You can actually see the moment Ed Miliband thinks, what's the point burning through whatever political credibility I've got left energetically defending a man who's going to be gone in a matter of weeks.

'SWIMS' upside down is still 'SWIMS.'

Big changes have begun in UK employment law, with a new wave in April 2026, marking the most significant shift in workplace rights in over a decade. These changes are good news for employees.

Here’s an overview of what has already changed: ucu.lboro.ac.uk/big-changes-...

Two Mourning Doves at a bird feeder with a built-in camera. One dove is in profile, very close to the camera, and appears to be looking at it, and the other dove is further back, but also looks like it’s staring straight into the lens.

These two Mourning Doves at my feeder cam look like they just rang my doorbell because Tony Soprano sent them to collect a debt I owe.

Having shown my children Robot Wars, we’re now watching Scrapheap Challenge. Where are the modern day STEM TV show equivalents?

Eg

NUMBER CRUNCHING 3.3% Pay rise for nurses in the next financial year, described as 'insulting' by unions 5% Inflation-busting pay rise for MPs in the next financial year

This. Totally this. Pay our doctors and nurses (and academics, academic related, technicians etc) fairly.

amazing

I would argue that while you didn't get injured physically, the fact you slipped on it caused harm and so the slippy when used by Jon non-slip mat deserves its place upon the list.

Hey warhammer folkx, I'm looking to raise some extra money for LVLUP and have some stuff to sell, if you'd be interested in any of these please DM to discuss (sorry but UK only)

As with complex numbers, the agreement between the US and Iran can be divided into its real and imaginary parts.

Ok I'm bored and want to procrastinate work so let's do a thread instead. Wanna hear a story?

Alright then, story it is. So gather around, children, because now we're going to talk about the most important science book you've probably never heard of.

Ready? Off we go, then.

Joanna and Ben’s fundraiser for Epilepsy Action Help Joanna Pellereau raise money to support Epilepsy Action

Two of my friends are running a half marathon at the weekend to raise money for Epilepsy Action. It would be wonderful if they could hit their fundraising target. If you can spare a couple of quid I think it's an excellent place to spend it. Thank you! www.justgiving.com/page/joanna-...

Know what you mean. Sending positive thoughts.

Yep. Mad.

What in living hell is this?

I'm here.

Careful, feels like you're closing in on Trigger's Trolley here 😉

[Scene is a suburban UK street, at night. A voice is coming from a semi-detached house.] VOICE: So let me get this straight: You're a large, magic bunny... [Cut to interior scene. We see a close-crop of the EASTER BUNNY, standing in the darkened living room of the house. The room is all drawn in atmospheric purples and blues, and a quadrant of light is cast on the wall from a streetlight outside the window.] [We are still looking at the bunny. He is holding a boxed Easter egg. We noiw see that the voice speaking is not him but is instead coming from a character outside of frame]. Who's broken into this house at 1am to deposit shop-bought chocolate eggs... EASTER BUNNY [looking awkward]: Yes. VOICE: So people can remember...Jesus.? EASTER BUNNY: Yes. [Pause] Well I mean it sounds weird when you say it like that. It is weird. EASTER BUNNY: Not as weird as you! [Pull wider shot. We now see that the Voice is that of a large HAMSTER, who is holding a digital clock]. EASTER BUNNY: What even is the 'BST Hamster' anyway? BST HAMSTER: *sigh* I'm a large, magic hamster who breaks into people's houses at night and changes their clocks so they feel confused. [Pause. They stand in silence, in the dark, thinking]. [Close up of the Bunny's face. he is still thinking in silence. He looks existentially nauseous]. EASTER BUNNY: Do you ever feel your life makes no sense? [Close up of the BST Hamster. He looks the same - silent, horrified]. BST HAMSTER: Yeah. [They stand in the silent living, dark room, in depressed silence.] [Ends]

Joanna and Ben’s fundraiser for Epilepsy Action Help Joanna Pellereau raise money to support Epilepsy Action

Two of my friends, Jo and Ben, are running a half marathon to raise money for Epilepsy Action because their youngest has epilepsy. If you can, chuck a few quid their way please, they're both bonkers in my opinion but it's an excellent cause. www.justgiving.com/page/joanna-...

Almost as good as a damp school paper towel.

Good day to you. I'm looking for short or very short stories or poems about justice or injustice. Any recommendations?

The Lottery, Barn Burning, The Ones Who Walk Away, Still I Rise, lots of Langston Hughes. What else?

You deserve it. Hope it goes (went now?) well.
