Reader? I did!

I have a wireless mouse for my desktop - the first I have owned in my entire mouse owning life - which I have just switched off. Will I remember this in the morning? Let's find out.

@TomHulme79 Did anyone swear on the Gove edition of the Bible

I love watching MPs swearing in following an election. It’s an easy way to learn new names and faces and gives a great insight into the religious, national and political identities of members. Here’s a thread of some of the more interesting moments from the last couple of days🧵

New Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer’s victory speech reminded me a little bit of this pep talk by Steve Fleming from The Thick of It. 🗳️ #GE24 #GE2024 #GeneralElection24 #GeneralElection2024 #KeirStarmer #SteveFleming #TheThickOfIt

@Wangleberry Nice try, but you'll never know if I am or not

@Wangleberry in conclusion, (thing) is a land of contrasts

RT if you’d like me to represent the UK at #EUROVISION 2025.

@thetvroom @BBCRadio2 Maybe they were going to play this year's (now disqualified) Dutch entry.?

🟦 CLEAN FEED | @BBCRadio2 programmes were interrupted for just under ten minutes from around 2.20pm. The R2 emergency tape was manually faded in/out, disrupting Gary Davies' Abba-themed Radio 2 Loves Eurovision. The reason for the break is unknown at the moment.

It's Christmas time, so say Amen Because we use, the Julian Simply having an Orthodox Christmas Time

@10DowningStreet The courts interpret legislation Parliament creates and apply it to the real world instead of the Westminster bubble of self aggrandising vote-chasers mugging to the public. Sovereign doesn't mean unchecked.

We are a reasonable country, but our patience has now run out. Our Parliament is sovereign, and it should be able to make decisions that cannot be undone in our courts. That’s what this emergency legislation delivers.

When I was younger, I held the notion that humans were becoming more enlightened as societies threw out old laws that were unjust, cruel and intolerant - a battle for improvement, slowly pushing onward. I now know this to be 100% wrong. It's cyclical, and we are spiraling down

@peterwalker99 "If you want an (ahem) for a neighbour, vote Liberal or Labour". The hate never went away, just the language changed.

Robert Jenrick on Labour immigration policy: “The new towns he [Keir Starmer] announced at the Labour party conference will be filled with illegal migrants." We're fairly openly in the arena of far right rhetoric here.

At start of his small boats Commons statement, Robert Jenrick blames asylum seekers for putting a strain on housing & public services, & "at times serious community cohesion challenges". That may in cases be true - but such a direct link is fully back in nasty party territory.

@beardyman Community Note: Yes there are.

There are no cats in america…

@beardyman on pigeon street

Once there was art, now only distraction, Only a void where once was satisfaction, We spiral, we tumble, we accelerate, Towards oblivion, a shining monument to self destruction. Wither wholeness. Without purpose, we disburse, As succour, we, engorged, die in brutish penury.

@The_Gazette This article is grotesque. It's from a gambling website and "optimistic" is a thinly-veiled cover for "targetable audience who will gamble out of desperation and hopelessness"

Blackpool has been named the most optimistic area in the UK according to a study by Amazon Slots trib.al/mLCrGFk

@bennjordan Looks like it's finally time for the comprehensive footpedal showdown!

I hope the person who starts an all-ai generated porn site calls is onlygans

@BBCSounds For the better. The tyranny of the judges picking all the boring songs and crushing the countries who Get Eurovision is over.

How did the change in the #Eurovision voting system this year affect the results? #Eurovisioncast is (almost) lost for words on the latest episode...

Sadly King Charles just fell at Becher’s Brook and has had to be destroyed. #Coronation
