I have been screaming this to the heavens for years and it’s lovely to see more people noticing: BEING safe is a right, FEELING safe is between you and your therapist. And the demand to FEEL safe is constantly weaponized to deprive other people of their real, actual safety.

Believing in astrology is such an underrated red flag and litmus test of a person.

If this means we're going to start getting to the loopy end of Skunk works again then I will take a sliver of happiness from this

Zohran is the guy we all thought and hoped Obama was

I think the last era of GTA we could have had a London revisit was the San Andreas era. They abandoned the stylised parody in favour of trying to be serious, and with it the ability of having someone walk across Shepherds Bush (I assume now called Milkmaid's Bush) with an RPG over their shoulder.

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story. Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done. You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story! 🧵 1/9

Hot take: Analytic philosophy is *not* obsessed with word meaning. Correct word meaning is crucial to any discussion! 90% of pointless argument is because nobody defined the meaning of a word or the purpose of an endeavor. It's like claiming mathematicians are obsessed with symbol meaning. Fah!

If I sound bitter, it is because of the sheer lack of seriousness of Trump and his cronies over both Gaza and Ukraine. A whole diplomacy based on stupidity, delivered by unexperienced and partial wannabes like Kushner and Witkoff.

The costs of the UK’s Global Talent Visa looks a trifle high in comparison to competitor countries - largely through the Immigration Health Surcharge (which critics say is a form of double taxation as they contribute to the NHS through normal tax on their earnings)

OTD in 2016 Gorbachev stated quite categorically that he never received a promise by NATO not to admit new members to the alliance. He said the idea that Russia was betrayed is a myth. Which triggers my trolls.

During the cold war the KGB had a huge stockpile of rare metals in warehouses for wartime production. When the cold war ended, it disappeared, illegally sold through St. Petersburg. Most likely by crooked former KGB agents. Guess who worked as a metals trader in Russia at the time? Farage.

Reading @londoncentric.media and reflecting on how everything wrong with Britain can be seen through Deliveroo: - much of the economy is fraudulent - people don’t go outside - workers are underpaid and insecure - the immigration system is broken - society is being eroded by Big Tech

"Most of us basically love our country, even if begrudgingly – not the version we’re told to, or even presented with, but the one we really see and live in every day. Silly Sausage Britain is the Britain most of us reside in, and love." @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social on "Mr Blobby patriotism"

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did. 🚨🚨🚨

I am going to have an aneurysm if I see another post claiming the suffragettes were either a) peaceful protesters (they described themselves as terrorists and literally bombed places) or b) winning women the vote. Millicent Fawcett has been forgotten.

Can anyone in the US explain to me why everyone seems to think that Trump even wants the shutdown to end? Nothing he has done has suggested this, and the shutdown is basically his enabling act.

Nigel Farage has been a lifelong racist. He's been a racist since his school days. David Lammy was forced to apologise for saying Farage flirted with the Hitler Youth - but what do you call it when someone sings Hitler Youth songs? Read Chloe Deakin's letter on Farage's fascism and racism at school.

As the clip is being picked up a bit, here’s a reminder that you can find out about how the Digital ID will work here – most of the basic tech implementation already exists, and has been built in-house by the Government Digital Service/DSIT! takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/how-the-uk...

Blue Labour is nonsense because it mistakes nostalgia for politics. It offers a fantasy of a working class that no longer exists: pipe-smoking men in flat caps, dutiful wives, village greens. Instead of confronting capital, it picks a fight with modernity. I hate that man.

Military clothes were historically designed for function, not fashion. High-waisted pants kept shirts tucked and allowed for better mobility. The Ike jacket was inspired by British battledress, which involved a cropped jacket that felt comfy when driving. Why change? IG army.navy.vintage

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected. Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

While today he presents himself as the defender of Palestinians under Israeli bombardment, the Russian intervention in Syria was supported by Labour’s former leader Jeremy Corbyn, and his director of communications Seamus Milne. This is why Syrians continue to despise him. bsky.app/profile/ozka...

As we all know the literal first thing the Nazis did was silence all dissent. Oh wait, no, they didn't. The privilege and ignorance required to think this is unbelievable.

If you're against mandatory government id and also against "illegal" immigration, just come out and admit you don't like brown people. You have nowhere to hide anymore.

OTD in 1939 the German–Soviet victory parade took place in Polish town of Brest-Litovsk. As allies, we celebrated liberating Poland from the Poles

Hey @shedfpl.bsky.social and any others wanting to make hot sauce, my rather ad-hoc recipe is in the Alt text. #Chillies #HotSauce #CarolinaReaper

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Whatever Eldrich being can give me the strength to follow through with this, grant me my wish

This is what fascist scholars mean when they say "don't give them an inch."

This is everything right now that's happening, everywhere.

Libertarians are just totalitarians who hate paying taxes.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

This is playing out exactly as I expected:

Another thing I love about the present moment - Musk regularly goes 'don't worry, we are going to change THAT' whenever Grok produces an answer that doesn't align with his priors, yet the British Labour government thinks that they are going to be able to land an argument on there in 2029.

#Belarus Political prisoner Mikita Zalatarou, who has epilepsy and has repeatedly reported torture in custody, cut his veins in the Orsha colony. He was rushed to hospital and survived, but his condition is alarming. He was 16 when he was arrested in 2020.

I'm sorry @jacobinmag.bsky.social but this take, accusing fellow leftists of a "competitive lack of empathy" and "antimoral posturing" whilst saying Kirk "never laid a finger on anyone" is frankly afactual to the point of gaslighting. jacobin.com/2025/09/char...

My friend @slagmaxxing.bsky.social is helping a gay man from a Middle Eastern country escape to New Zealand and apply for asylum. I am here to support and share. Would be grateful if you could support and share as well. gofund.me/ce09ad95d

net immigration fell by more than half last year and the politics has gone in the complete opposite direction. It's not really about the numbers
