My job is so boring that I have to make a self-appointment in my diary for every single thing I need to do. It's the only way to drive myself forward, and to prove to myself that I'm working.

Saved to Onedrive is the document equivalent to ‘went to live on a farm with all its friends, no we can’t visit’

Stop calling me an amateur. I've been doing this for decades. I'm incompetent.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Abolish the Home Office, salt the earth it stood upon.

Monique Hawkins, acting chief executive of the3million, said the impact of the Home Office’s retrospective review was devastating for many. "People applied to the EU settlement scheme in good faith...by building their lives in the UK and putting down roots." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nigel Farage's father was a very rich stockbroker; he's privately educated, billionaire funded, travels by private jet cares far more about his 5 homes & 13 jobs than helping constituents in Clacton which includes Jaywick, named the most deprived neighbourhood in England for 4th time since 2010

We could have had this in the UK too....

The 2nd sentence of this snippet of UEFA’s response to FIFA (the whole of which is fantastic) reminds me of Thatcher & everything she sold off - resulting in high utility & rail prices, dirty rivers & water shortages and a huge welfare bill as we pay market rent instead of using houses we owned.

Last week the posy I brought home from the garden had a chrysalis attached though I didn't notice till I got home. If you, like me, haven't watched a butterfly emerge you won't be prepared for how amazing or how long emergence takes #TinyJoys a 🧵

You’ve probably seen @peterwalker99.bsky.social’s story on the London flats where the temporary accommodation residents had their air con turned off in a heatwave; we had a look at what’s going on and who is responsible. www.londoncentric.media/p/air-condit...

The struggles of residents in a London tower block sum up the challenges of heatwave-era London.

Just got out of Samuel Beckett's adaptation of the Odyssey. Having just Penelope and Telemachus on.the stage, talking about nothing in particular, was a brave choice.

Anise K. Strong@anisekstrong.bsky.social · last wk.

Just got out of Greta Gerwig's adaptation of the Odyssey. Opening with Calypso (Saoirse Ronan) was a fascinating choice, especially given the mic drop of Suzanne Vega that centers the opening storm & shipwreck where she rescues Odysseus (David Tennant). Timmy C as Telemachus chewed too much scenery.

You know that Fourth Lord Rothermere bloke? The billionaire who inherited the fortune the Third Lord Rothermere inherited from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere? Well, it turns out he's against inheritance tax.

I seem to be reaching fewer and fewer people on social media thanks to AI slop and algorithms, so I did the one thing I dread more than a deadline: got on camera.

The Romans were among the first societies to extensively exploit fish resources, salting and fermenting them in large-scale plants. Ancient DNA sheds light on the environmental impact still felt to this day. 🏺 A #FestivalOfArchaeology thread on #NatureAndArchaeology 1/12 🧵
