No one is eating swans. In actuality you sometimes don’t get a fine for having no parking ticket in Marlborough Waitrose when the swan is threatening anyone to close to his favourite spot by the machine. 🤣🤣

Im not under any illusions. However this one in, one out is an odd method 🤣

Time to remind #farage of his stated views on MP defections. #wiltshirebyelectionnow #dannykruger #notmyMP

But I just bought a lovely red velvety cloche hat, can I get an exclusion please? Especially if I say Im not American 😂

For the non Brits still confused about irony. Someone who says that “a few deaths are worth it for the freedom to bear arms” getting shot themselves is irony. Tragic irony, yes, but still irony. Understand this and you will better understand

Word of the Day is ‘theic’ (19th century), defined as ‘one given to immoderate tea-drinking; a tea drunkard’.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

One day the steep hills had gotten the better of them and they’d done an emergency stop. A stack of those 144 cardboard egg trays had gone flying, and it was just flowing out. More villages need a veggie lady!

@theguardian.com talking about a grocery van mobile shop being a new government pilot in Liverpool. We had one of those in the Mendips in the 70’s. We called her the veggie lady, and my friend and I would wait on a Wednesday or Saturday morning as the van also brought sweets 😁 /1

We are so lucky to have a walk that is almost entirely in the shade from mid afternoon onwards. Plus a handy shaded shallow river half way round for drinks and zoomies #dogs #summer #walking

This is the #houseofcommons live. The majority of MPs as usual are not working here, they are working flexibly. We just want the same. 🤷‍♀️

The Curious Geometry of Intelligence Intelligence—natural or artificial—may be a matter of geometric structure, not temporal sequence, challenging how we understand thought itself.

Face Blindness aka #Prosopagnosia means I get very uneasy around pictures of faces and eyes as my brain is always struggling to verify the face. This bedroom is my personal #uncannyvalley 😱 its from www.next.co.uk if it isnt creeping you out 😆

Please insert “go” before every “boom” and this suddenly makes sense: “The markets are going to boom, the stock (market) is going to boom, the country is going to boom and the rest of the world wants to see is there any way they can make a deal.”

A man holds a y shaped double dog lead. He has two dogs who have run round a large tree, one on either side to look for squirrels, meaning they are now stuck with the tree dividing them. The man is happy to let the tree take the strain for a while as they are big dogs.

When dual dog leads fail 🤦‍♀️

The giant yellow big bird from Sesame Street is marching in the crowd with Dark Vader and his senior staff and guards. Big bird is significantly taller than the already tall death Vader.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Elon Musk gives thanks for a twitter post from Donald Trump saying: @realDonald Trump To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is "putting it on the line" in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World's great automakers, and Elon's "baby," in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for. They tried to do it to me at the 2024 Presidential Ballot Box, but how did that work out? In any event, l'm going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American. Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN??? 163K Ill 7.4M N 1
