The Celebrity Traitors is absolutely cracking this year,.honestly.

The local regional market has started using AI slop as adverts for the market. I really want to tell them that it's shit but I live in a small town and everyone knows everyone and do I really want to be *that* person for everyone to see?

A gentle reminder …

No ingredient does more heavy lifting than the jam in a Jammy Dodger. The non-jammy biscuit bits are really poor quality.

You can do languages if you're curious about how other people see the world, if you want to live experiences to the fullest, if you long to share songs and stories, if you aim to influence and persuade, if you're looking to connect across borders. Languages expand horizons and options for everyone.

"This morning, Germany is one nation again." This is how BBC Breakfast News reported on German reunification on 3 October 1990.

Omg Kate Garraway gagged her with that question

Most TV is just this now.

I'm half-British and half-Thai. A random right-winger verbally racially abused me in the street for no reason at all. That same man was in my A&E ward a couple of days later due to a cardiac arrest. I was the doctor who saved him. There's a moral in that story somewhere.

Whatever you got used to while growing up I guess...

@andygoodliffe.bsky.social Happy birthday old man! I hope it’s a good day and things are well over there. Take it easy. 🎉🎂🎈

A shrinking population, retiring baby boomers and falling immigration are combining to deepen Germany's labour crisis. Eastern states in particular face big gaps, just as far-right politics push potential workers away.

Local libraries shouldn't just be for novels and children's storytime. Local libraries should offers access to academic journals. Maybe not every journal as there are so many. But they should offer access to a few of the top journals in every field.

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

You really want to know why kids are depressed and isolated? It's not social media. Or phones. Adults have created a world with fuck all future. No job security. No owning your own home. No real action on climate. Adults need to take responsibility for what they have done.

Beautiful hasn’t always been ‘beautiful’. In Old English, one of the words for it was ‘sċēne’. This word became ‘sheen’, but as an adjective, it’s all but dead. Its Germanic cognates include German ‘schön’, Dutch ‘schoon’, and Swedish ‘skön’. They were derived from a verb related to ‘show’: 1/

So. Finally watched the Odyssee. And what can I say.. in spite of lots of brilliant thoughts and pieces I read over those last days.. Main take away for me: The world would be a better place without men. The safest spot in life is when you’re on your ship. Bring ear plugs.

A masterpiece. Perfect. 10/10. 🤣😂🤣

I coach kids football. My team hasn't won a game all season. That's because I have an inclusive team and take all kids who want to play. I'm oversubscribed. I look down on coaches whose teams win because they kicked out all the weaker children.

"Hello Dave!"

The Genocide is ongoing in Gaza, despite the 'Ceasefire' Israel is killing 3-4 people every day, starving the rest and forcing them to live in some of the worst conditions on the planet. Yet everyone pretends it is over.

German broadcast. Nailed it

I must admit, I'm one of those who doesn't mind being forced to not shop on Sundays and having a quiet day in the neighborhood. But I can easily shop during the week. I assume I'd feel differently if I worked full time.

Changing the Prime Minister every two years isn't the answer to all our problems you think it is.

The extreme weather we have now is not the new normal. It’s going to keep getting worse as long as we continue to burn fossil fuels.

I mean, maybe this emphasizes the theological implications even more.

fascinatingly* the French news is translating "Count Binface" as « le Compte Tête-de-Poubelle » rather than « Visage-de-Poubelle) which is, in fairness, more accurate (his entire head is a bin, not just his face) typical British media not asking the important underlying questions * ta gueule
