So, apparently the reason the fash didn't try and fight us today was because they got into a heated fight between themselves over whether to obey the police directions for their protest or not....because the designated protest zone was in breach of their s.34 orders.....

This IS a great headline and also: Seattle! Get the word out! Someone was exposed to rabies and needs to seek medical care IMMEDIATELY!

Decorating the fences at the refugee hotel. #FuckFacism

Its wrong & un-British to strip from people the promise that this was their permanent home Is it racist too? Farage is now exempting 4m European nationals with settled status, 9/10 white, but threatening half a million non-Europeans, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Africa in a similar ethical position

On its way to 2.2m! petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

I have a lot of green tomatoes. Worrying possibility this will lead to chutney making.

The entire summer has been very small far right groups, often significantly outnumbered, presented to the public as vast popular protest. @sundersays.bsky.social has done brilliant work highlighting this.

Hi. It's me. 2 weeks later. This is done. 58 frames over 3 seconds, *50* layers in the final image. WOO. This was a long edit, felt like ACTUAL work so unless I get it again with the actual sunset I doubt I'll be editing more like this. Psyched for the final piece tho! 🪶

At last, new rolling stock on the East Coast Mainline.

National flags sparked tensions. Families, children and neighbours responded with something far stronger: a city’s solidarity. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @owensennitt.bsky.social

Soldiers are very ineffective at police work. The only purpose in doing this is so they can shoot people. Journalists not covering it in those terms are lying.

🎵SWING LOW SWEET CHARRIOT🎵

Come on England. #Rugby

New development proposed in the field nearby has led to a leaflet through my letter box decrying, amongst other things, an increase in pedestrian traffic it would cause. Pedestrians....

Crucial update.

Has now passed a million signatures.

A state of 'lol' is in effect

"As soon as those flags went up, something changed in the wind, something didn't feel right." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Action on climate change is extremely popular in the UK. More people support renewable energy than say they like Pizza.

isn’t British control of a mandate in Palestine WHAT LANDED US IN THIS MESS IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE

'We're clamping down on deliveroo cause migrants' and not 'we're clamping down on deliveroo cause they're exploitative wankers only profitable off the backs exploited workers' isn't very laboury.

So I like that it's a 10 year commitment and for the locations involved actually a decent amount of money. I'm less sure about needing a 'Pride in Place' board and I'm curious in what it can actually be spent on.

shot, chaser.

I'm sorry wtaf did Covid write this categorisation? Great to know relatives who need daily oxygen can't get Covid jabs because their immune system is nominally fine.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

This is going to be a bucket of cold sick with the electorate and doesn't exactly fit with his 'national renewal' we were promised the conference would be about. Why can't they announce something good like electoral reform, finishing HS2, a national mission to end rough sleeping etc?

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Visited a flood alleviation scheme today aka what those attenuation ponds developers put on new estates would look like if they did then properly. (The trick is designing it to always have a small level of water to encourage marginal growth)

www.norfolk.police.uk/news/norfolk... In 'concerned citizens' updates yet again the fascist thugs have got themselves arrested for forcing their way into a refugee hotel to racially abuse the residents. Still no leadership from Westminster.

This country made significant progress against racism in my lifetime - but we did not do so by chance. There is a visible visceral regression in experiencing of overt racism because the toxic fringe with the most extreme views have a sense of permission & impunity www.easterneye.biz/racism-in-uk...

So I have to spend 2 hours driving today, none of my favourite podcasts have released new content and I think this is entirely out of spite from the content producers. *sulks in an entirely unreasonable way*

Consultation for 800 new houses just landed. Live view of the local arsebook page.

ICYMI Global investment in energy likely to hit about $3.3 trillion (£2.4tn) this year More than $1tn of the total is still likely to flow into fossil fuels But double that amount – about $2.2tn – expected for low-carbon energy www.theguardian.com/environment/...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Genuinely fantastic news and a massive hats off to all involved.

If anyone has the keys to the Dreamlifter could you pop it up and fly it about a bit so I can tick off today's missions on SkyCards?

I love it when a mail merge fail happens to someone else.

Lunchtime tree view

Europe should tell Trump and RFK Jr. it exports an amazing alternative to Tylenol called paracetamol and use that as leverage in tariff negotiations.

I'm glad Kimmel is coming back. However, "free speech" where you can reverse government-coerced corporate censorship but only if your supporters make stock price influencing noise would be like a healthcare system in which you need a GoFundMe to go viral to afford treatment. ... wait.

I think Janey had it right.

After reading @swordsjew.bsky.social 's 'Wild Faith' I am wondering if making pregnancy unpleasant is the policy goal on itself, given how much of Trump's coalition believe pain in childbirth is divine punishment.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

The thing to grasp here is Argentina is not suffering because of a backlash to it's (terrible) economic policy. It needs a lifeline because the President's family stole vast sums from the state coffers as so the markets don't trust them anymore.

9 weeks later and not only have they still not rebuilt the crossing they demolished, we still only have this 'f*** you pedestrians' signage on the 'diversion' route.

Wasn't Badenoch touting this guy as her hero like, last month?

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles

'We considered this environment too stressful for a dog to live in. We remain silent on the humans that live there'.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Right wingers bang on about 'family values' but seem perfectly content to tear apart long settled families. I don't imagine there is a family in the land that would be free from this wanton cruelty and hate.
