Just trying to stay in touch with the people I know IRL. I'm going to check here every once in a while, until the world settles down. He/They/Whatever makes you comfortable. Would like to rejoin the EU in some form.

Watching Richard Tice from the Reform company talk about having its own DOGE. At least he’s open about where his toxic ideas are coming from. How much has DOGE saved the US?

Genius. I'd love to see that film

On June 6, 1944, 81 years ago, the US and allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Hitler’s tyrannic rule. These brave soldiers gave their lives to defend democracy. We must honor them by continuing the fight against authoritarianism and fascism in all its forms.

The sacrifices of my grandparent’s generation bought so much of what we’re able to enjoy today. Thank you to that generation and all of the allies that delivered victory. I will never forget nor cease to be grateful.

Tell me you are high without…, no wait. I know you are really high :-)

Far, far, far too lenient. I hope the sentence is appealed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

Great work! Shouldn’t MPs be accountable for the donation they receive? I don’t think they should be able to take money from private individuals or companies. Speaking generally, it gives the impression of corruption.

It’s always lesser/mediocre men that go after genuinely decent people. What will they be remembered for? Nothing, they won’t be.

My wife says when I look at my Staffie my whole face changes, it's true I can feel it. When I look at otters the same thing happens, they are amazing.

Ooh look at that!

Would you trust farage and a collection of volunteer "software engineers" with your personal information? I wouldn't. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If Farage is taking this position it’ll be because American Performative Christian Nationalists are telling him to. I would like to protect a woman’s right to choose and I do not think men should have a say except to protect her rights.

Nigel Farage says abortion laws are “utterly ludicrous.” MPs are watching. We have days to show them: the public backs abortion rights. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

These are strange times, I prefer colour over grey. Joy over misery and the miserable. To the LGBT+ communities Happy Pride month :-)

Have been shopping amongst warnings of AI security (we’re all potential criminals now). Whilst my car was kept by robotic security (jk kidding it’s not keeping my car safe). If the high street isn’t dead it soon will be. I’ve returned with very little having spent a lot.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

You know I like watching the news in the UK and I resent it being hijacked by the world’s largest bullshitter.

I watched Ms Rachel on YouTube and lasted 5 seconds, I'm not her target market but I became a fan after watching this video. I've seen comments conflating care for children/people with antisemitism, and they are unjustified. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2fi...

Farage wants you to buy health insurance in place of the NHS. Would you rather have a loss adjuster decide if you can have treatment or know that the NHS is there for you?

The women that are running this channel are doing great work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JeM...

My maternal grandfather liberated a concentration camp beside American troops. I can't ask him how he feels about the information coming out of Gaza. I hope he'd be disgusted to see it again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

The best antidote for the hysteria in social media (aside from ditching Twitter & Facebook) is facts and @karenmonroy.bsky.social provides facts and analysis on the EU trade agreement here.
