I rescued my neighbour last winter, she possibly could have died from exposure. Cannot stand her, really regret it now.

It's very funny that Zack is just willling to say 'You're talking shit and you know you are' and nobody in politics or the media really knows how to cope with it.

I could watch Zack Polanski utterly wreck Zia Yusuf ALL DAY LONG.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.

Lauren Laverne’s ‘six of the best’ mix on @bbc6music.bsky.social bodes well this morning. Sheffield (bands) as the theme. A lot of good options there and I’ve already messaged the show with a few suggestions 😅 @laurenlaverne.bsky.social

And it's actually true.

Immigrants make all cities Great.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

OK I have seen this nonsense crop upon RW feeds more this week so raising it again: there are accusations made that @thebarcouncil.bsky.social are "anti-white racists" 🙄

See Jacob Rees-Mogg is making a living pushing this rubbish on KGBNews now.

here are some notes on what is actually happening:

GB News @GBNEWS
The Bar Council is under fire for launching a black-only internship scheme.

Gawain Towler calls it 'racist', while Kevin Craig defends it as a levelling tool under the Equality Act.

WHITES PUPILS BARRED FROM INTERNSHIP
Bar Council allows only black or mixed-race pupils on summer internship

I have a sense that Derek and I may be a similar age. I’m not *entirely* convinced by the second part of his statement though 😬

@realmsunknown.bsky.social I’m not seeing the latest episode in my Apple podcast feed, but I am enjoying Alien Earth discussion on the YouTube. But is Chris correct to say that in the first episodes one thinks Boy K seems a genius? After all, doesn’t he misattribute a quote from Clarke to Asimov? 🤔
