Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

I was visiting a blind friend earlier today. She had received a couple of Christmas cards and asked me if I could read them out to her.
I opened each card in turn, described the image on the front and the printed greeting before the hand-written "to A from B & C xx". (1/2)

There’s a lot of darkness in the replies so I gotta jump in - it’s never too late in life to love, not just to love yourself but to find love. Thinking it is is a cruel trick mostly played on us by societal attitudes about aging and desirability. Happiness is always possible, here & in the future!

This is the lovely Jeremy Clarkson. He’s used his show ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ to vilify Badgers as responsible for the spread of bTB and has shot all the Badgers on his farm

He’d hate it if people ‘RT'd’ this and signed the petition to end the Badger cull..

Hunts like the Heythrop Hunt are causing chaos on roads, railways, and in neighborhoods. Loopholes in UK law let them get away with it! It's time to pass the Hunting of Mammals Bill and end this recklessness.

Fox hunting still exists, hiding behind the lie of "trail hunting." It's barbaric, illegal, and has no place in modern society. Foxes deserve protection, not persecution. End this cruel tradition for good! 🦊❌

Oooo - #uksnowmap has migrated to BlueSky :D
A quick reminder on how to contribute to uksnowmap.com ahead of any possible #uksnow tomorrow 👀

Post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode, and a snow rating x/10 and help draw a real-time map of where it is snowing in the UK.

Spent $$ on a "lock picking tool" from the USA as recommended by "expert" on YouTube to open combination lock with forgotten code.
Ended up opening it with bit of card cut from a used hospital parking ticket for 0$. D'oh!

It's baffling – sacrificing our landscapes, tarnishing the environment, all to optimise conditions for red grouse so people can blast them out of the sky for fun.

Parliament needs to punish him for this.
But but but.. isn’t this a UK politician engaging in election interference in the USA… something Farage hates👇🏼👇🏼🥴

Was in a large DIY superstore with friend the other day. They was looking for a specific item. Friendly employee spent AGES looking for this and eventually found on in the back store. I thanked and acknowledged employee's perseverance with the line "never give up, never surrender".

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Don O'Connor running in circles on the floor... I watched Cyd Charisse's scarf blowing in the wind. All those moments will be lost in time, like songs in rain...
