I do enjoy #TheRepairShop on BBC but I feel like they skipped A LOT of detail on that shattered bust they restored. Went from tiny pieces to painting over cracks in like three scenes... 😂

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

Huge congratulations to Zohran Mamdani on his election as Mayor of New York City from all of us at the Green Party! 🎉💚

HIT HER AGAIN. 😂

Much talk about how train services can be made safer in the wake of the Huntingdon attack.

Perhaps stop treating mental health services as the poor relation within the NHS?

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

Every player out there looks scared and fucking miserable. We can't string two passes together and our younger players are regressing from the improvements we've seen them make over the last few seasons. Frank needs to get a grip on things, and fast... #COYS

Tick tock Thomas tick tock! #COYS

Ok. Sorry we appointed two shit managers in a row? #COYS

One in twenty Reform councillors elected in May 2025 has left by the Autumn

Rayner.
Phillips.

This is not a coincidence.

The Tory Media try to target the women, not because the Tory Media is strong, but because the Tory Media are scared - and feel threatened by empowered women.

Your Mount Rushmore of game consoles (I'm old, lol).

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

It's Halloween, and to celebrate (?) I made a big scary decision...

I love climate research and polar science, but academia broke me. And more importantly, I feel like climate comms is where I can have more impact.

... So I've left academia. Wish me luck 🎃

Reform politicians only express concern for women when the perpetrator is a foreigner.

When parliament held a debate to discuss what to do about what the National Audit Office call the "worsening epidemic of violence against women and girls," guess how many Reform MPs turned up?

Not a single one.

Oh, and Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

They’re paleo, at least

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

Night night all, that's me done. #COYS

So weak & profligate on the ball. We either move too slow & get tackled, or lose it within a couple of passes. This *can't* be what TF is coaching every day, so why are we still looking so bad? These are players who we've seen play a million times better, playing like non-league pluggers. #COYS
