Autism is one of the greatest things about my brain. Paracetamol or no, I feel for America's kids, and am desperately angry on their behalf.

Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness The public believe in fairness & mutual respect, not this cruel Trumpian policy that would leave us all poorer. We are not America - we must resist this dangerous turn in British politics.

Really looking forward to Labour Conference! Delegate pass arrived yesterday.

I just bloody love Streatham

Sure, why not, the students can have AI write their essays, the lecturers can have AI mark the essays, and then the university can give out degrees without anyone having had to do anything at any stage whatsoever. Everyone wins, no possible downside.

That's SUNDANCE (s=singular + anag of *nuanced) #RIP Robert Redford

It's Windy and Autumnal so here's a summer round up.

Idk, I think if the person who runs and manipulates a platform is outright inciting violence then I think maybe MPs should stop using that platform.

I don't think it is callous of me to observe that it is weird to see the PM of the UK, the leader of the Opposition of the UK, and the ex UK PM all putting out solemn and devastated tweets about the death of a podcaster who is only a big name if you're constantly on Twitter

The year is 2104. The Labour Party have just returned to power after decades in the wilderness. Their first appointment is an A.I. Peter Mandelson. He is sacked three days later.

everything i read about Your Party in Scotland is just ‘we need a party exactly like the Scottish Greens but without the track record of sustained electoral success’

This Deputy Leadership election,,, good grief!

Really struggling to work out why anyone gives a damn about Angela Rayner mispaying tax *on the advice of a lawyer*.

Just seen Peter Kyle on campus! None of my colleagues were impressed with this information

As someone who's pathological hatred of United is a product of growing up during the Ferguson era, this is everything I could have ever dreamed of

Lesson learnt: do not fuck with Dartmoor because you could at 17.

It’s no coincidence that both mini roundabouts have been graffitied with red crosses, and flags have appeared right outside the new mosque in Pinhoe Exeter

Bye bye to my perm, we had a good four years!

I'm so EXCITED for the new Taylor album!

the idea that the Jewish people have a special duty to be humane because they were the victims of genocide is in itself an anti-semitic one.

Motion to Labour Conference submitted! Let's hope that it'll get debated...

Labour is coming for your wife (and her girlfriend).

This paper illustrates why it matters much more if Robert Jenrick says something intolerant than if Nigel Farage says the same thing - centre right politicians have much more influence on social norms policing tolerant behaviour than radical right politicians

never take freedom of the press or access to news for granted. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

if I ever go properly "screaming about nothing in particular in the street" mad it will be due to having spent too much time having read about the opinions of men who have absolutely never cared about women's rights for one moment in their lives but decided to pretend just for the sake of racism

Anyone on here going to Lab conference?

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire. It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.
