Wtf is this?!! Cropped from my phone's wind display app.
'This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary using AI Assistant'. No thank you, I'm perfectly capable of reading a long document, thank you. It's annoying, it's son of Clippy!
A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
Take Big Money Out of Our Politics
British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

Saga: Come home tea time. Turn TV on. Sound, no picture. Wanting to replace TV anyway. Today, go to Argos, get new TV. Discover DVD player obsolete. Back to Argos. New DVD player. 'Connect to TV with fast HDMI cable'. NOT SUPPLIED. Tesco for HDMI cable. Now too knackered to install it all! Arrrgh!!
Approach it in Victorian/Edwardian explorer mode. Warm comfortable shoes, ditto coat, rucksack full of supplies, sealskin mittens (maybe not the last one!)
😎 This weekend, ESA marks 18 years of Europe’s Columbus laboratory in orbit, and we’ve got a couple of these epic ‘How Columbus Learnt to Fly’ books to give away! Just share this post for a chance to win!👍
ESA Exploration@exploration.esa.int · 6mo agoHappy launch anniversary, Columbus! 🥳 18 years ago today, @esa.int's Columbus laboratory ascended to orbit, nestled in Space Shuttle Atlantis.

Behemoth the Seamonster is on Talking Pictures. Starts in Looe Cornwall and according to the IMDB IS is partly set in Looe. Unfortunately the accents of the fishermen characters don't come from there!
#bmoviemaniacs Creepy SciFi that's been a bit forgotten. Saw it on the TV, with my cousins, I think. I was very young and a long time ago. Adults gone to the pub? Had nightmares for weeks. archive.org/details/Spac...
Went to see Hamnet a couple of days ago (brilliant btw). At the beginning when they showed the classification it said 'Some distressing scenes, brief moderate sex'. I thought 'that's life summed up really!
@tripeuk.bsky.social Was wondering where you are. Thought you were recovering after your tripe Christmas feast. But you've been here all along. Bluesky was supressing your input it seems.
@wulfhelm.bsky.social Just saw this on here. Is this what you pair with 'accidental wine'? (If you were allowed....)
@wulfhelm.bsky.social It says a lot about the state of the world, when this is my ocean of sanity here!!
Millions of years of evolution, opposable thumbs and I can't fit the batteries in the cheapo IKEA milk frother!!!
Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about the NHS. Richard Tice is calling it ‘independent’: "Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."

UNITED24@u24.gov.ua · 8mo agoAnother beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.
I signed the petition to allow trans women and girls back into Girl Guiding. It was a poor and cowardly decision to cave on this and they need to roll it back. www.change.org/p/allow-tran...
