A childhood favourite. White violets and primroses #Wildflowerhour.

Amazing vox pop on the 6 o’clock news. Woman buying fish in Waitrose: ‘I won’t buy mackerel if it’s being overfished’. Reporter: ‘But you’re buying it now’. Woman: ‘Well, it’s already dead’

okay, here it is, the five key takeaways from this by-election: 1. Denton Kebab House 2. The Crispy Cod, Denton 3. Reddish Tandoori, Gorton 4. Cottage Chippy, Gorton 5. The Continental Takeaway, Denton

@in-otter-news.bsky.social Sorry to drag Steve into this.....

So much that could be said on the 4th anniversary of the full scale invasion, but it all just boils down to the ultimate admiration for Ukrainians who have endured so much, fought so hard and deserve victory, peace and prosperity. Slava Ukraini!

Anyway I couldn’t care less about reach or influence or whatever. If I did, I’d be on TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and Substack. I currently enjoy this place because I like seeing witty, insightful people post text-based stuff & joining in sometimes. Also pictures of pets. I don’t want to talk to Nazis

A bumper #Wildflowerhour from me and it stopped raining!

@oliahercules.bsky.social will cook borsch tomorrow on #SaturdayKitchen 10am live on #BBCOne then at #BBCIplayer. She asks us please to spread the word, especially among 300k strong displaced Ukrainians in the UK+hopes this will be a good boost of morale. #standwithukraine @nigella.bsky.social

My son has decided to take up skeleton luge.

post @dieworkwear.bsky.social's excellent idea, if you prove with a screenshot that you've donated to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, I will give you one (1) recipe of your choice. Only one per day but I will get to them all. rnli.org/support-us/g...

I just had to lie to my wife about why I was tearful. It was because I'd been reading the Wikipedia page about Catherine of Aragon. What that woman went through. I had no idea.

A scammer just tried exactly this on me via WhatsApp. Glad I saw a post here recently outlining the scam - it would be very easy to fall for. The “hotel” account had an unconvincing name, but they had my name, number & reservation dates. lifehacker.com/money/hotel-...

This is an excellent question for @thetimes.com. What would be the threshold racism had to cross for you to recognize it as racism, and not as “racism”?

A straight out lie from Danny Kruger MP at Reform's event today. He said that asylum seekers go straight to the top of the council housing list. In fact they are *banned by law* from accessing council housing. Further details on Shelter's website here: england.shelter.org.uk/professional...

Also incidentally. Can we just take a moment to acknowledge the continued hard and skilled work being put in by officials across Europe who have to be the adults in the room with Trump. I strongly suspect several from the UK are among the most highly respected.

TRUMP: honk honk honk, I'm a big goose. everyone tells me whenever I enter a room, that's the biggest goose I've ever seen and I say yes. I'm a big goose. in a good way. a lot of Somalians are small stupid gooses but I'm a big goose BBC NEWS: a disciplined Trump sticks to the script on the economy

I'm sorry, there'll be more considered commentary, but fundamentally he's just such an asshole.

How I love a misty #Shropshire landscape, with its eerie white silence transporting you into a world of your own. I was standing on the ramparts of Nordy Bank hill fort on Brown Clee for this shot, watching as an ethereal scene unfolded beneath me.

We don't deserve otters...

A story that made me tear up a bit. A couple of brave bikers and the baby they literally saved from burning to death

Things that aren’t as popular round here as the other place are hate, racism, CSAM, nazis and ICE.

#Wildflowerhour. Bumper week of spotting hardy souls. HNY everyone!

“and in other news, President Trump has ordered the bombing of Venezuela” “Caracas?” “not according to his doctors”

Amazing pod of dolphins off Berry Head today. At least 60 individuals but probably nearer 200. I think these are common dolphins but bottlenose also possible

Morning all! Ivor remained asleep until 6am, bless him. Just had a look and we tipped 20k, which is magnificent. I’m going to repost some pix that I missed while slumbering. Thank you thank you #DuvetKnowItsChristmas www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

Christmas eve tradition survives....

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

In my school mums WhatsApp group one of the Muslim mums is helping one of the other mums assemble a last-minute Christmas Eve box and this is the country I am proud to live in and share x

A reminder in advance of everyone descending upon their relatives next week: the best thing about Old Twitter — @rhodri.biz #DuvetKnowItsChristmas — has moved to Bluesky. Post & hashtag your pics of having to sleep in the bathtub/beside the ironing/with the dog, and raise money for the homeless ♥️

Money Box Live tomo is looking at blended family finances. How do you keep things fair when you have step siblings, half siblings, full siblings and other parents paying for stuff too? I want your comments, experiences or questions please - I can just read them out. [email protected]

LANDO!!!!#F1

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: we all need to be reposting jokes more
