I'm a multitasker, gardener, bossy boots & think I know everything. I sing with @NewEghamSingers. Views are mine, happy to share. Apparently, I'm not as thin as I think I am. DMs are off, so please don't waste your time following me if that's your aim.

Hurricane Melissa has devastated communities across the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and beyond bringing flooding, storm surge and winds.

We've distributed relief items to families in the Dominican Republic and stand ready to assist further.

Also, there should be volume smoothing. So if you set your volume to 7, then it will always be at 7, even when the adverts come on.

Available with real or fake swearing!

The fake swearing is in the form of 'grawlix', which is a great word for something familiar, if you are unaware of it.

This is absolutely it. Advertising is aspirational. Most people aspire to live in a relaxed, open, mixed society. Advertisers research this methodically. This is why we see mixed families in adverts.

Sarah Pochin is basically wetting her pants because Britain disagrees with her.

Athena Kugblenu @athenakugblenu.bsky.social · 2d

tbh the fetishisation of 'othered' people is what drives our presence in the advertising; e.g. mixed families are associated with progress, modernity and 'cool', and are strategically placed to look on subconsciously, or even consciously, as aspirational. all this claptrap to sell frozen chips lol

A 2,000 year-old Roman mosaic glass bowl with a dazzling swirl of colours resembling a kaleidoscope of tiny flags!

V&A Museum 📷 by me

#Archaeology

My photo shows a Roman-era ribbed mosaic glass bowl standing on a glass shelf in a display case at the V&A Museum. The bowl is hemispherical with vertical ribs and an applied pedestal foot. The glass itself is composed of various combinations of red, white, blue, green and yellow stripes which resemble ribbons or tiny flags. Height 11.5 cm, width 15.5 cm. Other colourful glass pieces are visible in the background.

Forty years ago, James Bond stopped Max Zorin destroying Silicon Valley in "A View To A Kill". In hindsight, we should probably have heard him out.

What Labour should be saying (and all parties, days ago)...

Liberal Democrats @libdems.org.uk · 8d

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk has written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.
