Vatican to announce its choice of a new Pope in a Signal group chat.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a little kid.

I am watching the movie Heat and I wanted to check if the actress is a young Angelina Jolie so I went to google and-

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Might steal this one 😆

Surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library.

Please Sir, can we have an actual documented example? What work are illegal migrants doing that drives down wages, terms and conditions? And how are employers getting away with it? Doesn't everyone go through employment checks? Shouldn't employers be prosecuted if they are breaking the law?

Hahahahaha!

Elbows up, Canada.

As a lawyer who does Equal Pay law it is interesting to note that the prospect of young men falling behind young women is causing a sense of societal crisis that the reverse position consistently failed to invoke.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Ultimately a bully has no friends. Only accomplices & scared sycophants who could turn on you in a minute

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Yes. Join a Union.

The Gilded Age is Trump's ideal--let's check the stats, shall we? --most Americans disenfranchised --most Americans in extreme poverty --most Americans worked 12 hour workdays, 6-7 days a week --most Americans consumed unsafe food, water, medicine The Gilded Age was great only for the rich folks

If you’re struggling to write a poem for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, take heart: even the great poets had to start somewhere.

This is not only morally reprehensible, but a breach of the UN Refugee Convention. No refugee should be discriminated against on the basis of how they entered the country www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“This is bad, full stop. It creates a class of person who are forever excluded from civic life no matter how long they live here. It’s also a clear breach of the refugee convention.” Damn straigt, @colinyeo.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

This is why the media gives people like Donald Trump such an easy ride and people like Keir Starmer such a hard one iandunt.substack.com/p/journalism...

The word 'symposium' comes from a Greek term for a drinking party, should you be looking for a truthful excuse to knock off early.

Conservatives warning about George Soros but make the footage Elon Musk

Humans: Yes! We can generate energy from sustainable sources like wind and energy. Also humans: Let's use ridiculous amounts of energy to let AI generate shitty images and texts nobody asked for.

I went to see Hadestown last night. It was jaw-droppingly good! Can’t stop thinking about it. Go and see it if you can #hadestown

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

can’t help but think had Biden said he was going to colonise Gaza and turn it into the ’Riviera of the Middle East’ the media would have driven him out of office
