It's honestly a point that needs to be made. Took me ages to reconcile having a good brain and cracking tits.

Fucking love Self Esteem. Watching her #Glastonbury set back and the glee on her face when the crowd sings back to her is just beautiful.

The BBC producer that had to play whack-a-mole with Bob Vylan, Kneecap and Amyl and the Sniffers on the political statement front when Loyle Carner pops out with Ezra Collective and freestyles a Farage diss #Glastonbury

Literally how many rich fuckers would have to leave to make it unprofitable to tax the remainder? (Leaving side the many other benefits of reducing inequality.)

Delighted to see that (I think) the Greens have the lowest transfer to the Tories and Reform, and that right wingers *still* don't understand transferable votes.

Apart from the fact that these definitions are not definitions, the "wishes to be treated" stuff is very very divergent from how the GRA talks about trans identities.

Remember on election night when the BBC abandoned the swingometer because there was no swing. More 2019 Tory voters swung to being dead than swung to Labour in 2024

So this Starmer "concession" on PIP is just that we won't know the names of the people whose lives he devastates because they will just be people who never get help, rather than losing it? Fuck off if that's enough to stop your"rebellion".

An obviously true thing that the government refuses to accept because, I think, key figures think it's morally noble to prioritise salt-of-the-earth smalltown reactionaries over annoying progressives

Voters who have deserted Labour since the election are much more likely to vote Green or Lib Dems, than Reform, new YouGov polling finds. Green and Lib Dem defectors are also much more likely to consider switching back than Reform voters who overwhelmingly say they're committed to Farage's party

Makes my blood boil how many cis people think this is at all reasonable and how much the conversation gets to be “what provisions will there be for the trannies“ rather than actually just opposing the bio essentialist discrimination argument

I don’t understand Yvette Cooper’s moral universe where we are supposed to feel more threatened by protesters spray painting war planes than our own government’s steadfast support of a regime who everyday find more horrendous ways to murder people .

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

This is *exactly* my experience of turning out to be 5'6" not 5'5" with "good posture". Except it wasn't a mistranslation, I just thought I was an inch, or 2.4cm shorter. Until I was 40.

if you go to gigs or have kids or younger friends or just exist in a city and go outside, then the facts on the ground as regards the presence and acceptance of trans people are just so sharply disjunct from what you’d think if you only read or watched the news or listened to politicians

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source. In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up. @ember-energy.org

Good to see Wendy Alexander marking 25 years since the bruising, hurtful but ultimately successful fight to repeal Section 28 in Scotland. In those days the Equality Network was all volunteers, and the fax (!) from Wendy's office confirming the wording of her announcement arrived in my back bedroom!
