No TCP?
Is it just unfashionable, or have they found something deadly in it? It used to be used all the time, for practically everything

Good morning,
Bonjour,
Goedemorgen!

22nd April 2026

Hump-🐪-day!

#OriginalRollCall

How lovely!
🤞for no late frosts or gales

Good luck with the doc
🤞for something positive

Have you dreamt that before?
I’m sure I remember someone posting something similar

I hope Smudge puts in an appearance today

That’s so good to hear
The housing situation for the generations following is so awful.
I’m hoping upcoming changes wrt landlords’ rights & responsibilities might get a few more properties back on the market but 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely every time … 🙄

Good one!
Did you know she and Cat Stevens were an item for a while? His autobiography is full of names from the past

What did you decide about the piano?

That figures
I’ll try again tomorrow 🦆

But Stayin’ Alive is pretty important!

AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.

Imagine if our media and breaking news chasing content creators cared as much about the inflation of temperatures and our planet being in peril as they are of small shifts in an economic system that’s been trashed by the billionaire class who are responsible for the aforementioned climate change 🤷

🎶 Gordon brown texture, like sun
Lays me down, with my mind, he runs
Throughout the night, no need to fight
Never a frown with gordon brown 🎶

The Civil Service Code, Sir Oliver “Olly” Robbins told Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, is one of two documents he has committed to memory “along with the Book of Common Prayer”. Both works urge readers to bend themselves to the will of a higher power known for expressing its wishes obliquely. Only one of them suggests that the authority in question is the same yesterday, today and forever. Robbins was giving evidence on Tuesday because he’d fallen victim to a more worldly power. This time last week he was running the Foreign Office, and a year ago he gave the prime minister what he wanted by clearing Peter Mandelson to become US ambassador. We now learn that this wasn’t what the prime minister wanted at all, and on Thursday evening, Robbins was cast into the outer darkness, where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. He is not, it’s fair to say, taking this very well.

Fingers crossed for you wrt to the buyer.

It feels extra vibrant but maybe because we’ve been waiting for it so long

I’m loving the full-on bright greenness of spring-central. Newness, & promises of good things to come, all around🤞
The ducklings are growing - we see two families regularly. Vid won’t load 😡

Embark Me, My Sweet Embarkable You 🎶
🙄 Apologies. I took the word embarkable and went all Ella Fitzgerald with it
I’ve got Embraceable You as an earworm now, which isn’t bad as earworms go

It all sounds very positive A-W. So different from this time last year

Never ever forget this tweet

Palantir in the NHS is linked to Mandelson

Mandelson is linked to Wes Streeting

Wes Streeting is defending Palantir’s involvement in the #NHS

Nothing to see or everything to see

Palantir must be removed from the NHS

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Well let's see how this strategy of telling "white liberals" to "fuck right off" works out in the local elections

Nothing will convince me that Mahmood isn't a Reform plant at this stage. This isn't about how she looks, race, religion or anything else. It is that she is implementing abhorrently racist and xenophobic policies while telling those who point out that they are such to fuck off. Hardly a winning plan

Mel old boy you seem to forget Osborne and his austerity, Truss with her destruction of the economy and Thatcher’s selling off of U.K. industry and infrastructure.

Peace

"Asked why New Zealand does not suffer from the rage of older white men like in other western Anglo countries, PM Jacinda Adern replied, 'Because we've never allowed Rupert Murdoch to set up a media outlet here The guy has wreaked havoc on civil society in (the) US," a tweet re-shared on

She's not wrong!
