THREAD.
My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

Ecuador just delivered a stunning WIN for the planet!
Voters kept the constitution that made it the first country to recognize nature’s rights - protections that have stopped mining, defended forests, and saved endangered species.
A clear stand that nature is worth defending.

In a nutshell: it’s rape-y.
I once wondered how one could delight in taking prizes and awards rather than receiving them. I’ve come to realize that for some the pleasure is not in freely given recognition, like what pleases most people, but in the power to take it. A sick pleasure no doubt enhanced by muting this congresswoman
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

PPE Medpro has been liquidated but because it has only £0.6m only £0.6m of the £148m debt will be repaid.
A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), placed against Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman (worth £500m+) would allow all the money to be recovered.
Why hasn't it happened?

Incredibly interesting - I love when someone is hyper-insightful about something they just know so well from sheer professionalism and expertise. And she’s very self-aware too. Seems I have a new crush on Kristen Stewart ♥️
Oh, it's just incredible and effortless how Kristen Stewart dismantles and diagnoses the pathology and ego of Brando (and... well, all the dudes in Hollywood) here. www.youtube.com/shorts/_h-iK... There's just so many parallels to tech in this. And I'm so glad she's solid in herself to just SAY it.

Mamdami is a legend. This is a brilliant idea.
The New York City Council will introduce a bill on Thursday to create a new agency that would deploy mental health teams to respond to 911 calls — advancing a key part of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s agenda.

I'll say it again: if any other ethnic or religious minority said "please don't use this particular term or chant, you might not have bad intentions but it is deeply racist and threatening to us", the reaction would be mortified apology.
And that's without a mass terror event four days ago

There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortable.
