This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A tiny human (2?) is roaring: "WRONG WAY MUM! WRONG WAY!" as Mum pushes his pram away from the waffle truck. Mum is insisting that he's just had some ice cream but Tiny Human has spotted waffles and the struggle (to get delicious food) is real! (1)

Well. Colour me surprised.

I managed to knock myself out of #Whamageddon by 0916 yesterday morning, courtesy of an ill-thought out playlist (and @laurevans311.bsky.social ) Here’s to a whole month of Gorgeous George

Humans are terrible. But also humans are amazing.

DONALD TRUMP 2016 VS DONALD TRUMP 2025

Post a movie where you are from (This might be the closest I can find…)

While watching the Cenotaph footage this morning I saw not one but two familiar faces. Daddy Botcher was marching with his comrades, but just beforehand was an interview with this boss @doctorwibble.bsky.social Lest we forget

I get the feeling that someone at BBCNews has waited a long time for this and is enjoying themselves.

look if Dolly Parton needs you to pray for her then you find a scrap of floor and get to fucking work

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern. She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in. Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files. Say her name.

Hit me with your best pumpkin recipes. We’ve got a few of these kicking around…

America. What are you doing?

Like we knew and said.

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

Once again… Racism is not a different political opinion. It’s racism.

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)? Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next. www.npr.org/2025/08/09/n...

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Long thread incoming. This is NOT critical of those who feed their baby formula. It’s the end of another #worldbreastfeedingweek and it always prompts a bit of reflection. I am so proud of being able to feed both my children. No 1 fed until nearly ten months, and No 2 is still going strong.

This young lady has had something awful happen and her mental health has suffered. I was asked to share by a friend, who ran the Brownies she went to years ago

I had to crack out the old parenting chestnut of “RIGHT! If you keep on like that I’m calling Father Christmas and telling him you’re not to have presents this year” It’s 5th of August. I think I peaked too soon.
