Anyone want to see a picture of Meg? She’s a cross breed between a poodle and an Irish Setter. Just thought this might cleanse the timeline a bit.

I never thought in my lifetime that not only would I see a US president being so openly and regularly compared to Hitler, but that such accusations are not met with outrage by the White House.

Remember when The Simpsons made out that Homer was a loser because he could afford a three bedroom house, two cars, a cat and a dog and feed his family on a single wage? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/o...

No idea how Starmer is going to get his head around this shit. I mean, if a major war started I haven’t a clue who’s going to be fighting who right now. I just wish he’d come of No10, look at Larry the Cat and say ‘Yeah me and the cat are pretty sure none of this is cos of equality and diversity’.

Just started my weekend read. It zips along at a fair old pace, has fully formed characters that leap off the page and is unexpectedly funnier than I was expecting.

You can high talk the hell out of what just happened. It was robust diplomacy; it was geopolitical posturing - yeah yeah! You show that footage to any kid who’s been on the receiving end of playground bullying and they’ll tell you exactly what’s going on there.

Listened to Billy Joel’s Piano Man today for the first time in years. The lyrics ‘Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy And probably will be for life’ - Yeah, I just figured out what’s going on there. Haha, so unworldly.

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.

Excellent talk last night by @annamazz.bsky.social at Hull Noir. Funny, interesting and engaging throughout. Fascinating to hear how preparing to write a novel is basically a major research project. Genuinely looking forward to reading those books too 😁👍 @hullnoir.bsky.social

All I can say, as someone who works in higher education and is a humanities graduate, is yes to all of this! Actual graffiti artists provide more cultural and creative value through their vandalism than successive wrecking ball governments vandalising our education sector.

The Arts and Humanities Alliance have written an open letter to Bridget Philippson, Secretary of State for Education, on the recently announced cuts across the sector. We are concerned that these measures disproportionately affect our disciplines and call for an urgent government review.

Looking for an alternative to Amazon to buy your books? Well, firstly, why not re-acquaint yourself with your library library and independent bookshops. And for online alternatives, Bookshop seems to be a decent place to try out. uk.bookshop.org?gad_source=1...

👋 Hi Labour. We have an idea... Rather than taking money off disabled people - some of the poorest people in society - you could tax the super-rich properly and raise billions to help fix our crumbling public services 👍
