Day 2 of being off with flu and catching up on movies I haven't had the chance to see.

1 hour and 5 minutes in: Is Tár the most boring movie ever made?

That's two people I thought of as friends that I've had to unfollow on Instagram so far for sharing pro-Hamas content on October 7th. Just sickening.

This whole thread is absolutely peak Bluesky. Dear Americans, not everything is about you.

Yeah I have no idea what this is referring to?

Oh dear...I'm off today too 🤒

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

It's just a contrast to 2000 where the future seemed bright, they had chickens, and my Mum loved it

Well tonight it felt like the next fight against fascism. You had the usual well trained white nationalist bros going fully against the queer and brown people who just happened to be enjoying their night, yet wanted a "debate" from them

Oh my goodness. I'd recommend watching this series of Big Brother to get an understanding of how far things have gone in the discourse.

Such a sad contrast to the show from 25 years ago where it was so optimistic, and open and tolerant.

Today, it's our forward facing time machine.

While also being a Councillor for the party of the PM in office!

That autopsy man took so much glee at the end in saying "I can't rule out he was pushed". Disgusting really.

Thank goodness

That Jay Slater documentary on 4...I know they didn't show the body but I actually didn't need to see the filming of them as they conducted the autopsy and described what they were doing. I feel quite sick.

It got even more absurd after that

Time for a new dog

Ming Campbell standing at a podium in 2006, surrounded by applauding Lib Dem MPs and colleagues

Full of sadness to hear about the death of Sir Menzies Campbell, or Ming, as we called him. His incisive intellect made him a formidable debater, though he was unfailingly courteous and always a gentleman. He spoke with power, authority and moral clarity in opposition to the Iraq War. He was right.

Podcast when?

Ming Campbell was such a kind and extraordinary figure. I still remember his incredibly strong handshake when I met him as a 17 year old!

Oh no. I met him when I was a young 17 year old activist in the Borders and he said "You must be the man from YouTube!" (Back in the days when I did politics vlogging). I remember being surprised at how firm his handshake was.

Maggie used to scream endlessly around the flat when I went to bed. We thought something was seriously wrong. But she had just learnt that doing this got her attention and cuddles.

When we stopped coming out to see her, she stopped doing it after a while

So you deal with the pain now for a few more days or you have him in your bed the rest of his life. Your choice!

You're gonna need to nip this in the bud. Endure the barking until he learns his lesson

See also Trump's comments this evening. Becoming clearer that Russia's position is getting more desperate.

Never understand anyone who slags off London. Have you been here? It’s fucking amazing.

Moscow is literally "encircled" by Ukrainian drones. Russia has closed the airspace over its capital. Airports have implemented the "Kover" (Carpet) plan.

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

It was learned from Willie Rennie in Scotland. It worked a treat for him

Oh no! I saw Weapons on Friday and had so much fun! What cinema was made for

Having just been in Hong Kong, the fact we never asked the population what they wanted to happen to them, still feels like such a mistake.
