On the night Channel 4 break a story about Reform UK Ltd and some dodgy financial dealings, the BBC news editor goes with this.

Burnham backtracks on social housing? Well, at least he plays the Smiths on guitar with Ukrainian soldiers so he's not all bad.

Seems even @bsky.app plays the misinformation game. Polls have only just opened.

Blue sky trending panel preemptively states "Farage wins Clacton seat."

Link from Trending panel reads "Count Binface also stood; Reform UK's biggest donor faces scrutiny over Kremlin ties."

I think generally the less stigmatising phrase is Effluent Enthusiast.

A vertical sign titled "Alma Road Bristol Combined Sewer Overflow" by Wessex Water. It features a "Be a Pollution Spotter" campaign, asking people to report unusual water discharge, discolouration, or distressed wildlife to their 24-hour hotline.

One newspaper (Metro) uses the phrase "sobbin Robbins", yet the BBC chose to use it in the headline for its daily newspaper review. It's sunk low, the BBC, as low as the tabloids when it just doesn't need to.

BBC news online newspaper review headline "'Starmer on the ropes' and 'sobbin' Robbins spills the beans'".

Saw this relic on a wall today and somehow it captured both how things used to be, and also how they still feel. Also fascinated by the assumption that a person in need of this smoked more than one cigarette at a time.

I wall mounted cigarette disposal box. The front is removed leaving on view the discarded cigarettes butts, piled in the bottom of the box. A sign remains which reads, please extinguish your cigarettes here.

Costumer services should give them a wig, red nose and extra long shoes.

Snapchat meme. The image is if a bag of value frozen peas, next to a big bowl of cooked peas with the handle of a fork or spoon sticking out l. The text reads "If you want free peas. Go to ASDA fall and hurt your arm. Go to Costumer Services and ask for an ice pack and they will give u free peas."

Damage is done though. Media obsession with this nonsense following the election meant that Farage and Reform slithered their racist rhetoric onto the front pages for days. This story will see the light of day for a couple of hours before disappearing into air.

If mental health is important to you then support this this publication, it's such an important voice!

Cover photo of Asylum: the radical Mental Health Magazine. A pixilated hand enters the frame from bottom right, held up with the inex finger pointing upwards, and fingers and thumb opened loosely. To the left is the phrase, written in red capitals "PROTEST IS THE PUREST FORM OF LOVE IN A WORLD THAT INSISTS ON ITS OWN SABOTAGE". Below in italicised capital letters are the words "STOP PALANTIR!"

Extraordinary. I live in the backwoods of Wales but this sophisticated piece of anti-communist propaganda finds its way through my letter box this morning. Never had one for Les Miserables, despite Cameron McIntosh's genius as Impresario.

A flyer for Shen Yun, a Chinese Dance Show. Against a purple background, and a picture of a rural Chinese scene, a woman dancer vaults gracefully, her stems and legs surrounded in orange silk, the sil flows from her hands. The English words below say Shen Yun, China before Communism.

Are they though @BBC? This movie is not about an alien invasion, is it. Fair play though, it's a really good way to play on people's paranoia. Not sure if it's constructing the narrative or capturing the zeitgeist. Either way, as worthy as any propaganda campaign from the 30's or 50's.

BBC iPlayer advert from their website promoting Close Encounters of the Third Kind with the headline "Aliens are invading in this sci-fi epic".

Unbelievable how childish some people can be. Imagine taking the time to do this while in the middle of grocery shopping in Lidl on the way home from work yesterday at about 3.00pm. A grown adult too. Pathetic.
