Just received a thrilled and thrilling message from @realbengilbert.bsky.social to inform me there are still discount Easter eggs at Sainsbury's. Hope everyone's day has a similar little piece of all-caps delight in it.

Like I KNOW I live in the city furthest from the sea but I FEEL it on days like this.
This show made you work for it with season 7 π
But it was so worth it
Finally finished watching House with @realbengilbert.bsky.social (his first time all the way through) and OH BOY that ending is one of the best in television, up there with Angel and Ashes to Ashes for having an extremely wobbly run up but managing to stick the landing
Stand up for your trans friends

Literally within the past year, Trump has proposed a Citizenship Gold Card to expedite citizenship for rich foreign nationals. He also chops and changes tariffs on his own whims, based on who doesn't let him play with whatever toys he wants.
Loser shit.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Can't help but notice that as soon as energy costs started to come down, Trump decided to start another war
(I also know there are more obvious reasons why Trump has done this)
Wars are very convenient for distracting from crimes and keeping profits up
People occasionally mention green energy as not being able to maintain consistent energy like fossil fuels
Sorry, they can if you actually invest and pick the most suitable ones for where you are
Can solar fix the UK's problems alone? Of course not! Tidal? Probably, we're a fuckin island
"Oh no there's now a trade deficit with Greenland because the country with universal health care wouldn't pay me for the thinly disguised warship I sent and said was a hospital"
Ok there is not a hospital ship going to Greenland. It ain't happening.
But if it did, you can bet toddler in chief would send a bill afterwards.
Except it's not, I know, people would complain.
It's ok to just say the demand is high and they had to make arbitrary decisions π
In a job hunt, sometimes it's totally cool to get the generic "candidates whose skills and experience match the requirements for this post more closely than your own" rejection.
And sometimes it sucks because you know you ticked every box and did a bangin application.
Ah, today I found out that Elon Musk appears in the Epstein Files, no just complicit, but BEGGING to go to the island.
I also found out that in France, his twitter offices have been raided and he's been summoned for an interview on 20 April.
The more you know π

In case you missed it, Jeff Bezos funded a documentary, directed by Brett Ratner of all people, about Melania Trump.
They spent $35m on marketing alone, just shy of the film's budget.
The UK premiere sold 1 ticket.
The second screening sold 2 tickets.
Suella Braverman MP has joined the Reform party, despite briefings from the party last summer to the Daily Mail, GB News and others that it would refuse her if she wanted to join.
What an absolute joke to have Suella Braverman claiming that the country is broken when she was literally in government and helped to break it
Reform were never going to reform anything and every second hand Tory they take in should confirm that all the more
I can only assume one of two things are true about current Labour leadership:
1) They actually want the far right to get a bigger foothold in the UK
Or
2) They are profoundly stupid
Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power
Omg a political ad that got me emotional
A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."
More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"
A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."
In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.
I have translated some of the highlights
Rental Family is a perfect film. It is the only film I have seen that came out in recent years that I would say that about.
Go see it pls, it's magic
Why is BBC News determined to not show demonstrable evidence that Trump is a baby with a tantrum?
He has literally attributed the Greenland nonsense (some of it anyway, he does also like money for him and his friends) to NOT GETTING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.
