can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

This is why they didn't have the face recognition tech at the Robinson rally. It would've spotted all their off duty coppers

Abuse of detainees amounting to “disgraceful, criminal misconduct”, racist & misogynist comments, & support for Tommy Robinson… The good old institutionally racist, sexist & homophobic Met that keeps Londoners safe is in fine form I see. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

😱 This is what happens when Greens lead! Since @davidbelliard.bsky.social from @lesecologistes.fr became Paris’ deputy mayor in 2020, cars were deprioritized, cycling boosted & pollution dropped. 🌻 Cleaner air, safer streets: this is what we want, at a local, national and European level.

I bought a pair of heavy duty gardening gloves for trimming back the bramble patch. Just used them to rescue a hedgehog. Heard squealing outside. Went out to see a cat scarper. Checked where it had been & found a small hodger wedged into the rabbit fencing.

The shoe's on the other foot now, huh??

good news, everybody!

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

Your beloved has brought you a plate of eels. This is good news! Right? RIGHT? Well...in premodern England eel was a common enough meal that it sometimes got used to disguise poison. What's that, you ask? Is it it time for a thread about murder-by-eels? Yes. Yes it is. 1/5 🗃️🧪

"I imagined something in my own head and it was terrifying."

This is utterly horrific. Literally blocking the ability of people to object to nature being trashed and destroyed. What a lovely govt we have!! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If Labour think the Green strategy is to be “all things to all people,” then they’re in trouble. We’re pro-trans rights, anti-genocide, pro-environment, anti-racist. All the things they have failed to be but certainly not “all things to all people.”

Maybe talk to constituents like me instead of talking amongst yourselves.

Tenth anniversary celebrations will make this the biggest Edinburgh Diwali yet It is ten years since the capital began celebrating light, culture, and community and this year Edinburgh Diwali marks the anniversary on 2 November.  Organisers say this will be a “spectacular celebration” with a…

The "Don't introduce digital ID cards" petition is now at 2.25m signatures. It was getting about 20 signatures a second all of Friday & into Saturday afternoon, then dropped to about 10/s. It's now pootling along steadily at about 5/s. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Damnit, Co-Op, why is the vegan Ben & Jerry's the only one that's not 35% off?? 😭😡😭

Weird how this *remains relevant*

24hr old ducklings free solo up what to them is the side of a house, using only their tiny feet. Amazing little things. Man, I miss bouldering. Stupid migraines. youtu.be/tuApVU6yKuA?...

Jerry O'Connel is disappointing. A New Yorker with Irish & Polish family stands with a genocidal state how?? Between him and John Rhys Davies my Sliders DVDs are never seeing the light if day again.

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

This is brilliant and adorable.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

Well don't I feel stupid

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Happy Birthday @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

This is an intrusive and authoritarian scheme that will only increase mass surveillance and allow the government to target marginalised communities. No money to support vital services, but Labour can find hundreds of millions for this, which appeared nowhere in their manifesto.

It's been averaging around 200 signatures a second for much of the day. I honestly thought it would have slowed down by now. Am amazed the page hasn't crashed yet.

labour: we want to restore public trust in government. labour: we are going to implement mandatory digital id after we've spent 18 months attacking every single marginalised and vulnerable demographic in the country.

I have never heard or seen so many Disney ads. I've definitely never heard a Disney ad on Planet Rock. Did something happen recently... 🤔

"A digital ID makes it much harder for people to work in the illegal economy."** Whut? How?? Are crime bosses asking for ID now? You know a policy is BS when they're excusing it with obvious nonsense. **Heard on the radio as I walked into the room so no idea who it was.

The whole concept of ID is actually quite complex and needs to be treated with expertise and care, not bodged by whatever tech company agrees to do it for mates rates while paying some kind of kickback. Look at PPE scandals and tell me that wouldn't happen...!

To those asking, the NHS has misused gender care waiting lists to target families with social services referrals - and even police action - for doing something lawful, and in much of the world entirely orthodox, out of love for their child. It's ideologically driven targeting by the State and evil.

This is an important one, folks. The question isn't how ID cards would improve efficiency under a humane and sensible government, it's how they would be misused by, say, Nigel Farage to target brown people or queer people or disabled people or just white migrants like me who are a little weird.

The @scottishgreens.org introduced a bill which will bring in rent controls and give renters new rights and protections. Our MSPs are now fighting hard to make it even stronger and stop other parties watering it down. Want an eco-socialist party that delivers real change? Join our movement! 👇
