Apparently saying “don’t let my facts get in the way of your feelings” during an immigration based conversation with my father in law makes me the unreasonable one. Go figure.

Better headline
“Council leader says he understands the law, but won’t follow it”
Populism 101.

The US has its dirty hooks in us that’s for sure.

Goodbye Newsweek.

Liza Minnelli released Losing My Mind on this day in 1986 (according to the oracle that is @whatafuckingrecord.bsky.social )

Waiting to agree this with the UN when they meet in September seems indecisive at best and a delay tactic at worst. Neither approach is what I had hoped for when I voted Labour last year. Another 8 weeks and most in Gaza will have starved by then.

I looked upon your words with a different gaze, dear heart. 😘

Lovely bit of mansplaining there Tony. So, just to clarify, not so much coverage of the Lionesses 2nd Euros victory as far as you’re concerned, but also less in general about female opportunities in sport, as there are plenty of other opportunities to discuss yes? Asking for a few female friends.

My first instinct was to block this rubbish, but it’s probably important to be aware of the propaganda, so I’ll let it stain my feed in favour of open eyes. The poster describes this account as non religious and non political. Blatantly untrue.

I’ve preordered too. We really enjoyed The Notebook. It’s kicked off my reading habit again - I was struggling lately. Stupid phone. 📱 😵‍💫

It’s got a Peron vibe going on.

“the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker is a mensch.

What in the word salad is he trying to say?

This is too much. I’m disgusted, and quite afraid for the future. (Flip to FB and watch the video if you haven’t already)

Gisele Pelicot awarded France's Legion of Honour Pelicot was named knight of the Legion of Honour on a list announced ahead of France's Bastille Day.

Some good news for us all.

That’s really funny, morning laugh accepted 😘 😆

The British “wealth exodus” is a big fat myth Rachel Reeves is not responsible for chasing millionaires away from UK PLC.

Great @newstatesman.com piece by @neweconomics.bsky.social's Hollie Wright

The "exodus" of the wealthy is being overblown & departures are often "more about 'perceptions of declining opportunity & social cohesion' than any particular fiscal measure" www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

The News, the heat, it’s all a lot. Here’s a Friday wind down at the River Otter with the husband and Lily.

How East Anglia Bylines exposed a council’s impersonation of police and triggered change East Anglia Bylines exposed a local council fraud unit using police-style uniforms – prompting shutdowns and reforms

Have you been following the bylines articles about Thurrock council, fake police, and bounce back fraud? You couldn’t make it up, hang on, I’ll find it.

Well this is quite the pickle isn’t it. 🍿

Update: we’ve finished it. A harrowing watch tbh, only the tech side of things hasn’t quite happened. Politically Russell T nailed it. Incredible foresight.

I reckon there’s a case here for register your land with named ownership of forfeit it. We could give it time…. 5 year plan? Although it took land registry a full year to update my deeds when I bought my last house.

Dear UK Labour

**TAX WEALTH** you absolute planks.

Years and Years (TV Mini Series 2019) ⭐ 8.3 | Drama, Sci-Fi 1h | TV-MA

I’ve been watching Years and Years on Netflix. Had to stop for a week or two at episode 4 because my heart was breaking. Braved 5 last night, ep.6 tonight. Billed as Dystopian in 2019, it’s just accurate reality now. Frankly, not to be missed. m.imdb.com/title/tt8694...

I’m watching the US descend and I’m thinking in a month or two we’ll see Trump and Co introduce Exit Visas for citizens. There’s a North Korea feel to the path they’re on.

Surely everyone could get behind this bill, let it pass, then USE IT to stop pollution. MTG might think she’s talking about her imaginary gremlin atmospheric enemies here, but she’s literally describing pollution - the source of climate change. You could clean up your air!

I was so elated on election night, goodbye Tories. All these changes listed are for the good, but I can’t get past arming Israel, protest laws, continuing taxation & financial decimation of the poor, micro businesses on their knees, the two child benefit cap just sat there in stone and so much more

Oh Lord, it’s global. 🥦

I see they all have the “broccoli” cut, much favoured by teen chaps in our area.
