Balls, meet Johnson, Johnson,

I always imagine he had stood on a piece of Lego halfway through this sentence.

Cock-a-doodle doo, dickheads

I feel sorry for the kids but these parents knew exactly what he was and were fine with him hurting other people's kids because they thought theirs were safe.

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

The great thing about having pet insurance is that while our labrador is at the vets, they've given us a courtesy poodle to hang out with.

“Trump has been quite open about this – he has been clear that he sees financial opportunities for the normalisation of relations between the US and Russia." Lewis Goodall explains what Trump hopes to gain from aligning so closely with Putin

Yesterday GB News aired this commentary belittling a black actress on the BBC as a "diversity hire". This is what Marks & Spencer have been aligning with. Take action: www.facebook.com/MarksandSpen...

Congratulations @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and so well deserved. You’ve delivered masterclass after masterclass in how to hold politicians and those in power to account. You are one of the finest journalists we have in this country 👏

Please everyone repost and share on as many channels as you can. Forward to as many people as you know.

Dawg they Freedom Fried us, it’s so over

Wow. Literally like reading about my own marriage. I’m so grateful to no longer be in a marriage where I feel alone and unhappy. 🙏

I buy a Creme Egg in a shop. Man at till reaches under counter. "I don't need a bag thanks" I say. "I'm getting the shop egg," he says. "It has a barcode that'll scan."

A comedian’s pronouns should be hee/hee.

After careful analysis I can bring you the greatest moment in EastEnders 40 year history - Pete & Arthur play Burnin' Rubber on the Amstrad GX4000

"And you totally know how to paint a baby?" Artist: Yup "You're sure?" Artist: Don't worry about it "You know what a baby looks like?" Artist: Yes "It's just you always paint babies like they're 40yr old blokes called Colin" Artist: Not this time

What a name for a backing band.

Yet again more unrealistic body expectations placed on women by the patriarchy.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Not an anchovy, though - don’t take the piss.

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Just read that giraffes can grow up to 18 feet but the ones I’ve seen have only got four.

The first rule of Pop Music Club is you never talk about Pop Music, talk about, pop music, shoobie doobie do wop, pop pop shoo wop Club.

Phone now sends me transcriptions of voicemails. Very confused by this one until I listened to it. Turns out ‘sexy literally’ is in fact ‘Specsavers Bletchley’

but don’t just take my word for it *sock puppet emerges*

A struggle many trauma survivors don't talk about-- because we don't want to seem "weak" or "immature"-- is just getting up & facing the day. You need to know you're not alone-- & you're not hopeless-- if you have a harder time literally getting out of bed than you let on.

Happy International Crumpet Day, to all who celebrate! I once overheard someone getting annoyed with his friend on the train and instead of saying “you’re getting on my tits” or “you’re pissing me off,” he said “you’re burning my crumpets” (and I will not rest until this becomes a common expression)

Cute response. Bravo, LA County Animal Care.

“The Trump tariffs executive order is a nothing. It is an invitation to leaders from around the world to come and kiss his ass. This is the Fisher-Price version of a Presidency. They give him buttons to push and levers to pull that are attached to nothing.”

"If we don't allow politicians to converse in a way that isn't reduced to simplicities, that leaves a vacuum of complexity filled by populists who sound like they are talking with substance" A big win of the modern right has been to close the space in which nuance can even sit. My culture piece 👇
