Hmm! Our shiny new one accused his ex wife of attempted murder several years ago. It took the jury "less than an hour to unanimously clear her of all four charges." I live in hope.

An autistic woman has, for the first time in her life, experienced a fleeting taste of what it would be like to be an actual human person, it has been reported.

We are bugs.

@mrnotmoro.bsky.social At least we have a new meme to express our continued disappointment

Was Streeting

Taken it into my head to felt a pumpkin.

This begins delightfully and then it goes on and then I'm just baffled that anyone has the energy for arranging parties for hundreds of strangers and now I'm just glad I am no longer in my 20s rawandferal.substack.com/p/stupid-par...

Me: Today I shall go for that big walk. The Sky: Ahahahahaha no.

Congratulations to artist-owned music platform @subvert.fm on their launch! In honor of the occasion I’ve released the score to “The Edge of All We Know”, a film about the Event Horizon Telescope, exclusively to Subvert. Anyone can listen and if you’re a member, you can download it for free.

Fucking hell, was he carrying a 7yo damp bag of croissants and a tray of freezing cold coffees?

Right Wing Papers in disarray as I propose a Raven Tax on second homes (you must give your second home to the ravens) and on private schools (privately educated children must do 6 months national service caring for ravens) & a new War On Motorists (ravens trained to shit on needlessly huge cars)

Fine. I'LL be prime minister. All data centres to become Raven Sanctuaries. Universities to be saved and also become Raven Sanctuaries. All flags to be replaced with MORE RAVENS.

@manytypesoftea.bsky.social You're here!!!!! :D

the very real possibility of a fascist government in Westminster in 2029 brings a clarity of thought: what is the most effective way I can contribute to stopping this happen? As Diane Di Prima said, "no one way works, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down".

Here is a throwback to Mr. Jacket Potato, the black and white cat, going mental because of snow outside the back door this past winter

"This isn’t just about prison reform. It’s about redefining justice. Retribution has its limits. You can’t punish a man into wholeness. But you can love him there. You can show him a mirror that reflects not who he was but who he could become."

Please learn America’s election lesson: they weren’t fooled, ignorant, or misled, they are RACIST

*best marketing voice* depressed by the election results? why not purchase an anti-fascist owl print, as a treat? anti-fascist owls will never vote for reform, and can be trusted to work co-operatively for the greater good at all times! shop.frankduffy.co.uk/product/hex-...

This morning I think the main thing we should be celebrating is sharing a planet with David Attenborough. Happy birthday to a gentle, wise, stalwart defender of all that is right, and fierce critic of what could be a lot better. A century of learning and teaching. He must know how we all love him.

Ref*rm are upsetting cos it’s the lazy politics of division. For their supporters, they say “you can’t trust outsiders”. And for the rest of us, every time they do well in polling, they say “you can’t trust your neighbours.” Whatever happens, they split us up, and make us dislike one another.

I have done my Democracy, and also shown myself up for being a noob by starting to walk away from the guy who hands you your ballot paper before he'd actually handed it to me

Update: still having a good old internal wrestle. Who will do something about the overmanagement of local nature reserve areas and wild verges, is what I want to know. That's my bugbear as a local voter, even more than potholes.

Anyway I swept the driveway so I think I deserve tacos

I have been attempting to look into my Green candidate for the local elections this afternoon and the only information I can come up with other than a name is "favourite biscuit". Is ... is this how we choose local reps, now?

*cough*
