This is real patriotism.

All the "is Miliband popular/competent/acceptable after losing 11 years ago" is missing the most crucial point: that the most dramatically satisfying ending is that the guy who lost the election after which everything went wrong comes back and fixes it all. Ask Chekov. Ask Aristotle

On that day, the fash 'peacefully expressed' themselves by doing sig heils and throwing full beer bottles and cans, fireworks and trash at us while we were kettled outside a Trafalgar tourist shop for several hours. This has, for some strange reason, never been mentioned in the papers

This is fucking mental. Protesters in the UK can now be convicted of criminal damage but be sentenced as terrorists despite never having been convicted of a terror offence and without the jury knowing anything about it. Just a un unbelievable abuse of power by Justice Johnson.

Wes Streeting just gave your address, your ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, if you are cis or trans, if you've ever had an abortion, an addiction, are disabled in anyway and a million other pieces of info about you, to a far right tech company the UK government has no control over.

Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse. I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence. Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

NHS England confirms: Palantir staff can access patient data

"I don't want to be Prime Minister but we can't let Wes Streeting be Prime Minister" is a message I can back.

Billionaires, and the politicians they fund, will do everything they can to strip workers of their rights.

Hey man, you need to stop taking my fucking videos, cropping off my handle, splicing it with other clips (which you presumably also stole), and then slapping your name on it. It’s one thing to download my TikTok and post it instead of just sharing here, but we’re hitting lawyer territory here.

Monday election update: 1 Reform councillor fired, 1 Reform councillor ran away, and 1 Reform councillor might not exist. Waveney Valley's George Alexander Jonathan Boyd is an AI generated image. No A-V, no sightings, no trace except for agent's address. Why aren't the news media all over this?

Extremely funny that this, from 1627, is indistinguishable in message from modern RETVRN / masculinity podcasters.

I hope Reform councils fucking collapse on top of their POS Reform voters. Racism is the only reason anyone has to vote for these bin bags.

In less than 24 hours, Reform have lost 2 councillors. One for holocaust denial and the other because he didn’t fancy it after all (honestly).

The Onion ass headline

The one very important lesson from Wales and Scotland that should be read from these Senedd and Holyrood results is that explicitly progressive and left-wing politics is deeply deeply popular, extremely electable, and *the* only way to successfully stop Reform UK and the rise of fascism.

Sky News projecting a national vote share for Reform of 27%, based on results so far. That’s four points down on what they achieved in local elections last year. Somewhat of a counter to the prevailing narrative. More evidence that Reform appears to have peaked.

BBC News saying Reform have "come out of nowhere". No, they haven't. First they were UKIP, and then they were The Brexit Party, and with every incarnation, they've been amplified and boosted by the BBC, with Farage given record appearances on Question Time and other panel shows. #Reform #BBCqt

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Results so far: • We don't know much yet • Bad but not worst-case scenario for Labour • Good for Reform, but in line with polls • Too early to say much on Greens • Don't jump to conclusions on Lab/Reform switchers • These are bad results for Tories! Whatever they say! • We don't know much yet

My take is that Reform have replaced the Tories in Essex. Until 2024 all 18 MPs in Essex were Tory. As were Councils Next GE maybe they’ll all be Reform. But this doesn’t show/demonstrate/prove anything for Reform. The Tories have just moved to Reform. It’s a not a shock

Important data point here: “A sharp fall in Labour's performance is accompanied more often by an above average Green performance than it is by a strong Reform performance”. The Greens have already hurt Labour even before any direct gains.

John Curtis corrects BBC narrative. Greens, not Reform taking Labour votes & seats. Reform taking Tory votes. Good people: don’t despair- this isn’t a bad morning; the game is still on. To continue the Green surge support, join, vote @greenparty.org.uk . If you already do, consider monthly donation.

Abolish the voter ID thing, it's needless, it's suppression, and as ewa points out up her thread, that suppression disproportionately affects those of working age.

it's that time again! NOTE that you can find these pesky A/I folders in multiple locations now! I'll provide the paths I've found below C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Updates (which folder it's in changes every update) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16 (cont. in next post)

Great news! Botswana has decriminalised homosexuality with the repeal of its colonial-era sodomy law. 🏳️‍🌈🇧🇼

This is handy. People can now enter their postcode on the Electoral Commission website to find out if an election is taking place in their area, who's standing for election, where their polling station is, and who to contact if they need help

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

For anyone interested in the anti-trans movement in the UK, here's a thread of all my investigative work on the topic. 🧵 Starting with Bayswater Part 1: How the Tories let abusive anti-trans parents dictate education policy www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024...

OST "A single thought" from #cdrama #PursuitOfJade entered the rave scene

This is the line EVERYONE needs to take. Art is art is art and the moment we budge on that is the moment they get the foot in the door to policing *everything*. Open a book. Read some history. Look at what's happening around us. Art* cannot hurt people — censorship absolutely can, has, and will.

This is the most anti-AI teaser for an upcoming animated film you'll ever see. Laika is shoving it in our faces that this is HANDCRAFTED stop-motion - and I'm here for it.

If you read a fanfic for even 5 minutes and it makes you crack a smile, leave a comment telling the author that. something as simple as "this made me smile" matters a lot when majority of writers are either getting no comments or botted AI hate comments suicidebaiting on AO3

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

hot take: women are less likely to use AI because we’re quick to clock flattery as a tool of manipulation

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

swear to god nothing has radicalized like me like watching rich men burn our planet, dry up our freshwater and poison our kids to invent the world’s most powerful technology — a robot chick who laughs at all their jokes

This is something ALL of us should really know about: Martha's Law: a hospital patient, a relative or nurse can demand you be reassessed by a different team. Also Jess's Rule: guidance for GPs that they must 'reflect, review and rethink' if a patient attends 3 appts with the same symptoms.

Bring back the ancient knowledge

I can’t really articulate how good it feels to see this guy on the international stage. Also he makes Bhangra look way more easy than it is.
