What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

What an absolute crayon muncher. "Masculine Christianity"

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Trump hasn't been seen in public for a few days, with rumours rife that he's back at Epstein-a-Largo for another embalming session. 🐢💨

Report this Nazi PoS!

I love that Lidl did this. They should bring them back so all the 50somethings can enjoy a sugary lift at their afternoon raves 😁

Ar-Pharazôn the Orange is demented.

I was bored and took photos of toys

I couldn’t pass these by 😁

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

This story is now big news all over the world... except in the UK.

Project 2025’s playbook is the operating manual for this authoritarian regime. Trump lied about it to get elected. He’s not just dismantling our democracy. He’s doing it with cruelty and glee. #resist open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

(I know this might raise a sardonic smirk on the faces of sky-folk in different countries and continents but...) This spider was absolutely flipping MASSIVE! 🌱🕸📷 #Arachtober #BugSky #InsectThursday #UKWildlife

Oh, that’s a good one.

Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses

Secret BBC filming exposes hidden culture of misogyny and racism inside Met Police. Police officers called for immigrants to be shot, revelled in the use of force and were dismissive of rape claims. These revelations have been made before. Nothing changed. Any wonder trust in police is low.

Devon! I am in you!

“Ah," said Mr Pin. "Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens." He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'. - Terry Pratchett, The Truth

More capitulation to the infinite grifter.

Amazing band. If you missed them, then you missed out. They’re doing a very short tour at the moment though. Cracking live band!

Part of ICE’s efforts will be setting up random traffic stops and checkpoints throughout the city and making educated guesses about who to detain and who not to detain. These 'Guess Stops' will be staffed by special agents known as Guess Stop Officers, or 'Guess-Stop-O for short.

Don’t worry, once we’ve helped them come for immigrants and trans people, they’re sure to be appeased and dedicated to solidarity in our great big tent and not come after anyone else, as history teaches

How about this for a characterful subject for #thicktrunkTuesday? It is one of the magnificent trees growing on Wisley’s Battleston Hill. I was so taken with it I forgot to make a note of its name! 🌱 Off to London today.

Nathan Gill (Reform) admitted eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements he made in the European parliament. Reform would like you to think there is no link to Farage, but here he is out campaigning with Gill. Time to expose Farage's links to Russia.

Superb Star Wars themed BMW Motorcycle at the Notcon today

Visited Norcon at the Norfolk z show ground today and saw much splendid geekiness

I can't remember who, but someone on Twitter (as was) made a good case that the boomers / Gen Xers sneering about media studies were the same ones getting culled by every grift and conspiracy going on Facebook. And would benefit from learning some critical thinking about the media.
