Rather than allowing humanists to contribute to Radio 4's Thought for the Day, the BBC's current format requires all speakers to frame political and current affairs commentary through a religious or scriptural lens. Yet half of the UK is non-religious so why not let us speak?
We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.
Nicolas Chinardet@zefrog.eu · 3d agoAnd why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?
Fellow moth-ers - have you ever done this? I spent nearly 40mins this morning trying to identify this well-marked, tiny but beautiful, and sadly dead, moth. Until I turned it over and found it was a piece of wood. 🤣 #teammoth
Next World Cup will only have USA in it, just like all their other sports....
that is in fact literally in the bible. it's Matthew 6:5.
Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · last wk.Rep. Lauren Boebert insists that public Christian worship events are necessary for America to experience revival: "I don't think that Jesus ever called for any Christian to pray only silently or to keep their faith hidden only in the prayer closet."
Bill Oddie has died aged 85. We'll certainly be thinking of this quote today. #Humanist #Nature #Birdwatching #Humanists #HumanistsUK #BillOddie
Humanists UK@humanists.uk · last wk.Springwatch icon, humanist, and probably the UK's best-loved birdwatcher, Bill Oddie, has died aged 85. Very sad. Thank you for a lifetime of helping us understand nature.
The Washington Post map of US wildfire smoke looks like Trump’s hair.
Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan
the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

Walking into work this morning and saw a Clouded Yellow on the playing field of all places!
Jarell Quansah has his red card ban extended to two matches. FIFA will consider an appeal, if the England defender can prove he’s either American or Argentinian or a brown envelope stuffed with cash
Great quote from Binface on BBC "Have you ever been to Clacton?" "No, but I understand from the current incumbent that's part of how you do the job"
Honestly can’t see how England are going to beat Mexico tomorrow morning. Home advantage, World Cup knockout, altitude, defensive frailty will combine to result in an exit.
Blimey, Hannibal hasn’t seen a defeat like that since Zama….
Over 50% of American adults read below a 6th grade level. Here's why it's being called a silent crisis www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/12/01/m...
Seems to be a lot of selective memory in UK's right-wing newspapers about schools not closing during the 1976 heatwave. I just checked and, yes, many schools did close early as well as allow parents to "keep their children at home if they wish". This clipping from London Evening News, 29 June 1976
I wouldn't say that coprolite is my favourite fossil, but it's a solid number two

Today (33°) I'm thinking of the people who: 🚫 Oppose more trees on their streets 🐦 Campaign to remove trees because birds poo on their car 💔 Vandalise saplings repeatedly Here are some we put in, in 2022, despite some very noisy opposition Here's to improving people's lives against their will 👍🏻
Max Sullivan@maxsullivan.bsky.social · 3y agoTwo of my favourite things: new trees and new bollards.
Exclusive to all right-wing papers: It’s clear that Andy Burnham has been a complete failure as Prime Minister, although he hasn’t technically taken up the role yet. From the new Private Eye, out now.
It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.
The real challenge for Starmer is whether he’ll be able to admit to himself, years from now, that his pivot to the right was a terrible mistake.
