A video of a ‘migrant’ on a small boat has been altered using AI to make it appear as if he’s waving a machete. The fake video has been shared thousands of times online, including by the leader of the London Assembly Conservatives, Susan Hall.

There are four massive #bees stuck in my conservatory right now because they are too stupid to go out of the massive open windows or door they came in through. I catch and release those I can but they often stay too high up. Multiple bees are dying in here every single day. Stupid bees!

Is the social media ban for children going to include forums and messaging apps like Reddit and WhatsApp? I know it includes Snapchat so just wondering how they'll define social media. What about Roblox and MMORPGs like Minecraft?

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

A quote from a Kemi Badenoch interview in the Spectator, comparing Bridget Phillipson to a Gestapo officer.

Story A) My great grandad on one side and my grandad on the other were both effectively destitute and sent to the workhouse, one from age 14. When my parents married, they had -£4 total wealth. Story B) My parents were teachers and I grew up in a Cheshire village in a nice 4 bed Victorian semi.

It's quite a fun exercise to try to work out what the most working class and most middle class version of the story of your own social background you could tell. (I could tell wildly different stories about my own social class by picking the biographies of two grandparents - one from each parent.)

Finally did something with my front garden after getting a holly hedge removed (that was blocking the view for backing the car out). Before and after... Need to get more orange daisies for the middle patch. My son picked Queen of hearts petunia. #gardening

Absolutely not shocking. This is Reform. No idea how things work… what laws really mean… how they protect us… Just peddlers of prejudice. Puppets for whoever’s bought them. They don’t even find out what their party is about when they decide they want to be an MP. All of them unfit for office.

Absolutely shocking. No clue. No idea. No respect for workers rights - doesn't affect him so he doesn't seem to care...

My grandma's garden had beautiful red poppies and my mum moved them to her garden. My mum died about three years ago and I am now growing poppies from the same plant. I put too many in one pot though so today I repotted some. Very delicate! Just one tiny root per seedling. #gardening

@thebeeguy.bsky.social Hello! Do you have any advice on how to stop bees and wasps coming into our conservatory and getting stuck then dying? In summer we have to open the windows/door as it becomes an oven, and 3-5 per day are dying in here! I catch and release those I can but can't always save em.
