I was wondering if you repost this dog. Her name is MELIA, only 3.5 years old and at the shelter 843 days. Shes looking for a quiet adult only home. Cat friendly. No dogs.

I really want social media to be just this kind of thing for ever more
My son and I were returning down a street where earlier in the day there had been scaffolding outside a house, and now there wasn’t. We joked maybe we’d slipped through a time portal and should ask someone what year it was. A women walking the other way called out, “1981”, and started laughing.
Please quote this with stories of your minor interactions with non-celebrities, e.g. “I once accidentally bumped into a man in the Wellingborough branch of Holland & Barrett”

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The Express directly associating a gay man they don't like with a notorious paedophile in a headline. That's not an accident.

It'd be a terrible shame if such an egregious smear backfired and increased support for the Greens!

I for one will definitely be ignoring pesky health professionals & turning instead to newspaper columnists who backed Brexit, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump & Liz Truss for all my expert health advice during this very serious flu outbreak.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.

…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

Two questions to put to anyone who plans to vote for Reform UK.

1) Which UK political party do you think racists vote for?
2) Which UK political party do you think Vladimir Putin likes best?

Note - the answer is the same for both questions. Good luck Zack.

The right try and distract us by constantly talking about immigration.

Cost of Living, the NHS, the climate crisis - let's keep them on the agenda.
