Had to say goodbye to our wonderful William, totally heartbroken. RIP my beautiful boy.

No one should minimise the suffering caused at Fort Hood, and survivors, bereaved families, and the whole of society need to see justice done. But execution is not justice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Seriously… how can a party that insists on scrapping all progress with the EU, binning NetZero and leaving the ECHR, so that it can abuse its power without accountability… how can that party claim “the soul of the nation”. The ruin - maybe. The soul - definitely not.

Holy shit.

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

The way Kenny Rogers’ whole face lights up the moment he hears Dolly Parton’s voice coming from offstage.

Dolly's gone. What kind of world are we left with? Kindness, respect and empathy have taken parts of themselves with her. A wonderful woman; talent, generosity and humour in a beautiful rhinestone package. The world's a worse place without her, we'll all miss you forever. RIP.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social wrote about a 1945 US leaflet on how to spot fascism in America. I thought it might be worth screenshotting the relevant bit. ALL of the these warnings have come to pass in the past year. 1/2

"If he'd say 'Up the Ra' for £86, what do you reckon he'll do for £5m?" The Cameo neo-Nazi endorsement for £141. The convicted rioter sympathy for £155. The £5m from a crypto billionaire. Marina Purkiss connects the dots.

If chronicle means amplifying every division, belittling Starmer at every opportunity, downplaying every achievement and delighting in parroting the Tory line in dreadful prose, then Mason has chronicled the last two years. Sadly it doesn't, and Mason has been a participant not a neutral observer.

JD Vance isn't self-aware enough to know that Watergate only looks like a smaller story now because JD's boss is *exponentially* more corrupt than Nixon could ever be.

@pollybillington.bsky.social Banning SM for under 16's, may or may not work (I'm sure they'll find ways around it), but the government announcing this on X (one of the major perpetrators of this content) is so bad. It's time to stop using that platform, Musk won't change.

Why does the world still allow trophy hunting? We've done so much harm already. RT if you think there should be a worldwide ban on this barbaric practice. Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #climate #TrophyHunting #nature #rewilding #GreenNewDeal #biodiversity

The portrait is out of the attic.

A beautiful voice, a singer/songwriter legend, and this song has particular relevance today. Play it everywhere. RIP Neil, thank you for the music. youtu.be/3VGd7pDHtIA?...

'Share' if you're proudly anti hunt!

@peteregan46.bsky.social Welcome to Bluesky Peter, you'll find it's a much better place than the other one 👌.

I feel sick reading Labour’s asylum policy. They’re setting fire to their base and the scum they’re pandering to despise them regardless. It’s simple. Process and let asylum seekers work and pay tax. It’s indefensible despicable shit. I’m fucking disgusted by them.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

Just watched the new Frankenstein. So bloody good. Costumes, filming, story, lighting and atmosphere brilliant. Emotional, horrific and beautiful all that the same time.The truest version of a Frakenstein movie so far. Thanks to #guillmernodetonoro .

Goodbye 'Siralee Valentine'. Jump off your roof, feel the sun on your back and be in water that's as deep as forever ❤️. Love you - No Honestly! RIP #paulinecollins It might be chips and egg for tea 😍.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social On the subject of autumn comfort foods my go to is Cawl, with crusty bread - the best. As for fasolakia, it's everyday food whatever the season - love it.

@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Loved 'A Cure For love', never seen it before, always loved Robert, and he's great in this, along with all that fab cast. Thanks TPTV, keep bringing these 'lost' movies to us 👏👏😁

Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

If you need your day brightening up, just sit back and enjoy the way former Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies says the word "midges". You're welcome.

This is the definition of patriotism 👏🏼👏🏼👊🏻✊🇺🇸 Marine officer in LA speaks out against the rise of fascism in our country!! 🇺🇸💙

Welcome Eddie, looking forward to a lifetime together ❤️

A blistering takedown of Brexit has gone viral, as a member of public torched Tice, and the Brexit, calling it “a con.” He accused Brexit leaders of selling the public “a lie” and described the policy as “sanctions on ourselves.” #ukpolitics

@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Love that you have a Jacques Tati season. Playtime was a great start; I'd forgotten how funny it was, I cried laughing. What a Tonic. Can't wait to see the others. Thank you so much.

The truth behind Spinderella

Every bit of this is gold. Imagine being so impenetrably thick, so unremmittingly entitled, so irredeemably soured, that you dress like a giant lemon meringue and go on record, in print, forever, to complain that migrating to avoid tax has triggered your debilitating terror of orecchiette broccoli.

Absolute clown car of a country. Be like having Barbara Windsor appear before select committee on nursing.

“We’re at a crossroads in history” Starmer truly has stepped up this week, even his harshest critics can surely admit that. He’s come into his own as a diplomat and it’ll likely do Britain good in the long run. I’m starting to feel much more more hopeful about the UK under Labour’s leadership now.

I don’t know who the photographer is, but when I saw this picture on Pinterest, it was too precious not to share. #Lions #Wildlife #Nature

Slava Ukraini. ✊🇺🇦

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch today launches her campaign for “Free Speech” in the UK, taking her lead from Musk. A reminder that “Free Speech” is Right Wing code for the freedom to cause harm by saying racist, misogynistic or homophobic things in public without consequence.

Calling all sensible & friendly Americans… …to ensure that America’s own internal dynamics haul this prat away from trying to bully us. Do that - and you’ll be doing us a real solid. ✊ 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

❤️❤️❤️

Have a Fabulous Tuesday!! #Peace ☀️ #Gratitude ##PositiveEnergy ☀️

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.
