I've just signed "Marks & Spencer - stop advertising on GB News" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @StopFundingHate

It shouldn't need saying that you don't beat racism by simply joining the racists, but here we are.

Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified… …once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’. Constitutions need constitutionalism, most of all.

Perfectly captured.

I know it's only Thursday, but I predict this will be the funniest thing I see all week.

It’s still sickening to think of the various forms of gestures yesterday. Even more so to see various groups, including media & some minority groups, tell us what we saw, we didn’t see. This is not unprecedented, unfortunately: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a....

Kitten does something unbearably cute. Tries to get the phone out before he … Darn it! 🙄 #kitten #cats #catsofbsky

This is a fascinating little story of our times. 1 hyper-partisans & contrarian nitwits make obviously false claims. 2 fact-checkers, journalists etc easily debunk the lies. 3 AI launders the misinformation, vomiting it on to the internet as “fact”. 4 Gobshites double down on their BS, citing AI.

Absolutely lovely day, far too nice to be indoors! Local lanes full of spiders air-travelling across the road to the opposite hedge🕷️ #Shropshire #LongMynd

In case you're curious, this is the internal Meta "fuck DEI" announcement received by Meta employees

Say what now?

🤬

I don't understand the political timidity when it comes to regulating social media. These are companies that have decimated the free press, fuelled race riots on our streets, undermined the mental health of our children, paid little tax and are now undermining liberal democracy itself.

Quite shocked by this. Such sad news 💔

“Cognitive dissonance” is a very polite way of framing this …

Slushy snow walk today. Even the bleakest of winter views is made prettier with a light covering of the stuff. #UKSnow

I have to say I am really loving this new desk sharing arrangement 🥰 #catsofbsky #cats #kitten

This has had me giggling all afternoon. It was posted by @lisagillmore.bsky.social on X, but unfortunately she is not very active here, and I just have to share it. "Planning Christmas dinner like"

Pixar you cowards

Room full of satire writers will struggle to find a funnier line that the BBC Newsreader just now saying “The Chinese approached Prince Andrew in the hope of finding intelligence’”

@safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team Bluesky, you seem determined to become the little brother of X. Why? Why are you destroying the goodwill here by allowing this evil bastard Singal to spread hate here?

Campbell’s witty response to this homophobe makes me want to enjoy some of their delicious chicken noodle soup right now! 🍜 🏳️‍🌈

Any time we see another CEO pony up a million for Trump’s inauguration, remember this headline.

Pro life? Make this make sense 🤪

🤤

Ignore the miserable expression, she is actually very happy (and toasty) 🐱😉

Given all the conversation about puberty blockers this week, wouldn’t it be helpful to hear from… a trans person?! Huge thanks to Ask Awareness founder Stephanie Lynnette and her mother for sharing their stories of the five-year slog to get blockers (and that was in 2014) inews.co.uk/news/fought-...

You have all noticed this, right? "In 2023, citizen science data showed UK nations had a 78% decrease in flying insect abundance since 2004; the sharpest fall was 83% in England."

This. 100% every time ❤️
