This is Deejay. He wanted to offer you a big nose and tiny tongue during this trying time. 14/10 (IG: deejayelgolden)

a 0.5x angle photo of a golden retriever named Deejay. he is very close to the camera, making his snout look slightly larger than average, and his tongue is poked out slightly to reveal the perfect mlem.

Ooh. When you walk in on a room full of discussion of you, especially that you weren't expecting. That's quite the thing. Particularly when you're having a CPTSD 'mare. Brilliant. My favourite things.

Brilliant piece by @labourlewis.bsky.social on why the Nigel Farage racism allegations matter. If we end up rewarding a politics based on the instincts of a racist schoolyard bully, we should't be surprised at what follows bylinetimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

Aye, it's been there a couple of weeks now... I've been (mostly) around here for 50 years*, and I don't remember any since Blair war criminal stuff. Tons of Thatcher stuff before that, mind, if you knew where to look! * about to lose 'comer-in' status next year 😃

Should you wear a mask if you've got symptomatic flu? YES. If you wear it at home *from the onset of your symptoms*, your family members are much less likely to catch flu from you (but you must avoid unmasked co-sleeping and eating around same table - have your meals alone). 1/

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.

In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children.

Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion. It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

£4K in 1970 was a pretty expensive house. Obvs depends on region etc, but a relative's house was bought in 1975 for £1.2K - 3 bed semi in a good area in Yorks... Done relatively bugger all with it & sold 5 yrs ago for ~£150K But yes, they really do need to get a grip with the pearl-clutching.

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors
