Ask Starmer how well this worked out for him and UK Labour. Centrists are so embarrassing bc Centrism isn't a thing, they're on the right. US centrist Dems are fighting the actual left of their party harder than they ever fought Trump or actual fascism.

Aside from anything else, if the guy you appointed as ambassador to the USA turned out to have been a literal spy passing state secrets to the world's most famous pedophile, I don't think anyone would think that wasn't a resigning matter. That's a genuine political scandal.

Dont support Ford. Rubbish vehicles as well.

Throughout the 16 years that Orbán was in power in Hungary, Greens supported those who were fighting back against his autocratic changes. 🌈We will continue to support our partners, including civil society, in Hungary, until democracy and the rule of law, is fully restored.

How depressingly predictable. The First Minister should acknowledge how wrong he was to give someone like this one of the highest posts in Government.

Imagine the UK govt telling us all to not run our fans/AC or use our drinking water because data centres take the bulk of the electrical grid and potable water. We are grossly underreacting to the danger data centres pose on our lives and our resources in the UK. If it's us vs them, they need to go.

Edinburgh Council has passed a motion across party lines calling on the UK Government to withdraw the EHRC Code of Practice and take legislative action to protect trans people's human rights. We would like to highlight this moving speech by Cllr and SNP group leader @lesleymacinnessnp.bsky.social.

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

Is this Europe you speak of in the room with us right now? Because I live in Europe and have never heard this sentiment. Not once anywhere in Europe. This take is so insane. Who has a furnace in Europe? That's an American thing. People have boilers here. Lots of people have AC if they can afford it.

The regular vindication about being right on Kate Forbes' character, still satisfying. SNP members hold your party accountable for this and other BS.

Please hurry up rainstorms it's still much too warm.

Today saw an important step towards a pause on the construction of hyperscale data centres in Scotland. At First Minister's Questions the First Minister agreed to consider Scottish Green calls for a pause, following significant concerns around their environmental impact.

Edinburgh council just agreed to condemn the proposed EHRC Guidance as discriminatory against trans people, unworkable and potentially incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.

I'm sure he genuinely thought this was a helpful/clever post. Imagine being such an a hole when even places with AC have people dying right now because it's a heat wave beyond physical limits not some protest against AC. The arrogant ignorance and cruelty of American culture never fails to astound.

Kicking off graduations in style! ⚽ Today, our UofG organist played ‘Yes Sir, I Can Boogie’ as graduates processed out, in honour of Scotland’s World Cup match tonight against Brazil. Wishing all the best to our new graduates and the Scotland team! #TeamUofG #UofGgrad26

Albania has a population around 2 million people and 1 million have been protesting every night. Incredible and impressive. This is how it's done.

Guess we'll do this on repeat until all of Mandelson's friends in govt like James Purnell here are outed and burned reputationally in inevitable scandal. This is Labour everyone.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

Really appreciated the chance to meet campaigners against the rash of data centres outside the parliament today. Join our e-action calling for a moratorium on these huge buildings: greens.scot/datacentres

Meet James Purnell. Andy Burnham's chief of staff. In earlier incarnation, he supported the Iraq invasion; was chairman of Labour Friends of Israel; said that Winter Fuel Allowance and free bus passes should not be sacred; supported PFI, lie-detector tests for benefit claimants. What next?

Three Norwegian Researchers Found Guilty of Misconduct in Transgender Health Research trans-express.lgbt/p... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Note that Norway's Gender Clinic, and this study was a major influence on the Cass Report. Cass was directly influenced by SEGM members, several of whom sat on the Cass governance group. This leads to further serious questions on teh ethical validity and integrity of Cass.

Idk guys, the billionaires making slightly less money and we have a livable planet seems a better option than a death spiral for living things and billionaires have bigger unspendable piles of money. Can't we make billionaire status go extinct instead? Or are we just the most stupid species?

• Crackdowns on peaceful protest. • Support for Tory benefit cuts. • Blaming migrants for failing public services. This is Starmer’s legacy.

Look, I know it's easy to have a pop at Starmer, but that was an incredibly honourable resignation he was forced into kicking & screaming, & his words that everyone who disagreed with him was morally bankrupt & his appeasement of fascists & transphobes was for the good of the country was v. moving

He even gave a shoutout to racists in his resignation speech

Loving this luscious cloud cover keeping the heat at bay over much of Scotland this morning. 16 degrees w a high of 20 is doable.

My latest Substack is out now - where's the wealth going? A large part to tax havens and eventually the US, while workers pay and the country is left poorer. Reading Angus Hanton of @intergenerational.bsky.social nataliebennett.substack.com/p/change-eve...

I think we would be better off with clean water and affordable electricity than a Google that scans information and summarizes for us.

Communities are being left to battle billionaire big tech companies one planning application at a time. This is completely unsustainable, writes Mark Ruskell ✍️

Heard someone call the blatant lying by FIFA about World Cup match attendance as pretendance 😆

Join our call for a pause on massive data centres: greens.scot/datacentres There are lots of plans for huge data centres, using massive amounts of electricity, and while they're supposed to be 'green', they don't have to do an environmental impact assessment. Let's stop and decide what we want.

the SNP being down a seat because of Stephen Flynn’s arrogance feels like a bit of a sign of things to come

Scotland, we don't want these data centres here!

And we're supposed to believe that they're banning minors from social media for children's safety and trans women from women's spaces for women's safety when they're letting creeps walk around wearing the stalking glasses?

Switzerland did it. France have done it. It's time to get the US/Israeli Spy Agency Palantir out of Europe.

Trump and Kushner are so toxic, their attempt to take protected public land for resorts is sparking a widespread protest and greater calls for system change lasting many days now. Mon the Albanians! youtu.be/3cS2FZcoWPM?...

If the time period of academics losing their minds to AI is good for anything, let the lazy, work/idea stealing academics we all know are rampant in top positions in Univs, ruin their reputations/skills to it and have to finally retire. Oh no, AI wrote a plagiarised book and you put your name to it?

So glad I decided to grow tomatillos this year. 🌱 I was concerned about pollination so I put them at the end of the polytunnel near the doors. They are very easy to grow and the bees adore the flowers. I cannot wait to make chilli verde sauce for chicken chilli verde.

there needs to be a coordinated global effort among democracies to destroy this man's financial and social media empires and leave him impoverished and powerless

Whats so on the nose fucked up on mother Ghey’s media tour is that she is going around out of her way to lament Brianna’s life not her death

this may well be the defining joke of our era theonion.com/guy-who-suck...

I said as much in the Q&A, pointing out this pattern of mystification in his talk, asking why he didn't frame any of the phenomena he was describing in terms of a Marxist analysis of the ways in which tech companies are seizing the means of mental production to enrich a tiny power hungry minority +

Getting degrees over 5 years ago feels like getting under the safety blast door before the explosion. This isn't academia anymore. It's some unrecognisable AI monster. I would hate what university has become now. Been considering going back but it clealry wouldn't be to standard worthy of my time.

At the reflecting pool and guys this doesn't look right

It's v interesting watching much of the world shoring up, securing and bracing against the now baked in financial crash out of the US through uncontrollable greed/corruption. But what is the UK doing? It's going along with it, diving off the cliff and taking away human rights. It's beyond stupid.

If we ever find out the truth about Palantir's involvement with Labour, I suspect it'll be the biggest scandal in British political history. Think about how embarrassing the Mandelson emails were. That was the stuff they were willing to show you. Anything that mentioned Palantir was off limits.

It’s a passion of mine. I’m not doing it for the money

Albanians still not having it that grifters, Kushner and Trump think they can just "discover" and ruin a protected area for some grotesque development. Look at those fences. Go Albania. youtu.be/ZCSqBcxnvl8?...

We haven't learned anything about what social isolation did to kids. Six years after covid, we're still pushing them into smaller & smaller boxes INSTEAD OF REGULATING THE BILLIONAIRES.
