I don't have an 'unhinged' opinion about Doctor Who, I don't know enough about it, but I like that all the people I know who love it, and may disagree on aspects of it, can clearly still laugh about it at some level. And that's important.

Just tried to go to a cafe, the doors were open so we went in. They said, Sorry, we don’t open until 10, can you wait outside please? I checked the time, it was 9.59.

That level of unwelcoming pettiness is not a place I want to spend any time.

Looking at this photo, I initially wondered what the very small people thought of the very big trees, before realising I'm chronically exhausted.

Came to work as a scandi murder detective

A woman with longish reddish brown hair standing like a fool in a toilet cubicle in front of a mirror, wearing blue jeans and a knitted woollen men's jumper like she's in Deadwind or something. If anyone gets murdered I will have angst about it and turn my personal life upside down to solve it.

Dreamed last night that Skrillex, an artist I have never listened to and am unsure if he still does stuff, released a CBD drink called Skrelax. “The ultimate in skrelaxation”. Ok

Yes! And Fran, who I was so sad to hear died last week. Send him my love, and tell him how much his Dad helped me when I was at my most frightened. It really made a difference during a dark time. X

Juliet Brando @sliderulesyou.bsky.social · 13h

It was Tony Caunter, aka Roy off EastEnders, the kindest, loveliest guy, who passed away yesterday. Helping him while Dad was so ill - and I was falling apart - helped me more than he'll ever know. x

Juliet Brando @sliderulesyou.bsky.social · Apr 13

Things are still tough at the hospital. Dad's conscious and talking, but his readings are wobbly. Instead of the one magpie, I saw three together today, and a gull eating a flat pigeon in the carpark. The guy who used to be in a big soap opera is lovely. I helped him lift and move things today...

The Green Party passed 110,000 members, after putting on 5,000 in 24 hours. Plus c. 8,000 @scottishgreens.org (probably now up a bit too) and 500ish @greenpartyni.org members (minus some duplicates) = c. 118,000. The Daily Mail report that Tory membership is in fact now “below 120,000”.

It’s proof that time machines will never be real, because if they were Orwell would have come to our time and kicked the shit out of him.

Real men dream of receiving Nigel Farage’s meaty plugs within the confines of a public lavatory.

Juliet Brando @sliderulesyou.bsky.social · 1d

I now doubt anyone's screenshot, and don't have the energy to fact check at 4am, but be sure that Farage will put meaty plugs in all toilets from now on.

Supposed twitter post: Nigel Farage: the national trust has put vegan tampons in men's toilets. God help us.

The whole thing seems a bit mad. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, beamed into a racist rally in an Orwell t-shirt.

That Orwell.

The Left-Wing Socialist who wrote 1984 about propaganda and the narrative flipping upside down. I'd say "it's meta" but that's trademarked by another rich guy.

It's obvious, like so many other things, but journalism has changed too. Pay and access to power is different now.
