With trump mulling/threatening to try and find a way to run again I think: let him try. Let the GOP sycophants line up to give it a good solid go only to be thrown out of the supreme court, wasting time, cash and goodwill whilst Dems organis... Wait, no, Dems couldn't organise a root in a brothel

Look, at least I *know* I have no interest in raising children. Figuring that out before the fact seems pretty damn important for your potential future kids.

A reminder: Jason Arday was innocent. "A fresh investigation by scientific publisher Taylor & Francis has concluded without substantiating plagiarism allegations against Jason Arday, the former Professor of Sociology of Education at the University of Cambridge."

The development of treatments for HIV so that all things being equal or no longer limits your life, and of PrEP to prevent transmission is huge

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

What the actual fuck is wrong with the UK where Rupert Lowe, thrown out of reform for being too racist, beats Zach Polanski And beats him by more of a margin than Nigel Fucking Farage

Luke Tryl@luketryl.bsky.social

🧵Tracking latest forced choice PM heads to heads 🌹Burnham easily beats every alternative, by the smallest margin against Badenoch & the largest against Polanski 🌳Badenoch beats other 4 leaders ➡️Farage only wins against Polanski 🌍Polanski loses each H2H (Lowe wins 2 but on much lower recognition)

Quite proud to say mine was the Addams Family

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

I haven't lived in the UK for a while now but, and I mean this in the literal sense, who does Amol Rajan think he is? He hosts university challenge and sometimes edits a newspaper?

Daniel McElroy@danielmcelroy0.bsky.social

Amol Rajan’s membership tiers…that is scandalous.

Ooo we've found this weekend's worst take.

Going to a restaurant is paying for overpriced mediocre food served in smaller portions that frankly leave you hungry. We maybe go out once a month if that much now. One main plate between the two of us and maybe an appetizer, and a couple of glasses of wine that cost as much as a bottle in store

Today was spent hunting for a secret ferret rescue centre. Let me explain. My son Fred has a tendency to rescue sad, abandoned or unwanted things. His three cats, several London pigeons in various stages of distress, and more recently, a growing collection of Marimo mossballs.

It has alternated between drizzle and storms here so I have done the only thing that can be done in this situation. I made soup

Why is the banjo guy from Mumford and sons, who has contributed nothing original to public policy discourse even a guest on newsnight? Like, seriously, what is he supposed to be contributing here?

The "red wall" is not a term you hear often these days

Tonia Antoniazzi and her mother are bigoted scum. Tell your friends.

What a heartless, cruel thing for an elected representative to say.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I really hate when media describes ministers/secretaries of foreign affairs as a nation's "top diplomat" They're politicians. Not diplomats. They're different things. You wouldn't describe a Prime Minister as a nation's 'top civil servant'

You have* to admire the audacity of air travelers in Türkiye who just take any seat they like the look of and then argue as to why they should move when whoever reserved the seat shows up. *No you don't, they're fucking annoying and cause delays why do they think this is acceptable behaviour.

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

Can't believe going to bed on time after a balanced meal and a little exercise means I sleep well and wake up feeling refreshed. Honestly this is completely unfair and should not be allowed.

The worst, absolute worst thing about living here is that I've had the shits on and off for a year including a full blown bout of giardia and have I lost any weight? Have I fuck.

When they talk about reducing red tape, remember this image.

The pitch here seems to be, ‘we’ll build the houses and infrastructure we failed to build during the 14 years we were in government, but we’ll do it in the most damaging and lowest quality way possible’. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Well those Latvian election results are fucking awful, aren't they? I just can't believe we're in a place where we hope that the National Fucking Alliance makes it into government to be a *moderating* influence.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

New GB News accounts are out. Here are their losses to date. Or "spent political donations" if you prefer
