What some of us have been warning of for decades is happening, faster and fiercer than most imagined, even in the mildest and most temperate corners of the world. #ClimateBreakdown

The fact Labour would rather enable the racist illiberal right if it means locking the liberal anti-racist left out certainly clarifies the type of party Labour is for anyone who might still be unsure

People in general massively overestimate number of people coming to the UK, while massively underestimating what they bring. It's an issue amplified by xenophobic and racist rhetoric and policies, including those of current government, which seek to make immigration out to be some kind of "crisis".

So, if he's going to stick with a hardline and frankly cruel immigration policy and thinks we should stay out of the EU and wants to reform the election system but only after the next election, what, I ask, is the actual fucking point of it all?

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Wes Streeting has resigned to take the job he was born to do…regional sales manager for Moss Bros

Some mornings I look my calendar and experience a WTF moment. Double booked 9:30-10:30, an hour meeting, half an hour meeting, a four hour workshop on BYOD and an hour reviewing our team hub site. That's 1.5 hours to eat lunch and do all the work I need to do today, and 7.5 hours of meetings.

Consistently clear, easy to read and funny deconstruction of the most egregious bullshit in the papers.

The far right might be loud. But we know that hope is louder, love is brighter and unity is stronger. We won’t let division define us. 👉 Share this post to make it clear: the majority stands for love over hate.

The Daily Star have bought another lettuce 👀

I laugh when I see organisations contorting themselves to comply with Cyber Essentials (the governments own Cyber Security standard) whilst the cabinet and number 10 use Twitter, WhatsApp and personally owned devices apparently without a care in the world!

So there are crazy headlines, and then there are "I'm sorry WTAF now?" headlines...😳 Yes, the Telegraph have deduced that Ed Miliband hates mothers because of some new legislation making tumble dryers more efficient and cheaper to run! 🧵 1/24

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis. Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians. Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.

The billionaire class are terrified because we're coming for them - we're going to tax them fairly and end rip-off Britain. Let them attack. We're here to win. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Drinking taxpayer subsidised booze at work, and laughing at us whilst they do it.

During family discourse this evening we invented two new words. Patronoying: being particularly patriarchal, patronising and annoying at the same time. Enmidification: lesser version of enshitification, to render something 'mid'

With all that’s going on in the world right now, I feel it’s really important to draw a distinction between ‘religion’ and ‘faith’. I’m not religious, but I have a humanist worldview which prioritises rational thought, empathy and kindness. I know many people of faith who hold similar values. 1/5

‘I feel like I’m losing her’: the families torn apart by older relatives going far right www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The right to protest isn’t a gift from government. It’s a democratic principle, hard-won and easily lost. Last night the government tried to smuggle through a “cumulative disruption” power that would let police ban protests simply because other people had protested in the same area before. (1/5)

Influencers continue to exist largely by our consent: by us agreeing to treat them as Very Special rather than treating them with overt scorn. At least 50% of this preposterous scrote’s social encounters should end with him being bullied into pissing himself. GET A JOB AND A HAIRCUT

Today we're in London marching with the Green Party bloc as part of the @togetheralliance.bsky.social against the far right. We're marching for love, hope and unity as a counter to the hatred, despair and division of the far right. Time to show the world who we really are! togetheralliance.org.uk

While our American cousins take to the streets to protest against Tяump's authoritarianism on No Kings Day, we're marching in London to prevent his divisive politics being imported to the UK. I'll be playing a few songs in Whitehall around 2:30pm www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is an incredibly readable and thought rich piece. Very much worth five minutes of your day.

I'm not a believer in the Great Man Theory of History, but there's a certain credibility to the Fucking Idiot Theory of History. And a Fucking Idiot may well just have got us all into World War Three. 6/6

"How does one hate a country, or love one?" Ursula Le Guin always out there expressing my exact feelings in trying times.

This is ghoulish and needs to be reversed immediately. That the censor claims Soul Music by the late, great Terry Pratchett "may include sexual material, violence, abuse, substance misuse, or psychologically distressing themes" shows they've no fucking clue what they're talking about.

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, T-shirts and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Feels like I just sat in a meeting on the Titanic about what our iceberg avoidance requirements were, whilst steaming full speed ahead less than 1km from said iceberg. And everyone was just going with it (with varying levels of WTF on their faces depending on how informed they were).

ME: oh a little Zohran video for St Patrick's Day, probably just celebrating Irish culture, maybe a few green beer jokes ZOHRAN (2 minutes in): ...and that's why King Leopold I of Belgium is a big wet bitch. Furthermore...

I lost quite a lot of today trying to work out why a bunch of #m365 apps stopped working, on multiple devices. Eventually tracked it down to Microsoft CDN being listed by Google Safe Browsing (res.cdn.office.net which resolved to res-stls-prod.edgesuite.net.globalredir.akadns88.net)

"I would do anything for my grandchildren"

I only had a ChatGPT account for test queries I ran out of curiosity, but I've still cancelled my account, because regardless of what you think about the technology, supporting an organisation which is bankrolling authoritarianism is a choice, and it affects real people, so do this one small thing.

I think the shift once people realise a vote for the Greens isn't a wasted vote will be massive. People have been crying out for politicians they can trust for years, now there's a viable option which doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Watching Channel 4s #DirtyBusiness about the absolutely shit state of our water industry, and whilst rage-researching one of the most egregious offenders, Sir James Bevan, I spotted a petition calling for removal of his knighthoo, why not join me and sign it? www.change.org/p/remove-sir...

Since @networkrail.bsky.social did something to our local cell tower when they were working on the line, every morning I roll a D20 to see what bandwidth I'll get. First good roll for two weeks!

Well worth a few minutes of your time I humbly suggest 👇👇

Can I suggest that everyone disgusted by Farage’s shameful treatment of @annasophiegross.bsky.social follows her en masse? Let’s show her our support, solidarity and that we stand with her, and every other journalist, who is doing their job and holding all politicians to account.

I'm definitely experiencing some nerd cognitive dysfunction. After nearly two years on the boat with stable connectivity using a FRITZ!Box 6850 5G router I've had a week of intermittent and protracted outages. 1/3

Just going to leave this here

Ratfcliffe is a billionaire Brexiteer. His a football club is full of migrant players. When he talks about “colonisation” he’s talking about all black and brown people in the UK. People who do more for their communities than a billionaire who steals from them and trashed the economy they live in.

So our local mobile phone tower is apparently offline again so I'm connected to one 3.2km away, which probably means as a boat dwelling water gypsy my Teams calls will suck today. Might need to pop in to my local cafe again (any excuse!)
