The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.

Leo: It's time. Raise an army of scorpions and destroy everyone who has hurt you and never asked to be forgiven.

*blackadder theme* It's waited for 1000 years The evil in the ground was frozen It fed upon the locals' fears And now, dear stranger, you've been chosen Folk Horror! Folk Horror! The trees have found their voice! Folk Horror! Folk Horror! You never had a choice!

c.org/B2Rtg9DKtp?s... Sign this petition for Neil the seal!

Anyone who hasn't actually played in, or managed it should be banned from using "we" when talking about the England team.

Can someone give Patrick a lift?

Deferring to Mrs Gaskell for North and South.

Neal continues his war on bollards.

I love Neil but as with all celebrity animals (and animals in general) I really hope people can learn to admire from a respectful distance.

Neil forever, total legend, must be protected at all costs

If you’re an organisational account posting about celebrating Disability Pride month, please use alt text on images and camel case on hashtags. It really rings very hollow if you don’t.

An oil company giving advice on how to stay cool in a heatwave? Feels like an arsonist handing out handheld fans before setting your house on fire 🤬🙄

Absolutely this, just email me tickets. I really really do not want another app.

Neil the Seal has returned to the small town in Tasmania where he enjoys going on rampages, body-slamming cars and road blocks, barking at police etc. I’m a huge fan of his blubbery chaos

Catholics: constant Catholic Drama Evangelists: rooting through the US gvt trying to find the apocalypse.exe file Anglicans: WHEEEEE!!!

@coolhand.bsky.social can you do a schism infographic?

So, is there an excommunications tracker online? I wanna see the blip in graphic form.

Disability Pride Month 💥 What does Disability Pride look like as we face a seemingly constant erosion of our rights? How can the movements from the past inform and inspire us as we struggle for liberation? Some thoughts... 👇 www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...

Giggles in medieval studies. Loving this.

Please let consummation mean something different in America. A wedding at Madison Square gardens could be considered tacky but consummation there is Love Island meets Black Mirror.

These are vehicles; they don’t belong on the pavement any more than adult cyclists do. Oh, they cause too much disruption in the road? Then if they can’t be deployed in the most appropriate environment for them, they shouldn’t be in use at all.

Interesting to see whether some disability orgs speak up about online verification laws. I very much expect people whose disability leads them to look younger will get flagged as having a fake ID etc. I think about this situation a lot. themarkup.org/hello-world/...

DWP director general made ‘joke’ mocking disability equality as he waited to give evidence to MPs buff.ly/kFZZ1ww Fresh concerns are raised about a long-term toxic culture within DWP, which successive governments have been unwilling or unable to address @marisharay.bsky.social @johnpring.bsky.social

Watching the video from The Ring on my phone so she comes out of my screen real tiny and I can just put her in a mug

So to report a burst water main online, you have to give two forms of contact, even if you’re reporting a problem in a public area which I am not very happy about.

Another burst water main! Yorkshire Water just keep on giving…

me trying to tell someone an anecdote or perhaps a little joke

If you feel unwell in the heat: stop, find shade, drink water. Get help if you don't improve. If someone near you looks unwell, do not leave them alone. Move them to shade and call for help. Heatstroke is an emergency. Act fast. #BeatTheHeat

If you have an autoimmune disease, your body should play video game combat music so you know when you're under attack

You might personally choose not to use AI, but you might not have a choice as to whether your team or office uses it. If your organization is using AI to write alt text, always review it to make sure it's accurate and appropriate. AI won't necessarily understand how or why an image is being used.

You’re not going to believe this but the man who coined the term ‘Nominative determinism’ was called Norman Ativedeterminism.

A company: “hi, is that David Beckham’s agent?” His agent: “it is. He’ll do it.” Company: “but we haven’t…” Agent: “just send the paperwork” Company: “it IS for a robot that murders children and fucks dogs” Agent: “he’s in. 100%. We don’t need to hear more”

The rise of AI-generated animal videos and images is such a travesty. Animal content has always been one of the best things about the internet and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what’s real

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Was annoyed by the sound check from the racecourse until I realised it’s not just a music event - it’s racing then a music event. Now I’m angry. I’m not a fan of horseracing at the best of times but making them run in this weather is just incredibly cruel.

Judging by those photos there were significantly bigger crowds at the Christmas tractor run through my parents’ village.
