This is spot on 😊

Happy 35th #TwinPeaks Thank you @markfrost.bsky.social #davidlynch

Stand with us, or fall against us. Flippers up.

My tulips are starting to bloom ☺️

Love this

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

a heist movie but instead of stealing anything i just sneak into wherever the large hadron collider is and bop it with a wrench until we end up in a timeline that isn’t so fucking stupid

The stages in MAGA responding to a negative story: 1: It's all lies 2: Most of it is lies 3: Some of it's true, but it doesn't matter 4. It's all true, but it's fine when we do it 5. F**k you

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

In December, I wrote a piece about people's declining ability to process information, to distinguish fact from opinion, etc, and how this might soften us up to become overly-dependent on AI. You could read it, but this guy just summarised it in two tweets!

A sliver of sun in the distance

My child just asked if the x in SpaceX stands for explode. 😭

Oh noes, Americans get to drink bourbon and Zinfandel while the beleaguered Europeans will be forced back on armagnac and Sancerre, the lights are going out all over Europe.

Very informative thread

Thought I’d finish off the last few episodes of Season 3 #BigBoys this morning. I was not ready for this 😭😭😭

Oh, I didn’t know all he needed to do was call for an end to it.

Just so we're clear was it not a crisis when it was the other way around?

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

This is really good.

“Started making it. Had a breakdown. Bon appetit”

Every news channel has been saying all day the Tate brothers' history is one of misogyny, their return is shady, and the effect on victims traumatic. AND YET... all of them are standing by to livecast any remark the Tates care to make after landing, live and in full. You are part of the problem.

There was no campaign Kamala Harris and the Democrats could have run that overcame the combination of racism and stupidity addling tens of millions Americans.

You'd think having so little awareness of your job that you accidentally cancelled something like ebola prevention, even if "very briefly" would be a sackable offence.

My lunch view today

“When fascism begins to creep in around us…. Trusting your instincts, naming the threat and sharing your fears isn't just cathartic - it's empowering. It might even save your life.” No excuses. No equivocation. We call it what it is. And them what they are. Very good letters in @theguardian.com

A thing about loss. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If your instinct tends a bit towards catastrophising - not unreasonable right now - and asserting confidently an opinion along the lines of: "all is lost, US is done, nobody can do a thing, may as well calm down, go home, and wait for the end," stop and ask who benefits from people pushed to apathy.

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

I have three reviews to go for the Obs but today, after 180 of them, is my last column for OFM. So I thought I’d summarise my searing advice from the last 15 years: the wisdom, the provocations and the occasional stupidities. Enjoy. Or grind your teeth. Your call www.theguardian.com/food/2025/fe...

Vance’s grotesqueness aside, the whole thing is one of the most horrific acts of betrayal ever committed by a democratic state against another. Just a moral abomination and a permanent stain on everyone who supports it

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

What a great song 🎶

Christ alive knows what that babbling imbecile is talking about. She must be on crack.

Just woke up and listened to the news.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Ever wondered why it takes months to get your scan report back? In 2024, the government reduced NHS consultant radiologist funded posts, from 518 to 152 due to ‘financial pressures’. This means that we have consultant radiologists out of jobs. This leads to delays in scan reports and treatment.

This sums it up nicely

BREAKING: America

I turned down a job at the Quaker Porridge warehouse - when they asked why I said: “Hauling oats? I can’t go for that (no can do)”
