So stupid yet so great

If the past really is a foreign country I’m surprised so many right-wingers want to live there.

I’ve co-opted this beautiful spot for the next week, attempting to squeeze an essay out of my middle aged brain @universityofessex.bsky.social

I could watch this for hours

An American word I can’t get my head around: pocketbook meaning a handbag. WTF is that about then?

As an anxious person I am LOVING the Insta algorithm delivering endless videos of ‘doctors’ telling me all the hidden symptoms of various cancers that I definitely have. Do you breathe in and out every day? Then you probably have colorectal cancer. Do your feet have toes on them? Brain tumour.

I don’t want to panic anyone, but I think my rhubarb plant may be planning a planetary invasion

TFI Friday is back on TV. Who decided that was a good idea?

I was about to go to bed but the 1963 The Haunting has just started on BBC 2 soooooo…..

Colchester United handing Accrington Stanley their arse. Plus a shiny bald head, of which there were many.

I can’t get my head around how the people around Trump are allowing him to keep posting these insane rants and exposing his worst inclinations. What’s their game plan? I just can’t see Miller, Vance, Rubio etc. seeing the posts and thinking things are going well.

Orban eating shit would be incredibly good news. That was the Epstein/Bannon/OG alt-right pet project for years and their model for how they want to gain permanent power. If they flip every lever there and still lose, there's real hope.

I like my salad like my poker opponents - obscured from view by a massive fucking pile of my chips.

My morning wake up call.

This fact always mangles my brain. The sheer impossibility of it. And yet.

Ooooh I’m excited to see this pulled down during the revolution

Colchester United just kicked Swindon’s arse 3-0. This is excellent news.

I think Leavitt is the maddest/most evil/most hungry for Kool Aid of them all.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

The world maybe in turmoil, but seeing the UK stand alongside our European and Canadian friends in this statement, exactly where we should be, fills me with just a glimmer of hope for the future…

Woop woop! Feargal Sharkey totally nails it on Channel 4 News just now 🔥🔥🔥 Calling for a REFERENDUM so the public can decide whether to bring water into public ownership With @windrushwasp.bsky.social + anti sewage groups SIGN THE PETITION if you agree 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

I was in Cardiff briefly. I am now no longer in Cardiff.

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

So essentially Iran forced a conditional surrender from the US by closing the strait of a Hormuz, have I got that right?

If the Iranians really want to fuck with us they should offer to open the straights in return for Trump’s resignation.

Please everyone, forget Armageddon and look at this dog

I’ve been on a diet recently but I think today might be the day to eat a whole cake and drink ten negronis

Finally got my hands on a vinyl copy of this beauty yesterday. Happy Aja everyone

Just when I thought I couldn’t love John Waters more

This is, as I believe the kids say, fucking delulu.

The world is a bin fire, but I bloody love rockets and space and the Moon, and this Artemis launch is cool and I’m glad it’s happening and human ingenuity is amazing and more of that please.

The US government are just so NORMAL aren’t they www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

‘A madman’s lilo’ 👏👏

Bastard dog broke my specs in two so will be sporting the ‘Jack Duckworth’ for the time being.

He’s obsessed with his own signature isn’t he, although I imagine he refers to it as his autograph. The evidence of the existence of the Trump death cult is going to take generations to erase, eh.

Instead of doom scrolled, do some deep sea scrolling…

Clive Myrie’s intonation is insane.

I’ve got to write a 5000 word essay on Walter Benjamin, copies without originals, democratisation of image and Hito Steyerl’s in Defence of the Poor Image. Send help 😫

I was never a "Dynasty" fan, but had I known Carrington Manor was a death trap I would've probably watched this show.

Got the day off today, lads

My sister is the director of SNL UK and I am SO proud of what her and that amazing cast and crew pulled off last night. To a backdrop of cynics willing it to fail, they proved that the UK is packed full of exciting new comedy talent, magnitudes funnier than SNL US. Nailed it.

Just been to see Project Hail Mary and I can confirm that it is as ridiculously charming as you’d imagine.

The world’s on fire but at least there’s still blossom and bees 🐝 (for now!)

NB. You're not restricted to sending them their propaganda. The address works for anything

I just logged into Threads for the first time in ages and was met with this. Welcome to the prompteconomy.

I’ve got tomorrow off and Cabaret has just started on BBC4. Good times.

This is going to be one hell of a reveal…
