Just picked my cat up in both hands and held him at arm's length while he unloaded about two pints of liquid shit on the kitchen floor. Like the Devil's own icing bag

since my co-host on @thewhale1851.bsky.social is relentlessly, bludgeoningly, perhaps even tastelessly Welsh, I've been trying to remember whether Moby-Dick engages with Welshness at any point. Surely it must do - does anyone know?

Imagine showing the sea your naked body and a pod of 40 distressed whales surfaces later that day.
A BBC article from 20th September describing a sunrise skinny dip at Druridge Bay in Northumberland which took place that day. A BBC article describing six pilot whales which died after stranding near Amble in Northumberland on Sunday afternoon.

Got back from Kenya last weekend and while I was unpacking my suitcase my horrible giant son (a cat) decided he liked it so much he would live in it. so I had to just leave it there open on the sofa for six days. On the sixth day he filled it wth vomit and decided he didn't care for it any more

I don’t feel, as an ethnic minority Briton, there should be more obligation on us to embrace antiracist and pro-migration politics than anyone else. But I do also find myself wondering when I read stuff like this, “You do realise most people who believe this also consider you one too many as well?”

A happy, smiling, almost cartoonist sperm whale. Surrounded by drawings of whale skulls.

did my five year old draw some sort of cat 9-11
notebook with a child's drawing in black ink of a plane headed towards a tall skyscraper-like building. there are two other buildings (so maybe it's not 9 11?). In the foreground are several smiling cartoon cats. She has written the words RAT, CATS, and PAT in various places of the drawing.

The issue isn't that Reform has an issue with dodgy candidates and are lax about vetting them - it's that Reform is an integral part of the ecosystem of the far right, of which it's the (semi-)respectablised electoral wing

This is great, but I really can't emphasise enough that Astley's links to Homeland weren't "uncovered", nor particularly "past" - he joined in 2025 after being chair of his local Reform branch, was very public about it, and returned to Reform just in time to run for the council. Everybody knew!

“The pogrom had bad intelligence” is really a bad stance for a Labour MP to take

Peter Mitchell @pdkmitchell.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
The fact is, Reform clearly knew exactly who this guy was, read the revolting stuff he posted on social media, knew he was in a fringe neo-fascist party, and welcomed him back to stand for elected office anyway because he's fully in line with their values: he's not a bad apple, he's the whole barrel
0104
Peter Mitchell @pdkmitchell.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
We know this because he posted about it, and wrote it in his blog, and identified as Homeland's Nominations Officer on X - having been Chair of the Newcastle North branch of Reform. The idea that his colleagues in Reform didn't know about this is as laughable as the idea they didn't see his tweets
