That it would be illegal? That it’s all obviously illegal?

Finally the recognition I deserve

16 May 2025 Consecutive dry days The area of absolute drought grows that bit bigger. #ukweather #drought

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

Starmer's language was deplorable. It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy. But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵

‘Yeah, I know I’m supposed to ring it to get a treat, but you put the box here and the bell is all the way over there. *sigh* I’m pointing at it. You can see me pointing at it. Don’t pretend you don’t understand. If you want me to ring it drag the box a bit nearer…your life hangs by a thread.’

SOFT HANDS!! HOW MANY TIMES?! SOFT HANDS!! DO YOU THINK YOU’LL REMEMBER NOW?!

I think mallards do look a lot like all other mallards though. There’s a uniformity to their look. Unless you’re telling me there’s only been one mallard in the area for the last 7 years I’d wager it’s one of the others. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Sadly, the fact he couldn’t name his sources is the least surprising thing about this story. What a shit-show the 21st century is becoming. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Obviously Trump is notorious for cheating at golf but he’s referring an entirely standard feature of match play. I would guess in Trumpworld the putts he expects to be given are significantly longer than the ones he gives in return.

My advice to anyone thinking of felling trees for a laugh is to avoid the iconic ones.

‘We need to be prepared’. Hmm, what if the last 2 years had been among the wettest on record. With spending on infrastructure would we have captured that rain somehow? Might that be the only form of preparation that matters? Is it now a bit late to prepare? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Air traffic controllers at Newark airport briefly lost communications with planes under their control, 'unable to see, hear, or talk to them.' The 28 April incident led to multiple employees going on trauma leave, contributing to hundreds of delayed flights."

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

‘So if you’ve been following my shelf stacking instructions as you claim, how is it possible that I’m sitting here?’

Let’s phase out Tony Blair. Sign my petition.

Based on a quick read of about 10% of the comments I would say everybody who responded to this article is part of the problem. If you drive, cycle or pedestrian badly, you probably do the same for all three. (The article itself is fine). www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well played #Spurs. They came to Anfield with a job to do and they did not disappoint.

Yes, they will. #WorldBollardAssociation

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

Did not know St George was a megalomartyr. Well done him.

BBC considers second law of thermodynamics as ‘potentially treading on an area of public controversy.’
