Observe, if you will, the reactions to the man with vile opinions who has died, versus the reactions to the man who was daft and silly and wanted to make people laugh who has also died. Be more Jimmy.

The Voyager photo of Earth and Carl Sagan's pale blue dot speech should be rammed down the throat of every single person on this planet until we, as a species, finally understand our place in the universe.

I've just seen the cover to the Complete Trumptonshire blu-ray, and now I need you all to see it too, so there can be an outbreak of delighted cooing and "aw" noises all across Bluesky. It's done my heart the power of good, it really has.

Cover to "The Complete Trumptonshire" blu-ray set, a rather lovely Sergeant Pepper pastiche featuring characters from across all three series.

According to the parliamentary annual report & accounts for the 2025/26 financial year, the cost of subsidising the bars in the House of Commons alone was around £5.8 million. Meanwhile, to save £3 million less than that, Jodrell Bank is being defunded and shut down. share.google/MRHIvCsCsKoc...

Just listening to Rachel Johnson on LBC tell us that she was done for speeding because she thought the 20mph signs on the road were only advisory and now she has to do *another* speed awareness course. 🤨

Glyn was my friend and colleague for 30 years. He kept me sane, made me laugh, and caused me some headaches. Star of the Announcer’s mic, doyenne of the Central Square public tours, knitter of renown. I loved him and his loss cuts to the core. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Tributes paid to voice of BBC Wales who 'spread chaos and laughter like glitter'

Glyn, from Cardiff, was also known by their drag names Edna Clouds and Sister Gloria Snockers

That's an incredibly misleading headline from the Belfast Telegraph. It didn't get any sort of 'go-ahead'. They got nothing, They even gave up the right to protest. That they are holding another event elsewhere is irrelevant.

Féile row women’s rights event gets the go-ahead a t an alternative venue Legal proceedings now at an end after agreement reached at court Belfast Telegraph30 Jul 2026EIMEAR MCGOVERN A women’s rights event cancelled by Féile will now go ahead at an alternative venue, the Women’s Rights Network have said. It’s after the group and the festival reached an agreement at Belfast’s High Court, which brings legal proceedings to an end. Women’s Rights Network Northern Ireland (WRN NI) had started legal proceedings after an event Respect, Rights and Reality was cancelled last week. It had been due to be held on August 4. The group, which describes itself as “putting the sex-based needs of women and girls first” said Féile had “chosen to silence the voices of the very group that makes up half the population”. In a statement, Women’s Rights Network Northern Ireland (WRN NI) said it “is delighted to have reached an agreement with Féile an Phobail which brings the current legal proceedings to an end”. Féile an Phobail said it would continue to promote events “which provide balance and inclusivity”. Papers submitted by WRN NI to the High Court in Belfast stated the cancellation was “wrongful, null and void”. A hearing had been set to go head in the High Court yesterday, but shortly beforehand, both parties released statements. The group said: “The Judge congratulated the parties today, saying they both deserved credit for reaching a resolution in this difficult domain involving emotive issues. “Féile has agreed to meet with WRN NI to explore and discuss our potential participation in future Féile events, and we warmly welcome the opportunity for continued engagement.” They thanked their supporters and said: “Our work continues. We look forward to the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland (ECNI) Judicial Review later this year, where WRN NI will continue advocating for women’s sex-based rights and for the safety, privacy and dignity of women and girls across Northern
