Canada: Centre left party opposes Trumpian politics, delivers surprise win Australia: Centre left party opposes Trumpian politics, delivers surprise win UK: Centre left party chases after Trumpian politics, people vote for the actual trumpian party anyway. Labour strategists: more rightwing it is!

🚀 Following Thursday's election we've reached a new record high 859 councillors on 181 councils! 💚 The Green Party is the only party offering a real alternative to the tired old parties. Join the Green Party today to help us keep delivering real hope and real change ⤵️

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

@patstaresat.bsky.social are you catching all this news about Polygon and Giant Bomb? www.pastemagazine.com/games/games-...

In 2016 When North Carolina did a Trans "Bathroom Ban", PayPal & Deustch Bank canceled expansions, sports leagues stopped competing in the state. Performers from Bruce Springsteen to Pearl Jam to Cirque Du Soleil canceled performances. Time for an international boycott of the UK #TransRightsBoycott

The assumption of course that if the kid is autistic they should not be allowed to transition is so fucking awful

As Keir Starmer does a “trans women are men” media tour today, I hope people think about that time he invoked the memory of Brianna Ghey in Parliament as part of a gotcha for Rishi Sunak. Abusing her memory for PR whilst plotting to remove the rights she would’ve had to live as herself. He’s sick.

INLAND EMPIRE - Why should we just leave and leave -- and the world get left behind?

Piety is stored as an unsigned integer so that if you just sin hard enough during a conclave you can exploit underflow and clip into the pope rank regardless of faction

In response to calls to ban parties from pride for their transphobic politics, I think one thing to make note of is that if you're a politician in a transphobic party, instead of standing at pride you could speak at parliament about the shame the government's failure on trans policy brings you.

Massive protests around the UK in response to the Supreme Court's reprehensible ruling this week stripping trans women of legal recognition even with a GRC. Crowd in London is too big for the metal barriers and is spilling out all over as thousands protest the Court's ruling.

"Woman" is now legally classified as "broodmare," I'm sure this will have absolutely zero long term consequences for reproductive healthcare down the line. After all it's not like anti-trans agitation is part of a far wider far-right, explicitly natalist movement or anything, right?

this was just 10 years ago. the uk was ranked highest on the rainbow europe map for LGBTQI+ rights at 86%. in 2024 the uk had plummeted to just under 52%

We are incredibly saddened to hear of the Supreme Court’s ruling today. We support our friends in the LGBTIQA+ community in their calls for an appeal and fully standby their right for self-identification.

Canary’s dead mate

The Metamorphosis by Kafka except everyone in Gregor Samsa's family is acting like turning into a bug is normal, expected and good, and get offended when he complains about being a bug. Upon suggesting that he wants to be a human again, he's suggested psychiatric intervention

Watching the Stand Up 2 Cancer specials of Bake Off, with Noel Fielding wearing a King Gizzard jumped. @fezzy.bsky.social spots it and yells "A Gizzard sighting! Someone tell @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com!"

no lies detected. #civilrights

idk about this "adobe" malarkey but I-Do-Be recommending these fine alternatives to their software

Wes Streeting openly collaborates with and pushes the agenda of self-professed child abusers. He is unfit for office and should be sacked immediately.

BLOOBDORNE for Switch 2!

val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning

The last racist who got given a platform at Bristol Harbour.

From and IBM training manual in 1979 - "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision."

@wshed.bsky.social do you want to explain why you're allowing the racist multimillionaire Arron Banks from Reform UK to speak at the Watershed this Wednesday? If you let this go ahead I'll never come to the Watershed again. Fuck Arron Banks, and fuck Reform UK. Racists go in the fucking harbour.

Pretty much EVERY book I've ever published got stolen by Meta and is listed in this database. That's over 30 books, a 25 year career output. (Need to find a UK class action lawsuit to join, or a US one that's open to non-US residents whose work was published in the USA) […]

LinkedIn seems to have deleted the my response to someone asking - in response to my criticism of Viktor Orbans bill to ban Pride celebrations in Hungary - why do I need pride? There's been more rightwing spew and bigotry over there, but i'm not good at backing down from an internet fight...

BREAKING🚨 -We've investigated the financial links between MPs and the private health sector, and can now announce which MP received the highest donation amount from individuals+companies with links to the private health sector between 2023-2025. It's Wes Streeting. Our Health Secretary. £179,575🚨

The Scottish Greens will stand with trans people today, tomorrow and always.

Cheeky little false spring we had there eh

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Turn from the ruin. Turn and go *forward*.

Wow – amazing news this morning. Getting to net zero will be even cheaper than we previously thought & could save households £700 a year on bills, with more savings from switch to EVs. This is win-win-win for people in the UK and govt must commit to making it happen.

Well said.
