On a cheery pink background, the line: "this Purim I'm going to get so drunk that I can't tell the right-wing antisemites from the left-wing antisemites".
a (Jewish) friend just sent this to me and it has made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Happy Purim everyone!
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
Is Charles Kushner receiving a US government salary as he strolls philosophically about Paris, taking in the sights, barred from meeting officials, the last of the great flâneurs

Ooooh! Of course I remember Par from the WLP days. May his memory be a blessing as we say.
Interesting!! Not sure about the regional question but I tried with a french word and didn’t get anything.
I feel like this exact research keeps coming up every 5-10 years with always the same disclaimer “we can’t be sure if it has anything to do with coffee/tea drinking or other factors” which is a pretty big arse caveat.
In other words “we are making a claim but it could be total bollocks.”
I have discovered the existence of Al Carns on Bluesky just now. Googling him and @omrilh.bsky.social says: “Are you sure it’s AL Carns and not AI Carns? Cause he looks like an AI generated MP created to run for leadership. I am sure even his mum doesn’t think he’s real.”
Time we stripped the Prince of Darkness of his royal title. He should simply be Peter Mandelson-Darkness from now on.
More like Horny and Friern Barnet.
I am a YIMBY but that is actually a good NIMBY side effect, isn’t it? Sure, we need houses more than we need sex clubs but we also need to make sure there are spaces for “niche social clubs” to ensure the vibrancy and social fabric of cities?
This made my morning. You’re welcome.
(And thank you @omrilh.bsky.social)
So now that all the big tories have defected to Reform, will Reform still be able to sell itself as an alternative? The no non-sense guys who say it like it is? Like you’re now the Tory party with a new name. I can see how a few defections is good but surely at this point it’s not good anymore?
No shit.
I was the single military officer sent by the U.K. to defend Greenland against a US invasion. 😏
Never use this account for professional stuff but maybe now is the time to start. I wrote about the madness going on in the other place with Grok turned into a tool of mass scale harassment against women and the many companies (and Qatari government) happily funding it blog.chayn.co/grok-we-thin...
The Guardian… offered a column to the Iranian regime?!? 🥴
Am I alone in finding this completely deranged?!

Bon sang ne saurait mentir. Mais pour le coup plutôt mauvais le sang.
Not letting the sad events of the past week getting in the way of my traditional Hanukkah Bluesky post. And since I love celebrating Hannukah in the most unlikely places…Tonight in Garmisch Partenkirchen in front of the hotel mini-golf.
I know there are media ethics rules around it (yes i went to journalism school!) but this is just not working right now.
Meanwhile Israeli media is full on talking about it as an antisemitic attack and releasing names of victims and their religious backgrounds. 2/2
I wonder if the media realises how uncomfortable it is to watch the coverage of Bondi beach attack for Jews right now. Because the police hasn’t confirmed yet it’s an antisemitic attack Guardian/BBC treating it like any attack not at all mentioning antisemitic element of it. 1/2
Very impressive! And what a shock. Was doing my usual little Thursday quiz and suddenly… there she is in all her fluffy glory.
@katebevan.com OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn I knew it was a bad idea to sign up last week when there was no special offer, just me stuck in bed with a virus and getting upset about not being able to read the footnotes.
Spoiler alert: I think he’s doing just fine with just the wise words of your lesbian next door.
Read those two headlines and assumed that Axe the Tax was the name of a horse.
Am I the only one out there spending my Wednesday evening aimlessly with a Nick Mohammed-shaped hole in my life?
To be fair I don’t think many cats actually love being picked up even when they have had very traditional “upbringings.” I’d say most tolerate it, some will never allow it but can be perfectly cuddly and sociable otherwise.
Make sure you put little pads under the legs of your chairs and table! You don’t that what gorgeous shiny floor to get ugly scratches.
