That is weirdly stunning - particularly the double helix snakes!

It’s a pain in Australia as if you want to fly anywhere else - Canada, South America, even some Europe spots, the cheap routes or points seats all now include an American leg, as they try to backfill planes.

There’s been a shift in Australia - it started with its own tune which wasn’t either, but has changed into some sort of faster-paced hybrid nightmare

Well that’s done it. I’m going to pose as Harrison Stickle to get a better table in restaurants and rename my house Dollywaggon.

It’s hard to believe you used to be considered a serious newspaper.

I find it hard to believe that I was actually a subscriber for years.

This headline might work better if it stripped him of the title.

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

I like how ‘photog’ breaks the rules of shortening the job name and adding y, so we sometimes have to call them ‘snappers’ instead. But we even have bussies (bus drivers), glassies (the guy who collects your beer glass), chippies (carpenters)

Something that two years ago would have been a resigning issue for a frontbencher to say isn’t even the headline any more because - well, because those views are everywhere now apparently? I suppose. But they’re everywhere *within a very specific circle*

I’m now invested in what happens next for the misguided fool that is Arthur Pentlow

'Yeah, let's make the whole of England look like Belfast's Shankill Road at the height of sectarian violence in the 1980s', said no one more than five minutes ago.

this was the worst thing about Trump 1.0, every week felt like a year

I cannot fucking believe people wanted to go back to this

Probably the most important but neglected scandal about Mandelson.

Epstein was close to Peter Thiel. Thiel had secret meetings with Cummings and Johnson before Palantir’s 100m contract

Mandelson’s Global Counsel was pitching Thiel’s Palantir to Starmer.

What a carousel of cronyism

This is why I love you Moose. And your Neitzsche joke the other day has been judged a ‘quality meme’ by my young lad, which is heady praise.

Buried hand behind head? Or arm nowhere nearby? Or simply a nasty message for thieves? So many questions

Adding my vote - this is one of those books that should be thrust into the hands of every bookish teenager. Hugely likeable read with great world building.

Just finished it. Will be recommending far and wide!

This is both depressing and spot on - particularly in light of the Shattered Britain report that’s just come out from @moreincommonuk.bsky.social

I love the Grandad ambulance do much

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

Two tiny humans (1 & 2?) are sitting in a red cart pulled by Mum. One is dressed like a crocheted woolly bunny, the other like a dragon. Their expressions benevolent as they survey their subjects, accepting all appreciative looks and adoration. (1)

That is such a wonderful read / and now I’m firmly invested in him, his beard, his turn of phrase and his work. Thank you!

It may be the best Disney cartoon ever - best song as well

Now you might have read Who Is Bugs Potter, but if not, can I recommend my all time favourite young adult orchestral crime comedy (Gordon Korman).

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

I’d ‘like’ the speed with which you retrieved that but it is too horrific for words

Starting to think these folks aren’t the “free thinkers” they think they are

I’m sorry not enough attention is being given to the reincarnation of her brother as a kettle.

The 'Millionaire Exodus' the UK Media Told You About Never Actually Happened The equivalent of 30 stories a day were published about an exodus of wealthy people that a new study finds was "non existent"

The “millionaire exodus” to which the British press devoted at least 30 stories a day was a myth
