Discovering the concept of a public servant

Because apart from @zoejardiniere.bsky.social who is amazing, there isn’t really anyone that can be easily called on to put those opposing views. Remembering that bookers are lazy/overworked, I think it would help to have a pro-immigration party that could supply engaging ppl to go on TV and argue

Feel sorry for the future historians trying to read my diary to understand these apocalyptic times, deciphering my terrible handwriting, randomly added letters & spelling words like bothe withe an e for some reason, only to discover its 90% dog content, 9% tv reviews and 1% reflecting on The Horrors

The Met Office are letting us submit our own storm name suggestions:

www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

There's space for five names in the submission boxes.

Let's go with:

Exxon Mobil
BP
Shell
Equinor
Chevron

At last, those companies will get the recognition they deserve.

Pls retweet!

Read some Byron, Shelley and Keats, recited it over a hip hop beat has always made me cringe

Push the Button by the Sugababes. The whole song makes no sense. For example: My sexy ass has got him in the new dimension
I'm ready to do something to relieve this mission

Or, Up The Junction: I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator. No one gives birth in an incubator!!

As a Brit I am so confused about whether I should be pronouncing it the way Americans would say launch or Brits. FWIW I’ve always said tranche to rhyme with (southern British) ranch, which is sort of the same as American launch (I think?)

Spoilers but isn’t there an ep (season 5 the initiative maybe?) where they have to take roles in a spell and Xander literally is “the heart”?

Not now universe

For All Mankind might be my ideal show. Apollo aesthetic, SciFi, drama, heart, feminism. Love it! Just finished season 1 and I’m happy to have discovered it late and have lots to watch

These days, you gaze into an abyss they say you're leering - they cancel you. I try to tell them, I say, the abyss, it's gazing back. It's mutual. But no. We used to be a proper country, fighting monsters. Now gaze upon our works and despair.

Because of woke.

It was a sad day when I discovered my universal remote control did not, in fact, control the universe.

Not even remotely.

Hooray!

I met someone who met one once and made him tell me the story three times

I cannot adequately express how much I would love to meet a quokka

Did you publish anything on that? I would love to read it! (Really)

Mine was the somewhat unexpected popularity of my Wonder Moomin doodle, which according to the old twitter analytics had over 8 million (!!!) impressions

Yep, me too

They only promised that the little things would be alright, to be fair to them

filing suit against bob marley and universal music group for their false claim that "everything's gonna be all right"

Rachel Reeves accused of 1. not knowing enough about economics and 2. reading TOO MUCH ABOUT ECONOMICS all in the same week, beat that

Hear me out… do it like a silent disco. Everyone gets noise cancelling headphones that play the audio of the movie. Then everyone can sing along or not and no one is disturbed. Plus the audio in the room will be hilarious and great for viral content.

gentle reminder

you can always be put in the bird tube without warning

I finished it 🥲 it was so good I stayed up and now I’m sad it’s finished! Thank you so much @jaynee-b.bsky.social and let me know if you have any more recommendations, you have my kind of taste in books!

RIP dangerously leaning tree. Nevermore will I run quickly past you so you don’t fall on my head. I’ll miss those good times. #stormbert #morningwalk
