Abolish the Home Office

Important 🧵 on the reality of Christofascist influence in the UK . It's far more than you think. And they spread it by adopting 'respectable' prejudices like transphobia as wedge issues. Trans people have been shouting about this for years and being ignored.

can we just circle back to the part when the British establishment wholeheartedly embraced the Cass report and the rest of the world looked at it and collectively said "ew, what?"

Like for many people once you admit Charlie was obviously racist and deeply misogynist then suddenly a lot of other people who are around you and may even be deeply loved by you suddenly meet that definition as well

I’m at the bank. •Lady wants to make a withdrawal, no card, only knows last four digits of her account number. •Man wants to make a withdrawal. No card, has an expired ID. •Woman is going to Portugal tomorrow and demands Portuguese money

One of my sadder memories from the U.S. was attending a union meeting and finally realising that many of my fellow stewards didn't see me or others like me as human like them. and that there were no words I could use to change that. It was very weird.

Also I don't think we should have any discussions *about* immigration before we come to an agreement that we are human beings. Not economic units, not enemy combatants - people. Until then it's all moot

The state we're in UK full-time employee median wage, £30,816. 4.5m jobs pay less than the real Living Wage. 1.17m workers on zero-hour contracts. 34% of Universal Credit claimants are in work. 16m Britons live in poverty. Can't build economy on poverty. Must increase worker share of GDP.

i think the key to understanding a lot of establishment discourse is that basically only the left and liberals are capable of being viewed as subjects capable of judgement which is why GOP rule is essentially treated as a force of nature

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

"You'll be alright, what are you complaining about" first of all, I am allowed to be concerned for others, thank you very much, second of all, what makes you think I'm safe?

people on bsky just wouldnt get the joke, or whatever...

so many of these quotes/statements should really have a follow-up of 'can you please elaborate on what you mean by that?'

so for the first time in 20 years, it doesn't really matter what car i have, yet the options still kind of suck. open to suggestions, should be available in uk, comfy and a decent size. suv, cuv or sedan/saloon.

the youtube algo blessed me www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajD2...

This is bait.

i'm pretty sure public services could be vastly improved without raising taxes. also, raising taxes on a population that is already taxed pretty highly for little return in a stagnant economy with like 20 years of effectively negative wage growth, isn't going to be good actually.

what is the point of laptop bags that don't have a pocket for chargers/accessories?

this is bait

I was assured Trump couldn't mess with BLS, or the Fed, that would be a bridge too far for the markets, while DOGE was dismantling various agencies.

*lips on microphone* Sucking ham palace

the pace at which bsky millennials are becoming indistinguishable from boomers is accelerating. please stop.

Anyone of my mutual in Germany right now? I need some assistance in sourcing something in Berlin.

just seeing on the internet that people only just noticed lex fridman is full of shit...

I think headlines should be more explicit, whilst yes it is to view porn, it’s actually to use basic functions of websites you could happily do prior, but now can’t, like DMs on here. All thanks to legislation based on lies. None of this makes kids safer.

new transit custom hybrid quick test drive verdict... i think it sucks actually. so disappointed.

Bari’s key insight as an entrepreneur is that there is a bottomless demand for rich people to have their existing opinions sold back to them as forbidden knowledge

cant argue with this

been driving a 2021- transit custom a bit this week, and they're better to drive than i remember. should be getting a brand new hybrid one next week, really curious to see how it compares.

This is a 2 door estate emergency This is not a drill #weirdcarBS

20 years of economic and wage stagnation, plus significant inflation will do that to a population.

yes

i know one of my mutuals is an electrician in the us but who...

🚨🚨🚨 Rep. Wasserman Schultz just toured “Alligator Alcatraz” and came out shaking: “It’s 34 people per cage. They drink, brush, and defecate in the same tiny unit. The photos don’t come close to the stench of it.” We’re packing human beings into kennel conditions, then calling it justice.

Tell me the electrics are completely fucked without telling me.

What do you guys do for a living?

seriously, how many billions of hours are lost because outlook is trash

I'm ashamed to admit it took me a few seconds to get the joke.

Guys, this is a standard staple of every authoritarian regime ever You call the Secret Police on your neighbour for listening to Radio Free Europe to stop them mowing the lawn on Sunday morning

just saying openly 'it all went to shit after the civil rights movement'

i assume some of you know this pain and may have answers... how does one make the ms outlook ui tolerable?

Officially been at my new office job for 5 days. I have been first in and unlocked the office on 2 of those 5 days. I'm not even sure if anyone else is coming in today.

Guys the system prompt on github for Grok is not an accurate or real-time reflection of what it actually is. Grok didn't go Mechahitler until 2 days after the last change. Musk bullshits constantly, this would be more transparent than any of his cos have been about anything, ever.

Physically hurts me to see this being framed as a problem with LLMs; it’s like my grandpa saying email is trash technology because he fell for a phishing scam.

he's been a public figure for over a decade, completely unhinged since 2020, 'fed usaid into a wood chipper' weeks ago, did the nazi salutes, and 1000 other things this year alone. there is no conversation to be had.

Due for UK introduction in 1999, Ford issued pre-launch material for the Lincoln LS at the 1998 NEC Show. Six RHD UK-specification evaluation cars were built. However, months before launch, Ford bought Volvo and the Lincoln project axed. The evaluation cars were sold to the public; two survive.
