why yes I *am* showing my age, thank you for noticing

unexpected earworm of the day: the theme song from Huxley Pig

This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got.

Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean?

Last line is especially ominous

A cream-coloured duvet cover with thin navy stripes, covered in dark cat hair

cat’s shedding a bit

A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war.

Here's what has happened since then to public opinion

I wonder if this will ever not be true

It’s almost like the UK’s right-wing press doesn’t actually reflect public opinion but instead the fevered imaginations of a very small group of sociopaths.

Genuinely to this day if someone on TV tells another character to put yourself first I can’t stop myself shouting “in a sexy way!”

I remember being stunned into silence by that last one! (Also it’s not particularly double entendre-y but my god Put Yourself First still slaps)

Oh no, are they going to be saying 'frozen liquid gas' on the news all the time again? WELL WHICH IS IT?

just heard something come through the letterbox and I was like “I swear if that’s the Labour Party again…” but it was just our council tax bill lol

Tweet from matt (@mattxiv): using the passive "dead" and the active "killed" in the SAME HEADLINE is absolutely diabolical Quoted tweet from Sky News (@SkyNews): Latest attacks in Lebanon leave nearly 400 dead as two Israeli soldiers killed trib.al/xORAqhP

Like at this point it’s no secret to the people writing these headlines that this kind of thing has been roundly criticized for years and years. It’s an intentional, conscientious decision on their part. They know they’re propagandists (and, for better or worse, we all are!).

apparently it’s gonna be neck and neck between Reform and the Greens to get the seat round here next time

for context: I live in an area that has been solidly Labour for decades and I don’t remember them doing much door-knocking since I moved here five years ago, but I’m guessing they’re seeing the way the wind is blowing

You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name

I have had @jamesasser.bsky.social tell me that Streeting is not “a transphobe”.

The words of James Baldwin come to mind about the Labour Party RN.

“I can’t believe what you say because I see what you do.”

A sign of cultural shift: whenever I see a sport themed novel now, I assume it's a LGBTQ+ romance until I find out it's not.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Told her I was busy, she tried to give me a leaflet. At that point I realised she was Labour (she hadn’t said upfront) and I told her I wasn’t interested. She said “it’s different locally”, I asked her to please leave. She asked who I was voting for and I closed the door on her.

I’ve had that too. He also says he’s sure that the “overwhelming majority of his colleagues agree that there can be no rolling back of rights won”, which he’s been saying for over a year and it gets less true every day.

just turned away a separate Labour canvasser, this time the candidate, who knocked on my door and then knocked again five seconds later when I hadn’t answered

he already looked quite defeated, I’m guessing it’s not going well

just turned a Labour canvasser away at the door lads

Guess who this will be targeted at.

oh so does that mean they'll be looking at the finances and activities of the LGB Alliance and Sex Matters

Yes, why don't all Irish, English, Russian, Ukranian, Finnish and Lithuanian people all live together in one big country?

rewrite the Hippocratic Oath to specifically exclude Wes Streeting

Ours ends next month 🫠

No report in the Guardian about a woman MP being attacked on International Women’s Day by transphobic fascists after just a week in the job.

They have these “news” items though
