It feels so bleakly absurd that every few months there's a shocking story about some large group of men enacting violent harm on women and girls, and in the gaps everyone just goes back to arguing about whether immigrants or trans people in general might somehow be a threat to women and girls.

Humanists UK mourns Dame Esther Rantzen (1940–2026) Esther was a great champion of human dignity. She approached her final years with the same fearless determination that defined her career of advocacy, using her own experience to shine a light on the suffering caused by our outdated laws.

That's expected but sad nonetheless. And even sadder that she wasn't able to choose the time and manner of her death.

You can tell when an area has been gentrified, because the stolen cars stop doing doughnuts and start doing a trio of deconstructed artisanal mini desserts.

Comment on Reddit about this: "My mum tried to send a gift card to someone at the council who had helped her quit smoking. They turned it down because she wasn't allowed to accept gifts." And yet some MPs (and the authorities) think it's totally normal and fine to do this...

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is planning to turn an outdated skyscraper building in the city into 4,000 units of affordable housing. Instead of creating destructive data centers that destroy lives as well as the ecosystem for dark profit, this leader chooses to help people instead. More of this please.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

New cartoon: The RNLI
Cartoon titled “The RNLI: Some of the people they help,” showing six scenarios involving people rescued by the RNLI. Including a man caught by the tide, a YouTuber swimming without preparation, a middle-lane driver, a neighbour with different political opinions, a superyacht owner who forgot to refuel, and people crossing the Channel in a small boat. The final caption reads, “All human beings – all deserve saving.”

The sad part about having a pet is watching something that feels like your child grow up, then old and then begin to fade. The nice part for a pet is getting to live a good life then leave the world with their moms and dads still with them, taking care of them.

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

Jim Ratcliffe, tax-dodging Brexiter billionaire living in Monaco, says the poorest and most vulnerable should have their rights & benefits removed to bolster our economy. Don’t bother telling us this rancid man’s opinions unless you say how much he’s avoided in tax and what Brexit is costing us all.

"This country isn't poorer because disabled people get £100 a week or asylum seekers get £49 a week. It's poorer because the very rich dodge £35bn a year as well as £100bn a year flowing into British-enabled tax havens.
We're not broke, we're being robbed." Quote by Nazir Afzal in October 2025 alongside his photograph.

A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

Ian Hislop from @privateeyenews.bsky.social pointed out that during WW2 the RNLI rescued German and Italian crews, because their remit is the preservation of human life. They rescued people who were actively at war with our country, and they didn't face this level of hostility. This shit must stop!

RFK Jr wants you to believe he cares about the lives of children. Yet here he is clearly stating that “only sick kids SHOULD die of measles”. No kids should die from measles. It’s a vaccine preventable illness. He’s saying sick and disabled children are expendable. He’s a eugenicist.

What an incredibly thoughtful human being. Her point that over 1000 men being moved into a rural community would cause anxiety whatever their race feels like an essential one. I'd be way more worried about 1000 Tommy/Tommo white goons than I would be 1000 asylum seekers.
