I know what you’re thinking… but can the British people build a series of gigantic armoured fighting suits in that sort of timeframe? It’s time to call Anneka Rice. We are cancelling the apocalypse, people.

Running Dog@runningdog.bsky.social · 1h agoMinisters keep saying things like “get ready for war in 1,000 days” and journalists keep not saying things like “what do you mean” and “can you be more specific” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
It’s nice to know that the Premier League still acknowledges at least SOME laws: although in this particular instance, it’s Betteridge’s Law of Headlines…
I freely admit that I know pretty much nothing about Brazilian politics; but even so, it does still make me chuckle to see that Flávio Bolsonaro is constantly referred to as “Bolsonaro’s son”. As far as I can tell, he’s essentially Shitt the Younger.
Somewhere, you know Sam Allardyce is currently treating himself to a second pint of Merlot. #TaxiForCarrick
Rambling Rob Jenrick on the TV this morning, once again lambasting Schrödinger’s Migrants: those nefarious fiends who are simultaneously living the high life on unemployment benefits, while also stealing the jobs of decent, hard-working British people who vote Reform.
The second most satisfying moment of car ownership, after the time it reads 80085…
1) Selling off surplus government assets at a Sunday morning car boot sale. 2) Sending everyone some raffle tickets, and pressuring them to sell them to their family, like back when you were in the Scouts. 3) YouTube influencing. 4) Getting a second job, governing another, much wealthier country.
I can understand how Prince William could be mistaken for other people - he does after all have about 100 assorted relatives with exactly the same face - but Prince feels like a bit of a stretch. Or it’s just some journalistic twaddle to justify a really bad pun headline on a lazy Sunday.

Don’t worry guys. If the Russians attack, Wes Streeting will surely save us.

Great to see a newbuild in central London (near Holborn) carrying on the old tradition of putting the construction date on the drainpipes.
Well, that comprehensively sucks. RIP BioWare. Thanks for the games. Sorry EA are, well, EA.

The only way that either Trump or Putin could be considered humanitarians would be if their diet consisted primarily of humans. Which, at this point, would honestly not surprise me.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 4d agoTrump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”
Similarly, when extending the hoover nozzle and changing the brush I imagine I'm a sniper preparing for a kill.
fesshole 🧻@fesshole.bsky.social · 5d agoI clean my car before an MOT becuase I think it helps it pass. When I do this, I imagine I'm working under direction from Winston Wolfe in Pulp Fiction. I find this helps me focus on the really messy parts.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%.
