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.

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.

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

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

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?

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

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.
