Solidarity is where it’s at. ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Americans think British people are wimps for complaining about the heat. But what you don't realise is that most British houses were actually built in Britain, a cursed island that hates us.

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

this Labour Government has largely presided over the sharpest uptick in racial, religious, and LGBT+ violence in my lifetime and it's hard to really stress just how much Labour actively chose this

Reform don't actually want to govern.

This is what union labor gets you btw

Remembering JIM HENSON - who left us 36yrs ago today. He was just 53.

Toss Your Weasel Wednesday!

My favorite thing about Mr. Blobby is how whenever Americans find out about him they take psychic damage

committing a little bit of heresy for daddy

Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately their government needs to be at least 18 years old with four doctors to sign off first

Did "212" break millennial containment? Also, "okay cupid" by kitty and "Gucci Gucci" by Kreayshawn.

Share a horror movie that isn't talked about enough.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

England today.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

One more desperate retweet before this Life Day ends.

If this site is too much of a downer for you, I highly recommend the Cromer peregrine cam. www.cromerperegrineproject.co.uk/live-cams Three baby sky-death dinosaurs!

Happy International Workers' Day. Solidarity. Poster by @rlmartstudio.bsky.social, and also on my office wall.

Somewhere right now in an abandoned mall this playlist is echoing through a cavernous Urban Outfitters whose polished concrete floors have known no footfalls in years. A tree is growing through the ceiling. Moss has entombed the graphic tees

This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen

A really good explanation of the disingenuous use by the media of the Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc fallacy

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started. Just. Tax. Them.

For Americans, the best I can describe the British Dennis the Menace is: imagine if Charlie Brown had the personality of Lobo

Aquila ZZZap! The Girl From Tomorrow Spatz Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars The Tomorrow People (90s version)

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

Anatidaephobia: the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.

SESAME STREET EXEC 1: kids love bright colours, so how about a bunch of humanoid puppets in red, green, blue, orange, yellow SESAME STREET EXEC 2: ooh what if the yellow one had a head like a banana? SESAME STREET EXEC 1: I love it, yes. banana head DIVERSITY HIRE GOTH: there should be a vampire

today we give thanks to Gabumon, who long ago digi-died for our digi-sins 🙏

Satisfying my nastiest kink (doing extensive world-building for the RPG I run that will never come up in the actual game)

It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.

TIL

April Fools from The Phoenix and Warhammer show how it’s done - you don’t just lie about doing a silly thing, you actually do a silly thing

Will be queuing up for this likes it's corpse-starch porridge at the Schola Progenium kitchens (April Fools, of course) www.youtube.com/watch?v=59NO...

@dialhforhagai.bsky.social is today one of those days where we can weaken but still have a good life? asking for a friend?

the boys love tendies! and by "tendies," i of course mean the 1934 F Scott Fitzgerald novel "Tender is the Night"

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Frank O’Hara

If you can’t stop caring about Harry Potter but you appreciate that ethically you have to then help yourself to. Do a spell and live free

Any engagement with JK Rowling's work just encourages her hateful agenda. It sucks that a thing so many people treasure has been ruined, but the answer isn't hate-watching or other justifications. Trans lives are more important than a series of books.

Happy Randy Johnson Accidentally Obliterates A Bird With His Devastating Fastball Day to all who observe it

fun reminder: the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing
