Well said!

We’re working on a collaborative animatic of David’s special episode! We have lots of talented folks signed up already, but the more we get, the more likely it is we’ll be able to get the whole thing done! Signups are open until March 12. Link to the form and the project discord below 👇🏼

Word of the day is ‘lickspittle’ (17th century): a person who fawns upon someone in power for personal gain.

After all the Red Carpets, the ceremony itself, the after party & the after-after parties, nothing compares to the warm welcome upon my return home. 🐕 🐶 🐾 #Oscars2025

America, just in case you thought Friday went well here’s how the London Times saw it …..

I have been writing a silly substack about my crafting obsession, but today it is also about a fundraiser! rosiecarnahandarby.substack.com/p/i-hate-was...

In light of Trump’s latest catastrophe, here’s a musical reinterpretation of the Star Spangled Banner by the brilliant Bill Bailey youtu.be/_dVFknALySA?...

In just *one* decade, Volodymyr Zelensky has attained a command of the English language that surpasses that of the 78 year old Ogre-in-Chief, who, despite being a native English speaker, has yet to master it. Precious lamb.

You guys, Con has been the SWEETEST, most engaged donor throughout this process - checking in on the total, asking how he can help, doing his absolute fucking BEST to make as much of a difference as he can — let’s show him how much we appreciate him by getting this price UP: #ofmdcraftfair

Vance to Zelenskyy: you don’t say thank you. Truth:

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

#IStandWithZelenskyy 🇺🇦 Pass it on.

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

It might not be #Roman, but for me this is one of the highlights of the NY Met Museum collection - a bowl standing on a lovely pair of human feet! It was made more than 5500 years ago, in predynastic Egypt AncientBlueSky #Archaeology

Andrew Tate & his brother have left Romania & are on a plane to the US Was a travel ban on them lifted because of lobbying by the new US administration?

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Bargain alert!!!

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

@romanpalace.bsky.social and @yorkadventurers.bsky.social I love your wit and unabashed flirting with each other. You fill my nerdy American heart with glee. A much needed balm for the weary soul. Thank you for your shenanigans

A French way of saying something is tip-top, especially a fine wine, is c’est le petit Jésus en culotte de velours. It means “it’s the baby Jesus in velvet underpants.”

Very much looking forward to this. I’m there on the 14th but there are lots of great speakers. Check it out!

Love it.😄🤣😄

every vote (and we currently need only 100 of them to pull into the lead) for ed & stede is a punch in david zaslav’s face btw 🥰🫶 👉 telltaletv.com/2025/02/vote... 👈

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

If you haven’t followed the fantastic adventure of #sophiefromromania, you may as well start now 😉 By doing that, I promise you will not only learn a lot about dog behaviour, but much, much more🙂 Just follow @sociabledog.bsky.social, @rorycj.bsky.social and @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social

Somewhere deep in the bowels of the Pentagon an exasperated general bangs a table with his fist and says to his assembled co-conspirators "Damn it, 500 extremely detailed plans on how to remove a President who has gone insane but every single one of them requires the President to be a socialist"

I nearly missed the fact that it's #superbowl Sunday youtu.be/nT_n4pxxM1M?... and this owl is truly Superb!🏺

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

Oops 😬

Female genital mutilation is a crime under EU law. It violates human rights, including the right to life, in some cases, as the procedure can be deadly. More than 600,000 survivors are currently living in the EU. Today we mark the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation.

This morning I've been teaching Deb Cumbrian sheep counting. Yan,tyan,tethera, etc. But she keeps giggling at pimp, dick, yan-a-dick, bumfit and giggot. What's so funny about five, ten, eleven, fifteen and twenty?!

Just noticed we’re on 475 followers. It’s a big axe, but can we get to 500 followers by the end of the month?

Personally, I am much more concerned with whether Meals on Wheels recipients will continue to receive their food than I am with what a celebrity is going to be eating at the Super Bowl.

@materialwills.bsky.social could you possibly help please? I’m looking for early C16 wills or inventories which mention garden tools, in particular watering equipment. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack but I just got to ask in case someone has spotted that ‘thumb pot’! Thank you!

Apart from damaged and broken feathers papa 🦢 seems ok.
