On your current topic @mrjamesob.bsky.social you perhaps won't be surprised to read this little morsel from the Guardian! 😬😬

As a cat slave, I know very well just demanding a hungry cat can be first thing in the morning. Sadly, attempts to set the cat to a later pestering time has come to nought (and my meowstress is 18 years old and even more demanding than ever!) 😹😹😹

I care @mrjamesob.bsky.social because it's far past time that rich and disgusting men face the law over their disgusting behaviour, and not hiding behind their endless sums of money that they pay to victims with a non-disclosure attached.

It's time we listened to SA victims, both male and female!

Yeah, because a eating a pie that was sold in a tin is so obviously haute cuisine, right? 🤪

Jess clearly doesn't know that most of the curries, along with Chinese/Thai dishes served in the UK, have been Anglicised, all so English taste buds could cope. You'd never find the same in those countries!

This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. My late husband did the Life in the UK test, and I read the book and consequently learned stuff I'd never learned in school (in 🇿🇦), which very much taught English history as part of their history curriculum, the partition of Ireland being one such example.

Too bloody right! 😆

One swallow doesn't make a summer.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee aren't going to ignore the authoritarianism going on in the US, the casual bombing of Venezuelan boats thousands of miles from US shores, the ICE shenanigans, and think "Yup, he's our guy, he's definitely going to win it." 🤪🙄

No, that's a Labour demand. 😬

Hhmmm, so how does one achieve literacy without learning the language, aka, "language lessons"? As a foreigner, I'm always bemused by the insistence us 'forrin-types" need to have perfect literacy skills, while the local population can poorly speak/ write their way through life and judge us badly. 🙄

Would love to know what type of dog you'd label ... as - they are my favourite, and I probably over-use them or, more likely, misuse them. 😬

Same with the 'Life in the UK' test that you have to take if you want to become a citizen... there are many Brits who'd fail it. But never mind, eh? I put my son through the UK education system in the late 90s, early 00s, and was quite shocked at the opt-out options at A-Level, especially English!

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.

It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.

Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.

Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

Sorry, terrible English! That "is" shouldn't be there. 🫣

Segregation was alive and well in the 80s. He is only fucked off to avoid national conscription, which ended in '94, like a lot of rich white boys. 🙄

Oh, same! 😂😂 I don't wear makeup in general, so it's an easy out for me (also just watched "Buy Now" on Netflix, so mindful not to buy just to see it sit on a shelf/in a drawer never being used!). 😆😂

Am I her biggest fan now? Nope, but I have massive respect. Okay, so she leap-frogged over many, by having 💷💷💷 and connections, but what I do know about the fashion and beauty industries are that they can be very cruel, especially their critics, and she seems to have cracked both. Good for her! 👏🏻👏🏻

Norwegian Frankfurter @scanditina.bsky.social · 9d

I have a confession to make...

Back in the Noughties, I wasn't this woman's biggest fan, probably because I believed the crap that was being printed in the media every day. However, having since learned just how shitty the UK press can be and seeing other media talk about her, I've warmed to her...

So, the price for a Boeing 747-8 and a multi-billion desert golf course contract appears to be an airforce base in Idaho! Sounds like Qatar have scored a HUGE hole-in-one there! ⛳️

But I'm very curious - it's a long, L-O-N-G way from the UAE to USA, though - what on earth is that all about, eh? 🤔

Definitely! 🤗

Yeah, there is chatter up there that this could happen, despite the committee being apolitical. 😬🫣
