We love to see our 80's weirdos who decided to be big and weird and authentic in the face of regressive normative cultural trends rolling in to support this generation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vF2...

Some days you just wanna give up , let everything go and follow the light inside of a red cabbage

Sorry not sorry.

Ok, whose turn is it to write the crushingly inevitable sitcom?

‘And the charity you are playing for?’ ‘The Alexander Armstrong school fees fund.’

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

“Zelenskyy is the real thing. He stayed in Kyiv, when Russian forces were closing in & the city was under bombardment. Vance, by contrast, chose to move to an undisclosed location when confronted with a few hecklers on a skiing trip this weekend” www.ft.com/content/2e90...

The Sainsbury’s near me is on the ground floor of a tower of student residences. They are targeting their audience!

I see the James Bond franchise now belongs to Amazon. So that rules out bald billionaires who run evil international enterprises from being the bad guys, I guess.

“It’s what he would have wanted. He loved the garden.” — Mrs Innes

MAGA Farmer wants us to “come together” now that he’s facing the consequences of his vote. “I didn’t read project 2025 because it was my understanding that wasn’t what he was running on” 🙃🐆 youtube.com/shorts/9LtSM...

Some good news for a change Scientists found solar farms had a greater number of species & individual birds per hectare than surrounding arable land Solar did not pose a threat to national food security, esp when built on low or moderate grade agricultural land www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Britain's two-tier justice system: Environmental activists who merely discuss non-violent protest tactics to highlight climate breakdown get smashed with an iron fist. Meanwhile landowners who repeatedly cause disruption, motivated by their own entitlement and greed, suffer no consequences.

Oops 😬

Love this.

Rosa Parks was born on this day in 1913. My favorite photos of the #CivilRights activist were taken in 1973 of her doing yoga at age 60. Parks understood that “self-care is part of resistance.” ✊🏾💜 www.yogajournal.com/yoga-101/his... #BlackWomen #BlackHerstory #BlackHistory

Things which are not like the 4077th Field Hospital during the Korean War: Flood repairs in Manchester

So the first year of Wales 20mph default limit saw 26% fewer casualties on the countries roads. That's an amazing drop and a lot less stress on the emergency services and NHS. Can we have this in England too now? the evidence is clear that it saves lives. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

So…which holidays are the DEI ones and which ones aren’t? Oh, *you know.* statenews.com/article/2025...

People don’t ‘jump to conclusions’ about you, Vince. They see and hear you being vile to folk around you and then using oleaginous manipulation (usually fuelled by cash) to appear to be nicer than you actually are. #TheArchers

If she shows up in something you’re watching, shit is about to get real

No, I'm sorry. We're very busy tonight.

Adds arthritis to the fuck you list of getting old.

Remember the connecting path that a local councillor says she got “removed” from the Holt Road cycle scheme? We asked for the results of the public consultation... Over *three to one* in favour of the path! Re-instate the path now! www.norwichcyclingcampaign.org/strong-suppo...

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

"When inmates are released from federal prison, the Justice Department places a call to their victims, notifying them that the defendant who attacked them is now free. On Tuesday, the phones of U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. police officers were buzzing nonstop." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Hugo Keith, "Was core NHS spending protected to any extent during that decade prior to 2020?" Dr Jenifer Dixon, "Over that decade the NHS received about half than it would have expected per annum" #CovidInquiry

People might be able to explain away the Nazi salute 🙄 But it’s harder to explain away the actual fascist stuff they say and do. And that’s the point isn’t it? You’re not a Nazi just because of the salute, it’s the things you actually believe and enact. The salute distracts/deflects from that.

Disappointed to hear @petroc.bsky.social announce on the radio this morning that today is “blue Monday, the saddest day of the year” when what he should have said was that it is MY BIRTHDAY today and that this a cause for widespread celebration

A little comic about desire paths.

I hope everyone is raising a damn fine cup of coffee today.
