Everyone knows it's sauvignon blanc before midday.

Never heard of this.

It was, if the spirit of Iain Banks will forgive me, the day the pope exploded

Or, to be strictly accurate, today is the 67th anniversary of the day a botched embalming saw Pius XII’s rotting torso break open while he was lying in state

(Yes, sorry*. This thread is disgusting)

(*Well, kind of)

Papal Swiss guards in costumes – and especially helmets – that could have come from the 1980 Flash Gordon film flanking the dead body of Pope Pius XII in a big, posh room in a palace in Rome. The pope is covered in plastic, in a way that suggests he has been inexpertly shrink-wrapped. This will be explained later

#bbcqt the airhead from that tory rag proves is all you need to get on this car crash is a posh accent, not nous, not political shrewdness, not compassion but a posh accent and a willingness to punch downwards.

Clickbait. Ya basta. The headline had me heartbroken. Well played.

It sounds like a green policy. "we lead the world in defenestration".

I bought the lidl version as lea & perrins price was mental. It was shite. Worsesstisher needs to be l&p. Mustard needs to be colmans and broon sauce HP, even though you need hp to purchase it.

I've never seen this before. Is it woosta sauce?

We're scottish. We struggle with that but we should do it more. But love and respect for all those who put people before profit and want to make the world a better place.

Prawn or lamb balti. No rice. Just a naan and a plain bread ootsider. That looks quality Patrick.

The guy's a knob. Ended my career as a sex changer. Had to pack away the scissors, the tin opener and the corer.

In a very packed field, the title of worst living tory has to go to @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social His CV of racism, corruption, lies, cruelty and all round cuntishness makes the other @kuntieplopkins.bsky.social seem nice. (not this one. This one's lovely)

Narrator: This is fascism.

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis
) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

The Green Party of England & Wales' new housing policy:

"Green Party policy is to seek the effective abolition of Private Landlordism."

"The Green Party believes the existence of Private Landlords adds no positive value to the economy or society."

Greens Organise @greensorganise.bsky.social · 6d

Green Party Conference 2025 just passed a motion that would Abolish Landlords!

Through a programme of unprecedented council house building, taxation and housing those who need it, a Green government would eliminate profit from a human right.

Housing for all.

At the time, in light of what the eu had done to greece and threatened to do to italy, many socialists saw it as another uber capitalist vehicle so didn't support remain but also didn't actively champion leave.
