Proudest moment walking by my old Jobcentre who wouldnt give childcare when youngest was a baby- helped fix that.’deaf’ single mum of teens

Just a year ago his beautiful mother was living on the streets of Thailand after a life of being used for breeding. We found her scavenging around for food. To see Sienna now in Wales, on daily walks in the forests and being spoiled rotten is the thing of absolute dreams.

Listening to R4 Today Debate:Does British farming need rescuing? Person on the panel stated a crisis that farmland was covered in solar panels, if rejoin EU then British producers may move to Spain as energy prices are so low Why is energy so cheap in Spain? SOLAR www.euronews.com/2026/06/16/s...

It is absolutely wild that people are discussing how being rude to #AI could cause people to become more intolerant in real life, but NOT discussing how bots and commenters/influencers on #social media are making the actual society that #LLMs are trained on intolerant and hateful in the first place.

Hi folks. After the awful death of a young man by tiger (not the tigers fault) and maiming of a child by a crocodile, I started a petition to ban open walkways over enclosures. Days out must always be safe-attractions should be supported in this. Sign here ⤵️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/78...

The cutest thing you'll see today Repost of @PerceptiveBliss: Original post

The degradation of British politics has either made Suella Braverman – a former *attorney general* – this stupid and irresponsible, or else entirely indifferent to appearing as such to those who know the law if it gets her applause from her online fan base.

Good to hear the Prime Minister saying to @bbclaurak.bsky.social that crude cuts to welfare just push costs elsewhere, and the problems we need to address are the economic failures that put pressure on our social security system. He’s right about this.

Danny Tommo, Amodei, Man City fair play Piddington, Macklemore, Dolly ain’t alive no more Netanyahu’s iron dome, Meg and Harry coming home New cat, Clavicular COVID CONSCIOUS LESBIAN BAR 🎶 we didn’t start the fire 🎶

I just had a thought about how many cool fossils were probably destroyed by early humans going “ohhh rock, rock for tool” and then I remembered the West Tofts handaxe exists and we’ve just always been making weird art I love it. digventures.com/2020/06/amaz...

They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

*walks into interview* interviewer: (smugly) well I'm glad to see you didn't bring an iced coffee ... but who's your friend? me: oh this is my barista

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

I am a peri menopausal single mother working and volunteering If you fail to hire me over needing iced coffee because my internal thermostat is stuck on high,best believe that may be the last interview you ever hold. You may wish you had invited a honey badger into the room,it would be safer for you

Politicians should be careful what they wish for whilst not in Govt If campaign for release of a knifeweilding,ex kidnapper who rallies men to block infrastructure gives defence to all-legal precedent If they end up responsible for the infrastructure what will they do when defence quotes that?

Broken housing taxes mean Londoners are under-paying by £3.1 billion – with the rest of England over-paying in return ⤵️ buff.ly/okMiNLc

My brother in law works in Boots in Oxford. Twenty years ago he saw a small, shabbily dressed man in a large woolly hat looking shifty near the sunglasses. Presuming a shoplifter, he got the security guard to escort him out the store. It was Thom Yorke

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

The arts are for everyone..

When are they gonna make gynae instruments less pointy/ouchy? I for one have had enough of being made into a giant human popsicle.. We’ve flown to the moon but still shove a Bose soundbar up there to check a uterus is healthy. Get the feeling these may not have been designed by uterus owners.

This is like a parody of politics it really is. I apparently have claimed economic asylum in a city for over 20 years by that measure.Should have made me stay,put up with it. Send me back! Do I deserve preferential treatment for wanting to earn more in a city than the small town of my birth!!🤦‍♀️

“Danny Tommo“ arrested for criminal damage and reckless endangerment

This American Life this week has a story on kids using Spotify podcast comments (for NPR shows) as chatrooms to avoid age verification. Spotify should immediately be fined 6% of global turnover for the clear failure of safety-by-design.

Grief comes out in strange places, like the self-checkout Me, yelling at the machine: THAT'S GREAT, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY UNEXPECTED ITEMS MY LIFE HAS HAD

Truly upsetting to see this after spending the day fasting and avoiding social media for the most part Thoughts with Canadian Jews right now, we are with you 💙

Censoring medical research goes against the very mission of public health agencies and negatively impacts everyone’s health. See you in court.

Patient data is a national resource, like land or energy or mined materials. It shouldn't be handled by any private business, let alone one from another country This data belongs to the people

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

“Concern” is a term being used interchangeably for disorder - that breeds more disorder The lack of challenge against the attacks on the RNLI is puzzling An age of “feelings” based politics has overtaken fact. The fact is if you attack volunteers for a lawful charity, the public expect response

This is INCREDIBLE

In this messed up,scary world,always look for the helpers. The people of #Brantham& wider areas of Suffolk showed the whole UK what a caring, compassionate community can look like. Every man woman & child who looked for that little lad are the biggest heroes, despite the tragic end RIP little Noah

She was truly wonderful in every way

Find Noah!

Folks is this going on where you live? Restaurant/cafe closures, even ones you thought were super profitable,just gone? And is it down to Covid loans now becoming payable after 5 years? Must be a better solution- lost a fistful of restaurants in 2 weeks it seems (Spoons unaffected,naturellement)

🎉GOOD CLIMATE NEWS🎉 The cost of solar panels has fallen by *98%* since the year 2000. Lots and lots of solar being installed around the world.

who called it social media and not cryberspace

Is the risk of instant death statistically more likely due to climbing up a traffic light or a motion sensor… just a thought
