I don't think there should be a defibrilator on Snowdon. And that's a hill I'm prepared to die on

Pandas are essentially the wrong shape to be an animal, they're somehow both top heavy and bottom heavy

Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

It’s an unpopular view but Arsenal’s title is the story of considerable overperformance against wealthier opposition - City’s higher wage bill is the equivalent of more than five Sakas It wasn’t always pretty but it is maximising everything you’ve got www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

I checked this too. *20 seconds* of Reform logo display. *No other* party logo displayed. In local election purdah. This is not normal. At all.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social Congrats on the book. Very much looking forward to reading it. I am in the UK, is there a way I can pre-order it?

Not rude things, a thread:

The Western civilisation the nationalist right claims to treasure looking monsters like Trump, Vance, Farage and Jenrick straight in the face and telling them to fuck right off.

Oh man. It's just one thing after another.

This April will see an unprecedented change in energy bills, so if your fix is ending, or you’re on a Price Cap tariff should you fix now? Let me take you through it… Courtesy of The Martin Lewis Money Show, watch the full ‘reboot your finances for 2026’ episode on www.itv.com/watch/the-ma...

ProTEct truSTed LocAL nEWS This isn't even designed to wind people up and hope they share it. It's just an exploitation of Birmingham Live's privileged position on Google Discover/Apple News. The whole point is to deceive people into clicking. An industry built on total contempt for its audience.

👇 This is a) obviously correct b) resisted by most in the political class because it makes so much of what we do redundant.

We are so far through the looking glass that the man who tried to overthrow an election becomes president, the people who attacked the Capitol are turned into martyrs, & it's the BBC that gets punished - cheered on by the worst news outlets in the UK & the two most dishonest politicians of our age.

In one crisp para — & the 2 charts he highlights — @chrisgiles.ft.com bursts a huge number of “welfare” myths www.ft.com/content/ee67...

It's fascinating how there are still replies on this, and indeed on every post about the decline of the Tories, with people on the left and centre-left people going 'good'. Honestly, I don't know how big of a warning sign you need that the death of the Tory party is bad for your politics!

Labour is scared of its own shadow The Tories are in disarray The far left keeps politically exploding when they try to organise anything The Lib Dem’s are appealing to their base The Greens are confident but small And amid that a vacuum is opening up, leading to the current situation

Just a flow chart infernally looping back to “Have we tried bribing pensioners more?”

Seeing this in the church my family go to/run. Apologists for the likes of Anderson just because he speaks about his "faith". More and more of that church are vocally leaning towards Reform. This follows some UK churches being influenced by and involved with Right wing (Trump supporting) US churches

On the trophy of the club WC, it says: “The golden era of club football: the era of the Club World Cup. The pinnacle of all club competition. Inspired by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, the competition, first staged in 2025, eclipses any precedent.” I am not making this up.

I learned yesterday that my elderly parents weren't going to renew their house insurance "because it's all now online and too daunting." Suffice it to say I said I'd help them sort it, but I wonder how many elderly are losing services because the Internet is scary/impersonal to them.

Thing is, this was an ad campaign *aimed at women* and it was iirc astonishingly successful at increasing sales to women (which is why it ran for so long). Irony wasn’t invented recently!
