I realise that it is becoming more and more likely that the UK has a far right government in the next five years unless the less right wing parties start realising that the whole of the UK don’t hate or fear immigrants and they can stop the race to the bottom on refugees

Self-promotion thread. What work of yours do you want to promote? It doesn't have to be commercial. If you've painted something or done some interesting needlepoint, that counts too. (If you don't create, post something you've enjoyed)

Was driving the family home from Dublin today and this song comes on. I comment, ‘this sounds like something I’d write.’ General concurrence from those who hear all the songs I write. Google him when I get home and how in the hell have I never encountered John Martyn before? youtu.be/-ltPQnZGI9Y?...

Just wait until the women’s sports supporters who got caught up in the anti-trans propaganda of the Trump campaign realize that Title IX (the civil rights act that mandated equal support of — and therefore catalyzed the rise of — girl’s and women’s sports) is “DEI”.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Ireland has a Threshold 9,165 Statements of support needed to move forward with this #EU initiative on banning Conversion "therapy" for LGBTQ+ people. It's now at 5,676, 61.93% of the way there. So go sign if you're an EU citizen, Conversion therapy is just torture, ban it. #Spéirgorm

People told me that as I got older I’d get more right wing. I waited for it but it hasn’t happened What has happened and is maybe the real journey for my generation is that the enthusiastic tech-utopianism of my 20s has been replaced by dead-eyed horror and the need to scream warnings however I can
