This is great. Someone has put up tricolours all over our nearest town, and I am v suspicious of the motive. Adding Palestine and Ukraine flags would make them much less ambiguous.

Think you need to meet Cinnamon and Potato, BFFs.

Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal.

Is this a fancy term for minding someone’s cat while they’re on an overseas work trip?

I know the Dublin GAA team are disproportionately well-funded, but fourth largest economy in the world? That's a stretch.

Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of my favourite ever teacher.
Apart from being an excellent teacher in class, he used to take us to debate competitions and table quizes.

One evening in the car he mentioned that all the schools we were competing with wore uniforms. (Our school didn't).

This is a magnificent story :)

A club statement from Blackpool saying Steve Bruce has been sacked along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence. Stephen Dobbie and Steve Banks will take temporary charge.

You don’t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

The police will tell you they have 'no choice' because PA are a proscribed organisation but come to Belfast and you learn very quickly that is a lie.

This is absolutely a choice.

A regular fidget for me. I do it with any random scrap of paper.

I’ll see that “pack it out” challenge and raise you a “take an extra trash bag and pick up some extra trash if you have the chance”. The parks and wildlife will be better for it.

Tbilisi, 🇬🇪 — thousands have taken to the streets right now and are marching toward the presidential palace.

This is something that's been worrying me since it was announced a few months ago.

I've been here for 4 years, have invested in this country, believe in the future of it, am literally teaching the children of it, but the thought I won't be able to be treated as a citizen is disturbing to me.

"Our credible plan is also an acrostic."

(This is, genuinely, the actual Conservative press release.)

Naoise Dolan: As we get closer to Gaza, Israel’s abduction of our fellow flotilla members will only spur us on Friday, October 4, 12.25am local time. I should sleep before my night watch shift begins in two hours, but my boat’s violent tilting makes it impossible. There is a loud, interminable drilling noise; ...
