Old bird. Kindness matters. Yes, I care and work to try and make the world a better place irl but this is where I come to talk nonsense about things that make me happy. But also: Free Gaza. Protect the Dolls.

I know my USA history is limited to several blocks within my A level, stopping at 1980 (and I think starting at 1760) plus the stuff I had to learn to pass my naturalization exam…. But when exactly was American military blood lost to help China?
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
I’m getting real ARA General Belgrano flashbacks tonight. War Crime comes to mind as well, as it does with the Belgrano. www.historicmysteries.com/history/belg...
Facts are unfolding but while Trump officials have claimed that the Venezuelan boat was carrying drugs, independent and verifiable proof of the cargo has not been publicly provided. Even if true, then arrest and fair trial are the right response, not the death penalty. 11 were killed.
This is the little boat that Trump bombed. Literaly bombed it with a cruise missile. 11 people murdered. Where are the drugs that a little skiff like that could carry, crammed with people? Stop calling it the Venezuelan strike. It is outright murder in international waters.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
There are times when I think Sabrina didn’t have scripts to play Maya Hart, she was just Sabrina being herself, dropped into the middle of a sitcom and everyone thought she was acting. Today is one of those times.
Ok so Sabrina Alt-Endings now are heel to the heart, the lightning strike & tree falling, and now being crushed by a piano…
It’s the 50th anniversary on 26th. I think I saw my cinema is reshowing it all weekend
I’ve said it watching the NH podcast but her wearing an incredibly similar outfit, including the watch to the Wildest Dreams video has to mean she wants to notice something about the song or video or performance
Oh wow!
Actually I’ve read it properly now, they’re saying she’s a cinephile but she love schtik. I’d still have thought she might have said The General, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and Mean Girls. Choosing The Party out of all Sellers movie and the problematic brown face is… interesting
What strange movie choices to prove someone is a cinephile. The Party in particular, Peter Sellers in brown face and lots of 60s Indian stereotypes. Odd. And all 3 films mentioned being slapstick. Not say Casablanca, Mean Girls and 8½. Choosing The Party has to mean something
I’m willing to learn though
Like “Easter eggs” are now used for not only actual easter eggs, but references and homages
I’ve always thought that the Eras Tour images during Wildest Dreams were Taylor taking back control of her “image” from the Famous video too, before she burns the bed and everything down (burning. it. down.)
Totally. There’s the things we see and the whole community instantly gets, things we see and those who have outside references or who’ve already been deep down rabbit holes piece together for everyone, and things we see and we don’t understand but they feel to be too blatant not to be a thing.
Remember he’s vain and needs glasses but doesn’t often wear them. He probably can’t see that it needs blending
What’s with the swollen lymph nodes at the top of his cheekbones?
I love going back and watching videos etc and going “ohhhhh it was there in clear sight”. I know we spot or work out lots of things, but I actually enjoy that we only get 40% (maybe that’s too low) of her plants
I always get scenes from The Wall mixed up with scenes from The Who’s Tommy. I think I might watch both again
The “man spreading” too. I love that she’s having so much fun and taking us along for the ride
Why do I raise an eyebrow at Taylor wearing Victoria’s Secret still? Lex Wexner - the owner, CEO, who took VS from 5 stores to what it is today - Jeffrey Epstein’s benefactor, who sold/gave Epstein the $77million New York townhouse, who is accused of being part of the trafficking, that’s why
I’m in the US too but pay for a VPN rather than any streaming services so I can watch stuff around the world. We’re both right then 😄 Except Luke/Dermott seems to have disappeared from everyone’s memory on Albert Square.
She’s wearing Victoria’s Secret??
Release the FULL UNREDACTED Epstein Files Release the FULL UNREDACTED Epstein Files Release the FULL UNREDACTED Epstein Files
5 sons or 5 kids? I was including Luke/Dermott. I might be wrong, I thought I heard Kat say she had 3 sons but she could have said kids Zoe, He who shall never be admitted existed ever again ie. Luke/Dermott, Tommy, Bert and Ernie. #EastEnders #Redwaterexisted
Perhaps Liz Truss could make a White House visit. I know she went to the States for the Republican Conference
I totally agree
Ooooh I wonder if the announcement at 2pm might be him cancelling the state visit to the UK (because he’s not well enough but he’ll come up with a different reason, perhaps him being needed here once he declares martial law).
Could someone arrange for Liz Truss to spend some time with Trump on the state visit to the UK? Because JD seems to have used up his skills on the Pope.
Doh, yep. That’s got to be an option. Sending the troops in to Venezuela as well.
Ooh I’ve never watched The Parallax View, I shall add it to my watch list, but when I’m happier. I watched for the first time The Manchurian Candidate recently and wow was it a good movie but the dread, eek
I watched it once at university and don’t think I can stomach it again so I’m very grateful for you reminding me without me having to go through it again
So, will the announcement be: a) Doge checks will be issued in 2 weeks b) impeaching Biden c) arresting Obama d) stopping a seventh war, this one between Oceania and Eurasia e) sending in the troops to Chicago f) banning all vaccines g) the creation of government sanction militias h) selling Alaska
Will no-one ask Oscar to give back the money? There’s drawing a line under it all Patrick, but surely one of the family, Anthony surely, say that all that money needs to be repaid… so Howie can be found out #EastEnders
Kat: “I grew up, I’m a Mum now, I’ve got 3 sons” That’ll be 4, Kat. #EastEnders
I’m sure it won’t be, he just doesn’t want to be forgotten. It will probably be some charts about how hot America is now and how he ended 6 wars
@defargeswift.bsky.social oh I have to follow Madame Defarge! I have a tshirt I wear from your Knitting School. It was the best of rows, it was the worst of rows. If you know, you KYOK 😉
I’ve looked at IMDB, Frances O’Connor played the lady but has no character name. Also the LOIS patients are number 1934 to 1939, but there’s no 1938.
september is suicide prevention month. it’s a hard month for me & a reminder of a lot of loss, a reminder of the missed moments & memories that feel like they’re slowly fading away. this is your reminder to check in with your loved ones this september and stay aware of the signs. you are not alone.
Who was the last lady that Wednesday and Fester rescued who asked if Wednesday had come to kill her? Was she a red herring? I just assumed that was Ophelia
I know it feels like Julie’s mysterious phone calls might be that she has a boyfriend because Nigel’s been gone for 2 years, but what if she’s trying to persuade Claire to come and see him before it’s too late? Just like she got his car back in his life #EastEnders
Someone help me out and explain where Yolande and Patrick’s wedding was held tonight, how do you get to Container Junction? Where is it in relation to the Square? (Still can’t get my head around the expanded park where Louie hid in the tunnel) #EastEnders
Oops I’m back dammit
And don’t get me started on Tommy telling Zoe about Bert and Ernie and not Luke/Dermott
Tonight’s #EastEnders felt it could have been an hour long special but they had to cut huge chunks of the story to get to normal length. The whole Oscar being the wedding organizer suddenly and getting that done in an afternoon, Zoe suddenly willing to see Kat after doing EVERYTHING to hide from her
It’s one o’clock, I can’t be here lollygagging, I have spreadsheets to do! (Someone shout at me if they see me sneak back to like posts)
🚨When all is said and done the money that was WASTED on Alligator Alcatraz could’ve easily been the 1 TRILLION that was cut from Medicaid. There must be oversight for the OUTRAGEOUS costs: 1) Monetarily 2) Environmentally & 3) The Physical & Mental Health stress this cost people and their families.🚨
I wonder if Taylor has shares in companies that make record players
That appears to just be the Mrs Peacock ending.
🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨 (if you’ve never watched the masterpiece Clue) Submitted for your approval, for no particular reason *coughSabrina* all 3 endings of Clue, which when we ORIGINALLY saw it at the cinema, we only got to see one ending and it was random: youtu.be/NuUrxRdJv9U?...
CLUE!! 😁😁😁
I mean Rocky Horror and Clue star Tim Curry, so it could fit, and they are both campy and made around the same time…
Hang on, is this like the multiple endings of Clue??
…domestic abuse victim, unless… and this is me guessing, they had spoken with her, and drove off seeing the police coming?
If the police report say Rudi didn’t stay with the domestic abuse victim till they got there, but instead the police witnessed the crash while they were assisting her, a crash on the OPPOSITE side of the interstate… how did the initial press release from Rudi’s people say they knew she was a…
That Giuliani statement is like when you're a kid and you know you're about to get into trouble so you preemptively cook up some overly elaborate yarn that only draws attention to how suspicious you're being
But he wait a minute, he wished Ghislaine well when she was just in prison not even dying…
The police report say that while THEY were dealing with the domestic abuse case (nothing about Guiliani staying with her until they got there) they witnessed the crash. So many questions. But I feel terribly sorry for the poor 19 year old www.nhsp.dos.nh.gov/news-and-med...
If I were Ed I would be staying miles clear of Barrymore…
Tommy telling Zoe he’d like her to meet the twins Bert and Ernie and not telling her, “oh by the way, you never knew this, but you’re a twin too, I met our brother Dermott in Ireland” #EastEnders #RedwaterExists youtu.be/JFaxGUopMwM?...
I have congestive heart failure, just before my major failure my ability to walk got down to 6 steps before I had to sit down exhausted. I know I saw he’s been sitting down in the Oval Office a lot, has anyone seen him stand or walk a few steps without immediately having to sit down?
5/ to locate vax stock & schedule an appointment. Then, when vax rates fall even further, RFK will say "We did our job & made it available, but no one wanted it b/c they're smart, & so, know it's bad for them." And many will believe him, b/c it's + comfortable than admitting they dropped the ball.

He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
Oh she nose
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
That Rudy Giuliani statement is sooooo weird. Also, let alone the story about him “saving” a domestic abuse victim… what happened to the other driver? Has anyone checked to see it wasn’t someone from the Trump team trying to change the headlines from Donald’s health?
Judge Sooknanan continues her monologue: And so, absent action and intervention by the court, all of those children would have been returned to Guatemala, potentially to extremely dangerous situations.
Judge Sooknanan: And I tried to reach the government. I have been up since then..and didn't reach anyone from the government until later this morning. And the imminence that the plaintiff claimed proved true, because, in fact, those planes *were* loaded. One actually took off and was returned.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
The country and military being obliterated… is it going to be like a spontaneous combustion or a Thanos snap and we all float away as dust on the wind?
When she's done reading select quotes from the plaintiff's declarations, Judge Sooknanan sums it up as follows: "And so this doesn't quite line up with what I'm hearing from the government.
Sooknanan: Every one of these 10 children who are named plaintiffs speak about being afraid of going back to Guatemala. She reads a series of quotes in which the children express being afraid of return because they experienced neglect or abuse from one or both of their parents.
Yeah Ednaswap, it’s good but it’s not as this performance of it by Natalie (and David Armand) 🤪😁😂 youtu.be/asJJ2xoWgus?...
Gosh I remember this coming out (the song! the song! stop throwing things at me!) and I don’t think young people now would understand how many of us were glued to the tv screen seeing “Beth Brennan” had cut her hair and become sexy. It was a definite “you have my attention” moment
Is everyone else suddenly pulling a Fosse-like pose and whispering to the no-one who’s there beside them “Dance break!” or is it just me?
Don’t anyone tell Alex about Taylor’s funfetti sourdough

The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.
Should be Merriam, blooming autocorrect
Divine decadence darling!
Hang on a minute, the book calls him Wilbur. So it’s the Rescuers Down Under not the original. He was voiced by John Candy then
I loved that movie, Miss Bianca was so refined. And Orville the Albatross had a screw loose
Merrill-Webster, what does crashing out mean? “to crash out is to become suddenly, uncontrollably angry or distressed” Probably 75-80% of the people I follow are Gaylors or people who like the music or lore of Taylor Swift who happen to be gay…. I haven’t seen one “crash out”
1. No they are not. One Reddit thread does not a whole community make. 2. Even in the article there isn’t sufficient evidence to say the whole Gaylor community is “crashing out” - there’s ONE person saying it’s worse than their grandfather dying - it’s an over-reaction yes, but, “crashing out”??
Nose boop
I feel sick
How could a caring future mother-in-law repost this rather than comment about how disgusting this is. We have NO IDEA whether Taylor can have children, what if she can’t for some reason and all these people are seeing her like some sort of brood mare.
“Breed” I said the other day when Ed said about Scott telling Travis not to worry about getting the engagement perfect “just get it done” that it sounds like they think of Taylor like livestock
Woo hoo, thank you
It’s so sad it didn’t get a bigger viewership, it’s so good. I’m so sad it didn’t get another seqson
I will have to have a look, I want to rewatch it. I haven’t seen it in decades
Absolutely and the conflict with a parent about who they want you to be as a performer and who you are off the stage. The seedy reality of show. Bump it with a trumpet 😁
