What's with these Righties. First Liz Truss (who?) kills the Queen, now JD Vance has killed the Pope. #pope

The odd thing about Easter is that you never know when it’s going to be, but it’s always on a Sunday. It’s the day when you can take the Yorkshire puddings out of the oven and say “it is risen” and it means a little bit more.

@channel4news.bsky.social Please can all interviews be carried out with interviewees sitting in the back of a moving car. Don't know what he said but beautiful.

@100climbs.bsky.social you've been on the telly - again 👍

@duke-university.bsky.social getting shirty over #WhiteLotus Never heard of them till this. (Spoiler alert) www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Amazing how the economic policies of the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social mirror the rule on screws. Lefty loosey, Righty tighty. #SpringStatement #budget

The selling point on heat pumps seems to be, it’ll save money. The real big thing about heat pumps is, it’ll save energy, using 3 to 4 x less for the same amount of heat. Sadly, in UK gas is 3 x more expensive that electric, so you break even, but you’re saving plant. www.bbc.co.uk/news/science...

@robbiemcewen.bsky.social "something that looks stupid shouldn't be allowed" There's some rum aero helmets out there. #TirrenoAdriatico #TNTsports

Sentient life on earth has lasted but a flicker. Just over a century since man worked out how to take to the air, 60 years since we discovered how to leave the planet. It's likely human life be extinguished before proper escape found or alien life discovered. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

As Trump now actively helps Russia kill Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, the silence of Republicans who used to say they were staunch supporters of Ukraine is deafening.

@robhatch.bsky.social It was in the 1890's and early 1900's that cyclists in Derbyshire complained about the limestone dust on the roads. The other major complaint was litter which, before the days or cans and cardboard, was glass. #stradebianchi

you don't, in fact, have to shove screencapped posts from twitter with terrible fucking takes into our faces here. if we wanted to hang out with a bunch of nazis (like some of you evidently do) and see this kind of shit, we'd still *be on twitter*

Trump's modus operandi seems to be to threaten to do things in a way that is so outrageous that other people rush to produce a saner, more adult solution to the issue in hand. But should it have to be this way. He is nuts, isn't he? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

All very well, I was in hospital once and a chap across the ward needed the pan and was calling for nurse. In his desperation he cried "I need a shit". There happened to group of dr's in the ward, as they left one hung back to berate him for his language. Awful. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

@robbiemcewen.bsky.social @robhatch.bsky.social Good afternoon on the TNT passed the first hurdle of adverts, it would be nice to have a countdown ticker or line as a warning as to when we are to be bombarded by the horrendous commercial messages. My cost to watch and listen to you has gone up 400%

Trump and Vance are utterly odious. They see only the value of dollars. They bring us closer to war. There's a very real chance that Zelensky will not survive the year alive. Shameful. Cancel Trump's state visit.

@cilliankelly.bsky.social watching Grand Camino first day on TNT sport. It's not a good experience. @robhatch.bsky.social you've sold your soul to the American shysters. All these bloody ads.

#TNTsport is intolerable for watching cycling, the adverts go on and on and on. It's horrendous and I'm paying money. Ghastly money grabbing Americans. Why don't they go to hell.

Could it be that those campaigning for women’s suffrage in the late 19th and early 20th century had some mountain to climb. This from Athletic News 24/04/1899 on the possibility of women participating in cycle racing.

Typo 1898 style, surely Vulcan CC

Frustratingly uninformative, in what direction, a compass bearing might be useful, and at what angle. Horzon is relative to where you find yourself, it's hilly round here. BBC News - Seven planets align in UK skies this week for last time until 2040 - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Jesus Christ, what an odious despicable shit. Manna from heaven for Putin.

What is it about Donald Trump that is not "upfront". In what way can he be described as a modest, thoughtful individual.

12.14pm "Trump's comments not intended to be accurate, but to shock, UK's ex-PM Johnson says” takes one to know one www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

They're shysters at Discovery+. In UK they've put prices up 400% and imposed advertising. It stinks but it's what you expect from the USA these days.

JD Vance can go to hell, Trump is not sheriff of this town. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2...
