So, when I was a student working a summer job, I got an extremely strange mass email from some nutjob, that opened with "BRITNEY IS MINE!" and only got weirder from there. The author was clearly quite ill, and a cursory Google showed he'd crossposted his rant to several online message boards....

Welcome

Confirmed - new Avengers team to have ATTITUDE!

Meanwhile I am fretting about loosing the small amount of PIP I receive … www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

⚠️PERMANENT #FacialRecognition cameras on our streets⚠️ This tech is capable of ID'ing and tracking any one of us. It changes what it means to just live our lives. And trust in police is at an all-time low. There are no laws covering this tech. Gov must urgently create safeguards to protect us all

I took this ON MY PHONE! Completely unedited - I learned how to use the long exposure and ISO functions and was having a lot of fun with them on holiday! #astronomy #astrophotography #space #smartphoneastronomy

I think we all know...

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK Led By Donkeys is 100% funded by small donations.

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

I'm torn between being annoyed that they made the pink ranger white for this strip, or reading this at clever meta-commentary on the show doing the same thing in reverse in its third season. ...I need to get out more.

Day 30: A song that reminds you of yourself: Nightwish - High Hopes So it's been a LOT more than 30 days since I started this, but we got there in the end! Closing things out with this banger of a cover! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oED...

Imagine trusting a party with your human rights that when last in power passed anti strike laws designed to rob millions of workers of their democratic right to strike, locked millions of people out of the electoral process & stripped back our right to protest & limited our rights to judicial review

I mean, if you're going to do this, at least do it to two people at once. When they both get stood up, ask if they'd like to share a table. Double the food sold and you might actually have happy customers at the end of it.

Day 29: A song you remember from your childhood: John Forward - Catch the Wind Something a little different today. This is an old mate of my dad's, who recorded a cassette tape of folk music for us. We used to listen to it on long car journeys. I still have a copy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbEG...

This is *magnificent*. 10/10 no notes.

Someday there will be a generation who, instead of a drawer full of random cables and adapters kept around "just in case", will have space to store something actually useful.

UK bus stops. #3E #EndOligarchy

Ofgem increases its price cap for a third consecutive quarter 10% hike in October 1.2% hike in January 6.4% hike in April What part of “price cap” doesn’t Ofgem understand?

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

This is very cool (well, hot). Hell of an achievement!

Day 28: A song by an artist whose voice you love: Derina Harvey Band - Excursion Around The Bay www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKAV...

To be clear, there was nothing accidental about this - it was pure spiteful incompetence.

I mean if they're going to drive around in such flammable vans, they have to expect this sort of thing...

Day 27: A song that breaks your heart: David Bowie - Life on Mars? I don't even know why this gets me like it does, but it gets me every. Single. Time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZKc...

All 50 US States protested today but you wouldn’t know it unless you are on BlueSky. Remember to keep reaching out for others to join. This movement is going to get a lot bigger and we need all hands on deck. You are not alone. #3E #USprotests

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk. Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly. #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17 (🎥 @vuralelibol.bsky.social )

The right do this in this country as well. Beware anyone suggesting that something deserves jail time just because they don't like it.
