Watching #celebritytraitors w/ my girlfriend and I’m like, “god, a day in the castle is just like a day with a toddler: breakfast’s an event, you do a single activity in the day, and then, suddenly, it’s night and everything goes to shit.” When I say she rolled her eyes, made a mean remark about 🦋…
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
Liam Ramos is a 5 year-old pre-schooler, used as bait to draw his father from his home in Minnesota, then both were detained and shipped to TEXAS. The fear this child must be experiencing. The terror coursing through his innocent little body. I hope these evil thugs know no rest.
Seeing this on my feed has made me finally click open a tab and do something I should've done ages ago -- joined the @greenparty.org.uk Reeves et al don't give a shit about the future health of this world and of the people who will have to live in it. And they think that makes them cool.
RSPB@rspb.bsky.social · last yr.The Chancellor says she 'fixed' a problem caused by “some snails or something”. Comments like this pit nature against growth – it’s the wrong target.

Surprise surprise – the myth of the “millionaire exodus” has been conclusively debunked as misinformation spread by those who don’t want to see wealth taxed fairly (because they’ve got a lot of it!) Time for the govt to stop hiding behind this excuse and bring in a wealth tax
rewatching PA's masterpiece STATE OF PLAY, considering it so hard to say something nu abt brilliance of script, prod, edit, has a corner of the internet noted the outsized achievement of the nose-blood of Marc Warren in the series? Looks like the guy was genuinely punched in the face for every take.
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... 20 years ago this would have made a pretty good studio comedy. It you wrote it today I feel like you’d have to be very careful not to turn it into a sneering bit of propaganda entertainment for the Worst People on the Internet.

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... If it’s true, which I doubt, that Trump was going through checks and balances, following ministerial procedure on a path to intended security guarantees, the *very least* you can say about these galaxy brain dealmakers is that their comms aren’t fit for purpose.
Trump officials fume at Zelenskyy for disregarding advice before meeting
Officials say minerals deal would serve as commitment to US security guarantee and Ukraine leader shouldn’t have pressed issue

Been seeing some prominent folks, including mutuals(!!!), posting Gen AI “art” of Trump in various states of humiliation. I understand the impulse, but this is abetting theft of labor. Gen AI is founded on organized crime by the tech industry. Please, just don’t do it. It’s wrong.

Kieran Hurley@kieranhurley.bsky.social · 2y agoI'm really fucking angry about this. It's not even an anti tech thing or whatever. It's just like, those copyright laws are a fundamental cornerstone of our most basic professional rights. What the fuck are you playing at. Fuck you
Just stumbled into peak Millenial dad-dom. Rare pint out away from baby and pub hifi started pumping out “two doors down” by mystery jets. Cried.
Enjoyed (if that’s the right word) “Anatomy of Lies” but, even if it’s a less proximate Gray’s pun, I do think they should have been bolder and gone with “Diagnosis: Liar”
There should be a special detector on Instagram for when you’re pissed that stops you from commenting ❤️ on your school friends stories (who you haven’t seen for at least a decade) which is just them sat in front of the tv saying “Friday!”
