Can't wait to read Liz Truss's new book.

“Thriller” is now older than The Wizard of Oz was when Thriller came out. When MJ released it in 1982, Oz was 43 years old. Today, Thriller is nearly 44 meaning it has existed longer than Dorothy’s trip had when the album first arrived. Story/Images by Did You Catch This?

A long thread but an important one. Cos it will be all over the RW media. Why hasn’t @monkemma.bsky.social got a damehood yet? @andyburnham.bsky.social we are waiting…

Booommm 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Fiiiiiiiirrreeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ukrainian MiG-29 destroys a 🇷🇺 Russian military base using 🇫🇷 French AASM HAMMER guided bombs.

Feels like a good day so far!

Absolutely 👇

. It's highly offensive to describe putin as a humanitarian - when he launched an illegal invasion of a sovereign, democratic state and commits war crimes on a daily basis. Americans should vote out the Trump regime that called him that! #bbcbreakfast #bbclaurak #bbcbh #toriesgone842 #Midterms .

A long thread but an important one. @danneidle.bsky.social does important and to the liars and fraudsters don’t like it. Dan deserves recognition and support. The guilty deserve the publicity. For the victims sake.

Just a reminder for Elon et al

Farmers in Suffolk, England, used GPS-guided tractors to create a giant B-17 Flying Fortress in a field. The tribute honors the American airmen who flew dangerous WWII missions from nearby airbases. Story/Images by Facts They Don’t Teach You

Cars.

This Is A Good Idea. Affording a car may be impossible but driving for a living can be a springboard into the world of work.

Perhaps it’s not just the President who doesn’t know what side he is on?

Trump’s speech in Florida today was so incoherent even Fox cut away.

If Trump was determined to bring down the Iranian leadership then surely attacking Kharg Island would do it? So why hasn’t he?

Follow. The. Money.

People tyres are the only thing that keeps you on the road. Cheap out on everything but not the tyres. They may save your life.

The energy cost in my shop already is over double what it was just before the war in Ukraine. It was rising fast before that. The result: fewer staff, less investment and almost nonexistent existent profits. That can’t continue…

At what point does Trump realise that the political cost of the case is more than the potential reward?

Another great explainer by @snellarthur.bsky.social . Groupthink by government and incompetence means we may never know the answer.

The vitriol the trans are receiving is a horrifying reminder on what gays received in the ‘80’s. That homophobia is *mostly* unacceptable now. Trans people deserve that same recognition and compassion most gays now receive. People are people not labels.

The fine per head of population in the UK is 74p In New Mexico it is £9,000 Someone has got this wrong. Hint: it wasn’t the Americans

That takes me back to the original. Wanted but would never fit… Well done Peugeot. Sock it to the Chinese competition.

Paging @rarebutnobodycares.bsky.social seen at Alicante airport. Lovely!

This Is just pure evil.

The word is JOIN. Just join, not rejoin and not rejoin when they do what we want. We want to join their club. It’s their club and their rules.

When I was a toddler and then teenager, I thought I knew the full gamut of excuses, but Reform UK are masters ... meme via Matthew Jones

And the news for Farage gets even worse…

Thanks Trump.

“Reform UK don't need to vet what people will say in the future, as Farage claims. They just need to be genuinely curious about what they've said and done in the past. They are not… Their vetting seems to be a manual on how to circumvent vetting. It’s a hosing-down of candidates so they look clean.”

The Exposure documentary showing undercover footage of many Reform officials being racist and sexist is on ITV at 10.20pm tonight, so whatever you do, don't watch it.

Repeat after me: 1) PIP isn't an out of work benefit. It is a benefit paid to disabled people to pay for the extra costs of living with a disability. 2) Some PIP claimants work. Some PIP claimants will never able to work at all. 3) Impoverishing people doesn't get them closer to employment

Another massive surprise. Not.

Me? No I didn’t see anything? I just came over to see what the commotion was all about.

Excellent discussion of actual reality not political posturing. The conversation is allowed to breathe. Well worth a listen.

Exquisite

Superb reporting as usual. Levinson 2 anyone?

It’s really straightforward and such a good cause. Do it now guys. While you remember.

Another excellent thread by @profjacob.bsky.social Well worth a read.

Ed is saying, carefully the bleeding obvious. Growth, defence and our place in the world is in Europe. It’s just logical.
