Keir Starmer not doing a lot to dampen down conspiracy theories that he allowed Jimmy Savile to get off.
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

I think Katelyn missed the mark by not considering people's feelings on baked goods, therefore I've lost all confidence in her thoughts on anything.
Seriously though, people do need to be mindful of a limited amount of text space. If someone consistently pointedly omits that's another matter.

It's 2026, it's time to put away the snarky replies to someone writing about one thing implying the writer doesn't care about another related thing.

These proxy wars America waged were purposely not connected via a land bridge.
Venezuela already had problems that will be blamed on the American occupation.
I feel for the people of both countries as I think this is going to be a hard learning curve.

Force is fast. Legitimacy is slow. But legitimacy is the only currency that buys durable peace & stability.
If Washington governs by force in Venezuela, it will repeat the failures of Afghanistan, Iraq, & Libya: Power can topple regimes, but it cannot create political authority.
No pay wall.

Can the US ‘run’ Venezuela? Military force can topple a dictator, but it cannot create political authority or legitimacy

At my old place, I had a bit of an arsehole of a neighbour, a horrible transphobe in fact, made life a little difficult.
When I left I got my own back, with a suction cup dildo superglued to his car.
I often wonder how long he was there trying to “pull it off”

It is on countries to be part of the green revolution & on individuals to not exacerbate it.
Billionaires do the most damage we need to tax them into the average rich person bracket.
Our planet can't handle Venezuela's 1,374 years of oil.

I keep seeing outcry over what Trump did. He's done the same thing American Presidents always do he's just an idiot who said why.
No country should be allowed to do this.

Why is it a surprise that something trained in a subject then recreates it.

As 2025 draws to a close, we seek inspiration from the protests around the country in response to the Supreme Court ruling on 16 April 2025 which dealt a blow to the rights & dignity of trans people.
Thousands upon thousands of people gathered to say: we'll always stand with trans people.

This commission was produced as a Christmas gift, and it's a depiction of the wetland under restoration at Hinksey Heights Nature Reserve, near Oxford (UK); a place I know well and love. Great to be working with #pencil again! 🤗✏️👌🏻.
