For Hookland has a long folklore of 'Wisdoms Helms' – those spots in the landscape that will place wise counsel in your mind if only you can suppress your own internal chatter and listen. The finding of one's own Wisdom Helm is a most vital spiritual matter.– #CLNolan #WOTD

Petition to expel the Israeli Ambassador to the UK has reached nearly 200,000 signatures. It is time for Hotovely to go.

This story is horrific, but it's worse than the title lets on. Because one of the people who harassed a trans woman for using a bathroom at Parliament was Kate Harris of the LGB Alliance. So while Falkner was assuring the committee that trans women hadn't lost any rights, her own ally was...

Three members of the Madleen team—Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi, and Marco van Rennes—are still illegally detained by Israel and may be held for another month. Arrested unlawfully in international waters and denied basic rights,

Israel's decision last week to create 22 new settlements in the West Bank was reported as somewhat uneventful news in the media. The reality is, however, that it's the latest in a series of moves to cement Israeli control of the occupied territory. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/isra... #Palestine #Israel

I have been logged out of my toothbrush.

May can't come soon enough! So excited to watch these films again on the big screen in a cinema full of all of us genre fans! #TREMORS #ALIENS and a real treat the rarely seen #BATTLEBEYONDTHESTARS

The crows are watching, be kind today 🖤🐦‍⬛

Damn that Netflix Pride & Prejudice cast is promising. I'm so far quite neutral on Dolly Alderton so this will make or break my opinion of her. Lowden and Corrin could each find chemistry with a dish cloth so together they could be fabulous.

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey? guard: [looking away] fine wife: did something happen? guard: [tearing up] no wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

DEEP SUBSTRATE FOLIATED KALKITE

Kind of amazing how nakedly dishonest are Wes Streeting's lot when it comes to suppressing data on young people taking their own lives in consequence of the withdrawal of gender affirming care. 🤯🧵

Old banger from @bareleft.bsky.social

"Nobody should have to fear for their family's safety because of politics." But thanks to Starmer, more and more people do. Excuse me if I'm not in a rush to locate any sympathy for the man.

May we rage when we must & rest when we can. May we make the peace we so desperately need. May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires. The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it. Shabbat shalom ❤️

This #socialistsunday let us all remember what a spineless, treacherous bunch of gits the current 'Labour' government is.

It's quite simple. You cannot say you oppose Israel's plan for the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza if you keep providing them with the weapons they need to carry it out. The government’s refusal to end all arms sales to Israel is becoming more egregious by the day.

How do I get out of political Bluesky and back to funny Bluesky?

I forgot that I need to leave at least 3 hours between watching The Pitt and bedtime to let the TV goosebumps wear off.

The Pitt = “What if The Bear only the stakes mattered and also the main character was sympathetic”

“The Pitt” is a medical drama that unfurls in real time. But more compelling than its gimmick is how the show creates a “quiet sort of magic—something that is very, very hard for even the best TV programs to get right,” writes David Sims:

Am watching The Pitt and am completely sucked in and also Noah Wylie is in his world-weary paladin era.

Noah Wylie in tonight's The Pitt. That's all.

Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land,” has been beaten and taken by Israeli settlers, TMZ reports.

Thanks all for confirming my approach to high concept shows (wait til the whole thing has aired to avoid lengthy waits between cliffhanger finales, and to confirm if it sticks the narrative landing) is still the right one for me. I do NOT envy Severance viewers right now.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting. This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity. These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.
