That Halper-Hayes woman is played by Felicity Kendal. #bbcqt

Most of them wouldn't even bother to spit on the girls exploited by grooming gangs. Utter hypocrisy.

Well, young *politics students*, which isn't quite the same thing.

You were still drunk and now it's hangover time?

Iranian Revolution or Thatcher winning the 1979 UK election. Not sure which came first.

Over-exposed and like a lot of successful entrepreneurs, not as good at everything he turns his hand to as he would like to believe. I miss when you had to be a journalist to do journalism.

Polio vaccines make you get fat and die in the toilet, clearly.

Cartoon by stephen collins: script follows: [Scene is a SUPERMARKET. An OLD LADY is struggling to reach the top shelf of the cleaning products aisle. A little BOY in a bobble hat is looking at her as she strains to reach up]. 1 BOY: Are you OK? 2 OLD LADY: Ooh... I'm trying to reach the Cleenco Multi Surface Cleaner 3 OLD LADY: My tall husband used to reach it down for me... 4 OLD LADY: before he tragically died. 5 BOY: Don’t worry 6 BOY: I’m an unrealistically empathetic Christmas Advert Child 7 BOY: I can randomly summon some fairies with your dead husband’s face, to get a bottle down for you! 8 [Pause while the old lady looks at him askance] 9 OLD LADY: Bit weird but OK 10 [Indie ballad plays] [tiny fairies with an old man’s face fly down from the shelf with a bottle of CLEENCO Multi Surface Cleaner] 11 [Show the fairies giving the old lady the bottle] 12 [Final panel shows a product shot of the bottle]: CLEENCO Multi Surface Cleaner (We felt obliged to do a Christmas ad)

we just sort of felt obliged to do one

Even by British standards, this month has thus far been remarkably dank.

Trump thinks that elections aren't already based exclusively on the Electoral College.

It's the dementia.

I swear that if I can't get a Guinness when I want one because some Gen Z kid wants to make a TikTok, I'll split *their* G.

Tim Montgomerie has joined Reform?

Thanks for the blow-by-blow @iandunt.bsky.social. Just caught up on it all. Good reporting with insight and wit.

A terrific theory that pairs well with the Economist's terrific and terrifying chart of Musk's tweeting.

Really, Nigel? Tw*t.

KITCHENWARE COMPANY BOSS: So, did you come up with a name for that revolving food tray, Susan?
SUSAN: No, couldn't be arsed.

This is all well and good, but if it isn't funded, it won't happen. Ultimately care workers get paid badly because local authorities pay providers badly. And councils are skint. Rayner has personal beef with private sector care providers, but she won't fix this by blaming the crisis on them.

Standard Poke MO, though. They need some traffic so they fish for something that generated moderate interest some years ago, and then say it's "...gone viral all over again" in the hope that it will. I guess they have to make a living. Best regards to your cats - I bet they're very happy.

This tale of a man refused a rescue cat because he's gay is an all-time jaw dropper Here’s a chap called Alex Andreou who was going to adopt a rescue cat when this exchange happened with the people who were looking to rehome it. Alex, who writes, sings, acts and cooks, according to h...

I'm following you just because of this post. These are my credentials.

Back atcha!

UK weather: Storm Bert to cause disruption with snow, winds and rain Second named storm of the season expected this weekend, with hundreds of schools already closed after snowfall

Storm Bert on the way this weekend, just when I need to put up a temporary shed thing. Great.

The irony is that by European standards, the US Democrats are already centre-right.

If I'd like to see one thing done differently on Bluesky as opposed to other playforms, it's be to stop pitting generations against one another as if they're homogenous masses. Your age, whether young or old, doesn't prevent you being a prick.

Dr Oz?! Is Trump just trolling us now? In some perverse way I'm almost looking forward to seeing how insane the next four years are going to be.

You win

And all those typewriter companies. I often think of them...
