Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Liam Ramos is a 5 year-old pre-schooler, used as bait to draw his father from his home in Minnesota, then both were detained and shipped to TEXAS. The fear this child must be experiencing. The terror coursing through his innocent little body. I hope these evil thugs know no rest.

did… did rob lowe write this?

Seeing this on my feed has made me finally click open a tab and do something I should've done ages ago -- joined the @greenparty.org.uk Reeves et al don't give a shit about the future health of this world and of the people who will have to live in it. And they think that makes them cool.

Just started reading The Count of Monte Cristo. This Dantes guy seems to really have it made!

You know something? Not enough Reckonings have parts

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Surprise surprise – the myth of the “millionaire exodus” has been conclusively debunked as misinformation spread by those who don’t want to see wealth taxed fairly (because they’ve got a lot of it!) Time for the govt to stop hiding behind this excuse and bring in a wealth tax

rewatching PA's masterpiece STATE OF PLAY, considering it so hard to say something nu abt brilliance of script, prod, edit, has a corner of the internet noted the outsized achievement of the nose-blood of Marc Warren in the series? Looks like the guy was genuinely punched in the face for every take.

Trump take Musk

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... 20 years ago this would have made a pretty good studio comedy. It you wrote it today I feel like you’d have to be very careful not to turn it into a sneering bit of propaganda entertainment for the Worst People on the Internet.

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

[just thinking about a regular-sized brother] life is pretty good! GEORGE ORWELL: do y'wanna see something really fucked up?

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... If it’s true, which I doubt, that Trump was going through checks and balances, following ministerial procedure on a path to intended security guarantees, the *very least* you can say about these galaxy brain dealmakers is that their comms aren’t fit for purpose.

i want you to read the last few paragraphs and see if you're reading the same thing between these lines that i am

Want to know what evil is? It's having $400 billion—and being projected to earn $600 billion more over the next 4 years—and knowing that you could awaken every morning for a month and point to a country and say I will end all hunger THERE without denting your lifestyle at all and instead you do this

‘We have to reset’: Britain’s TV industry struggling in big-budget streaming era

Been seeing some prominent folks, including mutuals(!!!), posting Gen AI “art” of Trump in various states of humiliation. I understand the impulse, but this is abetting theft of labor. Gen AI is founded on organized crime by the tech industry. Please, just don’t do it. It’s wrong.

Ermmm…? #traitors

KEIRBOT 3000 DOES NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN BUT LOOK, MY DAD WAS A TOOLMAKER AND WE HAVE A MISSION TO END THIS TORY CHAOS AND UP THE GUNNERS

Just stumbled into peak Millenial dad-dom. Rare pint out away from baby and pub hifi started pumping out “two doors down” by mystery jets. Cried.

Enjoyed (if that’s the right word) “Anatomy of Lies” but, even if it’s a less proximate Gray’s pun, I do think they should have been bolder and gone with “Diagnosis: Liar”

There should be a special detector on Instagram for when you’re pissed that stops you from commenting ❤️ on your school friends stories (who you haven’t seen for at least a decade) which is just them sat in front of the tv saying “Friday!”

at this time of year, let’s remember the drip of Old Fozziwig in A Muppets Christmas Carol

Think about how much the music intermingled so perfectly with mood in this film several times a month

There are about 15 British citizens with learning disabilities for every UK farmer. And about 7 British citizens with autism for every UK farmer. Just imagine how their landscape for living might improve with similar political support and media interest

Gonna tell my kids this was Che Guevara

Not read the word “pedocon” before. suspect it will become depressingly useful term in the coming years.

I wondered why my cup of black little invigorating lovely coffee tasted weird this morning

Great news for insidious goofballs (the best kind, by the way)

Quite a functional first post [first 'butterfly?' 'flutter'? 'flut?'], but I highly recommend using the Chrome Extension Sky Follower Bridge. It searches the users you follow *over there*, detecting if they have a BlueSky acct, then you can follow them all on here with one click of a button. Nifty.
