How can this be October, with these blooms still appearing??

Excellent thread by the wonderful Emma Monk demonstrating the half arsedness of our press. They were far beyond negligent.

The venom in his voice when he said "not nearly long enough" just shows how little he understands about extended deployments and the impact on a ship and ship's company of so little time alongside.

An American interviewer asked me about my political beliefs. #VoteBinface

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

Things you can say in a swingers club as well as in a restaurant review for Kent Online.

I'd probably say Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn, since they've got to be sequential albums. And that they were the first three makes them extra special. And that they were all solo efforts even more so.

I live nearby, and despite going to Hayling regularly I'd never heard of Unify. I'll look out for his artwork next time I'm on the island. mastodon.social/@SussexByline...

So has anyone installed the iOS27 Public Beta yet? Any reason why I should hold back? Are there any significant reported app issues?

Here we go again. I don't know a single EV driver who isn't relieved they don't have to put up with dancing, high petrol prices anymore. Going electric is not only cheaper and cleaner, but it's just easier on the brain 🧠.

Well, if it's convinced Ian, it's convinced me too!! What a worthy candidate, he gets my support.

I have donated to Count Binface. I think this is the first time I have donated to a political candidate. Ko-fi.com/home/coffees...

He was born in France to French parents then grew up in Wimbledon. Very much a cross-channel Fery.

This is going to be excellent for loyalty cards. No more hunting around in another wallet app for supermarket cards. (Although the Coop have already managed to put their card in the wallet app) mastodon.social/@macrumors/11...

The Sky Podcast was brilliant, so hopefully the TV series will be as good. (Speaking as someone who's run similar wargames for NATO in the past) mastodonapp.uk/@bbcnewsfeed/1...

Are you watching, UK politicians? This is how it’s done. Don’t take crap from Trump. Stand up.

Obviously Reform were let down by a poor candidate in Makerfield, and all they need to do to achieve future success is to be certain only to pick candidates from the overlapping area in this Venn diagram.

Reform councillor resigned after "being exposed as a racist". What gave him away, apart from the Reform badge??

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. mstdn.social/@JeniParsons/116...

I'm assuming it's going to be windy around the UK tomorrow, since the unit price of electricity on the Octopus Agile tariff is actually negative from 0500 until 1600! I wish I hadn't charged my car today when it was 8p/kWh, when I could have waited until tomorrow and been paid to do it 🤣

As the racists foam at the mouth again over ‘invasion’, regular reminder that the British Sikh community, who are the ones under attack this time, earned its place in Britain through blood and sacrifice. Lest we forget. @sundersays.bsky.social @garius.bsky.social @andraswf.bsky.social

Right about now (BDST) W/C L.E. Healy, the AAEAF armaments officer, received a call from the Air Ministry reminding him that the 1000 lb bomb had not been cleared for use on the Hawker Typhoon. Healy replied with one of the finest memos of WW2. RCAF Typhoons had dropped 48 of them that morning.

Look at the difference between the way Farage responded to the murderers of Sarah Everad and Henry Novak. One a young woman murdered by a police officer and the other a young man murdered by a brown person.

This strikes me as a very measured and entirely reasonable response to the (IK) police actions responding to the dreadful murder of Henry Nowak.

My prayers are with the loved ones of the Royal Navy personnel who tragically died in this awful accident. They were serving their country in work that is dangerous, demanding and brave. Their loss is a painful reminder of just how much we ask of those who serve.

This reads as if 'Tulenkov' wants an urgent appointment with a 5th floor window - brave words from a Russian. I don't know enough about the conflict to know whether his forecast is likely but it's encouraging reading nonetheless!

Today is the 91st anniversary of the last diary entry of the first man who tried to climb Everest solo. Mind you, his plan had been to crash land a plane 14,000 feet up and then stroll the rest of the way, so perhaps he wasn’t destined to succeed 🧵

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄 🧵 1/21

The people I generally follow on BlueSky have generally got a good sense of humour, but looking at some of the replies to this makes me realise why so many people say it's a humourless, miserable place! Can't people spot when something's written in jest?

I've been using this app for the past few weeks, and it's brilliant. Delighted that it's developing so quickly. Highly recommend. mastodon.social/@genegoykhman...

Glorious- I searched Mike Oldfield and then spent a wonderful few minutes reading about the Tubular Bells Assembly Commission (1788-1903) mstdn.social/@kibcol1049/1166...

a horse walks into a bar and says to the barman, "on a right angled triangle with sides x, y and z, if x and z are perpendicular which side is opposite the right angle?", and the barman says "y, the long face"

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Is he riffing on "from the river to the sea"?

Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded. Republican voters have rejected the member of their own party most responsible for forcing the vote to release the Epstein files. All because Trump, a man named in the Epstein files thousands of times, didn't want them released. That says a lot. None of it good.

Post something from your camera roll that comes up when you search yellow car

i remember walking out of Force Awakens, annoyed with it. And there was a girl, maybe eight, with her mum. The girl was BOUNCING. "Mummy!! I can be an X-wing pilot!!" And THAT was the point i knew my opinion didn't matter for shit. i would die for the right of that girl to be an X-Wing pilot.

If I were Ukraine, I’d seriously consider whether to engage with this or not. For a whole load of reasons..

Nigel Farage is a GRIFTER - pass it on.

So, Labour tears itself apart to try to stop Farage being our next PM just as he finally faces scrutiny in a monumental corruption scandal which could… and really should…end his political career. I’d go hard on that rather than each other right now guys. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

We won every seat on Richmond upon Thames Council last week. But that doesn’t mean we’ve changed our mind on electoral reform. It’s time the Government stopped defending a broken system out of self-interest and backed proportional representation.

@ewacat.bsky.social I’m sorry, maybe, for the spam, but you need to see these

Can highly recommend this excellent series.

observation test for your inner 8-year-old. Can you spot the 6 creatures hidden in the picture? From Treasure magazine, 1965 Official answers coming soon (Even if you don’t reply, could you please ‘like’ or share this one?)

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Morning! Let’s all do our best today not to vote for racists.

With @romanpalace.bsky.social apparently being told to knock it off, it quietly seems @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social had also gone dark. If this is a wider trend in the museum space it's to be regretted. Museums don't just exist to hold stuff. They tell stories about the past - and ourselves now.

We don’t do division. We fix potholes, repair church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you and we get things done. Vote Lib Dem on Thursday for a local champion who'll work tirelessly for you.
