@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social any reason why the pod isn’t showing up on the fruit based podcast app this afternoon? It’s on Patreon but I subscribe via the podcast app so can’t access it.

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social Went to see If I Had Legs I'd Kick You. Thought it was a fantastic (though stressful) film. A woman two seats down had a small emotional support dog with her. It abided by the code and was very quiet. I wish I could have had one during the film's more stressful moments!

The line “vote for us or you’ll get the far right” doesn’t really work when the policies you’re enacting are barely distinguishable from what the far right propose.

@jeffsmithmp.bsky.social regarding the new asylum plans, all I have to say is REALLY? Where is the compassion? Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is worse than the Tories. At least they didn’t pretend to be anything other than Tories.

Some of my favourite meditation practices are those that take me outside. Today I did some mindful walking in the sunshine in the park, and a seated practice on a bench, taking in the sun on my skin, the cool breeze on my arms, and the tweeting of the birds. Being present brought me so much joy.

💫 Small, restorative breaks throughout the day can do wonders for your mind and body. Step outside, breathe deeply, or close your eyes for a few minutes. These tiny moments of calm can help you reset and recharge. #RestorativeBreaks #BeatBurnout #WomenOver55 #Mindfulness #SelfCare

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

@jeffsmithmp.bsky.social it’s not just me that is disillusioned with Labour over the welfare cuts. You must stand up for the most vulnerable in society and stop punishing them. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/27/shameless-welfare-cuts-are-a-betrayal-of-labour-voters

Oh no, someone's made some stickers to stick on controlled pedestrian crossing points in an attempt to encourage the council to change the timings.

Been waiting long? That's because the council thinks someone in a car a quarter of a mile away is more important than you. They could make the lights change as soon as you press the button, but they don't. Complain to them.
