6 yr-old Rory is quite adamant that Bruno Mars has been in Doctor Who. Took me ages to realise we'd watched Battlefield together last week. Shame. #DoctorWho

Would be interesting to see what Labour could actually do if they, I dunno, listened to their membership instead of blindly chasing Reform and Tory voters. Like when their conference called for PR in UK elections and leadership went 'meh'

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

Word discovery of the day is ‘yoke-devil’ (17th century): an accomplice in a villainous or immoral undertaking.

Scottish Labour conference have voted to reject a motion to back the Cass Review and scrap Scottish Government guidance on supporting young trans people. Whatever anti-trans route the leadership is on, the membership do not agree.

This timely reminder from Carole Cadwalladr. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

When you’ve gone too far towards Putin for even the Daily Wail, well, that’s an achievement in itself.

The world’s billionaires SHOULD be subsidising things that make life better for everyone. Some of them do better than others. The selfish greed displayed here is why these people SHOULDN’T be in charge of anything to do with running a country.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that only the president can speak for “what the law is” (This is not how the Constitution works)

Every day will give us a new hero somewhere.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Due to the layoffs I am afraid that we have had to take over the running of the US National Parks. We are updating the park regulations but for now the most important thing people can do before visiting a national park is to marinade themselves for 12 hours in olive oil, lime juice & garlic.

Lol this sign "Do not bring food into the library Food residue will attract mice Mice will acquire knowledge in the library Get into university Then replace you" 😂

But it's ok! Because he's also removing all references to trans people! So it's still a win, right, Joanne?

It would be frowned upon to suggest that one’s head of department should be launched into the sea from a trebuchet, right? That’s a shame

I see we’re talking about irregular verbs again. I am taking a medicine that has been prescribed to me by my physician for a legitimate medical condition. He is dependent on prescribed pharmaceuticals. They are work-shy bastards who need to be thrown in forced labour camps.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

I knew she was good at tennis but this is just remarkable court coverage to be there at Stonewall on the front lines while she was a 12 year old living in Czechoslovakia without a passport at the time
