You can't tell me that Port Salut has an inedible rind. Not in this day and age. Sure, at one time it was covered in a weird, waxy netting, but not any more: all that remains is an annatto-stained memory of its former swaddling.

I don't consider myself a prude, but I wouldn't want to rely on a quick rinse in a sleeper train sink, at least not outside of an emergency, and certainly not multiple times. And if I was forced to, it would surely taint the memory of the time I got to travel the world.

This is frankly beyond belief. RFK is as insane as Trump. Incredible that anyone would let them run a bath, let alone a country.

Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.

That would put a different slant on it. Stealing people's pets and throwing them into the sea is the wokeness endgame we never saw coming.

TBF, there's nothing worse than "rushed" traffic planning. Everyone would be 100% behind this if only it took forever to decide on it.

I don't understand Trending on Bluesky. 'The Pitt' is trending, which seems unlikely when it's Friday morning in the UK, and still only 7am in New York. Is nothing else happening?

Top Gun is also trending, but when you click that, not a single post says "Top Gun", yet every one includes #thepitt

I agree with this, but it might not take much thought. A basic viewpoint of "I'm annoyed with everything that other people like which isn't me," could elicit the same behaviour. He only has to display his vindictiveness, he has an army of sycophants who can do the complicated part.

If it was a protected, white clawed crayfish, I'm pretty damn sure it shouldn't be in a restaurant tank.

If it was a signal crayfish, it's an invasive species.

Bring Thames Water into Public Ownership NOW 😑 Thames Water wants to be allowed to dump sewage and not pay a PENNY. Right now, they're trying to force a deal so they can dodge fines until 2030, while customers foot the bill. This isn’t right. Jo...

Hi there, I’ve just signed the petition below calling for Thames Water to be taken into public ownership. Will you add your name too and then share it far and wide?

A poll on a Daily Mail article about Starmer and the EU asks: "Sould Britain rejoin the European Union?" Gratifyingly, 76% of the votes say yes.

Fucking hell. Is he the moron, or is he the genius for knowing that the voters are big enough morons to swallow this?

I guess military bosses care more about their careers than they do about either ethics or the constitution.

Mad thing is, I know Iranians over here who hate the regime so much that they welcome this. "No price is too high to get rid of them," I was told last week. And I understand their anger. But I don't think they comprehend the Faustian nature of a pact with Trump.

A crab is performing stand-up at the β€œTepid Water Comedy Club,” planning to roast audience members about their jobs. In panel one, the crab psyches itself up: β€œThis time I can’t fail β€” I’ll ask them what they do for a living, make fun of them and get millions of TikTok views.” In panel two, the crab asks a audience member what they do, and they reply β€œI volunteer at a food bank.” In panel three, the flustered crab tries another audience member, who says β€œI’m a teacher’s assistant at a special needs school.” In the final panel, the crab explodes in frustration β€” β€œAh, for f*ck sake!” β€” as yet another audience member cheerfully announces β€œI’m an oncologist.” Every person the crab tries to roast turns out to have an unroastable, noble job.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

π‘Ίπ’–π’“π’†π’π’š this has to be against every possible rule of engagement. Scattering mines in a village? WTF? You'd think they'd want to be more careful, given they've already blown up an entire school.

These 'big' men, breaking every law and moral code to bolster tiny egos and sate petty grievances. Then they expect everyone else to pick up the tab.

If they're so big, why don't they pay for the clean-up, the doctors, the rebuild? Let 'em rot, take their money and use it to put right the damage.

Powerful stuff. I've a lot of time for Mothin, who has to navigate more attacks, and be held to a higher standard than most. He makes a fantastic achar, too.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

An excellent analysis:

Hang on though - isn't the reason you put up with all those kids being shot so that you can bear arms to protect the Constitution? So presumably that's about to happen...
