Saw a tree on it’s way to wedding. Holloway, North London.

OK, at this point, people are definitely making shit up to see if they will broadcast it

University of Nottingham, right now, is cutting 560 jobs. Do we need to rebrand universities as very large, very clean, land-based oil rigs to get government support?

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

Many years ago, i had a serious mental health crisis and was hospitalised for it. The care was actually really good and that week on a womens ward did in fact save my life. Had i been treated as the nhs now says i should be, i would have in fact, only been pushed deeper into my suicidal crisis

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

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Finsbury Park looking gorgeous this morning

one of the deepest sicknesses in the world are the people who feel personally attacked over other people getting the same rights as them

Extremely grateful for these two grocery store ladies recreating Prodigy’s Firestarter

We don’t do the Daily Mail, but as a public service, here is someone with far too much money being attacked by an owl.

The BBC does genuinely seem to be trying to save money where it can; they scrapped an undercover investigation where Amol Rajan went out clubbing with a view to exposing the easy access to poppers because they didn't want to pay for the Amol night rate

In the UK, Prince William has launched an anti-suicide campaign with the Premier League, whose every other ad is for gambling. Hey prince: how about you dust off some old dungeons & fill them with every gambling CEO & the celebs who endorse them & watch suicides plummet? EASY PEASY MATE

Most people don't expect you to fire a trebuchet at their house, that's what makes it such a fun surprise

This artwork was created over the past year by a local Birmingham artist collective who wanted to bring unty from discord by repurposing the divisive Nationalist flags into a massive Brummie Reunion Jack. Suffice it to say, the inspiration for Goldship's magnificent work has not taken it well.

@historyhannahb.bsky.social did you miss this?

This is what we are up against. It’s why I’ve always said the under 16 social media ban doesn’t go far enough. We shouldn’t be banning it for children, we should be properly regulating it for everyone. This is scary. How do we fight this?

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS HUGH After sold out work-in-progress runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre this summer, Jackman/Phantom comes to Pleasance London for 3 nights this Christmas! It's the perfect deranged festive night out! www.pleasance.co.uk/event/joz-no...

A new mega poll by YouGov reveals that an overwhelming majority of constituencies want to rejoin the EU. Only 4 constituencies were not sure. It’s time to put EU membership on the table. https://bestforbritain.org/uk-membership-most-popular-eu-policy-in-all-uk-seats-bar-four-megapoll-finds/

Ladies and gentlemen, male opera singers dubbed with ship’s horns

oh...this is bad

The Onion knows

Misogyny and the degradation of women are flowing non-stop from social media, and it feels impossible to stem the tide.

Firstly, a female Doctor, played by an older actress with a background in theatre/comedy. For an added frisson, let's make the sidekick character the husband. And we'll lose the whole 'Doctor' tag and reveal the birth name, which is spelled 'Bucket' but

Reform UK tried to ‘cover up’ assault incident that led to its Welsh leader’s resignation nation.cymru/news/reform-...

This is rather wonderful

Maybe Dr James Orr was only hired by the University of Cambridge as they needed to get the quota of white male academics up. His fall from grace is perhaps due to his over-promotion and the fact that rich white men aren't really suited to positions of trust and authority. #r4today #Arday

Well done Sadiq Khan.

Somewhere in England, a tired man turns off Channel 4 news and wearily puts on a bin.

And as with Jason Arday, you can see the problem here. Because a handful of gatekeepers decide what is ‘news’ & what isn’t. This is a stunning investigation but if & how it catches fire depends on the follow-up…& Times & Telegraph are embarrassed & implicated. So much now depends on the BBC…

Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

Just seen a screengrab of some right wing grifter objecting to being able to play as a female character in the new GTA, because it could lead to players wanting to transition into women in real life. Nobody tell this twat about novels. It’ll blow his fucking mind.

www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a... This is a lovely story

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

When you really think about it, there are only 2 universally loved people. David Attenborough Dolly Parton And we lost one today. It's kinda heartbreaking.

Fucking hell, not Dolly. She was an absolute queen. She gave money for literacy programmes and vaccines, and faced life with a sense of humour that couldn't be beaten.
