“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

All I can say at this stage is… FINALLY! 💥

The absolute insanity of appallingly stupid laws passed by technical know-nothings. Just wait. As soon as this new vulnerability starts being exploited, firms such as banks will restrict or remove services for UK users, because they're on the hook for losses. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Frozen waterfall vs human

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Math is hard

That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

If I could travel back in time to, say, 2010 & tell everyone ‘a reality tv star appears to be establishing a dictatorship in the US alongside the now-owner of Twitter and ppl who believe in Jewish space lasers & don’t believe in vaccines’ what would we have said?

NEW: How many dependants do migrants actually bring with them? Farage and co have claimed that “most” migrants to Britain are dependants and are not productive members of the economy. This is demonstrably false. But what are the real numbers? 1/8 🔗 www.thetimes.com/article/48e9...

💥 I’ve just signed the petition calling for a “National Commission on Electoral Reform” - Will YOU sign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/nc...

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Can we stop calling the Labour Party progressive now? It looks like they’re about to restart private finance initiative projects which the Tories stopped in 2018 because they are terrible for public finances. Read that again - the Tories stopped this, and it looks like Starmer will restart them 🚨

British politicians who choose the US led by Trump over shared security interests with Europe are making a colossal strategic error, I fear.

Walking the dog. Like I do every day. She pooped. Like she does every day. I picked it up with a little baggie. Like I do every day. But today, instead of waiting to toss the bag of fresh, steaming dogshit in a trash can at home, I left it on the hood of a double-parked Cybertruck. Where it belongs.

Alright, who made this!!?🤣😹

Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico for 425 years. Thanks Britannica!

One of my favourite cartoons ever...

Sounds like Ukraine held out for 3 years against Putin, only to be beaten in 3 weeks by Trump. His remarks today selling the Ukrainian people out to Russia were extraordinary, in the worst way possible.

When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue.

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

First newborn babies tested for over 200 genetic conditions as world-leading study begins in Sheffield. ❤️

The delights of British train travel - book a seat but when you turn up the carriage does not exist.

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

This reads like the opening paragraph of a novel so bleakly dystopian you'd put it down after five pages

They never expect us to fight back! We should surprise them more often!!

A 71-year-old woman has died after her oxygen supply was abruptly cut off in response to the United States’ freeze on USAID funding. Pe Kha Lau, a refugee from Myanmar living in a displacement camp in neighboring Thailand, died only four days after she was forcibly discharged from a…

#TheArchers

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react to children—and even more by how they treat the ones suffering from hunger.

Forgive my violence, but I want to slap both Helen and Tom silly for: 1. Drinking tea while standing amid the poopiness. 2. Discussing Clarrie & Susan cleaning it up. Too cheap to hire professional cleaners. Dumping it on women over age 60. Go to hades, Helen & Tom. #TheArchers

How the air friar was invented...

That only makes it more of a challenge.

At the very pinnacle of cool is surely Ed Bishop as Colonel Straker from 1970’s UFO.

Here is a nice mushroom

Hmm, new coping skill to add to the toolbox my therapist told me to create. 😂🤣

Keep it going. Spray paint is your friend.

🔥 Well... this is now over 88,000 signatures! Just one final push to get it over that magic 100,000 and get a parliamentary debate? Why not! Link --> petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

when writing about the rise of British populism it’s worth bearing in mind that voters still prefer Starmer to Farage… ….and even prefer Ed Davey to Farage
