Dun use pinterest myself, but I know a few who do, so...

This isn’t how you beat Russia. It’s how you become Russia.

But billionaires, politicians and media will tell us again and again that unfiltered capitalism that's prevalent in US and UK and other countries is the right way forward...

THIS IS SHOCKING - the financial links between MPs and the private healthcare sector. We have just completed research showing that... MPs received more than £2.7m in donations from individuals and companies directly or indirectly connected to the private healthcare sector between 2023 and 2025 🚨

I can’t believe we still have to explain this. Trying to insult them by implying they’re gay is saying that being gay is worthy of insult. It’s not that hard. Call him a puppet, say he’s in his pocket, use your words, and avoid the splash damage to others. And stop using AI slop art to do so. 😡

This.

...that fried cream egg or whatever it is being offered by that pizza company looks absolutely disgusting 🤢 (Just saw that tv ad for the first time today)

Seeing Starmer and Charles pander to the ego is grotesque. I know it's working, it will always work because that's how vain he is... but seeing our leaders prostrate themselves like that just... ugh.

If the results are close to that, that'd be good. The % vote for AfD is 19-20% too high for a far-right Nazi party but the fact that they, hopefully, won't get in power is good.

That must be the first truth Johnson has ever said. Johnson is known as Britain's version of Trump for a reason, destroying everything he touches and he took the UK close to fascism himself. So for him to say this... there's something else going on.

While I'm not an Apple user, I am glad Apple refused to build a backdoor. No amount of "security" claimed by UK government should ever impact people's rights to privacy.

In other news, my car's all sorted for another year - MOT passed with flying colours. Insurance all's sorted, tax will be done tomorrow.

I may have to bring forward getting a new phone much quicker... this one for a moment refused to turn on, etc. I finally managed to get it on and a restart appeared to have made things better for now, but... yeah. Not something I wanna risk...

Being leftwing in the UK is like being the only sober person on the night out and being told by the drunks that they're driving everyone home.

Seeing the true Starmer and co come out revealing they're red tories just proves that I was right not to trust them and vote for another party in the GE.

Can it be spring already? My feet are almost always cold in winter...

In the biggest "wow, you don't say" dripped with sarcasm news ever...

The sooner we get this in place, the better. Especially since we've seen polls suggesting a far-right ToryReform alliance. We need this protection in place or the ToryReform will destroy the UK as Republiklans are doing to USA right now.

For those who are still on X or FB / etc... you are supporting the Nazis, you are supporting genocide, you are supporting suppression of human rights, women rights, lgbt+ rights, etc.

Windows updates... bleh. I swear, Microsoft are pulling an Apple and deliberately making everything slower.

Ppl are talking about "the next four years" for the USA. That's a little optimistic since Republikans' aim is to remove fair elections and rights...

If you're black and performing at the ball, if you're LGBT+ and performing at the ball, if you're female and performing at the ball... you're trying (and will fail) at preserving yourself at cost of others

Just one of thousands of examples regarding US's health exploitation system.

The article Julia provided is written by a Tory and as you can see, Tories (and their far-right allies) obviously wants to move to a US-style health exploitation system where you're made bankrupt for having a minor cold.

In less important news, I'm glad the BBC stuck with ppl who've covered sports events before to replace Lineker on MOTD. I probably wasn't the only one worried they were gonna try to destroy it as they did QoS with their choice of host...

Yep. The land of the free is now the land of the fascists. And, closer to home (UK), I'm seeing the same pattern. The change of government to Labour hasn't slowed it down.

Anyone else worried about the mining of personal and public data to the private sector to create money? Because that’s what these AI deals Starmer is planning really are. An exploitation of peoples’ information, before they can adequately demonstrate how that information will be safely held.🚨

Looks like I'm gonna have to find alternatives to amazon now... Bezos won't reverse his decisions unless ppl tell him with their wallets.

Well, that would ruin tiktok. I dun use it but anything he touches just turns dirty, same as elon, zuck, etc...

My first day back at work is going as well as can be expected for being on break for 4 weeks+... If only I could win the lottery or something, then I dun have to work *g* ah well~~~

I’m so fed up of politicians denying the NHS the resources it needs to save lives, deflecting blame elsewhere, and then funnelling more and more money into private company hands. It’s grotesque. Patients are dying.

And this is why what disabled activists mean when we say our mere existence is political. That accessibility is political.

The speed at which corporations r ditching DEI proves they were never serious abt diversity, equity or inclusion. Those they sought to exclude were never meant to be included. Racism, misogyny & xenophobia - that’s their comfort zone, the settings they r familiar with & comfortable operating within.

Anyway, in other news, I've been "playing" Tales of Toyotoki - and playing is in quotes because it's a VN with (so far) minimal choices. I think there's one more chapter to go but I'll read that tomorrow.

When ppl show you who they really are, when they show you who they really support... believe it. Don't think that Musk's or Zuckenberg's beliefs doesn't make a difference because they do. If you keep using their sites, you're supporting them and their oligarchy supremist ideaologies.

Do you think these companies are going to stop with trans folks? They're going to enable hate speech and dehumanizing rhetoric against anyone who's not an able bodied straight white Christian man. The time to speak out is now.

I'm so not ready for it to get dark yet. That's the problem with being a winter baby... so little daytime. At least I had some sun, I guess... :)

There's a few things I wanna comment about, but I'll leave them for tomorrow. Today, though, is my birthday. 😊 I don't think bluesky does the balloons like old twitter...
