It’s true. It could be argued this isn’t news in the same way “When a dog bites a man that is not news, but when a man bites a dog that is news.”, I still think it’s in the public interest to report.

Anyway, I’ve joined the Greens. I like what @boldpolitics.bsky.social is doing!

A picture of physicist Brian Cox against a starry backdrop, speaking into a microphone, his right hand raised with thumb and forefinger together as he emphasised a point. In a white, bold, Helvetica font is written “Every carbon atom in every liver, fava bean and nice chianti on the planet was produced in the heart of a dying star.”

I don’t think Israel see it as a failure. Perhaps they do, as they prefer to kill them quicker? Doubt it, they seem to want the cruelty

Yes, the electorate may do this, but they did also choose 14 years of Tory rule
A screenshot of this quote from the article “But I struggle to believe that a serious party can operate as a Farage fan club. Eventually, the electorate asks tougher questions: about policy, about delivery, about credibility, that Farage simply cannot answer alone.”

Reminded of this by @mattbors.bsky.social
A four panel comic: 1st panel: a women looks at her phone and says “My gawd these Trump people are racist”, to which a man in a red MAGA cap says “That attitude is what’s pushing me to be racist” 2nd panel: the woman says “Say what?”, to which the man says “Might as well! You say I’m a nazi so, fine, I’ll be a nazi if that makes you happy” 3rd panel: The woman says “it… doesn’t” to which the man, now holding a nazi ss jacket says “I bought this Waffen SS uniform for halloween. You’ll cry ‘offensive’ so maybe I’ll just wear it every day” 4th panel: The man is now standing up, his right hand is using clippers to shave his head, he says “I just hate to do this” and his left arm is having a swastika tattooed on it by a burly looking man with many alt right tattoos, another speech bubble has the man say “I feel bullied, really”

But…
The “Podium Meme” putting Reform’s council seats in perspective- they have won many sits in this election, but still have the fewest councillors of any political party

This won’t work. You won’t be able out do Reform, you’ll make it look like it’s a legitimate issue, and then you will lose voters. Given you’re in power, why not do things like ending austerity, improving public services and stuff like that?

Oh yeah, this “Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.” Once a day is bit unrealistic for, but still, book #5 m
The book cover for “Rendezvous with Rama” by Arthur C Clarke. The author’s name is at the top in silver letters and below that in white the title. In the background is a vast cylinder in space, we are looking at it from an angle, with one end visible and the side stretching back in the picture. The cyclinder is lit from behind and there is a “lens flare” from the Sun which is just to the left of the end of the cylinder. In the foreground, in front of the cylinder is the spacecraft sent to investigate. It is gold, and we can see its engines at the back, made of small cylinders two at the top (the longest) stacked on top of three more cylinders which are shorter, themseves atop two more cylinders which are shorter again. These engines are on top of a roughly semicircular shaped part of the ship, the curved part faces the engines, the straight part towards the front of the craft. From the middle of the straight part a cockpit proptrudes

When you were out partying, I studied the blade.

While you had premarital sex I got rich from my dad’s emeralds.

Whilst you wasted your days in the gym I got into conspiracy theories.

And now the ad revenue’s on fire you have the audacity to think I can’t debase myself further?

LOLZ! Coming soon to GBeebies:

Balde Runner: ULEZ - Fozza Lox investigates whether it’s ok to break the law to keep climate change on track, with his witty rhetorical style with all the transphobia and racism you would expect.
A screen shot of a tweet from Charlotte Gill which reads “Chris Packham has been given a Channel 4 show to explore whether it's justified to break the law - to stop climate change. Do you think there's any chance in hell C4 would commission one about ULEZ blade runners? There'll probably be a doc on them, but they'll be called Far Right” At the time the screen shot was taken it had received 95 replies; 111 retweets; 741 likes and had been views 21.9k times
