Flu and Covid jabs today. Had to pay for both. Whatevs. If you are eligible for them on the NHS please get them. If you aren’t, please consider paying. Respiratory illness is already putting a big strain on hospitals and it’s only October.

And making theft illegal would “kill” the thieving industry. Good. Make theft illegal again.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says: "Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app. i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

Tomorrow, October 7th, we will be subjected to a wall to wall propaganda campaign in the media designed to convince us that a very bloody militant attack justifies two years of systematic genocide against a captive population of 2 million. [Thread]

An excellent thread 🧵

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).” Israel has dropped 200,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 20 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey.

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it. Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes. He's now charged with murder.

The MET police at its finest : once again carting off pensioners who are anti- genocide (Trafalgar Square, London, 4th October)

name one other country on this planet that could kidnap 497 people from 46 different countries & get away with it Israel boarded the boats in international waters, so the word "kidnap" is correct. clear breach of international maritime law

Fascinated that whoever did this was smart enough that the acrostic is not even that much of a stretch, but not smart enough not to do it.

"Our credible plan is also an acrostic." (This is, genuinely, the actual Conservative press release.)

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

It's a crucial and inspiring message - thank you, Jane. And can we organise that rocket as a memorial to her?

This is a wonderful story, and a truly amazing achievement! 🧵🦉❤️

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

im sick and tired of this fucking stupidity. standing in opposition to israel's genocide is not antisemitism. conflating all jews, as oberman is doing here, with israel is antisemitism. she needs to fuck off.

The Metropolitan Police have arrested 493 people in Trafalgar Square for holding signs reading "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action" and say the figure could rise as processing continues That brings the number of arrests linked to the Palestine Action ban to around 2,000 in London alone

Flags went up in Stirchley a few days ago & were taken down by local residents the same evening. The men returned with a cherry picker and coned off parts of the road with police accompanying them as they put up new flags along the High Street. Residents who object have been met with verbal abuse.

Massive improvement on the original!

I only ever heard second-hand from my German relatives what the 1930s were like but it sounded like this. You see the story, it feels wrong, but everyone else around you is just carrying on, shopping, working, going to the cinema. So you do the same. Keep your head down, maybe this is fine? Normal?

Important PSA! Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut. That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

I wonder if it has ever occurred to Tommy Robinson that if he doesn't like prison, he could try not breaking the law.

labour are addicted to triangulation and have no ethics, morals, or principles. that lets the right set the narrative and leaves labour chasing them on policy bcos focus groups reflect right wing media narratives. basically: they aren't leaders. they're dogs chasing cars.

As we talked politics my work friend noted that it feels impossible to share a society with so many people who have turned their backs on reality, and as I adjusted my mask while looking at his maskless face, I said: I agree completely.

Why is Keir Starmer obsessed with Nigel Farage?

The Israeli Navy has illegally boarded the Global Sumud humanitarian flotilla IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS and taken Greta Thunberg into custody. In the spirit of the proposed peace deal, of course. What a brave lady she is. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

I keep hearing people say that this is just that time of the year when everyone has a cough, and though I am not very old I am old enough to remember that this has not always been a time of the year when everyone has a cough.

Stop buying his fucking books

I want to talk about generative AI because of the defeatist impulses chronicled in this article. While simply expresssing a defiant attitude cannot always change lived-in reality, in certain cases it definitely can. This is in part because, early on, a conflict can exist at a perceptions level. 1/?

“Hope you’re having a good time” yeah I’m having a great time, having to look after my family member with schizophrenia who is now incredibly paranoid 24/7 because of this disgusting government slashing welfare and their violent rhetoric (“cracking down”) around the disabled. You are a disgrace.

He seems nice.🙄 Imagine if these kids were black.
