weirdly lightheaded today, which is fun - keep nearly toppling over every time I stand up

retvrn to mystery stories based around the actual mystery and not whether the detective is sad and/or wet

I mean I wish for Bal's sake she hadn't ended up in quite so many dance-offs, but what an absolute pro for always keeping on, simply the best ever to do it, we stan a legend #SCD

Bal is the people’s winner

no shut up Julian I'm sobbing #SCD

The judges have the opportunity to do the funniest thing but they're all COWARDS. #scd #strictly

NOOOOOOOOOO #SCD

Alexis doing a showdance to the Killers, it's going to be a Mormonpalooza #SCD

"are we human, or are we dancer, or are we none of the above" #SCD

I was talking to my mum earlier and said I wanted Karen to win. And she said, oh no, I want the footballer girl to win. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Luckily she doesn’t actually vote because who knows what name she’d select. #strictly

dammit, Balvinder Hive, we tried #SCD

"20 years and neither of them have learnt a step of dancing" just like most of your celebrities! #SCD

it's one of the best histories of Strictly Come Dancing that we've ever had in the history of Strictly Come Dancing #SCD

I’m sorry, she does *what*

been away for under 48 hours and the cat has responded to my return by rubbing her face all over me, presumably because it was still long enough for me to Stop Smelling Of Cat

Just done the cats' flea treatment, which involves immobilising a reluctant cat, and precisely placing a drop of liquid on the back of its neck. Leaflet: "Do not eat, drink, or smoke while applying this product." I can't help admiring the ambition of anyone who might even try such a feat.

All these companies like "Getting a GPU or RAM or storage might be impossible *but* here's a chatbot that'll tell your kid to kill themselves"

Here’s a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue: 1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims 2- see above

doing my bit for the unemployment crisis by filing so many complaints to BBC News that they’ll have to hire a full-time member of staff just to respond to me

don't normally enjoy hearing men; however, a group of men driving past with the windows down and absolutely belting out feliz navidad with perfect harmonies? go on, lads

What a time to be alive (derogatory)

This quote cropped up in a few of the Stanley Baxter obituaries - and how heartbreaking that someone would live for a century feeling that way; how enraging that there are people who believe it's right that queer/trans/enbies SHOULD feel that way and are trying to ensure that happens

behold: the male ego

It gets lost in all of this nonsense every time, but it is worth pointing out that it's not illegal to use any toilet you like. Toilets aren't legally restricted places and never have been, for very obvious reasons. This whole thing is based on an absurd fiction about who can and can't go where.

Sure is interesting that the article declines to mention that her appointment was opposed by the Women and Equalities Committee and the Joint Committee on Human Rights, who both wrote to Bridget Phillipson to object to her appointment. No, the opposition is only from "trans campaigners", apparently.

I think about this tweet every day

Channel 4 trailing the fact that it's got the rights to house by calling it "the award-winning house" and that's going to be a new George Clarke series within the next six months, I guarantee

visiting my parents and we put Gogglebox on as a thing that was fairly unobjectionable for everyone I've not watched it for quite some time but good lord a lot of it was people literally just repeating the dialogue from the clip we'd all just watched three seconds ago

I was raised in Kent and this is brutally accurate

maybe this is uncharitable of me but I struggle with the idea that someone who is a video content creator as their main job struggles with their self belief #SCD

by “little flashes of Argentine tango” does he mean the entire first 20 seconds of the routine #SCD

so Amber’s getting 8s at the most for that flagrantly illegal lift, yes? #SCD

The singers really making sure "The Rhythm is Gonna Get You" sounds as much like a threat as possible <3 #scd #Strictly

Julian’s mum having no faith that he’s making the final ❤️ #SCD

Julian getting the girls out, works for me #SCD

🎶 get on your feet! 🎶 *hoiks Bal into the air* #SCD

It's notable that Swinford headlines this tweet on his feature of Wes Streeting's tilt at the Labour leadership by referencing a book about a kid whose actions destroy his family.

this is 100% an argument FOR taxing billionaires of absolutely everything except for $5 lol

Quite something to watch an episode of a crime drama that aired for the first time in 2025 where the killer’s motive was “I ended up in a wheelchair because of you!” 😬

Very telling that the Guardian Weekly article showing teenagers' reactions to Australia's social media ban have a bunch of healthy kids saying "Annoying but no biggie, I can wait two years" and one very disabled one saying "welp there goes my entire world."

heartening that my mum - who was originally Not Thrilled (to put it mildly) about having a gay son - was complaining this morning about her local independent stationer and card shop not stocking any cards that recognised gay relationships

yes. more of these tbh. The guardian has absolutely no right at all preaching about tolerance or anything else while it refuses to reconcile with its own objectively intolerant output. hijack this shit campaign. remind people of the scumbag things they've said and done.

this is how my cat looks at me when she hungry

apparently Deadline’s review called this “gorgeously animated”, did the reviewer have his sunglasses on in the screening room or something

This is an actual cancellation that you will hear nothing about from the usual suspects

Having to resign from a BBC science show after 16 years and 33 seasons, for not being a transphobe is where we are as a country.

Oh @robinince.bsky.social is the best of us and it’s criminal that he has to resign from presenting on the BBC while Justin Webb and Sharron Davies and all the poisonous people continue without the “difficult” conversations

What the fuck is this like haha look at us being cute doing right wing slogans but ironically 😉 of course we aren’t part of the bigoted establishment 😉

This is one hell of a Claire Danes impression www.instagram.com/reel/DSDXKlt...

Yet again I have enjoyed the benoit blanc movie but yet again I am begging for a film that is almost exclusively Hugh Grant having Husband Hijinks while a mystery happens in the background
