Your Much Needed Afternoon #TimelineCleanser .. Guinea Pigs love celery. ...

Real post from the mountain rescue Facebook page

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ From time to time I like to repost this seminal exchange between Professor Stanley Unwin and Peter Hawkins, the voice of Bill and Ben. 

"crime has more than halved over a period where the immigrant population more than doubled." Not something you'll hear about from Reform UK.

Apparently Director Asger Leth cast 80 real Danes rather than actors, providing them with 40 questions to consider beforehand without revealing how they would be grouped on set.

Best day out! Trent Park - House of Secrets This new museum opened in July. We went for the first time today. Love the grand barbed wire logo. Come with us ....

Saturday 17 October 2026 - remember the date. The day when the remaining fragments of the mask fell from Agent Krasnov. Details on Trump's latest traitorous act coming up in the daily Ukraine thread. I've still never missed a single one and it's now Day 1697 of Russia's war.

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

You may criticise The United States all you like but what I love about their citizens is the genuine respect they have for their constitution and their staunch belief in a free democracy. 🇺🇸✌️

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

Two things that are in trouble but this government doesn’t give a shit about for some reason: 1. The BBC 2. Universities

Why are we even LISTENING to these absolute psychos, let alone rule over us?

Give Elon Musk and a stupid AI all your credit card details. What could possibly go wrong? (Also it really should be a felony to even suggest this)

People voted for this. Twice.

"My days-long decisive victory over Iran is now in its 8th humiliating, oil-price-inflating month, so I'm going to go secure like a day's worth diesel by helping Putin pay the bills on his >4 year long 3 day military special operation."

Trump, September 2025: Europe must stop buying Russian oil that is funding the war against Ukraine! Trump, October 2026: We're going to buy 300k tons of Russian diesel even though we export ~200k tons a day of it. Why? Reasons. I want to thank President Putin! WTAF 🤯

Nailed it. 🔨

Trump: From now on I am the media. Trump News! New Private Eye on shelves now.

Juice Media did a great cover of the Aussie one www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RZS...

I spent much of this week talking with foreign officials who are in the U.S. for United Nations meetings. I was curious to know how they’re strategizing about the United States in the future. Here’s what I learned... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-to-plan-for-in-the-us-if-youre

So much of the right these days have a massive patriotism problem. This guy: - is a tax exile (left long before this govt) - hates his own country while complaining he doesn’t get big enough subsidies from it - laments the manufacturing hit from a Brexit he supported www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

How do you keep defending the indefensible?

Neoliberals want to cut social security, silent on subsidies to banks. Since 2006, Bank of England has paid interest on central bank reserve deposits to commercial banks. The EU & the Swiss stopped similar practice in 2023. UK still paying, £100bn in last 3 yrs. There are better uses of £100bn.

You don't have a right to safe drinking water, a US court just ruled. A Trump-appointed judge also said Americans have no “constitutional right to truthful information” during a public health crisis.

“I’m here from the council to address your concerns about planning consent and proximity of the warehouse…” From the Private Eye archive. Issue 1664, December 2025.

Dear Burnham Labour government, There are uniformed fascists on the streets of Dover. You have done and said f*** all so far. Not good enough. You'll lock up pro-Palestinian grannies and young climate activists - but you ignore fascist thugs. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

The House voted to condemn “socialism” earlier this week. Listen, I’ve been in and around politics for over 50 years. I grew up during McCarthyism and the “red Scare” of the 1950s. I’ve seen all of this fear-mongering before. Here’s what’s really going on.

The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt. Everyone has an opinion about why. But there’s one question you almost never hear asked: Who’s actually getting paid?

By all means change the triple lock on pensions. But only when you’ve dealt with closing all the tax avoidance loopholes that benefit the filthy rich. And only when the corporations are not getting subsidised (banks) or supermarkets are paying proper wages. Thats fair.

The EXPRESSION! @disxt.bsky.social

This is not misinformation. That's what I normally cover - something out of context, an opinion quoted as fact, or a deliberate misinterpretation... This is none of those. This is full-on disinformation. Because that is NOT from the Express. It is entirely fake😱 🧵 1/10

“The main difference between Nazis & normal people is the total lack of empathy for others. Nazi propaganda brainwashes people to believe others are inferior, subhuman, evil, and not worthy of empathy. This is the necessary final step before brainwashed Nazis gleefully mass-murder others” - Malloy
