powell is that she's so close to a Tory revival if she only realised it. All she needs to do is to lead a party that is not obviously mad and wait for Reform to crumble, but she can't even manage that

This is a rather lovely eulogy to Sam Neill 🥰

If you can’t stand lukewarm heat………

Telling your followers to burn down hotels with asylum seekers in them is "hurty words". But Dan Hodges doing a few tweets is grounds to call the police.

I know there's a whole genre of right-wingers coming *𝙨𝙤 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚* to getting it before fumbling it at the end and missing by a mile, but this one is off the scale.

When you’ve lost Dan Hodges

It worked in 1930s Germany, it works in Israel and in Trump’s America but Britain isn’t a fertile ground for this nonsense. We don’t like whiners, we don’t like martyrdom and victimhood being used as a bolt hole by bullies. We see through it.

And yet Farage et al all celebrated Miss Connelly, even invited her as a special guest to their convention, after she pleaded guilty in court to inciting violence, calling for ppl to set fire to a hotel full of brown ppl. That kind of violence is OK.

Aren't these the same people who like to use the word "traitors" for any politician who dares have a different view to them?

Reform and their supporters now trying to reframe all journalistic scrutiny of them as being dangerous political attacks, bordering on terrorism. A preview of what we could expect from a Reform government

Lovely.

There is news I do not like to share. RIP Sam Neill. The New Zealand actor has had a prodigious career, notably in sci-fi. How could one forget his role in Event Horizon (1997)? But also Bicentennial Man (1999), Thor: Ragnarok, the Jurassic Park series, or his appearance in Invasion (AppleTV).

in a world of Lindsey Grahams, be a Sam Neill

Oh my heart. We've lost Sam Neill. :(
