While all this hissing at the Pope & Trump-as-Jesus crap is in the news, the Trump administration will be carrying on as usual with all the horrible skeevy anti-citizen, anti-US stuff.

Celebrating the rich heritage and invaluable contribution of London’s Sikh community. Happy Vaisakhi to Sikh Londoners and all those celebrating around the world.

We’re building a budget for 8.5 million New Yorkers. That means every community has a seat at the table. Yesterday, I met with D9 Harlem Votes to discuss what racial equity and economic justice mean in practice: investment in housing, dignified jobs, & government that reflects the people it serves.

European Union 's "good ally" - as Kaja Kallas (@kajakallas.bsky.social) praises #Israel - killed 4 people in this attack. "The farewell of 3-year-old Yahya al-Malahi, killed when Israeli occupation forces bombed a police vehicle in al-Nafaq Street in #Gaza City." www.instagram.com/reel/DXHZX2-...

In the 1930s, Oswald Mosley claimed to be a patriot, while his British Union of Fascists was secretly funded by the Italian government. We are just beginning to grasp how much of the far right in the UK today has been funded by Viktor Orbán and Russian oil money. Their "patriotism" is always a con.

Maddow: All the people who came out to protest at Stonewall when the Trump administration pulled down the pride flag, "today you won."

Pope Leo XIV: “I am not afraid of the Trump administration, nor of raising my voice firmly in proclaiming the message of the Gospel — my duty is not to fit into a partisan agenda, but to be a beacon of revealed truth, even when that truth is uncomfortable for centers of power”

Crispin Odey was a prominent backer & profiteer of #Brexit & has faced both personal & professional allegations (& consequences) of misconduct. His Wiki entry is an interesting read. It's not surprising, I suppose, that someone without business integrity also has none in personal relations.

My response to the Southport inquiry: the one lesson we definitely did learn is that some idiot spreading misinformation online can lead to widespread riots among knuckle-dragging racist fuckwits.

Ever heard of viral persistence, guess not. www.earth.com/news/why-lon...

Daily Mail must be absolutely baffled about who they are supposed to be attacking at this point.

News reported in the UK as “NEW RAIN PANEL CAN NOW ALSO GENERATE ENERGY IN THE SUN!”

Between the Royal Albion Hotel fire and the coach station move, Pool Valley businesses have faced huge disruption. I have raised these concerns with the council for months, with no result. I hope the area will not overlooked for the investment it urgently needs 👇 www.theargus.co.uk/news/2601024...

"Posts highlighted by Hope Not Hate included Mitula’s suggestion that “60-70%” of transgender people were paedophiles, that he would “never touch a Jewish woman”, and his use of the N-word." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

*Even some conservative 'Christians'

I mean even the Romans were able to recognize when their Emperors were crazy, and they didn’t even have to deal with his social media posts shoved in their face 10 times a day!

It makes me nostalgic to see politicians retire in the face of sexual assault claims instead of running for President.

It’s National Gardening Day 🦊 Meet and Greet 🦊 Well today is right up my alley One of my FAVORITE things to do is to play in the dirt! There is NO better way to release your frustrations than pulling weeds !! Do you have a flower or vegetable garden? Or both? We will be okay Love Foxy

Absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of Moya Brennan. Someone I had the pleasure of meeting occasionally in recent years. An immense talent, national treasure and all-round fantastic human being. Her loss will be felt immeasurably in her home of Gweedore. youtu.be/4zHTcxVjX0I?...

Watercolour illustrations from Mary Gartside’s An Essay on a New Theory of Colours (1808). Hand-made and unique to each volume, the images have been deemed some of the earlier examples of abstraction in painting. More in the post on the site — publicdomainreview.org/collection/g...

Out today!

How about giving a few quid to support a new blue plaque in London celebrating Black history? Only takes a minute to do your good deed for the day 🗃️

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵

Just seen the Reform UK Ltd party political broadcast from Honest Bob Jenrick 🤦‍♂️ Shameless lies, ridiculous claims of enormous savings and a xenophobic attack on foreigners whilst attempting to con pensioners. Never heard so much 💩 in a single speech. It should have come with a health warning.

So if he posted an image of himself multiplying five loaves of bread and two fish into a feast for thousands, would he claim it was a depiction of himself as a caterer?

His thread has reminded me of Twitter when it was Twitter. Maybe Bluesky really can make it.

If you are not following @jonworth.eu then today might be the day to change that.

“For more than an hour, several employees said, workers in the facility were instructed to continue fetching totes, picking items off shelves and loading them onto trucks for delivery as the man lay dead, and management figured out their next steps.” This is a microcosm of the US in the Trump era.

Holy crap. “The Antichrist.”

If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.

“To some, a woman sat in a wheelchair snogging her boyfriend is akin to seeing a fish on land. It just ain’t natural.” I loved interviewing women for WHO WANTS NORMAL? about their experiences with dating, love, and sex. I wrote this piece for Elle about it: www.elle.com/uk/life-and-...

I'm raging. Those fucking Mé Féin-er blockaders went and vandalised the memorial to that poor young lad, Johnny Santos, who was crushed by the cement truck on Abbey Street less than two weeks ago. They're just such irredeemable cunts.
