If anyone has Facebook, I'm taking part in a fundraiser for Dementia UK and will be walking at least 1km every day in February. I know times are tough but if anyone can donate on there it would be great www.facebook.com/donate/77228...

While we were all focused on Trump's force executing a citizen, British police were attacking and mass-arresting peaceful protesters outside HMP Wormwood Scrubs, where Umer Khalid remains on hunger strike.

me, born yesterday: why would the BBC report this so terribly?

is it protein

keir starmer is a monstrous piece of shit.

URGENT Help us stop Sex Matters 👇

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

The ethnic cleansing of the West Bank continues every day. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This news may come as a huge shock, with the court of appeal seemingly setting jury trials back almost 400 years despite the case of Trudi Warner clearly upholding jurors’ rights in 2024. Read about Trudi’s case and the launch of Defend Our Juries: defendourjuries.net/trudi-warner...

Word of the day: pensaer (architect) geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html... On this day in 1810, the architect and poet Talhaiarn (John Jones) was born in Llanfair Talhaearn, Denbighshire. He was involved in the construction of the Crystal Palace, London, and the Château de Ferrières near Paris.

The fact Starmer took time to make a dig at Polanski in his speech this morning says everything, really

A new storm is expected to hit Gaza as people continue to die from exposure because Israel is blocking supplies (including shelters) from entering the strip. Tareq Abu Azzoum reports.

read my lips: no more defections

Starmer’s entire persona was about taking tough decisions. Yet all he knows is appeasement.

had to take down the Christmas decorations because of woke (mid January)

you should meet the other tim walz, who at least called them weird

For those who know what this means, and this I think acts as a microcosm of the quality of the broader legal analysis - the judgment makes extended discussion of the Article 8 rights of trans people, without any reference whatsoever to Goodwin. Not sure how.

An important thread about the ET ruling today.

lovin the clarity

Virgin Active decided to restrict changing room access based on 'biological sex'. We're acting for, and financially supporting, a non-binary transmasculine person and a trans woman who are suing it for breaching the Equality Act. We've published the Letter Before Action.

multiple people almost starved themselves to death to stop an arms deal going through with elbit man you can't say "some russians are protesting their government" with no evidence of insurgency then ignore the fact thousands of brits are being charged with terrorism offences to oppose the genocide

This is the thin end of a wedge that could get really, really, really dark really quick.

Xenomorphs? Sigourney no dae that.

Is there a good reason why people who are charged with what i assume is criminal damage have been kept on remand for more than 18 months? To say “that seems excessive” is a significant understatement.

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Pls deportations?? No violence from cops!! Only deportations

If Yorp are back in the news, I note Adnan Hussain is still a director. Reminds me of how Robin McAlpine was never ejected from Common Weal.

The UK government is letting these people die. They know it. They're pretending it's not happening.

I don’t think people realise how awful it is in Ukraine right now. Yesterday my friend posted how it’s -9 and because of the power cuts - due to Russian attacks - she has no heating. This is in Kyiv. And this is the day after a mass missile & drone strike killed four people.

often we are fighting for basic rights, or against cruel intrusions, but never forget that fundamentally we are fighting for trans joy

"How Wales chooses to allocate that funding from the UK Government, rightly and reasonably, is a matter for the Welsh to decide. In contrast, in Scotland, we are taking a different view," [Douglas] Alexander told the BBC's Radio Scotland Breakfast this morning

Next time I hear the phrase “How low can @zackpolanski.bsky.social go”, I’d like it to be about a limbo competition.

shocked (not shocked) to discover the labour councillor who opposes politicising murder by the state is bigoted and hates travellers

ice desperately needs somebody with experience, like Cressida Dick

I Wish I Was a Little Bit Taller by Skee-Lo implies the existence of I Wish I Was a Little Bit Smaller by Skee-Hi.

Songs with fantastic sax solos: True by Spandau Ballet

it’s like the swear word filter in The Good Place except it’s designed to torture us

It took me too long to realise this Rust library name was a pun.

Browsing an old cookbook (1970s). It recommends buying an asbestos mat 👍.

the king is our head of state; what does he think?

Here's an emergency feel-good photo. It seems y'all need it right now. A trio of kangaroos at Lincoln National Park which is at the bottom of Eyre Peninsula and very far away from the terrible world events.

The Hague, all of them

But can anyone tell me what this bit means? “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.”

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social Mamdani like Trump canceled his predecessor’s executive orders, showing neither side has the moral upper hand.

just remember this when the uk government tells us they are powerless to prosecute any of their soldiers or illegal paramiliarites who committed atrocities in Northern Ireland.
