Glad to become another contributor to the Benjamin Ryan Youth Transition Fund!
Props to the photo editor on the BBC website who chose this image of Peter Mandelson with his hand on Keir Starmer's back so that it looks like he is controlling a puppet or trying to get a response out of a particularly lifeless-looking wooden doll
Actual bluesky challenge: post your favourite work of art from fifty years before you were born
Starting to receive "Black Friday" messages signalling weeks long promotions and I cannot stress enough that THIS IS NOT HOW FRIDAYS WORK
Teen Vogue was doing great political journalism so they killed it, in case anyone's wondering how the creeping authoritarianism in the US is going
When I need a diversion I look up reviews of random nearby places on Google maps. Found this petrol station today and it's a classic of the genre.

Daniel Craig was meant to be an ally... Given source hope it's not true. Also,who shrunk Ed Sheeran? Or made the massive transphobe into an actual giant?
Was going to post COP29 take but it was just same old same old with worse food and petro-state vibes. Also this: (image shamelessly stolen from Red Constantino who I think isn't on here)
