Among all the issues here, the thing I feel I must point out is that the King already has an army, and it’s called The Army.

that's not a very nice way to refer to London museums

Uk government reached the “harassing lawyers who win cases against us” stage of opression. “Fahad is a senior solicitor specialising in cases involving national security and has a strong track record of holding the British government to account”

Opening up William Dalrymple's "The Anarchy", about the rise of the East India Company, and he leads with this magnificent quote.

Got these up on my website finally! I would love them to sell out so I can transfer a bulk of money in one go to the Sameer Project who are providing food to people in Gaza. The red colourway is so far proving the more popular so get ‘em quick! Limited edition of 50 in each colour. £15 each.

In an alternate universe Starmer is the manager of a local Nando’s and spends most of his time policing the soft drink machine so no one gets a freebie

New poll of Jewish Americans: • 61% say Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza. • 39% say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Gift link: wapo.st/42q0h5z

If people are going to clap when planes land, it should be done properly like a musical. The crew do individual bows, pilots come out and get flowers, a final song reprises the most popular bits of the flight.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

Pep is objectively correct. On average, Israel kills 35 children every day in Gaza. With Israel blocking most food aid, around a quarter of all Gaza residents were suffering from famine in August. Together, this constitutes genocide, according to the International Association of Genocide Scholars

Israel has been doing this from the start. They have killed dozens of UN troops. And despite Israel shooting and abducting Irish citizens, Ireland maintains relations with Israel.

“Why don’t you just verify your ID? Just send them your passport/face scan/credit card, what could go wrong? It’s perfectly safe you’re just paranoid” etc etc etc

Wonderful to witness yesterday the launch of big bunch of resources from the Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership for people working at the intersection of climate and disability. More here: bristolclimatenature.org/news/creatin... #IntersectionalEnvironmentalism

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

Video: a Nazi at the University of Washington interrupted a psych class by doing a Nazi salute and yelling Heil Hitler only to have the entire class chase after him as he tried to escape I will always repeat this: we outnumber them, by far. We need to be organised. www.reddit.com/r/udub/s/YDY...

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters. If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire. Subscribe to support our journalism.

JSX. Is this something people would be interested in?

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

ahhh nooo please make it stop

They seem to have left the ending off the Royal Society letter about Musk supporting Tommy Robinson, in which they strip him of his Fellowship. Weird. https://royalsociety.org/news/2025/10/statement-from-president-royal-society/

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, do these sound like the actions of a man who has had all he can eat?

Dear dr. Goodall, thank you for a life of dedication, and for being an example that inspires the next generation of legends. Rest in peace.

RIP Jane Goodall.

See if you’re arguing that you should roll back human rights laws because it’s stopping you from deporting people to places where they’ll be tortured. You shouldn’t be Prime Minister.

truth coming out of her well to shame mankind

I'm glad to have gotten to cover Tech for Palestine for @ssir.org. Read about the incubator's (v ambitious!) efforts to "change [the tech industry] into something that’s pro-freedom, pro-liberation, and pro-human rights." ssir.org/articles/ent... CC @paulbiggar.com @techforpalestine.org

"The new trans rules are “not right” and should be reviewed by MPS, one of Labour’s deputy leadership candidates has said. "Lucy Powell appeared to criticise the (EHRC) guidance on transgender issues, which has advised that workplaces provide protected single-sex spaces." [Telegraph]

Emma Watson and JK Rowling is a perfect example of why you can't have a civil debate with transphobes. They laugh at your display of kindness. They are filled to the brim with hate for trans people. You cannot reason with them.

I cannot imagine anyone I know in academia letting this happen. It's utterly appalling. Glasgow uni failed to record the grade he had in fact earned, then refused him a degree, then abandoned him to kill himself. For utter, enduring shame.

"It's not just about being Sikh. It's about being brown. People don't distinguish between Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus... It feels like the 1970s again. I remember the National Front. The difference now is social media is amplifying hate." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #r4today

this guy literally goes out of his way to use slurs and make people feel unwelcome. everybody _knows_ that last word is a slur; his sole purpose in using language like this (and going back to using “master”) is as a statement to say that he doesn’t care about other people. it’s just a signal.

Friends. These are lots of my all-time favorite images. I'm letting them go, frankly out of desperation. You can download them all and make prints or use as backgrounds on your devices. Pay whatever you think they're worth ❤️ buymeacoffee.com/angrytheinch drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Sometimes, I wish "software engineer" actually *was* a regulated profession, so we could revoke the licence of anyone who builds a website with links that are not actually links and do not open in a new tab when you Ctrl-Click on them.
