You need to read this one. ICE detained two observers. The agent driving the vehicle started having seizures. The women asked to be uncuffed and gave him aid. After EMS arrived, the women were still taken to Whipple. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Yes, because this is how you CGI animals into a live performance now… #totp

Daft punk did it better #totp

Oh right "the novel one". Because it's about books. #totp

So, is this "I believe in Miracles II"? Some of the lines seem to refer to the other song... #totp

Oh well. It's not "Love is all around". #totp

Oh, Stay sung in the studio? Great! #totp

Oh thank God, we're back on Thursdays for #totp

Oh, Runaway! I do remember this one, didn't recognise it at first though. #totp

In fairness, this is not bad by the standards of some UK Eurovision entries of the era. Looking at you, Scooch and Blue... #TOTP

We might all be the kinda guy that would laugh at a funeral in 2026 #TOTP

I'm at work. But the moment has been prepared for ! #TOTP

Bopping along to "Maria" and not having anything snarky to say yet.... #totp

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

"The lies this administration is telling about Ms. Good aren’t those you deploy as part of a cover-up. They’re those you use when you want to show you can get away with anything. They’re a projection of power." - @radleybalko.bsky.social

Two countries with very different ideas on what "Bully's special prize" means.

Weird fact fans. Brooklyn vs Victoria. Trump vs Starmer. The first two are 30 min drive from the birthplaces of the second two.

Why is Donald Trump changing his mind every five minutes and saying completely mad stuff an embarrassment for Keir Starmer? It feels like it should chiefly be seen as an embarrassment for the United States.

Never forget: never let anyone else forget either.

Some days , I find it amazing how many people just keep going in a world where the abusers and bullies still reign and the appeasers still appease (and call appeasement being “grown up”) but thank you to everyone who gives us faith when so often the odds seem so stacked against us

I'd argue that the AI wasn't art until it was eaten

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

"Now we both know that police boxes don't go careering around all over the place..." "Doctor Who: Robot" part 4 (1975). #DoctorWho

Meanwhile China gets on with the real reordering of the global economy, the one in which the EU and US are both losing. www.ft.com/content/ab8e...

"pretending we're still a world power" Odd, because these are also exactly the same sort of idiots who told us the Commonwealth would be lining up to support us post-Brexit, and bridle if any lefty suggests we're somewhat diminished since the end of Empire.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Nothing helps me deal with imposter syndrome more then listening to Nerdrotic or Critical Drinker, because two secs of listening to them & you realize - oh, people don’t give a shit about quality. They want their opinions regurgitated to them by an insufferable dude, getting him millions views.

Ok - but he got me to smile by spelling "fuck" p- h - u - k. #totp

No Thatcher ad tonight please, BBC4. #totp

If I was on Desert Island Discs, my fourth choice would be By The Sleepy Lagoon, to confuse people tuning in late.

REMINDER: The Tories refused to get an OBR forecast before their disastrous mini-Budget. That resulted in them crashing the economy, which sent mortgages rocketing. They still haven't apologised.

What a coincidence. I’ve lost confidence in our illiberal Home Secretary. Home secretary says she has lost confidence in police chief behind Maccabi Tel Aviv fans ban www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

George is the bird in the air pump. #thearchers

Can’t wait for the Atlantic article about how the CSAM and Nazi app is still better than BlueSky because it’s a hostile environment for transphobes on here. Something about a cabal of woke scolds again, I guess. It’s not like she hasn’t written the same argument over and over in a bunch of contexts

Only George could apologize to people in a way that sounds like he's threatening them. #TheArchers

Delete. Delete. Delete….

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Tell if someone’s an ass-guy (gender neutral) by holding a buttock up under their chin.

He introduces episodes starting with wildebeest quietly drinking water by the side of an oasis. Chekov's gnu.

Woah, Chatham House here in suggesting European countries consider kicking US troops out of Europe, refusing to refill US military assets and refusing to treat US soldiers if Trump carries through his belligerence. www.chathamhouse.org/2026/01/us-i...

Listening to Beethoven Piano Concerto no 2 (last week on Radio 3). Reminded how much fun the Rondo finale is. (round about 1:23:00 here)
