List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep 1. Junior parkrun 2. All About Eve (band not film) 3. My regrets on watching Lost to the bitter, bitter end

one thing i’ll always respect Crash Test Dummies for is recognizing that being made to go to weird church is way worse than being in a serious car accident

Incredible news. Actor is acting. Groundbreaking stuff. BBC News - I'm nothing like my Peaky Blinders character, says Cillian Murphy www.bbc.com/news/article...

Incredible qualifying at Baku #F1 earlier. That's the most red flags seen since Prince Andrew went speed dating.

10/10, no notes

Well, this was a nice break in the usual doomscrolling.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Harold Shipman arrested over inappropriate use of prescription drugs.

Gotta remember that a big part of the decline in total fertility rates is the disappearance of teenage pregnancy

There's a human tendency for people to subconsciously give more weight to events in England happening within a period roughly corresponding to 1811 and 1820, during the incapacitation of George III when his son ruled in his stead. This effect is known to cognitive psychologists as the Regency bias.

The desperation by those on the Right to smear Angela Rayner is wearing thin🙄 And no - don’t bother replying UNTIL you’ve read the thread! I’ve trawled through multiple versions of this “story” in the Telegraph and Daily Mail to try and piece together what’s going on! 🧵1/17

ENGLANG FOR ENGLINGSH

I am not sure how much more “discourse” I can take on immigration when I keep seeing stories about British police officers raping, abusing, killing and otherwise ruining people’s lives.

This is like reading an obituary for someone you thought died in 1993. How is this only just breaking news? share.google/WoEyXMt0iWHl...

That horrible feeling that your favourite TV show is trying to tell you something.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker. Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path. Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.

Could I be arrested for buying Intermezzo?

For thousands of years, horses were a central part of practically all armies and their campaigns, culminating in WW2, which was the last war in which they saw widespread use. After the horse fell out of use, we've had 80 years of relative peace They were the problem all along

If you don't know if you have a nemesis, you do not have a nemesis.

Oh my word…. The click bait merchants at the Telegraph are having an absolute field day right now! 🙄 Shall we take a look at the *reality* behind this sensationalist article? Go on, you know you want to! 😜 🧵 1/25 (1/1)

On how a story mutates as it spreads across the British media… The Telegraph's M&S trans shop assistant tall tale turned into a malicious game of telephone... brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/the-telegr...

Good luck to everyone at the OQL Weekender! Happy quizzing. Wish I could be there.

It is also reprehensible for the manner in which it has diluted the seriousness of terrorism, as a concept and a legal designation. If you want to pursue Palestine Action for criminal damage then go right ahead. But they are not terrorists under any normal definition of the word.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes,you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action,seen by two people only There's no public apology. They don't send this to media or post it on police accounts We will continue to fight. We will continue to win.

how does one survive flexing this hard

I think it's cool that the Bayeux Tapestry is coming over here but I really think the French should have Googled the British Museum before agreeing to "lend" it.

At the Lando Stand at Silverstone. We've got Shane Lynch from Boyzone on the decks. We've got half of Phats & Small on the mic. But what's really got the party started is a middle-aged marshal in a bucket hat.

Just sickeningly inhumane. People are forced to take dangerous small boat journeys to flee danger because for the vast majority there is no other way to claim asylum in the UK. The ONLY way to prevent horrific channel deaths is to open safe routes and Yvette Cooper knows this

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

It's the 50th anniversary of the release of the movie JAWS today, so I thought I'd once again share my most successful post ever on Bluesky, the incredible ending to JAWS, the novel.

I found a website where you can specify a tiny bit of dialogue and it'll find a clip of someone saying exactly that for you. I have no idea what to use it for but…

anyway, all this talk of south africa has reminded me of one of the greatest quotes in showbiz history

I can't remember the last time Wes Streeting went up in my estimation.

Incredible work from everyone involved here

The level of surveillance and policing demanded by transphobia will always be more disruptive to your life than the rights and demands of trans people ourselves

The world needs more of this and less of most other things

Rules are rules...

Dracula attempting to move on from a conversation topic

Labour apparently deciding it is only acceptable to criticise court judgements when you do it to demonise marginalised groups rather than defend them.

I've invented a new word. Plagiarism.

@mikefmcc.bsky.social Good luck for the weekend! Hope you have a great run.

Sometimes crime does pay

Forget the nonsensical definitions of idioms, this is what I want Google AI to answer - "can i turn off google ai". The answer is "no" so I'll stick with duckduckgo.

Remembering the ten pledges from LGBT+Labour that Starmer signed up to in the leadership election. Guess what? Starmer lied about these pledges as well

As Keir Starmer does a “trans women are men” media tour today, I hope people think about that time he invoked the memory of Brianna Ghey in Parliament as part of a gotcha for Rishi Sunak. Abusing her memory for PR whilst plotting to remove the rights she would’ve had to live as herself. He’s sick.
