Also a very early mōrena from me! I’ve a flight to catch at 6am 😭

If this site goes to shit I think that’s me done with Twitter-expys. I’m so done with social media, whānau

Also this is besides the point, but real patriots know Soho has been an icon the legend the moment of all things sex since at least the 18th century. Open the schools!

Not sure I’d name myself after the chief paramount of the royal paedo family if I was on a crusade against ‘sexual immorality’

Legitimately thought this was one of the Chuckle Brothers there for a second

that's not a very nice way to refer to London museums

Am also praying the two Irish queens make it to Snacth Game and stand firm in their choices and won’t be forced to do an Irish caricature, as RuthPaula has made others do in previous seasons

Protect Nyongbella at all costs. She’s such a ball of unbothered sunshine in this season of Drag Race UK

Ta Nehisi Coates called this absolutely right: people who refuse to draw the line at genocide are unlikely to draw the line at democracy. I would add that everything they say and do should be considered with that in mind.

I've resisted the term "Ulsterification" cos it implies that NI's political culture is somehow un-British, rather than an entirely British weaponisation of Britishness, enabled and enacted by British interests.

But the PSNI boomeranging back to London to round up protesters is really something.

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others."

she was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy."

when you're definitely the good guys

This is one of my faves to make. Very little effort involved for something so complex and delicious

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

Yeah they’re fine, but leave those after halfway into the series, let the bakers have the chance to grow and develop first!

Gen Z have every right to be calling millennials cringe

Information is coming out now from the activists who have been released that they weren’t treated well

“They dragged little Greta (Thunberg) by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” says Turkish activist and Sumud Flotilla participant Ersin Celik

Queck indeed.

I really hate the challenges this year. These are meant to be amateur bakers, and they had them reverse engineering shit in the first week. It’s cruel!

Can she pass for Helen of Troy? Gross if not

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

In an alternate universe Starmer is the manager of a local Nando’s and spends most of his time policing the soft drink machine so no one gets a freebie

meme of the you wouldn’t make any unnecessary journeys woman, in the style of you wouldn’t steal a car antipiracy advert

good morning

One form of dehumanisation is deciding who’s allowed to grief and who isn’t, whose grief matters and whose doesn’t.

What makes Starmer think parts of the Jewish community and many other communities haven’t been grieving for 24 months about the genocide his government is supporting?

I mean

The more I see Zohran Mamdani on my feed the more I’m developing a wee bit of a crush on him. I get it, I see the vision

Reject modernity, embrace tradition

i actually prefer it when the mods actively hate the user base and vice versa, that’s how every great message board worked for years and i think we should give it a whirl
