@whsmithofficial.bsky.social ?
How would the 2.5m people in those houses get around?
@cityofsydney.bsky.social do this!
I was just a bit confused about why anyone would want paper statements ever. The detailed explanations about fraud would make it easier for fraudsters to commit more fraud.
Sir, are you familiar with 'the internet'?

Sir, this is a Wendy's
"don't know chief, I'm sure there must be a hydrant nearby"
“My name is Mingus Reedus, commander of the armies of the north, general of the Felix legions, loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
No class? Free pizza No, class-free pizza No! class, free pizza
World War III (let's hope not)
The Enshittening?
They will be mississed
Guess where former defence ministers are? 👀 The revolving door is a real obstacle to good governance and it should be SHUT.
There must be more than three snakes, or is it just like one snake family, two parents and a kid?
Gavin Newsom is Temu Bill Clinton, discuss.
And only 15% of your battery used, result.
Very stupid headline. Net debt is zero.
Does it cure it, or just no one stays around to hear the snoring?
JK Rowling: they must use the sex they were in the egg to choose which toilet not to use. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Focaccia comin' atchia
The vendors should sue for harrassment at this point.
Yeah, maybe not a limiter, maybe it just messages your local court to own up to the speeding offence and if it's a genuine emergency you can get the fine/points waived.
Tbh if you wait a few weeks could be reality tv.
Well, you have one screw already, you know what to do.
Google Lens claims it's a Canon

Cat is now fully charged.
We are all individuals
Hang on, are their instructions for how to dismantle an atomic bomb now trustworthy?
Creme <> Cream
The Punning-Kruger effect. People who think they're funny but are absolutely not e.g. Musk. Is this a thing?
Elon Musk thinks he is a comedy legend. He is not.
Would be quite interesting to properly test price elasticity too. Have one month free if you like, but another few weeks when the prices are higher/high.
That wall should have been wearing a high vis jacket, amirite?
Discovery Bros
Fire Hegseth.
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Mean.
Wired rules. Just an incredible group of journalists who are completely meeting the moment. And you can subscribe for $2 a month, which is insane www.wired.com/story/a-new-...
Coffee machine is underwhelmed
Kicking out Drew Hutton is a great advert for the Greens.
Imagine how fast we might have got there with leadership
In 2022 the Tory party allowed members as young as 15 years old to play "pick the Prime Minister" during the Liz Truss leadership election. Now they're up in arms at the idea of 16 and 17 year olds being allowed to vote for their local MP in general elections!
Superman branding has gone a bit too far
Dear Andrew Cuomo, New Yorkers rejected you in the primary. And now you’re pressing them again to pick you? No means no.
£2,500 each over 5 years? That should achieve not very much
Monopoly but with real properties.
Erm, you are the associated press, please act like it.
The Constitution would like a word.
These new Daleks look sinister
Didn't the UK already do this? Albeit temporarily
Hey @gizmodo.com - can you please take Deals out of your news feed? It really diminishes the brand and is just asking to get blacklisted by google news.
Look, it gives lots of kids their first lesson on the damage PE can do, it's not all bad.
Needs more Womble
This hits hard
Did they spin off this series into Cheers?
Has anyone assembled a list of VCs in Silicon Valley and their publicly stated views on core issues? Genuinely feels like that might be useful for a lot of entrepreneurs to get a sense of who they might be working with and their values.
Gasps in vlookup.
To the tune of Rage Against the Machine KITNO
America is not civilisation!
Seems a bit haunted
Oh wow I thought someone had found the president's missing ear.
This is now my dream.

Aren't the victims also witnesses?
They also dim the cabin lights when you come into land so your eyes adjust to the dark in case you need to RUN OUT FASTER.
We'll have to wait until we find bigfoot to know for sure.
This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
Let's be realistic, this law isn't going to work unless adults are happy to hand over ID every time they use the internet.
Kinda embarrassing she's endorsing this flawed policy

Memo to #abc730: Mike Pezzullo was sacked from the APS for breaching its Code of Conduct FOURTEEN TIMES. He left in disgrace. He was officially stripped of his Order of Australia. Why is he now being given access to your prestigious platform?
Hegseth appears to have a columnar hat.
Is that a fabled lava pit?

Alfred Nobel the other notable exception.
Alanis would like a word.
LMAO so quiet the only thing you hear is the squeaking tanks😂
I misread this and it was quite offensive.
Maybe a Signal would be better
Weird thing to advertise
I just got an excellent rug. Carpet diem.
I don't have time for this
Does this include state taxes? Surely given regressive nature the tax take is even higher on undocumented people?
Hopefully he'll bring in the dates/fuel consumption standards a bit
Yeah, over a decade the write off costs are negligible.
Thanks for the link mate
I am now trying to locate a 'jumper'.
Yup, just trying to help the political messaging. "2000 kids who won't have to go to hospital" is much clearer and effective. This is an output measure not an outcome measure.
Surely the judge can push for a resolution?
So.. how much cleaner is the air? A great scheme but horrible sales pitch.
Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words
