My 13yo asked me if I thought there was going to be another world war, so I told her that at least we haven't got a functionally illiterate prick in charge of the most powerful nation on earth. Oh, how we both laughed!

A 3.6% pay award from the government for nurses is, once again, a piss take. We're at least 10% down in actual terms over the last 15 years. I will be voting to reject this derisory offer but fear the apathy in the ranks mean it will go through due to lack of votes. #WeNurses

🧵BAT SIGNAL 🦇🏳️‍🌈 A friend of mine has tried to book accommodation in Blackpool for her and her wife. Wilshaw Suites, Blackpool asked her to ‘confirm your relationship’ and told her they ‘don’t allow same sexes’

Blown away by #Ambulance as usual. I've dealt with many paramedics over the years and they have been, almost without exception, amazing individuals and the job the call centre workers do goes far too unheralded. Also, teach CPR in schools.

Terrible parent alert! I just asked my youngest, 14 and a big superhero fan, if she'd been bitten by a radioactive village idiot.

It's this simple. As I've taught my kids, if someone's religion says they can't do something, then that's fine. See if there's any way you can help. But if someone's religion says you can't do something, you tell them to ram it so far up their arse it'll make their eyes bulge.

Yesterday's free prawn crackers = today's hors d'oeuvres.

DiMarco has chosen the wrong night to have stinker.

Evergreen comment.

“Medicine doesn’t treat the root cause, they just treat symptoms.” —Every wellness grifter Marty Makary, RFK Jr & MAHA allies claim they’re going to “fix” American health by focusing on “root cause medicine.” Reality? They’re using the FDA to spread wellness propaganda. 1/

Freedom scares them. They want to stifle all resistance against their tyranny. The time to take to the streets is NOW. Find a protest near you. Mass protest movements are your last line of defense. Follow @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Congratulations to Spurs on winning a game that neither team deserved to win. Pleased for Dom Solanke though. 😁

Oh wow, the backup teacher who would have been on Challenger had McAuliffe been unable to go, Barbara Morgan, ended up retraining as an astronaut and eventually went to space! How ballsy is that?! After witnessing the Challenger disaster in person she STILL went to space. Balls of steel.

Oh thank fuck for that! #Eurovision

Finger is on the off button. Fuck Israel.

If you'd asked me what I though the Albanian entry would sound like before I had heard it, I would have said this. Exactly this. #Eurovision

I'm not sure the accordian really elevated that song. #Eurovision #SanMarino

Why are they wearing those things on their heads/faces? Why? #SanMarino #Eurovision

This is fucking glorious! #Sweden #Eurovision
