The hubris is strong with Musk but he's not a complete idiot. They will have known that a large number of MAGA accounts will be Russian fakes. A little stunt to piss off Trump and/or remind him he is owned by Musk?

Make sure Ryanair get more than £100 worth of bad publicity over this. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/n...

#OnThisDay in 1859, Charles Darwin's landmark book 'On the Origin of Species' was first published. The work is one of the foundations of evolutionary biology, and one of the most important scientific works of the 19th century. #HistoryOfScience

A billion minutes takes you back to the Roman Empire...puts everything into perspective....

Churu really is miracle treats. Please welcome Carolina (squashed) and Cayenne (squashing), our little spicy babies. And thank you to @perclexed.bsky.social for suggesting chili names.

Been trying to sort the storage unit in our living room in the for Christmas decorations to go up next weekend. So far I have found: 3 lost necklaces 2 lost Christmas craft kits 1 lost pair of glasses 173 pieces of Lego I should do this now often.

I've found my lost boot! Sadly it's been in a bag with other smelly slightly damp shoes for 2 years. Wish me luck rescuing it! 😆

APOPO uses #clickertraining to teach #HeroRATs to associate the “click” sound with a food reward. This motivates them to perform tasks like detecting target scents. Their favorite treat? Mashed banana and avocado! 🐀🍌🥑 #positivereinforcement #scentdetection #animalheroes #remy

Telling The Boy the Christmas turkey is his Christmas present. They weren't kidding when they said the prices would be high this year. 🤯

Me - I should probably be careful and stick to small projects until my arm feels better. Also me - I should really overlock 10m of heavy upholstery fabric raw edges.

Looking forward to Labour's lurch to the left.

Shabana Mahmood's Indefinite Leave To Remain Culture War 3 years - if you're earning £125k+ 15 years - if you're e.g. a nurse, or a teacher Labour's two tier system which rewards high earners and insults those who work just as hard but don't earn as much - really sad to see Labour fall

There really would be laws against having to get out of bed when it's below freezing outside.

There's a takeaway near me called Sixty Nine and everything on the menu is not just innuendo, just full on named after sexual positions. There's a woman with her ~14 year old son waiting for their take away. There is zero way I'd ever had gone somewhere like that with my mum.

Ok. I'm just going to come out and say it. I've skirted around the issue a bit over the years because there's things I like about it but... I just don't get the Beano. Do many primary school kids watch The Traitors? Maybe it's me that's out of touch.

Please, TO GOD, no one tell The Boy about this. I don't regularly regret leaving London but this one hurts a bit.

I *genuinely* knew exactly why it was taken down. In fairness the images I saw didn't have the bottom of the monstrosity visible so looked a bit more demonic immigrants crossing the channel than the full image.

I have had mixed feelings about the Green Party about some policies and spending 6 months sharing a flat with the most irritating Green Party Activist (yes, about 16 years ago. Yes, I can hold a grudge.). You gotta admit though - they are the only party whose world I'd happily live in.

I see the fake Christians are losing it over the Supreme Court ruling about teaching religion in schools in Northern Ireland. They are acting like it's been banned. To be clear, RE will still be taught. Christianity just won't be shoved down their throats every single day in every single school.

The marketing team in Tesco are delighted at the free publicity for their Christmas products. 😆

Genuinely intrigued by who has put this up. Is it a Christmas thing or is it Reform stoking more hatred and fear of immigration? AI slop would be very on brand for Reform.

Still laughing/crying at The Boy declaring is @rdcomics.bsky.social is still doing brilliant comics considering he's "getting quite old now". I pointed out I'm about the same age. His reply? Well, exactly. 💀

Hold the line.

I choose to believe that someone along the chain knew the job wasn't needed and they all just got on with it anyway just to make Reform look stupid. This is talking as an ex Neighbourhood Manager for a council run by a party I didn't hate but I sure as hell couldn't stand the elected members.

Is #R4Tiday really interviewing two anti immigration mouthpieces on the language the government is using? Have they completely given up on balance? I'm sure there are many experts out there on the subject rather than two overly opinionated old white guys.

Omg just interacted with. Trump supporter. Inside my art studio. I was kind, I tried to have a conversation and had to politely end it when they got kinda ugly with me. I don’t usually bring up the one anti-Trump piece of art I have (do r like to talk about him) but they asked directly.

For the first time in my life I'm glad a vote in Northern Ireland makes bog all difference to which party gets into power. I would hate to have to vote in the rest of GB these days.

The cat has found the best spot in the house. Warm and well hidden. 😆

My husband keeps sending me Trump Clinton memes. I can't decide if I'm amused or traumatised.

Got a few regrets, but leaving Tommy Robinson’s Labour Party is not one of them.

You know what I need? I need inspirational stories of people who have been through really crap times and are now ok. Not out of reach, I turned my trauma into a multi million £ business, stories. I want, things were unrelentingly crap and now they're not, stories.

Hungry goose would like to know if you haz snakz.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in. Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

We 100% need a publicly owned, independent media outlet and the best we have is the BBC. What we don't need is a segment on the Dr strikes with someone from the BMA, Wes Streeting sound bites and some random dude who knows nothing but his Drs appointment was cancelled.

"I would like to be close to you. But not too close. You can't stroke me. But I want to touch you." Not that my cat's a bit of a diva or anything.

I need to get dressed and take the boy to school but I'm completely cream crackered. 😴 Could someone cattle prod me?

Reform in Lancashire threatens closing five day centres and five care homes, with “reprovision” forcing disabled or older adults (including a 106-year-old) into alternative support.  🧵1/3

I've just said hello to someone I thought I knew. I didn't know them. They said hello back to me like they knew me. Isn't the human condition wonderful?

Social media is proof that humans should be allowed nice things. I want the days when the most controversial opinion was about what someone put in their lunch time jacket potato back.

I am so anxious about everything and where the world feels like it's going to. But I'm also so tired and I don't know what to do.

Well that explains why Trump is after the BBC.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

If the BBC gives even a penny of my licence fee money to Donald Trump I am going to riot.

In case you’re having a crap day, here’s my dog:

Calling all crafters on the island of Ireland! The knitting and Stitching show is in Lisburn this year and it looks like it's going to be a great line up. I'll be there on Thursday and Sunday if anyone fancies a Bluesky meet up! #CraftSky #SewSky

I DEMAND Panorama IMMEDIATELY produces a documentary showing Kamala Harris not instigating a violent riot, not sexually assaulting anyone, or getting fined for denying it, or being found guilty of business fraud, or f*cking a porn star AND accepting the result of an election. You know. For balance.

Watching Death By Lightning and it boggles my mind that it was only 144 years ago. The world has changed beyond recognition in less than 150 years. Every single aspect of life has been transformed. The only thing that hasn't changed is the often completely fucked up human condition.

The BBC should serve as an example to all that there is nothing you can give the far rabid right that will satisfy it. It has simpered, pandered, soft-balled and fluff-jobbed, both-sidesed and debased itself into being a platform for liars to look down the camera and lie on, & it still gets fucked.
