New petition: Require major online retailers to state the recyclability of product packaging We call on the UK Government to require large online retailers to clearly display the recyclability of all product packaging, including any boxing. Labels should state whether packaging is, for example: fully recyclable, partly recyclable, biodegradable/compostable, or not recyclable.

A cafe in Dublin airport has a robot that delivers hot food orders! But it just sped off without letting the people get their food out.

When it came back it had a human minder. And when my order arrived, the same human bought it, saying she couldn't trust the robot.

I couldn't hack it as a 17C lady if it meant having an itchy starched lace collar rubbing my neck all day, every day. No wonder Elizabeth I got increasingly bad tempered as she got older.

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

I bought Nadja 4 different toys for Christmas and have tried to eke them out as she destroyed the first one within 2 days. They've been stored on the top shelf of a cupboard within the understairs cupboard. She's just come out of the cupboard with her trophy having remembered where it was! #caturday

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Absolutely! They should also include an exhibit on the murder stone of #Cadoxton. I lived there one summer and was fascinated by the industrial ruins hidden in the woods.

Morning/bore da! I'm having a timeline cleanse by muting or blocking accounts which don't use alt text on images. If you don't already use alt text, it only takes a couple of clicks to set a prompt and enables greater reach of your posts.

Please remember alt text in images so that your posts are more accessible. You can set alt text as a default when uploading images.

I made the mistake of getting a taxi from the port to the airport in Naples and never, in all of my travels, have I feared more for my life. There is a reason my Neapolitan Nan advised me never to go!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Inexplicably people in Broughton (Flintshire, UK) have bought 4 seats for Friday afternoon and 5 seats for Friday evening. I don't want to look at any more dates, it might depress me too much.

US remove tanker captain from UK waters as crew set to leave Scotland The US Department of Justice told Scottish authorities that the skipper and his first officer were on board the US Coast Guard vessel Munro.

It very much looks like the US Government has just abducted two people from Scotland hours after our Court of Session ordered that they not be removed.

The US is a rogue state. It's time to evict their troops from their de-facto base at (publicly owned) Prestwick airport.
