Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

The ‘west’ is over. In the Trumpian era, Europe is on its own | Alexander Hurst

We're a cut price Avengers.

No skin in any of the FA Cup games, but it's lovely to watch without bloody VAR ruining it.

wall street, working to elect a senile fascist: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! wall street, being governed by a senile fascist: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Something about this group of evil bastards I can't quite square with the right wing narrative.... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In 1999 I sat in a cinema confused about what tariffs had to do with the rise of a fascist empire. “Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute…”

A reminder that Trump, the luckiest man on earth, like in 2017, is inheriting a strong, growing economy with months & months of job growth & growing real wages (even though most Americans don’t know it!), & will almost certainly 1) take credit for it and 2) screw it all up again.

Renters Rights Bill passed the Commons this week. It hugely empowers tenants & guarantees several new rights, incl protection against no-fault eviction & cap on upfront rent.

We need friends, neighbours kids work colleagues to wise up about the urgency. media to report honestly. politicians to push for Net Zero nationally & internationally. The best time to start was 50 years ago. The next best is NOW. @mp-fossilfree.bsky.social @mvtfwd.bsky.social @

Trump and his henchman Musk treat America’s oldest allies as enemies. Britain can’t face that threat alone | Jonathan Freedland www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's not madness or senility that drives Trump and his incoming administration. It's interests.

I don't understand the political timidity when it comes to regulating social media. These are companies that have decimated the free press, fuelled race riots on our streets, undermined the mental health of our children, paid little tax and are now undermining liberal democracy itself.

Last chance to apply for this great role!

Good to see brazen racist Robert Jenrick MP called out for what he is - & by former Tory adviser Samuel Kasumu: "I think Robert Jenrick has the potential to be the most divisive person in our political history. Some of his words may result in some people dying” #bbclaurak

Gates: I want my foundation to use my money to end Malaria. - You are a threat to freedom and to humanity itself. Musk: I want to use my money to stir up racial hatred in other countries. _ Well-played sir. Well-played. Freedom has no more doughty defender.

A letter posted 2 years ago. As true today as it was then. And so it goes on. And on. And on. A country divided and diminished because its politicians chose to lie and then - when it went tits up - couldn’t risk telling the truth.

“Not even high school shooters are classed as terrorists in the US because a class of kids is less important than a CEO who ruthlessly exploits the working class.” open.substack.com/pub/normalis...

Yeah. And doctors washing their hands before they operate on you. Let’s open up that whole can of worms too. Big Soap has had its own way too long.

noo pooh!

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

Here's Emma Dabiri making exactly this point. The Tory pattern is "cuts creating problems" then "division to mask problems". It is relevant, because it is STILL their strategy. But god forbid a guest links two subjects with a theme. The interruptions from FB took longer than the point. ~AA #BBCQT
