How have ladybirds survived so long? They can't fly so well and don't know where they're going. One landed in my ear. I am not green, nor home to aphids. Another one has just crashed into my glasses and dropped to the floor. To what avail?

Proposal for bringing back integrity to political discourse: forced lobotomies for politicians and press who cling to probably false positions. Still to decide whether the operations should be televised.

Today's episode was brought to you by the letter S and the number 2. What words can we think of that start with S? I'll start: Schadenfreude

@sfawcs.bsky.social @frmo.bsky.social My feed has presented me with a new game: try to figure out the chain between the two tweets. I have yet to succeed 👏
Two tweets separated by a Tardis-like "View full thread", covering a multiverse of possibilities.

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie. Four4teen. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman have to find a serial killer who has gone through sloth, greed, envy, etc. and has moved on to people listening to music without headphones and taking calls on speaker in quiet carriages. Nobody knows when it'll end.

The creativity invested in calling Elon Musk various funny, whilst derogatory, names is great to see, all over the place. However, I think Mark has won. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Have you seen the film Operation Mincemeat? This is its antithesis.

People say that, given time travel, they'd go back to kill Hitler. There were two alleged attempts on Trump's life. If there's a third, can someone ask the guy what next week's Lotto numbers are?

So, we're at the point where a remake of Red Dawn would depict the Wolverines welcoming the invading Russian army, felating them at the drop of a bearskin hat, and half the US populace would think it a great movie, celebrating their freedoms.

By the calmness in his tweets, you can tell this guy is NOT a sci-fi buff.

There're some sick people out there, tweeting on the Women's Ashes, using the hashtag #WAshes.

Fear and loathing in Last Christmas: We were somewhere around Barstow, about to start dessert, when the sprouts began to take effect.

Where we're going, we don't need roads! Looks like there was a farmer's protest on Holkham beach. Missed it, though.
Two long, straight tractor tyre trucks on the beach, disappearing into the distance.

The problem with optical illusions is that they don't translate well into photos. I swear this moon looked massive when floating over this field.

In London tonight and came across a hundred or so rollerblading Santas. Does anyone know why (apart from the fun factor)?
Hundred or more people all dressed in Santa outfits, rollerblading through the West End of London.

As a child, with only three TV stations to choose from, I was horrified when, during school holidays, one of them was dedicated to cricket. Therefore, I've developed an intense dislike of the sport. With that said, does anyone know how to filter out cricket related posts, on here?

Seeing this picture made me come to a profound realisation. If I could live my life again, I wouldn't walk 2 hrs, to get to school, after the 1987 hurricane. Because no other fecker did and I had to go home again.

Need advice on employment law. A teacher's been told that redundancies are no longer an option. If staff cuts are to be made, they will be done by forcing people to reapply for their jobs. With falling rolls, this will be inevitable. Is this legal?

Coming on here, from Twitter, trying to find and follow the people you followed before... feels like you're playing a Pokémon game.
