Hot new item. Flying off the shelves.

@tojothethief.bsky.social your boy is back!!

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Did you know I wrote a book about the origins of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, console RPGs, and their rise to success in North America?

This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

I don't think he understands the concept of taking the piss. Or whatever the real-life equivalent of shitposting is.

There are more frogs!

War is hell, Portland style

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

Techbrahs are not normal.

*Gasp*

A girl in a hijab appeared and it was DEI! I didn't know that, I thought people just went around! Was it DEI when I saw a woman in M&S??? Is DEI everywhere?

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Sorry to mention twitter but when the DfE's behaviour adviser is quote tweeting Sharron Davies approvingly that tells you an important story about both the DfE and its advisers. 😒🤷‍♀️

International student arrivals to the US dropped 19% this year, the biggest drop on record aside from the 2020 pandemic low.

Someone should write a book about how to manage like the anti-Elon, explaining why all of his management ideas are very, very stupid.

Halloween Playlist converted by Soundiiz from another music platform! https://soundiiz.com

I've spent years on and off curating a playlist of Halloween music that's listenable, a bit creepy and avoids any of the seasonal cliches. Spans alt-rock, rock, rap and electronica and I absolutely love it at this time of year music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Thou shalt not shoot pastors in the head with smoke bombs. I shouldn’t have to say this.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Imagine not only “losing” the Nobel Peace Prize, but also being specifically sub-tweeted by the decision-makers for your efforts to destroy democracy. Trump loses big. Congratulations Nobel Committee, well played.

Maybe they just didn't eant to remember too many names and didn't think of the obvious drawbacks (too many Daves).

True story: Pieter Bruegel the Elder had two artist sons, Pieter Bruegel the Younger who was the eldest and Jan Bruegel the Elder who was the youngest. Confused? You will be: Pieter Bruegel the Younger *also* had an artist son called Pieter Bruegel… etc etc.

New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.”

Imagine walking up to someone in Portland and asking them why they're dressed as a frog.

La petite rivière… #Photographie

Watercolor painting of a protester in an inflatable frog suit facing off with ICE and police in Portland

I painted it!

Funny how Russian bribery gets mentioned by @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #BBCQT & Zia Yusuf gets very upset!

Good, about time someone stood up to Reform.

Detention? The kids can go take a hike.
