A bunch of sad, angry right-wing trolls organised an anti-immigrant demo in town – it wasn't hard to outnumber their pathetic turnout. I ran to buy a Saltire because so many of them were claiming our flag as their symbol. Our flag belongs to all of us, not a minority with hate in their hearts 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My boyfriend mentioned that he was studying tourism, and my little cousin said, "What, is that like the 11-9 thing?" We both looked at each other, confused. Then the penny dropped and I said, "No, he's studying tourism, not terrorism." 🤦‍♂️😭

Just got ID'd trying to buy some sparkling rosé for my auntie's birthday 🫠 I'm 29, so I should be flattered – but I didn't have my ID with me, and I'm literally on my way to the restaurant for her birthday meal, so the timing isn't great 😬

The new Google AI functionality in Docs is total mind-ruining shit. Hit enter in docs, it takes over your cursor to offer to help you write. Every. Time. You. Hit. Enter. Do you know how annoying that is when you are writing something? It's someone interrupting you every minute. MAKE IT STOP.

Postie came back up the path about 15 minutes after already delivering something, and I happened to be in the garden. "Forget something?" I said with a laugh. She stopped, scowled and snarled, "Obviously." Our usual, friendly postie needs to hurry back from his holiday 🥲

🚍 Being a big transport nerd, I count myself pretty lucky that my job allows me to do what I love whilst taking me to parts of the country I (probably) wouldn't otherwise visit Another network assessment done and dusted! 🙂‍↕️

Fixed-route shuttles, you say? If only we could subsidize something like that to make commutes more affordable, fast, and environmentally-friendly!

No time – and no sympathy – for any political party thinking it's the victim when its Leadership has tried to play the field on LGBT rights. The failures of Labour and the Tories are obvious. But when Ed Davey "welcomed" the "clarity" of the Supreme Court ruling, he muddied your position too.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Keir Starmer just made himself a one-term Prime Minister. Farage is gonna play that line on loop from here to kingdom come, and Starmer is gonna regret ever saying it. Stupid cunt.

🚍🤓 I don't think I've ever listened to a podcast before – but this conversation between @humantransit.bsky.social and @volts.wtf was ideal for a train journey. The topic may have been US transit, but the balance of frequency vs coverage can be universally applied. www.volts.wtf/p/how-is-tra...

When will this fucking flump learn? If Reform policies are all that's on the menu, people will just vote for Reform. Serving up slop that rips off Farage's recipe isn't going to do Labour any favours. I was a Labour Party member for more than ten years, and am close to never voting for them again.

I came across a review of this movie which opened with something like, "It presents a rich portrayal of the Jim Crow era and the cultural importance of music" — and didn't read any further because some reviews have a tendency to spoil things. Friends, my jaw fell open when the vampires showed up.

Britain's electoral system has always been a clapped-out relic – but this year's local elections should bury it once and for all. It's no longer a two-horse race when there's a whole herd on the track. It's time to abolish FPTP. Maybe this thumping will make Starmer finally sit up and take notice.
