You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name

I've never in all my years encountered a single transphobe who had any genuine interest in protecting women.

Britain would throw Canada on a tire fire for a single head pat from the US. Canada has to tread very carefully with this government and a one-sided relationship.

Aside but did you know that table salt isn't iodised in the UK? It was decided not to, because people get enough from dairy products, but now people have less dairy, so a lot of people don't get enough iodine. I buy a special salt that is iodised.

Close up photo of a group of Cladonia podetia. Each podetium is light grey in colour and shaped roughly like a golf tee. The top/bowl of each podetium is ringed with numerous small, roundish bright red blobs. These blobs are called apothecia - they are reproductive, spore producing structures.

No I am not adding a passkey leave me alone

He didn't have an evil focus group to tell him whoch words to blubber

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

It's sunny out and my dog who's been a bit antsy with all the rain is out basking in the sun like the peace walrus he is

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

It's so trash, honestly, I hate it

I wish it was allowed in the UK

All of this and Labour will learn nothing! They still believe they can tell voters of conscience to leave and then demand we still vote for them. The entitlement is dizzying! Sorry @lucympowell.bsky.social some of us have stable values, and Labour left us!

Ooh a good one, i don't usually think to get that!

Tonight is a Curry takeaway night here! What's the essential dish you order every time?

There's a guy on iNaturalist who always IDs my records and thanks for that etc, but he actually gave me a bad score on one of my MSc projects because he, the grader, didn't actually read the instructions, and I was too over it at that point to go get it corrected. Get off my moss records bro!!

Headline: reform's danny kruger claims party would 'resent Britain's sexual culture'

This is kink, guys. This obsession with sex, his yours, theirs, aliens', it's suggesting a freaky guy. Why is he thinking about our sexual culture this much? It's a kink!

Looks like there's an asco book on the way from Geoff Kibby: 'Cup Fungi and other Ascomycetes' #MycoBookClub www.myko-service.de/p/kibby-g-cu...

The original MMR autism quackery came from Britain.

This goes way back. It's hitting critical mass.

Fabulous!!

I was latte to the party but I see what you did there

Which defensive replies are you getting? I saw one person reply and say that the response is to win the election, which implies that it wasn't worth them addressing and they're focusin on the election, which isn't defensive. Are you talking about some other conversation?

Planning my next bread baking mission and I think it's going to be kaiser buns. I grew up with them but they're not at all a thing in the UK so I never have them now! Making things just for the challenge is my instinct but making things I actually really enjoy eating has been so fun. #breadsky
