I’m glad Labour is supporting these workers, who are at risk of losing 400 jobs. Would be nice if they were also supporting university workers, where 10,000 jobs are at risk. In the first week of February alone 1,000 job cuts were announced. Nothing from Labour at all in response.

I attended a lecture by Meg Hyland at Worldcon 2025, 'We sang to stop ourselves from crying' about the Herring girls. Well worth attending if you're near. The lecture was a fascinating look into the past.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Remember in the immediate days after the shooting when we had a few grainy snapshots of his face and people were like ‘idk maybe it’s just a good angle and he’s actually average looking’ and it’s just like no the dude is just actually built like a statue of Apollo

SS United States - a 1950s pinnacle of engineering, speed and luxury, is being towed in a parlous state, stripped of parts, from Philadelphia , home of the Liberty Bell, to Florida, home of Mar-a-Lago , where it will be sunk forever. This is not a metaphor - somewhat surprisingly

Rent/mortgage is double, household responsibility and life admin is down to one person, you're your own emotional support, holidays are more expensive, you've to trap and transport human sacrifices for the solstice bonfire solo, etc.
