Fortunately, I already figured out the plots of the next several Toy Story films
ΤΟΥ STORY The purpose of a toy is to bring happiness to a child ΤΟΥ STORY 2 Toys must accept that their child will someday outgrow them ΤΟΥ STORY 3 Toys can find new purpose with a new child ΤΟΥ STORY 4 Toys can abandon children, create their own purpose, and pursue relationships with other toys ΤΟΥ STORY 5 Toys can learn how to create new toys without the involvement of a child ΤΟΥ STORY 6 Toys construct a secret, self sustaining society parallel to human civilization ΤΟΥ STORY 7 The great human/toy wars begin THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER Cars 1-3

Oh look. There really are "no go areas" in England.

And they're marked by St George's flags

NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’
Black and Asian staff left feeling ‘deliberately intimidated’, according to chief executive of one NHS trust

The bumper says 'rugged working man'.

But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’.

Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.

Rachel Reeves says she wants “more financial breathing space” 💸
Instead of cutting vital services or raising taxes on households, here’s a smarter idea: tax aviation fuel
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
#ClimateAction #RachelReeves #TaxReform
Close-up of a person outdoors, holding a smartphone toward the camera. The phone screen displays text in a notes app that reads: "RACHEL REEVES PLANS TAX RISES AND SERVICE CUTS FOR "FINANCIAL BREATHING SPACE" MAYBE TRY TAXING AVIATION FUEL INSTEAD?". The person is wearing a leopard print jacket, and the background is a blurry outdoor scene with green grass, trees, and a pale blue sky with white clouds over what appears to be a coastline or body of water.

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...
[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweet… 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph… 12 [We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]

I keep being told spending cuts are easy. Honest proposals such as those recently outlined by Policy Exchange show they are not

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

The claim that "civil war is inevitable in the UK" is better understood as an expression of the author's desire to see blood spilt on British streets.

It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...

Well worth a read about what happened in Caerphilly. Also worth noting the risks that the author ran by simply reporting on Reform.
