Labour today looking at the Polish election results.

The UK press has a particularly skill in amplifying mad fringes in politics until they're so omnipresent they become meaningful if not mainstream, like some sort of self-fulfilling advertising prophecy. See BlueLab, TERFs, UKIP outside of EP elections...

Team, the Terry P fans are on it - most engagement I've ever had on a random "I'm reading a thing tweet"! I'll keep you all posted (pun intended) as I work across Discworld. Very welcoming! Happy pride etc.

I am reading my first Pratchett (Guards! Guards! as it was recommend and on sale) and feel quite strongly that I have now lived in England long enough to fully appreciate it, but I'm not sure I would have when my media diet was predominantly if not exclusively American. 2025 Sylvia says: v good!

Ah yes, the impossible parenting standard of not physically or sexually abusing your children. Woke has really gone too far. (Fwiw, I also think it's possible to not emotionally abuse your children - but I'm obviously some sort of communist noodle, so nevermind me.)

Sometimes a phrase just cuts through language barriers like a bullet

My wife today discovered the magical words that make me very excited about marking: "Would you like to join us at the Peppa Meets the Baby Cinema Experience?"

"There is nothing in this life that makes me feel more potent, sexual, or ready to triple the size of my brood than staying in my house all day with my children."

Angered, bewildered, and kind of resentful voice: way to go…official Democratic Party account

Oh yeah and we’ve really been showing our commitment to the rules based international trade order recently

That’s not the rule and you know it.

There will be parts of the union that are SO THRILLED that finally, they are becoming the miners that they've always cosplayed being (!)

8.53 am is a fine time to start drinking if you're in an "emails job" that just transmits knowledge, right guys.

"They can’t do that, can they, all this stuff they’ve been doing since the fire? Surely, we have emergency brakes to stop these kinds of things. Someone will intervene. I would look into who that is supposed to be exactly, but this glockenspiel isn’t going to tune itself."

I think I'm in an "emails job", technically, which is interesting, because I only actually get my job done when I'm done with my f'ing emails, which I could easily live without, 90% of the time (unless they are all replaced by meetings, in which case, I'll take the devil I can read, I guess).
