It really is just relentless the constant dehumanisation in this country. Prove you deserve to be here. Prove you deserve to be cared for. Prove your gender. Prove you deserve to have human rights. Prove you deserve to stay after a whole decade. It just chisels away at your humanity

I'm not sure Labour's current approach of adopting every position on racism simultaneously is going to do much to win over the Reform voters they covet so badly

You could tell this was coming too because very obviously, they spent their entire time in opposition getting increasingly enraged that nobody liked them and nobody was listening to them - it was all fantasies about how everyone would soon recognise how great they were, and no new ideas at all.

There are millions of spiders’ webs in the Fenland countryside this morning. Zoom in for garlands of tiny diamond-ish water droplets.

If I was an allegedly centrist Prime Minister of the UK who is facing being wiped out by fascists in a few years, I probably wouldn’t be building them infrastructure with which they can track & surveil citizens. But that’s probably just me.

Hey why did NZ bring in some pretty stringent earthquake safety rules anyway?

Reminder that NZ's also got a fucked up government right now

twitter (and its relation to my old job) was legitimately damaging to my mental and physical health. leaving the old job felt good, but leaving that hellsite has been transformative.

What's your sign?

lets go ghouls

The AfD qualified for three mayoral run-offs in cities in North Rhine-Westphalia today, and lost all by big margins. The lesson is not that we have overdone the AfD's rise, but that we do perhaps sometimes underestimate the counter-mobilisation effects - including in east Germany, incidentally.

The capture of Labour by its far-right is really accelerating it towards just saying the real thing conservatives are angry about, which is that they don't get to have slaves anymore.

Deporting people is bad, says man who is deporting people.

Cardiff Transformed Very good to meet the new Leader of the Greens 💚💚 in England, @zackpolanski.bsky.social Good debate, plenty to build on. Key messages: get out & build communities; unity is strength; inclusion / defend minorities under attack; FOR a left social programme; real independence.

This October I'll be doing #October. Each day of the month I'll be living my life as normal and taking on no extra work. 🙌🏻

Well done keith

I don’t want to give a fuck about the Labour Party I just want to see them destroyed. Get rid of the cunts.

I recognised that the episode of Foundation I'm watching is filmed in Lanzarote because there's a Doctor Who episode with the Fifth Doctor and Peri filmed there, and they use the same locations 🤓

Wretched entertainment

this is crude to say but starmer could goose step out on stage, throw a nazi salute & order every immigrant rounded up into camps, & it wouldn't convince a single fascist to vote for him, because what they want isn't rational. a far-right party would simply say "we'll do that but more & faster"

The PS2 2001 Holiday line-up was actually incredible, and even more so when you realize how beloved some of these games are now.

Every morning we learn what stupid, destructive shit Trump's done, and every afternoon we learn what embarrassing self-own Starmer's fallen arse first into

Fascinating world of #ancient glass: this marvellous #Roman facet-cut glass beaker was found intact in a burial in Arae Flaviae/Rottweil. Colourless, faceted cut glass vessels became very popular in the second half of the 1st c. AD. They presumably… 🧵1/2. 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology ##findsfriday

Labour: we don't need strategy, just tactics Starmer: check out my tactics, guys *shits self and falls over*

Hard to think of a single policy that will unite every single disparate interest group in the UK against a government at once than mandatory ID cards.

Take comfort in that everyone hates Starmer the left the right and even his wife

Single digit approval rating incoming.

Bloody Keith

You can find muck just about anywhere there are muckspunge pools. Muckspunge is kinda brown and grows taller and fatter than me. Believe me, you can't miss it.

#AUTUMN BEAUTY I was struck by the unsettlingly dark beauty of the #Bronte family home & churchyard when I visited Haworth. Shrouded in mist among the #autumn leaves it was clear no coward soul could live here. Glorious in its gothic gloom.

List three things you can talk about for three hours with no prep: 1. Pre-2005 Doctor Who 2. History (random time periods and cultures) 3. Elden Ring lore

Here's me. "The Yanks are cooked (and cooking the rest of us)"

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Let’s do everything we can to tie ourselves strategically and militarily to the stupidest, most racist and corrupt regime in the history of the modern west, at the expense of every other regional relationship. Pls thank me Australia, I’m a diplomatic genius.

I think my favourite sci fi genre is pretty robot lady calmly beating up flimsy human men
