This is Skye. She refuses to let her human leave for college. Willing to do anything to get him to change his mind about this whole "education" thing. 13/10 (IG: skye.redgoldenretriever)
No one: French Royalty in the 18th century: A photo of two cats but one looks away so only its body can be seen, the other sits in a basket so only its head can be seen
The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey.
The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.
No, it was closed all day for rehearsals. #TheArchers
This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....
This is pretty striking and makes me wonder exactly what Labour have been up to in making policy seemingly in response to / fear of the former rather than the middle group.
A scarecrow who has got drunk on extra strength lager and, rather embarrassingly, is now reliving his glory days in the Royal Air Force.
THREAD. A collection of photographs of the best scarecrows I have met on walks.

Good morning wonderful followers! Down below is Kris...Kris is my Stupidity Saturday post......
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”
Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
New immigration rules demand people speak English to A level standard. There's no oral element to A Level English exams (nor GCSE), so how is this to be tested, & by whom?
I teach English in state secondary school. Most of my colleagues aren't A Level standard, so I doubt border guards will be...
Google did another shitty thing. You now have to go opt out in Gmail to avoid having their AI train on your stuff.

Sometimes I forget that normies don’t understand the “possible permanent decline” part. Yes, getting sick after basic tasks is terrible enough. But we want to LIVE. If we could assuredly recover we’d do ALL THE THINGS, get sick, recover & repeat. That alone would be life-changing. #MECFS #LongCovid
Rebecca Heineman, video game designer, programmer and co-founder of Interplay and Logicware (also founded other game studios), has passed away.
Rest in peace.
Today @thesicktimes.org: big story from @spichaksimon.bsky.social examining exercise trials for Long COVID. His analysis found that, among LC exercise trials registered on clinicaltrials.gov, less than 20% even *mention* PEM in their trial registration. thesicktimes.org/2025/11/21/l...

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.
I was going to be Jeffrey - Mum was sure she was having a boy! #TheArchers
Elon Musk can't get humans to love him so he made a robot to love him instead and now all the humans are making fun of the robot. This is the smartest man in the world, a once-in-a-generation genius and clear member of the natural aristocracy
And I bet it's warmer, too 😉
Hope the recovery is smooth and uneventful ❤️
Is it milk?
A handy guide to measuring like a Brit.
“If I lost everything I would just work harder and take any job to earn it all back”.
Cool story. Try doing that if you’re disabled and bedbound.
You know what often causes people to “lose everything”. Sudden catastrophic health issues.
You can’t “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” when sick.
Good call!! 🥰🥰
The next pandemic is highly likely to be airborne. We need clarity on whether the government is prepared.
Are medical supplies up to date? And what action is being taken on ventilation and air filtration to keep public spaces safe?
