Anyone else done NYT #Connections today and made the same mistake as me? I mean, it was technically a right answer 😳

How does it work... did Katie Lam have to get agreement from her party before putting forward the Immigration and Visas Bill?

Greetings from Kyiv,
which suffers from russian attacks
and power outages,
but lives.

The sky was so beautiful today.
I just stood and watched.

Fabulous analysis 👌🏻

I wonder if this info will make its way into mainstream media.

I think it's happening more because phones don't come with headphone jacks anymore and not everyone has or likes earbuds (I know this has been a thing with Apple for forever but android phones have now caught up) bsky.app/profile/lind...

And you have to wonder why the gov press release chose not to

Good! Always thought it was particularly rude when receiving letters from law firms during my time as a probation officer.

Think it's the % of the 5,000 16-40 year olds who were asked

This is *such* a bad take I think I'm going to have to unfollow.

Ah OK. I'm still getting used to how it all works over here 👍🏻

Screenshot of the above post, but I can't see who Alex has quoted because it says 'blocked' where the quoted post would normally be.

If it says 'blocked' like this, does it mean I've blocked them, or they've blocked me?

There was a book of them. When I was 15 on work experience I was given said book and had to choose and run one. I organised for all delegates to walk around with post-it notes on their head guessing which famous person they were 🤦🏻‍♀️

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

Top 3 for me (all joint with 88%). A better outcome than I expected. I'm pleased. They each have their charm 🤍 (maybe I need to lighten up a bit though)

Do you even have a job vacancy available?! So weird.

Wouldn't the teabags remain in the teapot back then? One teabag per mug is where it's got really extravagant.

It's a great piece. I was in Shirley, Solihull yesterday and there were flags all down the High Street. This video made me wonder, are the organisers as grass routes as they say they are?

I really don't think I could risk going to Trump's America. I take heart mediation too, and to be without it could result in death like it did here.

UK here: My mom (70) said most of the suds drip off when the plates drain, but also asks how you would rinse off the soap suds if you don't have two sinks?

It's a shorter distance to the used teabag dish than to the bin so there's less dripping and spillage, no? 🫖

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Milton Keynes tonight for Inside No9 Stage Fright tour. Was a bit apprehensive as it's more husband's thing than mine (I bought him tickets for his birthday) but absolutely loved it, thanks

Kyiv today.
Gorgeous in the rain.

I want the world to see it
not only through the lens of war.
