Another embarrassing constituency email from my MP. He didn't get my vote - to be clear!

Why does he see Prince Andrew's arrest as a "lynching"? It's a very odd choice of words & now has me wondering if we should be expecting to see his name in the files 🤔

He could also have just said nothing.

Me: I'd like to watch some winter Olympics
BBC: Do you like Curling?
Me: Not really
BBC: There's about 20 total mins of the events you want to watch sandwiched between about 4000 hours of Curling. Bonus, we won't tell you which episodes your events are in, you'll just have to guess.
Me: 😑

This demonstrates that cats are liquid 😉

Jennie and Steve at the presentation of Westminster Dog of the Year.

My amazing guide dog Jennie is the Westminster Dog of the Year! I couldn't be more proud of her. She is so much more than a guide dog; she's a good friend and my constant companion! She deserves all the treats and cuddles in the world! Thank you to everyone that voted! 🐾🏆

Wow!

The guy was absolutely awful, but I would never wish harm even on those I really dislike.

Is now the right time for the US to talk about gun control?

Happy National Day mi gente #Gibraltar

Reform HQ rebranded as ‘Trump Tower’

While Farage is off in America talking Britain down, we gave Reform HQ a rebrand.

We hope it will make him feel more at home.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

3d Comments Feminism is just one big fake trophy given to women to make them feel good about themselves and to make them think they actually did something. When in reality it was a MANS decision. You asked MEN for PERMISSION to do stuff. And we ALLOWED it. So technically u don't "need feminism" (which doesn't exist), you NEED (since the dawn of time) MEN. And if u disagree, cry harder

Dude crashing out that women aren't chattel

Why isn't Neil Young's Glastonbury set on BBC iPlayer? 😔

It's International Pride Day!

Liberal Democrats will keep fighting until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.

The kind of content we all need at this moment 🦦

Heartbreaking 😥

I just watched the 2023 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film and I enjoyed it but I was so disappointed none of the turtles said "Cowabunga dude!". Or if they did, I did not notice.

I also feel like the soundtrack could have done with a bit of Beastie Boys 😉

Perfectly captured

Genesis, Queen, The Who and Led Zeppelin through my parents.

😆

Any moment now, I'm sure.

Double meaning to VE Day this year with the Vatican Election too.

The science behind the smoke colours #ChimneyWatch

I briefly watched some of BBC's chimney watch on the papal election and they had not one, but TWO camera angles side-by-side on that chimney. I'm wondering how many more angles they'll be showing when I check back in next time 🤔

This is genuinely such a fun read.

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that. The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search, reported the International Energy Agency."
