It’s quite hard to see how we are going to achieve a post capitalist warp drive enabled intergalactic civilisation at this point. Really need to get our shit together.

"The British Prime Minister has pledged to stay out of any offensive action against Iran and will refuse Trump access to British bases for his horror 'Power Plant Day' operation" www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

I hope at the very least someone in the US administration has pointed out to Trump that if you do nuke Iran you can’t take it back a few days later.

This is the ultimate test for a constitutional order. Either constitutional mechanisms are used to check and balance this, and remove him from office, or they are not. For there can be no greater test for any constitution.

At the Scottish Conservative manifesto launch. Russel Findlay told me to take off my anonymous v mask & im wearing the joker makeup underneath it.

I’ve just seen someone criticise the use of “gay” as an insult by calling it “lame” and I’m just sat here shaking my head.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump Nuked Iran. What a time to be alive.

The whole idea of war crimes being war crimes is you're supposed to not do them, because we all accept that they are crimes. Someone says "do the war crime" and you say "no". Pretty sure this was once widely accepted even on a superficial level. The idea of a dilemma isn't really supposed to figure

20 Bensons and a packet of Blue Rizlas please. Ooh, and some Frazzles and some chocolate milk please. And two Magnums.

If I were Scottish Labour my key message would be the NHS always improves when there’s a Labour government. It’s basically true and no other party can claim that. Also it’s not asking voters to like them, just to do what’s necessary for the future of our most treasured institution.

Hannah Spencer is in touch with the public’s view that MPs are out of touch. But according to experts the public are wrong about how in touch MPs actually are. So while most MPs are in touch with the public, which is good, Spencer being in touch with the public on this issue is actually bad. Got it?

Hot cross buns and chocolate orange mini eggs for breakfast

Sending humans to the moon is very cool. What a weird time to be alive, so much shit going on at the same time as something so awesome.

People talked a lot about how Labour were unwilling to be honest during the UK election about the financial constraints they’d face in government. It looks like the same applies to the holyrood election.

I see centrists complaining that bluesy people pile on more than X. Its tricky, would I rather be surrounded by lefties who can’t get on for niche ideological reasons or a bunch of fascists united by their enjoyment of child sexual abuse?

Have to say they’re never going to come up with a better name for a storm than “Dave”

Doesn’t concern me, never touch the stuff

Free bus travel is a good policy

The media the other week: Reform UK Scotland are being very careful to present a reasonable, centre-right platform in this election and avoid centring the culture wars Reform UK Scotland today: Would you like to see our turbo racism, anti-immigrant billboard?

Rewatching Andor. It is very good tv

The photo the bbc have used to illustrate this story is top notch. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour kicks off its election campaign by promising not to cut benefits. Truly inspirational stuff.

Malcolm Fuckofford

I don't think anything will ever be able to top this one theonion.com/jurisprudenc...

Malcolm Offord yet another piece of evidence in my longstanding theory that Reform are just bad people.

It would be very funny if Malcolm Offord had to quit.

John Swinney has said Malcolm Offord is "unfit to be the leader of any political party, unfit to be a Member of the Scottish Parliament". It follows reports the Reform Scotland leader made a homophobic joke at an event in 2017.

Here is the "joke" itself in this news report. It is homophobic but I do think it would be clearer and nore inclusive to describe it as homophobic and racist. The homophobic intent of the joke wouldn't take this form without its conscious racialised intent too. bsky.app/profile/laur...

oh fuck they were being told to vote green by their overbearing white working-class husbands

Very interesting to compare Wales to Scotland.

"I'm doing my part!"

Got his phone stolen. Did he? Aye?

Looks like Starmer is going to assist Trump in committing a war crime.

My purely vibes based speculation is that this is the excuse China needs to do some economic warfare and apply diplomatic pressure to the EU. These strikes would be very obviously designed to cause mass civilian casualties when desalination stops due to lack of power.

Not loving the point of origin here, Prime Minister.

They never learn

If you vote Reform you will be voting in support of racist candidates. But I guess Reform voters know that already.

Harold Shipman was the most famous GP in the country.

Being a member of the human race is very frustrating at times. Humans are wonderful and things could be bloody amazing if we could just get our shit together.

Just seen Trump’s pearl harbour chat. Fucking hell I have never cringed so much in my life.

While this Labour government has had plenty of disappointing moments, this really is huge. Campaigners and experts have always told me this is the quickest and most effective way to immediately reduce child poverty. It took too long to get here but this is big.

Swinney has a clear lead over Sarwar and Offord on most key leadership traits. For more 👉 www.ipsos.com/en-uk/favour...
