Same thing happening here in the UK: rich people telling poor angry people that simple solutions work. That the world can be managed by short platitudes spouted by the man at the pub.

Some posts on bsky were calling him another fetterman. Please research him, I really hope he's not that type of person.

I'd like to see chats for other republican groups. I bet there's a lot of frantic deletions happening right now.

Do you have a specific recipe or is that a family secret? (Srsly, my wife's grandmother was hugely protective of her recipes)

I ditched Instagram and Facebook a year ago. I just couldn't continue to use meta/Zuckerberg products.

I'm glad there's a few people who don't just go along with the large social media corpos

Henry's Hollywood profile picture.

A dog, viewed from his front left, looking up and off to the right. He looks almost wistful.

You don’t understand the dexterity of dogs until you’ve seen one remove micro-fragments of a codeine tablet from a mushed up piece of bread.

The number of homicides in London in the first nine months of 2025 was lower than in any year since monthly records began in 2003.

That is thanks to the intelligence-led enforcement, vital prevention work led by my VRU & MOPAC's pioneering efforts to tackle reoffending.

Forced to share pins, left open to fraud!

1 in 5 with mental health conditions risk financial abuse by sharing pins as banks don't offer carers cards, 3rd party notifications or controls. We want to change that. Full info www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/10...

Holy shit this is terrifying.

If the climate catastrophe isn't our Great Filter, then maybe bacteria are.

But let's cut funding for research, eh?

What the actual fuck? Letitia James needs way more support than Jimmy Kimmel.

He got support because people could do it by cancelling Disney+ via phone or computer. It was easy to show solidarity.

But of course people push back if any effort is involved, gah that pisses me off.

Had a positive appointment with my doctor. She's increasing my pain meds until I can see the pain clinic next year. And referring me for therapy. I'm so grateful to her and the social worker!
