Bluesky is no longer a place I can hide from the horrors of Russia/Trump so bye for now

The inevitable Rubio-Lavrov Pact will be infamous. It even sounds evil.

Watching Borgen to get nostalgic about a well functioning Europe

Sounds like Conclave was a well timed release then.

Keir Starmer announcing Labour has hit NHS targets 9 months early, following an announcement we are ready to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. Kemi Badenoch giving a speech at a think tank saying western culture is under attack by woke. Richard Tice sending tweets doubting global warming.

Join the @manchestereveningnews.co.uk now. Today, we get the restaurant reviewer who writes like an angry teenager, to cover serious transport infrastructure.

These people won't be happy until they've literally erased trans people from public life. Literally made it illegal to be trans. A thing that it has NEVER BEEN BEFORE. Trans people have lived happy lives in this country for centuries. These fascists want such people dead.

if you're looking to UNSUBSCRIBE, there ARE replacements that are PRO-Mentalhealth: twitter (xitter) -> bluesky spotify -> foobar2k youtube -> vlc media player instagram -> WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! (GBA) netflix -> Michigan: Report from Hell (PS2) face book -> Unreal Tournament 99 (PC)

The Trump Gaza plan will not happen. The United States has neither the authority or the ability to enforce "peace" in Ukraine. Americans are panic-buying eggs and there's a toddler - several - in the Oval Office. I think the possibility of everything just collapsing in chaos is under-priced.

Why are the GOP so bad at running one of the easiest economies in the world to manage fuck me

Mad how right wing Insta suddenly got in the UK. Algorithms have completely overtaken the state.

In the early 1930s, German communists, obeying Stalin, insisted Hitler didn't matter and was merely capitalism's dying gasp. The real enemy was "social fascism", i.e. Social Democrats, the moderate left. They kept saying this *after* most of their members were locked up in camps.

Everything you've been told about the 'unpopularity' of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods is a lie.

New president of Syria on The Rest of Politics? From jihad to neoliberal darling?

I met Andrew Gwynne at a party event once. He wasn’t very down to earth and wasn’t very funny

I like Kendrick and all but his fashion sense is absolutely horrific

Paradise on Disney+ is very very good

this guy being the shadow president and posting like this is proof that, just like the cold war, gamergate never truly ended

I think he probably could have got away with wishing constituents dead, but the British people will simply not wear "fuck your bins".

Statement from Walk Ride GM on the comments made by Andrew Gywnne MP and local councillors about a local campaigner

Great to see the Fallowfield Loop in the national news. All good I hope? Oh. Oh dear.

Struggling to shake off the idea that small indies in Manchester did better under the Tories than Labour. And that’s before we get to Labour fumbling Levy Market

Great to see Labour push towards Nuclear. If Scandinavia can do it so can we

Metro mayors are like food halls. Just because it’s worked for Manchester/Altrincham doesn’t mean it’ll work elsewhere.

Holy shit

Local man sacked for extorting the state out of £400k threatens to leave the Labour Party

Good news that will be on every front page tomorrow

Huh, I though Trump’s tariffs would be bad for the markets but I guess not

Pep is gone

Some of birth places on memorial to the 90 men from British Battalion killed in the Ebro Battle. Hill 705 (Coto 705), Serra de Pàndols, which saw some of bitterest fighting in the terrible heat of that Catalan summer. The memorial ends with "They died fighting for freedom of Spain"

The gym bro’s are calling pink salt a supplement now? Come on lads.

There was some recognition at the time that a successful Brexit project would have to mean conciliating the 48% who voted remain; as Lewis says, the 0% here makes it hard to imagine any cause failing more spectacularly

As part of my ongoing rant entitled "Britons would rather become a lossmaking slum landlord than invest their savings on the stock market", I've decided that the government needs to demand Homes Under The Hammer is taken off air for the good of the nation as part of the BBC licence fee negotiations.

Good 20mph stats - first full year: 10 fewer deaths 26% fewer crashes 28% lower casualties This represents a £58 Million saving to society in the first year alone - which more than pays for the £32m one-off cost of the signs! www.gov.wales/police-recor...

Weird thing about RFK Jr is he doesn’t look healthy but acts as if he has the elixir of life

Would have happily written Rachel Reeves’ speech myself. All good things. Burn the green book.

Ofwat allowing UU to increase bills by 32% is hilarious. Weak weak weak.

NASDAQ bounced back, nothing ever happens

One way to win the economic competition with China would be to make apps that don't suck shit. Have you considered that

We’re overwhelmed by all the generous donations from Traitors fans after hearing Alexander Dragonetti’s story! 🎉 You’d wanted to know how much has been raised... #TheTraitors #AlexanderDragonetti

DeepSeek really made what was a dreadful Monday much worse so cheers I guess

Something funny about Stockport having the best years of its life whilst it’s admittedly beautiful theatre is stuck in the past.

@samcoatessky.bsky.social was expressing his astonishment yesterday on Sky News that the PM had singled out one judicial review applicant to blame for the legal challenges bedevilling infrastructure projects. Let’s fix that 😈 Here’s a story that starts with a man shut in his cellar.

Planning to not be killed by a tree today

En route to Edinburgh. Gonna have a scrap with the wind tomorrow
