How does the Kindle manage to be simultaneously a great product but have the worst user interface?

Are patriots

Another brilliant takedown of the right wing media from @monkemma.bsky.social

I love Grand Designs but I love this more.

Despicable

Not that many years since a popular position in right-wing British politics was calling for the police to use significant force to remove protesters blocking roads Of course, that was when environmentalists were doing it

The word ‘protesters’ doing a lot of heavy lifting here considering there are no banners or message, just a bunch of masked idiots.

People: You can't just post one line from a song and expect everyone to know the song. ME: And you’ll hum this tune forever

Nigel Farage suggests the police advised him against attending the result of the Clacton by-election. Essex Police completely deny this, telling the BBC "we have a proportionate and robust policing operation to ensure the safety and security of all participants in the count"

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22

Teachers told to add clairvoyance to skills.

@theguardian.com Can you please stop using ‘maxxing’ in your articles? It’s incredibly irritating and not even a word.

Water companies’ greed continues unabated. ‘Overall reported pay packets rose by 1.5% to £25.3m for chief executives and chief financial officers in the year, thanks to salary rises and the use of pay loopholes, according to analysis of the 14 companies that serve most of England and Wales.’

Is there a word for feeling just so weary of how awful and selfish people are

Have the British public always been so self centred? I’m staggered by how many people I’ve seen saying ‘I don’t use buses so what good is that?’ Or ‘pubs aren’t for me so who cares?’ Millions of people do use each and they are both pretty vital for our economy and society

The BBC and other broadcasters have swallowed the right's small boat invasion narrative hook, line and sinker. They have no interest in reporting a fall in crossings - especially as the weather cannot be blamed. Normal service will be resumed if numbers start rising again.

@minimoog.bsky.social CTF is alive!!

@protovision.co.uk CTF is alive!!

Word.

Here is a non paywalled link to the Times piece on convicted criminal George Cottrell funding Nigel Farage, or "Daddy" as he calls him. archive.ph/2026.07.04-2...

Technically, they’re Remains now.

No joy to be found today. No satisfaction. Just frustration and a profound sense of squandered opportunity iandunt.substack.com/p/the-traged...

That list in full (suggestions welcome )

This. Stop calling them ‘protesters’. They’re thugs.

What absolute bullshit. Click bait for the ‘can’t even look at a woman without getting arrested these days’ brigade.

Today Richard Stupid Tice will mostly be shouting at eggs.

There's a new initiative in Makerfield to put signs up pointing at places where idiots live.

Textbook smear from this putrid, lying paper. The story itself makes clear that whatever did or did not occur was only in Rayner’s constituency, and nothing to do with her. Headline implies she has committed electoral fraud. Contemptible.

LIFE RULES: Insulate your house with books to ward off evil Oppose the zombie AI apocalypse Never click on a link to the Daily Mail Use double the recommended amount of garlic Always stop to say hi to sheep And to horses too (but in a fake posh voice) I think that's more or less everything covered?

Yes, i want to watch a film about a smuggled chicken. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

Unfortunately nobody from Reform is available to speak to any journalists at the moment due to being very busy avoiding scrutiny about the £5 million I failed to declare.

Vous ne pouvez pas stationner la monsieur

Concern grows for Suella Braverman as she completely forgets she spent nine years as part of the Conservative government, including two periods as Home Secretary, responsible for immigration.

So it turns out Nigel Farage's widely-reported claims that 'Boriswave' migrants will cost every household £20,000 are based on dodgy figures and inflated assumptions. Reform have simply invented their own numbers…” say experts. bylinetimes.com/2026/04/16/e...

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

This is the visual the @theguardian.com used for an article on stalking. Not just me, surely?

I forget who said that women should always be in charge of war, because men get too emotional about it, but somehow it’s been coming to mind recently.

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Just finished Detectorists and the world feels like a slightly nicer place.
