Good, I've been thinking about that dog that the police made the owners leave behind. I'm glad they went and got it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c65y7nl29k0et?post=asset%3Aea736565-8e5c-488e-a767-7f1ab0223048#post #Fairford

Motsi shouting out the menopause there #Strictly

Katya's so clever. That was beautiful. He even had a little bit of rise and fall. I didn't like that spin though, looked awkward. #Strictly

Well done Nikita maintaining the carry up the stairs #Strictly

Of the new presenting team I think Jo-Jo's done best (though they need to isolate his mic better if they're going to come to him while the Clauditorium is still cheering), with Emma and Josh having the slightly harder job of not crashing into/over each other #Strictly

The young people laughing at Anton pretending to know what TikTok is #Strictly

Always tough to penalise the celebrity for choreographic choices though, that's on the pro (and any specialist choreographers they bring in) #Strictly

Hmm, you don't arrest people on suspicion of terrorism, with all of the extras you get (like two weeks to question them) and then let them out on bail after a couple of days, if they were actually terrorists (they can't be associated with Palestine Action in any way then). They were a long way from London though, but there are lots of illegal activities that would have been greased by mocking up vans with fake logos: various illegal countryside bloodsports (badger baiting, hare coursing), fly tipping, just regular drugs/stolen goods transfers. It is an awful coincidence to be found quite so close to an RAF base being used by the US though. But as we saw with the murders of Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth, the location isn't necessarily related in any way to the crime (seriously, nobody in Bristol would try to dump human remains off Clifton suspension bridge - it's covered in cameras, there's other counter measures to prevent jumpers). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c65y7nl29k0et?post=asset%3A20eb0cd5-8431-417e-ba01-f5ddc6958e9b#post #fairford

@swisslet@mas.to oh yes, I've seen those. The stats also haven't gone anywhere, they are all on the app, it's pure ego that they want them front and centre on the website.

I would love #parkrun to be more explicitly trans-inclusive, but for their lack of desire/ability to enforce participants use their government IDs (which can (at least currently) be changed to accurately reflect gender rather than sex assigned at birth anyway) and all of the privacy concerns that such verification entails - they are threatened by a well-funded and rabid mob of literally a handful of people.

Judges also thought it was going to be shit #Strictly

Now, they have Dancing with the Stars in Australia (though not in 2026 yet), so fair play on Delta for going on the OG, which hasn't been kind to non-Brit celebs in the past #Strictly

An iffy start, and she needs to bring her feet together, but that was pretty good #Strictly

OK, Delta's only 41 #Strictly

Careful on those stairs, now #Strictly

I'm best known for: being Danny Dyer's daughter #Strictly

Follow that, the non Brit #Strictly

I have my own issues with Kai (he has spent so much time trying to get on telly, and I find him a bit fake) but that was amazing #Strictly

That new pro is making me laugh, he's smiling and nodding like a competition winner #Strictly

110%? He is a football cunt #Strictly

Calm down though with the scores, it wasn't *that* good #Strictly

Same time next week? #Strictly

Tough music for a tango. Not sure about it, but she mostly did what she'd been taught #Strictly

Oh, they weren't going for the start of Parkinson #Strictly

Just two left (I think): Delta & John (not together) #Strictly

Seems like a nice boy, if a little quiet (which is weird if he did Love Island) #Strictly

He has potential, but they're not going to be able to divert from the stated style so much in all of the dances. #Strictly

(this is what did for Layton in the end, he couldn't drop the musical theatre styling) #Strictly

Again, he shouldn't be allowed in if he's been doing beginner and novice comps (I should also not be allowed for the two years I did at university, if I were a celeb) #Strictly

Slightly weird ending, but competent, which is what I'd expect from someone who has already had lessons #Strictly

They are not cueing Emma & Josh properly #Strictly

Exactly what colour have they sprayed him? #Strictly

Unrelated, they've rejigged the live band and singers, but haven't shown them at all #Strictly

@TheDailyBurble@mastodon.social for whatever reason they (the government and its subsidiaries) need to account for domestic animals in any evacuation order. Anyone who has watched Saving Lives at Sea knows this: the RNLI will go out for stranded pets because they know their owners will risk their lives for them. It's very basic psychology and I was surprised that the owners were originally instructed to leave the dog behind.

Caught up with the first episode of It Takes Two and Ellie is such a safe pair of hands. It didn't feel as scripted and rehearsed (though it was). More like the Claudia days, including comments that will have gone over kids' heads #Strictly

Oh Fortuna! #Strictly

A reminder that their latest protest is scheduled for this Saturday (3rd October) so if you just happen to be wearing trans flag colours (light blue, pink and white) that might be a nice visual response. I will be in my TransFC football shirt, and as always my trans flag wristband. I might add a trans flag ribbon too.

Pottering about in the garden and the peace and quiet is shattered by the neighbour's child screaming 'Daddy, pay attention to me'. Kudos for knowing what you want (attention) and how to get it (screaming), I guess.

In that accent I though he was going to say: I'm known for being a football cunt #Strictly

Did she lose an earring or did she only start with one? #Strictly

A button down polo with a suit jacket just makes Josh look like he's spilled his dinner down whatever he was supposed to be wearing (and maybe he did) #Strictly

Well having read the latest in the Leicestershire saga, they really should have had legal representation. Nobody seemed to realise that the two different penalties would both be applied. The CDP has no power over the 19 point deduction, but have wiped 8 of what are supposed to be a minimum 16 point deduction due to 27 points just being too many.

Interesting format twist to talk to both the dance-off couples at once. In this case the first-announced couple outscored the second by 4 points and everyone who was left. #Strictly

I want to like Jamie, because I like Carlos, but she's going to have to grow on me #Strictly

@TheDailyBurble@mastodon.social hopefully they'll be updating the emergency plans that they said they had prepared in advance and swiftly rolled out to include not leaving dependent animals alone when evacuating people for an unknown amount of time.

@TheDailyBurble@mastodon.social not the finest moments from all levels: security service, military, and police. Thank goodness for nosey neighbours and partying farmers.
