It would be nice if those locals’ concerns were articulated as β€œplease don’t open your human rights-trammelling death camp* here and instead treat these people with some modicum of dignity” but I think we all know how it’ll be put.

Liquidambar leaf palette just nowπŸ‘‡πŸΌ. Pause for a moment if you’re feeling anxious-your brain’s likely to release dopamine due to a positive response to colour gradation, certain bright colours & looking at images our brains find appealing. A pause here will make your day slightly easier to tackle 🍁

The best time to have left X was the instant he threw a Nazi salute. The second-best time is now.

I’m going to stick a muffin in each bra cup so people think I’m cold and anatomically enhanced then when they stare at me I’m going to pull out the muffins and eat them fiendishly without breaking eye contact
Then and only then will I break out in song and start sobbing

My 'in two' is always counted as a fluke. I'm more pleased with myself when I get it in three... πŸ˜†

Anyway, I don't think racists do it because they love their country. I think they do it because they hate their lives.

This map shows which year had the warmest summer on record, for mean temperature, area by area.

Note that for many areas, it was summer 2025.

1976 is no longer the warmest summer on record for any area.

Boycotted on the run up to the Scottish independence referendum. No longer a trusted source of news, or much else, sadly.

I will turn your programme off every time you give this man air time. The BBC set the bar so low; stop stooping to meet it.

Pictures of starving Gaza children are β€˜fake’, claims former Israeli general We spoke to retired Israeli brigadier general Amir Avivi.

"If they stay in an area that is in an intense war zone, of course they're endangering themselves."

@c4ciaran.bsky.social asks retired Israeli brigadier general Amir Avivi what Israel will do if Gazans refuse to move.

Israel's siege is starving the people of Gaza.

We have joined more than 100 aid and rights groups to demand action - before there is no one left to save.

Baltimore is the latest example showing that community-based solutions to crime actually work β€” not more aggressive policing and harsher punishment.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Sorry, it published before I too late tried to get the alt text in. Stena ferry funnel with fading sunset and moon to the side. Inside a train reflected in a window, outside the sun sets over water and land in the middle distance.
