It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

We can only hope that FPTP gives us a result that is not very representative of this. Also, it'd be nice if Starmer joined the Labour Party.

Red = lowest ecological integrity. Ireland has the great honour of being probably the most ecologically trashed nation in all Europe. 🏆 🏆 🏆

I was LX op on the original London production of GHD @oldvictheatre.bsky.social. Think there was a time when I had seen the production more than anyone else; which was fun to think about given the time-loop story. Miss those days, the people and the place. Happy Groundhog Day! 🦫

On a serious note, in order to make the case that “authoritarianism is worse” you have to exist in a democratic system where people who aren’t homeowners are allowed to win elections and aren’t hounded out of that system with hysterical accusations and slander when they try to engage in it.

I vividly remember being taught in school that August was in autumn, and went to war with UK pals about it, only for them to prove me wrong - and now I know why! The met office be damned; Happy Spring! 🇮🇪

For all that these Reform racists bang on about losing our ‘British culture’ it often seems that as a nation Britain is absolutely intent on wrecking our cultural life you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

You can’t invoke Thatcher in 2025, that’s bananas. That’s wacky if you’re a Tory, let alone Labour. Look what she’s done. Look at the fucking state of everything. At one point she said Blair was her greatest creation. It’s not true anymore, her greatest creation is now Starmer.

This article is 113 years old and we are still not doing enough to fight against climate change! Morever: ⚠ 99.9% of scientists say that the climate crisis is 99.9% anthropogenic and there are still 50% of Americans who are climate deniers.

It would be nice if for once this Labour government made a “hard decision” that was actually in the interest of the public rather than balance sheets. But no, we’ll freeze your granny one week, and eviscerate the planet the next. But please do appreciate how hard these decisions are for us.
