The interesting thing is that this is probably when Priti Patel's career peaked. She went on to become one of the most unpopular frontbench politicians within her own party, running for leader and getting few votes. Still, she got into the House of Lords, so I guess she thinks it was worth it.

A living room stove, fire blazing. On the top are a small saucepan and moka pot, visible by their reflections in an otherwise dark space.

The power cut remains: should be back by 8pm apparently. Waiting for the world’s slowest cup of tea before I go to work. 😅

(This is why I always print everything days ahead!!)

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

🧵 I think it would help if people stopped ‘feeling’ whether or not a person or party is/was extreme or far right.

There’s actually a fairly respected definition. Let me take you through it & then you can decide if someone meets the definition. This is aimed, in particular, at journos [1]

…I spoke too soon! We just had a power cut! 😂

Storm Amy blows through: electricity fine

Monday night: random power cut 🫠

Guess I won’t be knitting much tonight then! 😅

Oooh glorious!

We have electricity! And WiFi! And matcha lattes!

SCREAM 😂

Fuck me why do we have to live in such STUPID times 🫠

Noooooo 😭😭😭

(I write this from a screen with 2 cracks bisecting the screen and a stone shatter down beside the home button, totally feel your pain! 🫠💔)

i do think that’s where a lot of the obvious resentment for the userbase comes from. 90% of us on here doesn’t really care about the primary reason why this place exists but use his place out of sheer convenience

I already really liked Cory Doctorow but I am especially appreciative of him for validating my "Google searches aren't working so well anymore" complaints 6-8 years ago, when almost everyone I knew was telling me I was imagining things or doing it wrong. I knew I wasn't imagining it.

Paging @ariadnereviews.bsky.social 😅❤️

RIGHT ❤️

As far as we know, the BBC didn't officially refused to interview @greenparty.org.uk leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social during conference - but leaving out our Jewish party leader in the week a terrorist murdered and terrorised Jewish people in his own city feels like a very deliberate editorial call

Green Party conference

Trans healthcare
Anti racism framework
Abolish landlords
Proscribed the IDF
Oppose Trumps Gaza plan

And loads more.

That is policy making.

First time I've ever seen the comments positively celebrating an elimination result!

Delighted that my bae Cynthia will be popping in next week as well for Movie Week.

The FUCK did I just watch. Poor Amy deserves double pay this year. And possible therapy.

La Voix's reaction to her Movie Week dance? hang it in the Louvre #scd #strictly

Claudia is CREASING at La Voix, this is delightful!

I have been thinking that Golden would work well on Strictly! What a shame.

Rest well friend! ❤️

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

You can put OverDrive onto certain models of Kobo so if your library uses Libby you’ll be fine! (If they only use Borrowbox, not sure…)

Might have to revise my opinion of the Greens as petit bourgeois gardeners because they are absolutely cooking at the moment
