Reform say it is "disgusting and libellous" to suggest that Nigel Farage flirted with Hitler Youth when he was young. Here's how a former teacher at his school remembers it

Vaccines are one of the great public health success stories. They’ve saved millions of lives around the world. We cannot allow conspiracy theorists to undermine proven science.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

It’s fair to say, Trump’s visit didn’t go down too well…

The UK's housing is unaffordable for many. In the #Austrian capital, renters pay a third of what their counterparts do in #London. And they still have lots of high quality #SocialHousing. #Vienna #Wien #Austria #Rent #Renting #House #Housing #Home #Apartment www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The world fails to grapple with a 1.5°C *average* temperature increase compared to pre-industrial levels BUT Austria, for example, already has a 3.1°C increase. And it's accelerating. It may be too late already. But certainly if we don't grapple with #ClimateChange now, we are so fucked.

@goodlawproject.org It’s good to see The National responding to J.K. Rowling’s campaign of hatred. www.thenational.scot/news/2525321...

It used to be that the answer to your question was at the top of Google. Then it was below 5 sponsored links of rubbish. Now it's also below some made up AI garbage too

This is beautful. And so simple. Queer people are scared. This is all you have to do as a cis het person to help take some of that fear away.

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

@nadiaalmadatv.bsky.social Hey Nadia, welcome to Bluesky. I remember you winning Big Brother all those years ago. What a fabulous moment that was. Inspiring! And thank you for the work you are doing. Best wishes from Deanna in Austria.

The #Grünberg is a #mountain #UpperAustria in #Gmunden on #Traunsee lake, next to #Traunstein in the #Prealps. It is 984 metres above sea level and can be reached by #CableCar. #See #Berg #Gebirge #Austria #Österreich #Oberösterreich #Seilbahn #Gondola

This is why I switched to #Bluesky. #JayGraber has it right. And it is, at least for now, much less toxic than the site formerly known as #Twitter. youtu.be/EVYhNM-tGX0?...

Labour's 'fuck the young' policies bearing predictable electoral fruit.

The #Gleinkersee is a #mountain #lake in #UpperAustria in #SpitalAmPyhrn municipality near #Rossleithen & north of the #TotesGebirge mountains in the #Alps. It's surrounded by #Seespitz & #Präwald mountains. #See #Berg #Gebirge #Austria #Österreich #Oberösterreich #Nationalpark #Kalkalpen #Panorama

Canadian and Australian right wing leaders both lose their seats within weeks. Meanwhile UK Labour thinks going to the right is the way to win, even though the right reject them and the left are alienated by them. Read the f*ing room. More importantly, feel the threat from progressive voters.

“Only ten years ago we were the best in the world in the annual LGBTI Rights Ranking. We’re now 22nd... This is not just an embarrassment abroad – it’s also a tragedy at home for tens of thousands of people struggling to live lives of quiet dignity.” goodlaw.social/5mgp

This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled ‘Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.

The new #Römerbrücke, a covered #footbridge across the #River #Traun, connects #Wels in #UpperAustria with #Schleißheim. Built in a #Roman style, it is also a #bicycle #bridge. In Roman times Wels was called #Ovilava. #Austria #Österreich #Oberösterreich #Brücke #Radweg #Radroute #StadtWels

There it is. The clam before the storm.

When it comes to #car colours, folks in #Austria don't like variety. Favourite colours are black, white & grey.

I am loving this book, #Pompeii, by @wmarybeard.bsky.social. It was published some years ago, and I live in #Austria, but I managed to get a copy via the #Thalia bookstore. #MaryBeard writes very well and she is one of my favourite historians. And I find #Roman history fascinating.

The #Römerbrücke is almost ready to open. It's a covered #footbridge in the Roman style, with extensive use of #wood. Perfect for a #cycle too! It connects #Wels & #Schleißheim. #Holz #Brücke #Radweg #bridge #Traun #river #Fluss #WelsLand #Austria #UpperAustria #Österreich #Oberösterreich
