What is the Supplementary Vote, and why is it being used in Manchester?
On Thursday 30 July, Greater Manchester will be electing a new mayor. The by-election follows Andy Burnham’s decision to return to Westminster, but it’s not just the mayor who will b

All the new #Euro banknote designs are interesting but I absolutely LOVE design H and design I. Personally, I prefer the birds to the people. If you’re interested, you can take the survey here: www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot...

The tricky part about Seasonal Affective Disorder and using a SAD lamp is that I have to get up a little bit earlier and be a little bit more motivated at exactly the time of year I feel the worst.
I had such a lovely evening listening to @adamjfarrer.bsky.social talking about his book “Broken biscuits & other male failures”. I was very moved by everything he said and found him deeply engaging, thoughtful, funny and charming.
I recently read “uncommon people” following a recommendation from @hannahfearn.bsky.social and she was totally right - it’s fantastic. Then this very astute take from Dorian capped it all off. I was thrown right back to mid-90s britpop and the chaos of music but most of all, the FUN of it all.
Dorian Lynskey@dorianlynskey.bsky.social · last yr.I would argue that this chaos is what made the charts so much fun: trash cheek by jowl with treasure. Contrast the slow-moving homogeneity of the current Top 40. It's not that it was always good — it's that it was always interesting.
I treated myself to a deliciously filthy NHS breakfast this morning. Fried bread. It was absolutely wonderful and I regret nothing.
God, this is so true. I’m so, so sick of living through “unprecedented” times. I just want boring, precedented times.

Wishing I had @drcarpineti.bsky.social with me in the pub tonight as I used a candle to represent the sun and empty pint glasses to represent planets in an effort to explain the planetary alignment.
A few weeks ago, @pifflevalve.bsky.social suggested sowing seeds from a pepper. I popped some onto some damp kitchen roll and put them near the radiator to stay warm. They germinated so I planted them, hoping for maybe one to sprout. Now I have at least five tiny baby pepper plants!
This was SUCH a lot of fun - very chaotic, very funny and incredibly well researched and performed. Go and see Buffy Revamped if you can. It’s at the Lowry until Saturday.
I’m so, SO excited to indulge my inner Scooby and see Buffy Revamped tomorrow.
I can finally set foot on Bluesky again after catching up with the traitors final!
Fucking ticketmaster. Is ticketmaster one of the most loathed companies in Britain? I think they might be. Absolutely zero redeeming features.
I wonder why we all ignored the spice girls and went with millennial instead of generation next?
I don't want to install a fucking app for a website. I already HAVE an app for looking at websites, it's called a browser and it works on all websites.
Ugh - I must’ve made a fatal error last night and inadvertently switched the heating off completely. I’ve woken up this morning to a 14° house and it’s awful.
It’s definitely bedtime so of course now is a good time to learn about alphabets from other languages, including the haček from Czech and the handwritten Georgian script. Why is my brain like this?
Oh no - that’s horrible news. What a sad piece of news. The Vivienne was so young and so talented; it’s a dreadful shame.
Benj@benjmcr.bsky.social · 2y agoWhat horrible news. RIP The Vivienne. Such a wonderful talent 🖤
For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education
I can’t wait - I’m going to dive in and watch the next episode. But don’t worry: I loathe spoilers so I won’t give anything away. I just couldn’t wait to see the banishment vote! #TheTraitors
If I was at that table and Claudia touched my shoulder, I’m pretty sure I’d squawk with nervous tension and I’d give the game away instantly. #TheTraitors
What a strange decision to adopt an accent! #TheTraitors
I’ve already taken a dislike to a couple of them based on that start alone! #TheTraitors
