A fan of cats, stats, and facts- and GTFC. Proud to be woke as that means decent, empathetic, and aware. Hate brexit and loathe the Tories.

Ironometers across the United Kingdom just violently exploded and satirists across the land put their pens down because there truly is no point anymore.
Headline reading: BORIS JOHNSON: Starmer picked a fraudster for his Cabinet because he is fraudster-in-chief. And he knows, in his heart, that the whole government is a fraud.

British cheeses miss out at the World Cheese Awards in Portugal - not because they weren’t worthy of prizes, but because they got stuck in customs. What a metaphor for Brexit www.theguardian.com/food/2024/no... nho

Logan (5) and Bobcat (8) from Stray Cat Rescue Team #WestMidlands met at the rescue and a bromance developed. They're looking for a home with safe outdoor access.

Logan (left) and Bobcat (right) from Stray Cat Rescue Team West Midlands in Wolverhampton. Logan is ginger and white, and Bobcat (who lost his tail from a previous injury, hence the name!) is a brown tabby. Both are short-haired. At the top of the photos is a heart-shaped line drawing of a cat, enclosing the words “Please Adopt Us”.

Rep. George Santos is expelled from Congress on bipartisan vote following scathing ethics report.

The ouster of the freshman congressman was only the sixth time in U.S. history and the first in more than 20 years that the House has taken such drastic action.

The vote followed the release two weeks ago of a scathing 56-page Ethics Committee report. The freshman lawmaker has resisted calls to resign.
